Replacement part

Updated by user Aug 06, 2025

It appears that Havahart does no stand behind their products. I have a trap that needs a spring to be replaced.

It cost about $5. The company does not provide replacement parts so I'm directed to spend $90 on a new trap.If I need to buy a new trap it won't be a Havahart.

Original review Jul 21, 2025

Looking for a spring for a medium-sized single-entry wire cage. Any suggestions on how I can replace it?

Bought a harahart trap at local retailer and took out of box and took up to my cabin. Two months went to set and found two minor parts missing to set trap.

Upon contacting customer service they could not help me unless I had receipt and mailed back to company.

My cost of course. Receipt and box log time gone So I am out $59.

COMPLAINT

THE DIRECTIONS TO YOUR MOUSE TRAP ARE CONFUSING. I READ WELL AND HAVE A PH.D TO PROVE IT. BUT THEY ARE NOT ADEQUATE TO SETTING THE TRAP.

Preferred solution: I'll just keep trying

purchased a live trap for racoons. the first night i set it it was unset with nothing in it.

after looking it over the clips had not been put on where the trap seam was, and the animal had escaped. returned it to store for new one. guess what the first night the new trap was set the animal had escaped. the wires where the seam was, were torn loose enough so that the animal was able to escape out the door by bending the trap wires.

what a cheaply built piece of crap. sure wasted my money on that trap.

Poorly made trap

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I purchased Havahart trap for raccoons. Grate holes are so large that coon just reaches through holes and drags bait out, You'd think they would know how smart these animals are. Guess I'll have to buy some small mesh wire and wrap around it.

Havahart traps

I recently ordered a model 1079 Havahart trap from Amazon, it arrived incomplete with a missing door lock frame. So I packaged it for return and ordered another.

The second trap arrived today with the same problem - no door lock frame. I, and my neighbors, are unable to set the trap. Please send me two replacement door lock frames,the armadillos are tearing up my lawn!

Thanks for youjr help. Sharon Sisson

POORLY MADE TRAPS. ANIMALS EASILY ESCAPE. DO NOT BUY.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I recently purchased the large two door trap to catch groundhogs and opossums. The trap is poorly made and cannot withstand the animals efforts to get out.

The plastic use to prevent the animal from escaping has been shattered by the animals. I called the company and replacement parts are not available. I STRONGLY recommend you do not buy these traps. The trap I purchased was specifically made for opossums and groundhogs (woodchucks).

It is important that you purchase traps that do not use cheap plastic parts.

The trap cost me approximately $80 and now requires I try some retrofitting to make it work properly. It is also poor practice not to sell replacement parts and require a customer to ship a large unit such as this back to the company.

Horrible company

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

This is by far the worst company ever. Ordered a product.

Lady told us if it's not right size they would send me a label to return it. Guess what? Was not what we needed. NO label given.

Was told I have to spend the money to ship the trap back. These people are liars and are worthless. Do not do business with a garbage company like this. The lady was also rude on the phone and said I must have misunderstood the ordering person.

That is not true.

I hear very well. I was told they would email me a label if this product does not work and it didn.t

Havahart Deer Off product

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I purchased this product from a local Loews store it was advertised to keep deer away from the garden. After it's application, not onlt did the deer come into the area, they ate the plants that was planted 18 inches from the product.

I emailed the company, at their website it said someone would respond within 24 hours. Seven days later I received a response that said I could have returned the product to the store if it had not been over 30 days. when I sent the email it hadn't been 30 days but the slow response put me past the limit. Poor service, I?

never buy the anything from the company again.
