Product Description
The Havahart X-Small 2-Door Live Animal Trap delivers humane, effective catch-and-release for mice, voles, shrews, and chipmunks. Designed and field-tested by professional trappers over 75+ years, this 10" x 3" x 3" trap features dual gravity-action doors that allow animals to enter from either direction, increasing catch success. The ultra-sensitive trigger plate captures even the lightest animals, while extra-small mesh openings prevent bait theft and escapes. Constructed from rust-resistant galvanized steel with smooth rolled internal edges, this trap protects both handler and animal during capture and transport. Solid door and handle guards minimize contact with trapped animals, while the external trigger rod placement prevents damage from anxious captives. Pre-assembled and ready to use with included instructions, this Made in USA trap provides a safer, more humane alternative to snap traps and poisons.

Setting Instructions:
- Turn door locks to open position
- Push down straight trigger rod to open one door, place bait on bait pan
- Push down offset loop on looped trigger rod to open both doors
- Position flat end of looped trigger rod under flat end of bait pan trigger (both doors held open, bait pan level)
- Turn door lock knobs so locks rest on doors
Placement & Baiting: Place trap where animals frequent (garden damage areas, along walls, near entry points). Camouflage with surrounding debris (dirt, grass, leaves). Place bait around trap exterior to entice entry. For best results, place bait under trigger or dig small hole beneath trap for bait placement—this forces animal to work harder for food, increasing trigger likelihood.
Recommended Baits: Peanut butter (sticks to pan), crushed peanuts, seeds, nuts
Release Instructions: Flip door locks to unlocked position. Gently tip trap on side or upside down using foot. Back away—animal will exit on its own.
