Constructed from sturdy, rust-resistant wire mesh with steel reinforcements, it ensures durability and safety during transportation. ## Description With the Havahart Large 2-Door Safe Release Trap, releasing an animal has never been easier. Simply set the trap’s timer for up to 5 minutes and unlock the latches on the release door. Then walk a safe distance away from the trap and wait for the timer to go off. Once the time is up, the cage door will automatically open to release the animal. The animal can exit the trap without you ever needing to come into direct contact with it – there’s less stress for you and the animal! A handle guard and solid doors protect you from contact with the animal while it is inside the trap. The handle allows you to carry the trap away from your body during transport. Plus, the timed door means you can stand at a safe distance away from the trap as the animal is released from the cage. Strong door locks keep animals safely in the cage, while smooth, rolled edges prevent anxious critters from injuring themselves during transport. ## Features - Designed for safe, humane catch and release of raccoons, opossums and groundhogs - Easy 3-step release process: set timer, unlock latches and walk away - Patented hands-free time release door reduces stress for you and the animal - Constructed of sturdy rust-resistant wire mesh with steel reinforcements - Solid doors and handle guards protect users during transportation ## Product Details - **Brand:** HAVAHART - **Color:** Havahart 998 Large 2-Door Safe Release Humane Live Animal Cage Trap for Raccoons, Opossums, Groundhogs - **Style:** Modern - **Material:** Galvanized Steel; One-Piece 12-Gauge Wire Mesh - **Item Weight:** 12.1 Pounds - **Number of Pieces:** 1 - **Target Species:** Raccoons, bobcats, opossums, groundhogs and small foxes - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count - **UPC:** 036348009986 - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00036348009986 ## Images ![Havahart 998 Large 2-Door Safe Release Humane Live Animal Cage Trap for Raccoons, Opossums, Groundhogs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614np1oLxBL.jpg) ![Havahart 998 Large 2-Door Safe Release Humane Live Animal Cage Trap for Raccoons, Opossums, Groundhogs - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PWb92WJ0L.jpg) ![Havahart 998 Large 2-Door Safe Release Humane Live Animal Cage Trap for Raccoons, Opossums, Groundhogs - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jV5STFhrL.jpg) ![Havahart 998 Large 2-Door Safe Release Humane Live Animal Cage Trap for Raccoons, Opossums, Groundhogs - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ordENOYnL.jpg) ![Havahart 998 Large 2-Door Safe Release Humane Live Animal Cage Trap for Raccoons, Opossums, Groundhogs - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+qbCwUX7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Any tips for using this trap for feral kittens? So far they get the food and leave without the door shutting or before it shuts** A: You need to put the food behind the plate that is raised up. Once they step on that the doors should close unless the kittens are not heavy enough to cause the plate to collapse. **Q: Has anyone tried this for trapping...iguanas?** A: I have trapped iguanas in a single door trap baiting with orange slices. We do have a problem with smaller lizards dragging the fruit out without triggering the trap. **Q: Will a skunk be able to spray when caught in this trap?** A: This trap will have no effect on a skunk's ability to spray. **Q: Will the large size be big enough to trap a large adult raccoon...like...big raccoon** A: The dimensions of this trap are 12.8 x 12.8 x 37 in and should accommodate a large raccoon. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Cage!!! *by M***H on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2020* Havahart makes quite an amazing rodent cage. I purchased this in June for the raccoon problem we began to have. Living in the country nearly 18 years raccoons had never been a problem. The end of May, early June they came out of no where. I have a lot of bird feeders & they love the food but we didn’t love them! :) This cage was a life saver for the amount of raccoons that began to appear come darkness. Even after taking all my feeders down at night they would enjoy the food on the ground & began to majorly dig out grass.ENTER: this fabulous cage. The pictures I posted shows all the features of the cage. A variety of both doors being open to set the trap, the doors being shut, the hole they climb through to get out, the small latch on both side which would be tripped upon stepping on the bar in the middle. Now these pictures I took after capturing at least 15 raccoons. This was the biggest & most valuable investment we made & got rid of the entire family of raccoons. I watched some videos on how to capture & the 2 key elements are marshmallows & tuna fish. Raccoons love both~especially the marshmallows. You want to keep them in there long enough to step on the bar in the middle which would close the doors. Some were tricky & somehow got a couple marshmallows without the door closing but we then purchased the very small marshmallows which kept them in the cage longer. My husband had no problem transporting them. We had all sizes & even the largest one wiggled it’s way out the door. Not once did one have trouble getting out because they wanted out. The cage is extremely sturdy & extremely durable. As you can see the pictures went through at least 15 captures & it’s still in excellent condition. I can’t stress enough nor thank Havahart enough for making a cage that truly does what it’s suppose to do. It surely will be ready for more in years to come because that’s how long I think it will last. The raccoons do dig in the grass/dirt area in trying to get out so the only maintenance after capturing one would be getting all the dirt & mud from under the bar/trigger in the middle to set it up for the next night. It’s best to test it out before leaving it for the night. Set it up & then trip it to make sure both doors close. Even a little bit of dirt that got crammed up inside the bar trigger could prevent it from closing. So that’s my story on this awesome cage. If you have a similar problem I recommend this 100%!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest trap ever! *by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2021* This thing is awesome, I’ve caught 6 squirrels in it already. I even caught 2 w/o baiting the trap, (but setting the spring) lol. You have to place it we’re you want it w/o setting it for several days so, the beast get used to it. Then bait & set it. Be patient, you have to learn how to mount ur bait b4 you get good at it. I was amazed at how well it worked. I let the squirrels go at a park that hade a lake. The auto-door release works like a charm. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Strange Trap *by S***6 on Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2018* So...this came today. Supposed to be a Havahart groundhog trap. No instructions. How do the animals get in? Where do I put the bait? Do I prop it up with a stick and put the bait under? Would give it 5 stars if I knew how it worked. Very confusing.Seriously, Amazon taking it back and sending replacement. I'll rate the real thing later. Just too funny to ignore. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/61131895-havahart-998-large-2-door-safe-release-humane-live-animal](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/61131895-havahart-998-large-2-door-safe-release-humane-live-animal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
