Editor's Notes
May 09, 2019:
One of the most popular brands in this area is Havahart, which has earned a reputation for the variety of its offerings as well as their effectiveness, durability, and value. Our selections reflect this market preference, with Havahart models landing two of our top three spots. We were especially impressed with the timed-release mechanism on the Havahart 998--a feature which will help keep you safe from ornery animals when you let them go. Honorable mention goes to the Tomahawk Original which, though more expensive than other options in our list, is so durable that some folks won't mind paying the extra cost.
