How to Fix a Stuck Door - HOUSE FIX With Rick e101
He's apologetic sounding about drowning a dam chipmunk, but pushes a trap that will kill your wrens.
hey rick this video is great quick helpful and to the point and it did the trick i see u havent uploaded in a few years but i hope ur doing well and know that ur tips will help people for many years to come these skills and tips never run out of use
Rodent trap is a joke !! Don’t buy it . Does not work AT ALL . Spent $40 got 3 traps and only thing it killed was Cardinal 😞 waste of money, piece of 💩
I enjoyed watching them until i saw what they were doing to my foundation & front step concret pad. Jawz is what I found at my hardware store. They havent't worked without a dab of peanut butter, but with it they're effective. They (Jawz) easily release the way shown here although they're a touch harder to reset. I put a plastic bag over my hand, release into another bag & after baiting it I step on it to set it. I don't like being a killer, yet I need to take care of my biggest investment. 🙄🫤
Extremely helpful post, helped me, and I will confirm what you said, no bait needed on traps against the house!! Thank you
I'm all for trying to keeping living creatures alive but when it comes to destroying & leaving deep holes everywhere around my foundation & yard, it's time to take action. I feel bad but got 8 in 2 days with the bucket method, they're cute but they are rodents! I may get a couple of these, small ones work great for mice.
These rodents also steal berries in the garden and spread ticks !
How do you sleep as night you sick Pos leave the chipmunks out of this 14 in a day seriously guy
I’m pretty sure this is interior only. And it shrinks.
It’s NOT interior only. Yes it shrinks, but the video discusses to build your filling up-don’t try to fill in a deep void in one batch! Remember to wet the area before patching!
After I realized I had a rodent issue I found this video. I bought 2 of these Better Rodent Traps from Home Depot. Set them out without bait and waited. It wasn't 2 days and i caught the first Chipmunk. It's been 2 weeks and the tally so far is 10 of these buggers. Works like a charm!
Do you bait it? I plan to use it in my crawlspace.
If in a spot like that try peanut butter with sunflower seeds pushed into it!!! Happy hunting
@@RickWolf Thanks.
Had a family of 3 chipmunks living in my front lawn destroying my landscaping and bushes. After I watched your video, I brought 3 traps from Ace hardware. Within 2 days, the chipmunks are all gone. Thanks!
No! Not Chewbacca! Lol
Will this work on Hardy board cement siding ????
Yes it should work great. Be sure to prime the fiber cement siding hole perimeter before you patch. This will assure the patch material will attach to a solid edge! Good luck
Leave the Chipmunks alone
My squirrels figured out how to clime that in the first day
What kind of wax? Just Car wax?
Looks like Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. I use that on both my vehicles and my doors and windows. Works great!
Thank you! I'm not good at things like this and I fubared the opening to an outdoor outlet... I replaced an efci outlet because when ever it rains it stops working. Stupid box was nailed in and I created a mess. Now I need to fix the siding.
Great results
I hate Chipmunks. It's against the law in Georgia to catch and release them so I have to be a law abiding citizen and murder them. They have learned my tricks tho so I may have to resort the your better rodent traps.
Thanks that was very helpful
I would think they can jump from the ground right up to the bird feeder, bypassing the pole and slinky. Not sure how this would help.
Didn't work.
This guy just needs to get a cat, problem solved. The chippers will stay away from the house, dug.
Cats should not be allowed outside. They kill indiscriminately. They kill beneficial animals and song birds, etc. Sure, they probably also help with rodents, which is good, but they also kill anything they can instinctively; they don't only target animals that we humans deem as pests. Keep your cats indoors, people, please!!!
Wrong.
Compelling response. I particularly like how you refuted each of my points with solid reasons and evidence.@@mtamech535
Unless you starve a cat, it won't catch anything but your songbirds, and dig and crap in your mulch beds.
So I have a lot of owls, Hawks, eagles. Is there a way I could catch them and put them in an open cage for the birds of prey to get them? Sounds crazy but I'd rather feed the birds of prey than just kill them outright. I've got a lot of chipmunks and they're getting in my garage and everywhere
Bro chill
@@royalandrosey You're right .I killed 4 in a water death trap last night. No regrets!
@@katkameo6413 never put too much thought into killing. First it's animals then it's people. Be careful.
I use a water trap and then lay then out for the birds of prey to eat.
WOW, so glad for your video, after 17 years of having two outside cats, yes 17 years of the same two outside cats passed (died) the chippers were taking over. I looked at other options like live traps, mouse traps with peanut butter, and buckets with water and seeds and none worked. BUT this Better RODENT trap worked great. Bought two of them and within a matter of two days caught (killed) 6 varmints. THANKS...
Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Ordered one from Home Depot and will give it a try.
3inch aluminum pole does the trick!
So that kills it?
Yes, unfortunately nobody wants a captured chipmunk!! Many people have caught them in live traps and released them into the the country-or-parks. They dig holes and horses trip and break legs in the holes, so look at them like you do a mouse or rat. They are a pest-poisoning them can cause issues with scavengers finding the dead poisoned chipmunk and then they die too😩! Good luck and thanks for looking at my video!!!
Can you show us how far down you attached it & how the squirrels were deterred?
I attached it on the bottom of the feeder (I used a screw and crimped the wire of the slinky under the screw head) and the feeder pole is a little less in diameter than the pipe I have attached to the feeder. It allows me to simply lift the feeder up to remove it-I don’t have the actual feeder fastened to the mounting pole.
The feeder is too low. Attach a plastic road cone like the DPW uses. The pole might fit inside the hole in the top. Install a stop on the pole to hang it from. Cut the base off the cone. Pop rivet aliminum flashing to the bottom, cuz they will chew the plastic off.
Been using this product for many yrs on my driveway, flagstone pavers, shingles, composite deck (black mold), and the moss/mold on the north side of the house . Great product! Mix 5:1 with water in a tank sprayer as shown, saturate the area, be patient (as it can take a few months to see the results), and enjoy the end result :)
Ok
Thank you for the advice!!! They are currently destroying my lawn
Question my home was built in 1930 my siding has some holes I was told to patch the holes. I got Clare clunk at Home Depot
I’m not familiar with that product?! As long as you have a wood siding (and the age of your home leads me to believe it is) the Durham’s Wood putty will work. Be sure to clean out any loose or rotten wood. Slightly dampen the edges of the hole so putty will have time to bond to the old siding (like concrete patching, you need to moisten the area to be patched or the old dry surface will pull too much moisture from the patch material and will not bond to the area). Be sure to just make a very small amount of patch material so you can get an idea of how it mixes-what consistency of patch trowels best for you, and how long before it begins to set up?! Good luck!
Thanks for the video. And ignore all of the morons crying about how "mean this is boo hoo"! Since they are such humanitarians, I would suggest that from now on when we catch these nasty lil rodents that we drop them off at their house and they can keep them as pets. 😅😅😅
@TheYogina - My exact same sentiments LOL
That’s it?! Kill ‘em with rat traps? 🤨
I guess I don’t understand why the chipmunk would just run right onto the trap…wouldn’t they go around it?
They scurry about and always race along some boarder. They don’t always look where they are going-just are trying to keep the wall or whatever is on their side. It doesn’t always work but try to place it by a corner (inside or outside). I find if you “bait” the trap, sometimes you will get birds or other animals. Try peanut butter or something that will allow you to stick some sunflowers into it!! Good luck
Unlike squirrels or rats, chipmunks are dumb. You won't need baits if your trap is on their paths.
Have you chipmunk problems? Walk the walk before you comment. This trap works great if you know their route and it's along the walls of the structure...
@@tesla4543 …I actually DO have chipmunks! We kill them with rat traps. Why does asking a simple question require a nasty response from you. And I’ve seen many chipmunks run right thru the middlemof the yard. They don’t just run along the wall. So shut it.
LOSER
Go have a good cry. They are destructive animals. They cause TONS of damage to people's property.
I caught 7 with one snap trap like that. Then I lost it. I think a predator took the rat + trap. Tie your trap down to something unmoveable so nothing can take it. Just the catch.
Thanks for the tip on the tip!!
Just smear some Vaseline on the pole and be done with it. Re-apply every few months. They hate getting that stuff on them. They try it once and they're done. I've been using it for 30 yrs. The only time they ever get up there is if I forget to re-apply it for, say, 6 Mos. The great thing is, they don't constantly test it like with these other devices. It's only when a young squirrel comes along and tries it when I haven't re-applied it for awhile. 5 mins later I'm good for another few Mos.
I tried this and that squirrel slid down the pole like a squirrel stripper and took off. It was pretty funny.
@@AB-bc9tf Glad it’s working for you! You really don’t need anything fancy.
The slinky does not work,so this is bullshit. In fact, it made it easier to get up there.
@@robertanderson5334 try the squirrel stripper things. Lol I don’t think the squirrels are even trying anymore after sliding down a few times from the petroleum jelly.
I am trying this today. I'm done with this.
It's a rodent, I agree with Rick!!
I am confused. I thought you said you don’t like the drowning method in the beginning of the video.
Yes, but it is an effective way many people use. They don’t have to go out and buy any special trap or mechanism, and it can work where you have elevations that a bucket can be used. The reason I don’t care for it is, because of sometimes hearing the little varmint struggle.
@@RickWolf Yea, but then your trap the poor guy in the plastic bag and throw him away. That's even worse. He suffocates in the heat. Just let him go somewhere else. Yea, I get the Amish hate them but these animals don't deserve to be killed. Awful.
@@tonyandcooley8835 boo hoo. They are pests. It’s not like they are endangered. Get a grip.
@@COOLFRIEND Sick reasoning...
@@RickWolf I hope no one sets up diving board for you Rick - you are a cruel, sick and nasty man. 14 killed and super fast? Wow, you are something else Rick. Another example of a horrible human being who thinks you're better than the other animals on the planet. Catching them and letting them loose away from your property in the woods would be both ideal and humane if you don't want them on your property.
I had a new driveway installed last fall. I now have a spot where chipmunks tunneled under the driveway and caused it to collapse. I've used the snap traps next to the holes without bait but find they get caught by the leg as they run by. Using bait they have to stick their head far enough in to get a quick kill.
Get a life, truly a sick SOB
Just wait till they start to chew your car wires made from soy beans because it's environmentally sound or chew up your air-conditioning tubes also made from soy. Total cost $4,000 repair.
@@NotMisterthere are ways to prevent that from happening, but you probably know that. Make sure you teach this to your kids🤣🤣🤣
@@donaldgodwin3419 if only someone prevented you from happening….karen much?
Get an education, you don't know what you're talking about.
@@Murph42000 love animals, “ Gods chosen creatures “, then the mistake, humans 😂😂
Great advice!! Very professional also.
They can just jimp right up to the feeder. They do it all the time.
I solved my problem with the poison peanuts and worms for moles. Was digging holes in my new Zeon Zoysia sod, went to war!!
I know those poison items work. I hate to recommend them, because sometimes birds-cats-dogs will get into them, unintentionally.
@@RickWolf That's my fear, I have a dog that eats everything.
100% of the time raptors are eating those poisoned rodents and becoming poisoned themselves, it's a terrible way for them to die as well
@@laceysnow4048 I appreciate your comment and agree, those poisons go directly up the food chain. The adult birds even take the dead rodents up to their nests and feed their babies. Tough detective work trying to find the "least" harmful and yet still effective.
Worked for 2 days and they are back in the feeders
Thank you Rick, I tried the better mousetrap and it works within 20 minutes. At least I got the first one that looked me straight in the eye from out of the whole this morning.
Way to go!!!!
It’s the 👀 for me.😢
