      @@Handle...This. Hello... watch the very ending of this video... there's that hole that the wire was sticking into, that that mouse started immediately biting at... I don't even think it would take an hour for one to get out that way, a few minutes at most, because most mice can get themselves through a hole that is only about 1/2" in diameter, or about the diameter of the end of your pinky finger! (I know because I've seen it quite a few times over the years with my very own eyes, and I grew up living in the country, where mice were everywhere, so I speak from experience with dealing with them.)

    The trap retainer should be on the opposite side of the opening. As you can see, the rat was sniffing around it, because it's above the opening. The rat may accidentally set off the retainer while still outside the trap.

    If you don't do something right away about it being stuck in there, it will chew a hole and get out easily. Rats can also chew through some metals, brick or uncured concrete, let alone wood. You can find all this info online.

    That's fantastic. The only way that trap could potentially be any better is when you burrow a bottle shaped hole in the ground and place the trap inside, while the entry hole faces upward. In this case the rat will be more eager to crawl inside of it because it is on ground level and it doesn't have to stretch upwards to get to the peanut.

When the critter steps on the plate close to the edge, the plate and critter fall into the can. The walls of the can are smooth so it cant climb out. I then released it far in the field.

    I like watching other types of mouse traps that are actually successful. On the same time I would not want to deal with a live mouse or rat after catching one. I bought the Victor electric rat trap. They have cheaper ones with only AA batteries which can’t be taken apart to clean up a mess. So I searched RUclips and saw one that took 4”D” batteries, with the option to add another battery pack. The 4 AA battery one will kill 20 rats or 100 mice. I found a nice 4 “C” battery Victor rat trap at Home Depot and I have had great success with it. It sends you a notification to your phone once it has caught a rodent. The roof slides off with easy access to clean their mess. It has a cupboard door that opens up, on the bait trap end, to put peanut butter in it. On my first morning it had 3 dead mice laying on top of each other, over the electric pad. Four hours later I caught another one. This one with the 4 “C” batteries will kill 100 rats or 300 mice before running dead. The 4 “D” battery rat trap, with the extra battery pack, is suppose to last for a year.

      Rats a known to chew almost thru anything even metal and since that hole was big I'm guessing it's a breathing hole and he will let it go in the woods if it hadn't chewed its way out which it's a good possibility. Also you can see how cautious that rat was they are smart so probably wouldn't catch another if that rat put a warning scent in it to faint for us to smell.or see so even if he washed it it's hard to get rid of that smell so probably have to keep making fresh ones, same thing when using this mouse traps that snap their neck and kills them that scent will be all over it and warning the others not to go near it!

    If it takes this long for your pet rat to take the bait I doubt a wild one would ever come near it, and as others said, a wild rat would chew out of it in a few seconds. How do I know it's your pet? You threw it at the trap at one point (comes skidding in from the left), you panned your camera while watching it, and it is daytime.

    @caribbeanman3379 Год назад +2

    But how is this supposed to trap the rat long enough for you to get it - wouldn't it just bite its way out of the bottle? If a rat got trapped in the middle of the night while you're asleep, it would surely free itself long before you wake up. If there was a way alert you when the trap activates so you can dispose of the rat before it escapes, then good. Or maybe design a method of killing the rat when the trap shuts, before it has time to escape. What if the trap was somehow on the cusp of a relatively deep vessel of water like a bucket and you designed it to fall into the bucket and sink when it shuts? That way the rat will drown before it has time to escape.

    very ingenuous . but if you watch right there at the end Mr fat rat was all ready working on a escape plan by gnawing away at the bait hole .

      @stduserid 4 года назад +4

      Yes, a rat would probably gnaw it's way out of that thin bottle in 10-15 minutes

    My rat trap's name is Pumpkin because of his orange colored fur. We found him homeless when he was a kitten. His best night was 10 rats and three mice he stacks them up at the barn door. At lest the ones he doesn't eat first. We don't feed him and he keeps getting bigger and fatter. I figure he works for food. He's the best trap ever.

    Ohh he was sniffing out the entire perimeter & then came back to sniff once more before going in lol. Smart little creatures they are!

    So i had lived in a farmhouse that was literally in a farmers field... and the house had mice in the basement...at first i got the regular traps they worked ,then i saw the no kill little cubical trap were the peanut butter would be at the back of the trap,the mouse would walk in go to the back and the trap would rock forward and voilà the trap would shut. ... they worked great and if i hadn't of been working for a week straight,. away from the farm I'd get back to empty the half rotten soak in their own pee dead mice from the no kill traps...😬 it has been a number of years since then but i remember even when i made it back earlier like in a couple of days ,they'd still be dead. My boss told me about the 5 gallon pail of water with the pop bottle at the top through a wire so it rotates and peanut butter on it...that worked the best.👍👍👍

    So how long does it take the rodent to chew its way out ?

  • @ocianaigh1
    @ocianaigh1 4 года назад +4

    Try as I might I can't get the bottle to cut the way you show. I tried tapping it with the same type of tool shown but it just won't work.

  • @thelatiosmaster
    @thelatiosmaster Год назад +3

    The concept is good, but there are some problems about how effective it could be.
    Rats can chew through plastic bottles like nothing, so unless you are really quick it can just break out it.
    Plus since this is a live catching trap there is a chance that the rat gets hurted like having its tail cutted.

    • @reasoningtruth
      @reasoningtruth Год назад +1

      @thelatiosmaster, if the rat is hurted hopping trap cutted off it's head. Then he wont feeler it a lot much.

      thats real true....I found plastic food jars in my kitchen with 1 in. diameter holes all chewed up.... I used to shoot rats with a pellet gun but the outcome was noisy as they would cry a piercing scream once shot!

    • @ericcarlson3746
      @ericcarlson3746 Год назад

      i guess you'd need to check constantly, then have a tub of water to toss the bottle and rat

  • @Silent-instigator

  • @johnnyboy13642
    @johnnyboy13642 Год назад +17

    And he begins to chew through the bottle immediately and is out in 5 minutes.

    • @olavimuff
      @olavimuff Год назад

      That's true. And in summary, it's a rather ineffective trap. If you want to get mouse alive I think its much better to get metallic cage, add door and platform. Door will close when mouse step on platform or something like that.
      And the environment should be less dangerous through the eyes of a mouse.

    • @Acorn0005
      @Acorn0005 Год назад +1

      The issue is that the trap design gives them a starting point to chew at the hole. If the mouse is in a bottle with no perforations or edges then they can't get a tooth on the smooth plastic. If you stand up a case of empty plastic soda bottles with no caps and out it in your shed or garage, the mice will climb down the throat of the bottle to get the sweet soda droplets left in the bottle bottom (if they are small mice) and get trapped in the bottle. They can't get a purchase on the smooth plastic to climb out, and they can't bite into the smooth plastic.

    9:07 the mouse decides to give it a try 😆

    Could a mouse eat his way out of that container, as he seemed to have started doing when the video ended.

  • @mptr1783
    @mptr1783 Год назад +5

    I woulda made the hole opposite where the wire is since he almost looked like he was going to trigger it sniffing at it outside the bottle

  • @EnigmaticAnomaly

    Be easier just buying a snap trap. Lot of work went into constructing something that rat is simply going to chew it's way out of within a few minutes.

  • @ShadowHawk4219

    i've seen many vids on ways to trap these critters. City mice are a cut above, they don't fall for conventional spring loaded traps, sticky pads,etc.I was a tech in NYC and one day, up on the 76th floor in the World Trade Center, i saw glue traps under the raised computer floor. The operator told me they had some of the critters up there and would chew on some wires, a big no no with mainframe connections in the computer room. They sure as hell didn't get on the elevators and press the button, likely just climbed on the miles of cables or were somehow brought up in boxes from the loading dock area. I applaud the different ways people devise to get rid of them, some might work depending on the rodent's IQ, but i still think the best way is to figure out how the hell they got in the house in the first place and take the steps to seal it up.

    Shotgun blast for the final scene, but then I suppose you would ruin the trap, but well worth it all the same. Brilliant !!

    • @terryzabon333
      @terryzabon333 3 года назад

      Nah, we just release down by the river. Its cleaner, easier, and reuse the trap. Plus, we like to respect our neighbors peace and quiet and not annoy them with a loud shotgun blast noise.

  • @christyinthecarolinas
    @christyinthecarolinas 3 года назад +6

    People don't realize that rats are expedientially harder to trap than mice. Rats avoid almost everything and have to be baited and tricked most times. They're too smart for their own good (and ours) 😂😂!

  • @dandeleona4760
    @dandeleona4760 3 года назад +3

    I wondered about the size of the hole on top since rats are experts at finding egress and then chewing it wide enough to wriggle out. I wonder if a very limited length slot would be better since the hole would encourage the rat to put its nose through and get to work on its escape.
    I like the trap tho. I'm wondering if I could rig something similar for rabbits since predators get to them before I visit my traps. (Survival food, not amusements) :)
