Instead of trapping in a bottle that tips over, replace the bottle with a walkway that leads to the bait, except the mouse never gets to the bait because as it walks towards it the mouse's weight trips a trap door in the floor of the walkway, causing the mouse to fall into a bucket of water below it. Once that's happened, the trap door closes again, ready for the next mouse. The mouse in the bucket won't be able to get out because the bucket has enough water in it to prevent the mouse from having a firm surface to jump from to reach the edge of the bucket. Forcing it to swim non-stop once it's trapped will also tire the mouse out and eventually it will drown. With this method you don't lose the bait because the mouse never reaches it, and it self-resets to catch more than one mouse, so all you need to do is empty the mice out of the trap once a week.
take a stray cat, feed it a mouse then starve it for a day. put the cat in the bucket and the mouse trip the trapdoor, drops into the cats mouth Tom and Jerry style.
+DarkKokiri86 OK, so instead you have a movement sensor that starts a chicken wire conveyor system that lowers into the bucket, scoops up the dead bodies and transports them straight into a small blast furnace. Or don't bother with the water at all and a 90 degree pipe goes straight into the fire instead.
Awesome idea ! as a boy my papaw gave me a very large rat trap , I mean it could break a finger powerful. I'd set it in the old chicken house to catch mountain rats. the rats would be so big from eating corn that even that giant trap couldn't kill some of them. so I modified it by putting drywall screws up through the bottom ! so when they tripped it wham it would cram screws up through their head. I know it's kinda gross but rats eat corn you pay for, get in your house and destroy it spread disease. so killing them is the best thing.
I arranged a simple little trap at work a few years ago. I taped a piece of paper a couple of inches long to the end of a 3 ft long cardboard tube and placed a dab of peanut butter on the end of the paper. I laid the opposite end of the tube on the floor where the mouse would run and rested the papered end on the edge of a metal wastebasket. An hour or so later, there was a thump. Mousey had run into the tube heading for the peanut butter. He ran out on the paper gangplank which of course quickly folded under his weight, and down he went into the wastebin. It was a simple matter to transfer him to a smaller container in the morning at the end of shift and drop him off at a park on the way home.
+marcel “MaMoKe” vandaar Dick move.... Drowning is a horrible way to die no matter if it's people or animals. If you've ever come close to drowning you'd know how terrifying it is.
Riley Schmidt guess I care more about the kids not sticking stuff in their mouth that has rat urine all over it. it's all well and good when it's a little mouse, a large rat.. less so, 20 rats who are walking through the crib you baby is sleeping in... let's see how long you think so :)
marcel vandaar There are more humane traps such as deadfall, spring loaded snappers or a catch and release system. I stand by what I said, drowning is horrible.
"and drop him off at a park on the way home." Whereupon, he makes his way into someone else's, or your home again, to threaten them with disease and damage. Thanks for that.
I think the reason that this works better is because the bottle is wider. The other trap was narrow enough that the mouse could jump to the top and then use his feet to push itself out, but in the new trap the mouse can't really get a foothold. See its back legs at 5:40.
I do 'catch and release' too... got 13 last winter... it's just that they never seem to be moving when I let them go...probably something to do with that big wire across their necks...
Awesome design and effective at catching one mouse, like a standard snap trap. With far less labor and materials, a bucket, a wire and a bottle, you can catch many mice in one night. I set one out and caught eleven mice and four huge rats in one night.
Tip: Make the hole through the cap just large enough to fit a mouse head. Any bigger and they will escape. You'll have to play around with this. (approx the thickness of a finger)
You have to transport them quite a bit for the mice to be someone elses problem. Why don't you just gass them. An inert gas heavier than air. They don't feel a thing.
I had made something similar to this year ago using a steel can from a pepper can, the way it closed there was a steel door that blocked the mouse. I used it for years until it fell apart. Nice system you worked out. And mice are smart little animals.
Wow; that was really interesting, the way that mouse was able to jump up there. That's what I call a strong survival instinct with the ability to employ it. Great stuff.
+Flapjackbatter You aren't kidding. Housecats are some of the best hunters on the Earth. i saw a National Geograpbic video that basically said if you live in a neighborhood where there are other cats who go outside, they can lierally wipe clean an area of any animals a cat can take on.
Yes. It is believed that humans struck up a friendship with cats as early as when we started to grow and store grain. The cats followed the vermin so to speak.
+Flapjackbatter thaTs cool i never thought about it that way. like everyone knows how and why wolves started hanging around humans, easier to have someone feed you than you trying to feed yourself. but cats its kinda the same. thats neat
Try putting a bit of talcum powder in the trap, and shaking it to coat the inside of the trap. Even insects slide on the talc coated plastic. Nice design.
How do you kill the mouse after catching it? If it was in a bag, you could stamp on it or club it. But I can't see how you kill it in the bottle - maybe drown it?
I like the magnet idea. Instead of a bottle, us a plastic rod or slat. Have it sticking out over a bucket of water, and use the same hinge and magnet trick to keep the rod/slat extended until the mouse reaches the end where you can stick the bait (use peanut butter so it won't fall off with the mouse. If you find a perfect combination of magnet strength and fulcrum point on the rod/slat, you might even be able to get it to automatically reset when the mouse falls off.
the originality of this trap is worth congratulating. it's irrelevant whether there's a cheaper method or not; i just love the innovation. it would be great to extend the idea to catch more than just one mouse for the whole evening
wood mice (deer mice) are too sturdy for normal spring traps I find - we had an infestation problem some years ago in our holiday cottage and basically the trap went on an hourly basis for 3 days and nights running but many of the mice were far from dead and I had to kill them by hand which was horrible because they have the cutest little faces and the eyes looked at me .. in fact the eyes still look at me now, I will probably never get them out of my head for as long as I live :(
+chris1000 couple years ago we had a mouse problem and my pop left sticky traps around the kitchen this one particular little mousie got stuck on two traps, his lower body on one and his face was stuck on the other I was trying to figure out how to get him off the trap so I can release his little furry ass but as I tried pulling the trap, some of his skin from his face tore off and stayed stuck to the adhesive. he was still alive so of course I had to kill him. needless to say I never slept the same again.
All we get here is field mice. You should not get so attached to them, they are of course the cause of most plagues. Trust me, after you get sick you won't look at them the same..
ken karish I think you are confusing them with rats - rats carry diseases that can affect humans, and the rats' fleas carry the plague - yet mice are not known to harbour any diseases dangerous to humans.
You sound like that Sicko on the Green Mile Movie and that huge Blackman,brought it back to life,too bad that Fella.s losted its Owner dued to Electric Chair.Maybe you should tried it,maybe you can be roasteing Marshmellows,Hows That.
RatDaddy3 > the Green Mile The first time I saw the scene when the hero doesn't put water on the sponge I belly-laughed out loud so hard. What a funny scene. Good times.
very creative for sure! I discovered something very simple that works... a tall 5 gallon bucket from home depot. That's it. They get in but are not able to jump high enough to get out, oh yeah, put some water in the bottom so that they keep their feet wet, or if you are bit more morbid enough to swim in but can't get a base to jump from.
On your first design, try glueing really strong magnets to the underside so the mouse would have to be Arnold Schwarzenegger to get out. I found out last week I might have unwanted guests. But because I don’t have the patience for one of you great builds I bought a catchmaster humane. I set it out this morning and came home to an unwanted tenant. He’ll be released elsewhere tomorrow. Cheers from Canader eh!
Mice and rats damage Houses, gardens, and crops. Therefor we humans never really liked them. Dogs and Cats helped Humans and look where they are today.
you are joking right? they are way over populated! they eat crops, and become huge infestations. Civilization will come to an end with people like you.
so if you lived in a house infested with rats, would you let them spread disease and bacteria throughout your house? Or would you kill them so they don't hurt other people?
I made a mouse trap accidentally, and it will kill them too. I was working on my truck and I had a 5 gallon bucket that I drained my antifreeze into (dexcool if that matters) and left it overnight next to a countertop. After a couple days I came back to find about 10 mice had jumped into it and drowned. The bucket was barely about a couple inches full, maybe less. I have no idea how they didn't get out.
This is a great concept. We wouldn't actually need it though as Tom sorts out Jerry for sure. I know this because he likes to show Mummy his catch of the day, I've recently learnt that he is showing me to hunt, look this is how you do so why aren't you!
nice here a little tip to upgrade it.. two metal prongs in each side of the bottle and connect wire to 12 volt car battery with a switch and put it some water so the prongs are below the water so when the mouse fall into the water he get a shock and as he cannot get out he keeps on falling back into the water and keeps on getting and electric shock.. after a while he die and then to switch it off throw the mouse away and load it up again for the next one..
get a 5 gallon bucket , make some kind of ramp to the top fill it up half way put some peanut butter along the walls on the inside about 3/4 the way up , mice go to the top of the bucket and fall in and have no way back out. best mouse/rat trap in the world. with the one he has mice can chew through the plastic bottle pretty easy.
On your other tilting mouse trap, you can add a strong magnet to the lip of the bottle that will hold it down covering the hole once titled forward. You can add counter-weights to the back side to bring it back in balance. The strong magnet will keep the bottle down so that another mouse cannot climb the bottle releasing the first one and any mouse inside will have a more difficult time trying to lift the bottle to escape by clawing on the block. You can use two magnets of opposite poles to give great holding strength once tripped.
just take a trash can, place a 2x4 or something equivalent for a ramp. use a another small piece of wood balanced above the middle of the top. The mouse walks out for the food and the balanced piece of wood falls out from under it. The sides of the trash can will be large enough to keep it from jumping out. really simple, really effective.
I know you have a million comments but I still wanted to tell you that I subscribed to you because the quality of your audio was spot-on, and I said to myself I have to subscribe to him because it sounds so Crystal clear, I love it!
We're in New Zealand so maybe the rodents are different, but we tried everything on the market and what we found was that the mice seemed hesitant to crawl into tight spaces. They found a way around them or just avoided the ones that looked dodgy. Nothing worked at all till we bought a cage trap and we caught 5 mice and 2 rats in a short time. Nothing escaped and they couldn't find a way around them. The cages are large enough for the mouse/rat to confidently stride into and the mechanism worked perfectly.
You could have a bracket from the upright beam to a piece of wood (like a diving board) that would cover the hole in the bottle once the trap is sprung. This would mean that the hole could be any size without any problems.
I have made this kind of traps but they always escape biting the plastic bottle. Just a tiny whole and they're free to go. Also made the second kind of trap and the mouse was smart enough to use its teeth against the blocking wood and managed to move the plastic bottle up to scape (did it several times)
You should add some vegetable oil or something else into the bottle, this should in effect 'lubricate' their feet making it impossible for them to climb out then you can feed them to your pet snake... Or let them go if you want to....
Awesome idea, but remember they have rubber grip feet. You might want to grease your bottle also. They will then just slide down the plastic container.
I have a trap where you take a round stick/dowel and put it through a pop can and then put it through bucket. Well you put the first end in the bucket then through the pop can and then through other end of bucket. Then you put peanut butter on each end of pop can. Put coolant at the bottom of bucket because it has a sweet smell so it won't deter the mice but kills them quickly. When the mice walk on the dowel and reach for the peanut butter the can spins and they fall in the coolant. Bait is always reset and always has butter it. I have caught 20 mice before in one night in a shed.
Going to put this in my yard around my house. I get voles, moles and field mice. I keep the snakes in the summer to deal with them. In ther winter the battle begins. We have an indoor one that they go in and a high shock of electricity gets them. Love it. You only know when the red light is blinking.
To stop the mouse from attempting to jump, Take some straight pins and cut them and glue them to the cap so when they try to escape, the sharp pins poke into the skin of the mouse.
you are so smart ! you make me laughing whole night ! very genious invention ! creative ! and lot of fun in your design ! thanks lot for your uploaded video !
If you make an upside down L shape piece from wood and install to one side so that when the bottle falls down it covers the top of the bottle, you can skip the cap and small opening.
simple upgrade to stop any escapes ... 3/4 of the way up the side put in a slot almost the full width if the side. .. insert very thin flexible flat plastic on an angle downwards .. 1/4" inch clearance from the sides and make it just long enough to leave about a 1 1/2" gap when the trap is "set" ... mouse can climb in and walk to end and once trap flips a direct jump to the lid would be impossible and provided the plastic is thin enough they won't be able to climb it either
I thought I would let you know that mice can flatten themselves as thin as a dime. Their skeletal system is very flexible. I was in my basement one day and heard a frantic scratching at the window. When I inspected further I found a mouse that had flattened itself so flat that it was halfway inside my window and half outside. You would think that it wasn't possible but my Aunt had told me about it years before and I was really glad I was there to witness it. I would suggest you use a three liter pepsi bottle and as the other person suggested make that hole tiny with the spikes. I really believe that you will have increased your chances by 50%. A little chicken wire barbed on your plastic barbs might also help. Thank you for the GREAT idea I am living in the country and of course there is that thing called nature and I'm a little bit of clean freak so I'm trying a lot of non-toxic ideas. Thanks again!!! Happy New Year
A mouse would chew right through that bottle if you don't dispense of it quickly. I had one chew its way out of a store-bought "humane" trap, and even had a mouse chew through the bottom of a "hidden kill" trap's heavy plastic to get to the bait without getting killed. Best solution I've found is a paper plate over a 5-gallon bucket with a few inches of water at the bottom. It kills the mice (which I'm not fond of), but it's really the only option if you don't want to live along side them in peace.
The bucket is popular and no doubt effective. I've still never had a mouse chew through a bottle and I've tried many different bottles and caught many mice.
A snap trap in only more humane until it snaps onto the back half of the mouse and the thing bleeds to death out of its anus before dying three hours later. (I've seen this happen, and it's why I stopped using them.)
An 1/8 inch of cooking oil in the bottom of the bottle and no more jumping. There is a better version which is a multiple catch and also eliminates the escape problem.
Dude, you are like the Bob Ross of humane mouse traps. On another note, I conceived and manifested a non violent mouse trap that I will not try and explain, but while I kept count, over several years of using it, I caught over 275 mice. I gave up on it once my place became overran with mice and very unhealthy to live in. My mom used dryer sheets in her dresser drawers and such to repel them and it works as long as the dryer sheets hold a strong smell. One thing I learned in my many years of catching and observing mice is that they have miraculous abilities that extend even to what I would call supernatural. I have a few key stories but I will not bother typing them all out here. I will just say that I have seen mice do things that seem impossible and break certain so called laws of physics and such.
Dumba**, why did you ever let the mice multiply until you were living in THEIR house? Obviously YOUR trap didn't work! You just turned them loose to come right back.
might i suggest you use caps with holes and hot glue where you used just hot glue, and drill a couple of drain holes in the bottom for the rain.Nice work.
I also forgot to mention in my last post, really humane as well. If a few "idiots" post a negative comment for no reason, you must simply laugh at THEIR stupidity! Posting rudely for no reason other than their own lack of intelligence, usually hiding behind an Avatar as well. I only use my own given name...... Really good solutions such as yours, are usually simple, once all the complicated methods have been exhausted. Your mouse trap is a perfect example!! Don't let the "dummies" get you down!! regards Andy
I made some improvements again on this design! Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/MEsuj6KUN38/видео.html

won't it smell nasty doe?

That's a horrible way to go and would smell and bring in whole kinds of
predators. A quick death would be better.

Make the bottom of the bottle cone shapped. Centered, Offset, or Inverted, to move their jumping surface 'out of alignement' with the opening.

Victor has been making simple mouse traps that really work for over a hundred years. A little peanut butter and SNAP! No escapes.
Too easy...no fun! 😊
Why not simply add a piece of wood exactly above where the top of the bottle is once it got tripped, so that it blocks the opening?

Wtf... I would have bet some good money that a fucking mouse could never perform a jump like that... it shows, I am not a mice expert :P
you'd be surprised by how high they can jump.
Yeah, They can jump A lot further then that bottles is tall. A Lot further.....
I saw a very surprised mouse jumped two feet high.
I have seen a mouse climb up the side of my house. The brick is very porous.

Very innovative design! Thanks for sharing!
Im gonna call this guy "Johnny whispers". You can't hardly hear him haha.
Get a better headset then, heard him clear as through mine.
I paid $250 for these, so i'd say they're good. And I checked with the beats as well...so I stand by my original statement.
Snakedoctor O'Reilly than u wasted 220$ 30-$ for a fine one :)
haha I guess so. Then again, they were a gift so I think im ok lol.
very creative for sure! I discovered something very simple that works... a tall 5 gallon bucket from home depot. That's it. They get in but are not able to jump high enough to get out, oh yeah, put some water in the bottom so that they keep their feet wet, or if you are bit more morbid enough to swim in but can't get a base to jump from.
I tried that too but without success. You can check my mouse trap competition video with that trap. ruclips.net/video/8JbZSgJrCmg/видео.html
Since the mouse cannot get back out through the cap, why bother with the intricate design?
Just lay the bottle on its side.
Seriously? I suspect it's lots harder to escape through a hole in the ceiling than a hole in the wall.
that's a pretty neat idea. I could imagine multiple ones set up to catch them all.
Please let it out!
fuck u
fuzzy wuzzy Charming.
Mice need to be destroid. The mouse dont feel bad when it gets in your house and shits on your silverware
Yeah they dont feel bad when they stain your stuff... so EQUALY you shouldnt feel bad to "destroid" them. What a human being.
+Petr Novák Taking a wild guess that you have never had a problem with mice before.
The world will beat a path to your door! Good design.
poor mouses
better than bleeding to death with broken bones caught in a conventional mouse trap...
"Mouses"? Because "Mice" Wasn't good enough.
- JonTron
+Mikail Elchanovanich I agree, your design is humane.
What do you do with the mice you catch?
that's the choice of whomever catches them, personally i would relocate them to the woods or similarly remote place away from built up areas.
mice
the cap reminds me of those carnivorous pitcher plants. good job
On your first design, try glueing really strong magnets to the underside so the mouse would have to be Arnold Schwarzenegger to get out. I found out last week I might have unwanted guests. But because I don’t have the patience for one of you great builds I bought a catchmaster humane. I set it out this morning and came home to an unwanted tenant. He’ll be released elsewhere tomorrow. Cheers from Canader eh!
I would poison the food in the bottle. If the mouse should escape, at least it would die later.
It's a good thing you are speaking softly so as not to scare the mice.
leave the mice alone. maybe you ought to be trapped
Mice and rats damage Houses, gardens, and crops. Therefor we humans never really liked them. Dogs and Cats helped Humans and look where they are today.
My cat is a mouse and mole bounty hunter.
you are joking right? they are way over populated! they eat crops, and become huge infestations.
Civilization will come to an end with people like you.
They bring disease and death - you go first, as you seem to be up for the Darwin award.
so if you lived in a house infested with rats, would you let them spread disease and bacteria throughout your house? Or would you kill them so they don't hurt other people?
I made a mouse trap accidentally, and it will kill them too. I was working on my truck and I had a 5 gallon bucket that I drained my antifreeze into (dexcool if that matters) and left it overnight next to a countertop. After a couple days I came back to find about 10 mice had jumped into it and drowned. The bucket was barely about a couple inches full, maybe less. I have no idea how they didn't get out.
This is a great concept. We wouldn't actually need it though as Tom sorts out Jerry for sure. I know this because he likes to show Mummy his catch of the day, I've recently learnt that he is showing me to hunt, look this is how you do so why aren't you!
nice here a little tip to upgrade it.. two metal prongs in each side of the bottle and connect wire to 12 volt car battery with a switch and put it some water so the prongs are below the water so when the mouse fall into the water he get a shock and as he cannot get out he keeps on falling back into the water and keeps on getting and electric shock.. after a while he die and then to switch it off throw the mouse away and load it up again for the next one..
get a 5 gallon bucket , make some kind of ramp to the top fill it up half way put some peanut butter along the walls on the inside about 3/4 the way up , mice go to the top of the bucket and fall in and have no way back out. best mouse/rat trap in the world. with the one he has mice can chew through the plastic bottle pretty easy.
U must represent mouse trapping in national geographic with urs sweet humble voice...
Wow, thanks.
Put a little bit of oil in there too, it will keep them from jumping and climbing out
On your other tilting mouse trap, you can add a strong magnet to the lip of the bottle that will hold it down covering the hole once titled forward. You can add counter-weights to the back side to bring it back in balance. The strong magnet will keep the bottle down so that another mouse cannot climb the bottle releasing the first one and any mouse inside will have a more difficult time trying to lift the bottle to escape by clawing on the block. You can use two magnets of opposite poles to give great holding strength once tripped.
Good feedback. I did something similar to what you proposed here: ruclips.net/video/VbIk0k4JkVo/видео.html
just take a trash can, place a 2x4 or something equivalent for a ramp. use a another small piece of wood balanced above the middle of the top. The mouse walks out for the food and the balanced piece of wood falls out from under it. The sides of the trash can will be large enough to keep it from jumping out. really simple, really effective.
I know you have a million comments but I still wanted to tell you that I subscribed to you because the quality of your audio was spot-on, and I said to myself I have to subscribe to him because it sounds so Crystal clear, I love it!
Welcome !!!
We're in New Zealand so maybe the rodents are different, but we tried everything on the market and what we found was that the mice seemed hesitant to crawl into tight spaces. They found a way around them or just avoided the ones that looked dodgy. Nothing worked at all till we bought a cage trap and we caught 5 mice and 2 rats in a short time. Nothing escaped and they couldn't find a way around them. The cages are large enough for the mouse/rat to confidently stride into and the mechanism worked perfectly.
This should be a PBS special...Mr. Rogers building a mousetrap... "Can you say mousetrap? Sure, I knew you could"
You could have a bracket from the upright beam to a piece of wood (like a diving board) that would cover the hole in the bottle once the trap is sprung. This would mean that the hole could be any size without any problems.
Fantastic improvement to the earlier design. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
I have made this kind of traps but they always escape biting the plastic bottle. Just a tiny whole and they're free to go. Also made the second kind of trap and the mouse was smart enough to use its teeth against the blocking wood and managed to move the plastic bottle up to scape (did it several times)
You should add some vegetable oil or something else into the bottle, this should in effect 'lubricate' their feet making it impossible for them to climb out then you can feed them to your pet snake... Or let them go if you want to....
Wish I could be this calm and intelligent.
Clever and well made. you built the better live trap.
Enjoyed your narration as well as your clever mouse trap. up up up up up up, ide ide ide ide ide ide...LOL
Thanks for keeping it interesting!
Awesome idea, but remember they have rubber grip feet. You might want to grease your bottle also. They will then just slide down the plastic container.
I have a trap where you take a round stick/dowel and put it through a pop can and then put it through bucket. Well you put the first end in the bucket then through the pop can and then through other end of bucket. Then you put peanut butter on each end of pop can. Put coolant at the bottom of bucket because it has a sweet smell so it won't deter the mice but kills them quickly. When the mice walk on the dowel and reach for the peanut butter the can spins and they fall in the coolant. Bait is always reset and always has butter it. I have caught 20 mice before in one night in a shed.
I am surprised no one is giving you Hades for being cruel to animals. Good job Ladybug Adventures
Going to put this in my yard around my house. I get voles, moles and field mice. I keep the snakes in the summer to deal with them. In ther winter the battle begins. We have an indoor one that they go in and a high shock of electricity gets them. Love it. You only know when the red light is blinking.
Great music. The mice can jam out while hanging in the trap.
2017 and man is still battling against the formidable mouse/ rat!
To stop the mouse from attempting to jump, Take some straight pins and cut them and glue them to the cap so when they try to escape, the sharp pins poke into the skin of the mouse.
you are so smart ! you make me laughing whole night ! very genious invention ! creative ! and lot of fun in your design ! thanks lot for your uploaded video !
SUN NETOR Thanks for your generous compliments!
Glue the magnets on the cover/opening (underneath) on the lay down style trap,
That way it will be locked after he tries to get out
If you make an upside down L shape piece from wood and install to one side so that when the bottle falls down it covers the top of the bottle, you can skip the cap and small opening.
Simple, laid back genius.
🐞
simple upgrade to stop any escapes ... 3/4 of the way up the side put in a slot almost the full width if the side. .. insert very thin flexible flat plastic on an angle downwards .. 1/4" inch clearance from the sides and make it just long enough to leave about a 1 1/2" gap when the trap is "set" ... mouse can climb in and walk to end and once trap flips a direct jump to the lid would be impossible and provided the plastic is thin enough they won't be able to climb it either
Really great! I'll try it. As hamad suggest, probably adding some oil in the bottle so their fingers will get very slipy.
I thought I would let you know that mice can flatten themselves as thin as a dime. Their skeletal system is very flexible. I was in my basement one day and heard a frantic scratching at the window. When I inspected further I found a mouse that had flattened itself so flat that it was halfway inside my window and half outside. You would think that it wasn't possible but my Aunt had told me about it years before and I was really glad I was there to witness it. I would suggest you use a three liter pepsi bottle and as the other person suggested make that hole tiny with the spikes. I really believe that you will have increased your chances by 50%. A little chicken wire barbed on your plastic barbs might also help. Thank you for the GREAT idea I am living in the country and of course there is that thing called nature and I'm a little bit of clean freak so I'm trying a lot of non-toxic ideas. Thanks again!!! Happy New Year
A mouse would chew right through that bottle if you don't dispense of it quickly. I had one chew its way out of a store-bought "humane" trap, and even had a mouse chew through the bottom of a "hidden kill" trap's heavy plastic to get to the bait without getting killed. Best solution I've found is a paper plate over a 5-gallon bucket with a few inches of water at the bottom. It kills the mice (which I'm not fond of), but it's really the only option if you don't want to live along side them in peace.
The bucket is popular and no doubt effective. I've still never had a mouse chew through a bottle and I've tried many different bottles and caught many mice.
It's much more humane to kill them in a snap trap - it's a quick way - drowning is a very slow process for them.
A snap trap in only more humane until it snaps onto the back half of the mouse and the thing bleeds to death out of its anus before dying three hours later. (I've seen this happen, and it's why I stopped using them.)
An 1/8 inch of cooking oil in the bottom of the bottle and no more jumping. There is a better version which is a multiple catch and also eliminates the escape problem.
Dude, you are like the Bob Ross of humane mouse traps.
On another note, I conceived and manifested a non violent mouse trap that I will not try and explain, but while I kept count, over several years of using it, I caught over 275 mice. I gave up on it once my place became overran with mice and very unhealthy to live in. My mom used dryer sheets in her dresser drawers and such to repel them and it works as long as the dryer sheets hold a strong smell.
One thing I learned in my many years of catching and observing mice is that they have miraculous abilities that extend even to what I would call supernatural. I have a few key stories but I will not bother typing them all out here. I will just say that I have seen mice do things that seem impossible and break certain so called laws of physics and such.
Dumba**, why did you ever let the mice multiply until you were living in THEIR house? Obviously YOUR trap didn't work! You just turned them loose to come right back.
might i suggest you use caps with holes and hot glue where you used just hot glue, and drill a couple of drain holes in the bottom for the rain.Nice work.
Congratulations! Your video sent me to sleep tonight.
A multipurpose video! Ah, the satisfaction.
I know mice can be a nuisance, but I can't but feel respect for their capabilities.
I feel exactly the same way! They are truly amazing. Each has a personality as well. Some never give up on escape and other just sit there.
The water bucket with roller or tipping plank are friggin awesome. Kill many in one night. It's mouse mass murder. I love it.
Shawn Woods needs to feature this on mouse trap Monday.
Haha. Ask him!
Gee these mouse trap videos have given me the biggest laugh in ages :))))
very clever .Great job. nice voice too...😊
Thanks!
Thanks. You got what I was going for.
Cool.
Behold the Bob Ross of rat traps...his voice nearly put me to sleep.
I also forgot to mention in my last post, really humane as well.
If a few "idiots" post a negative comment for no reason, you must simply laugh at THEIR stupidity! Posting rudely for no reason other than their own lack of intelligence, usually hiding behind an Avatar as well. I only use my own given name......
Really good solutions such as yours, are usually simple, once all the complicated methods have been exhausted.
Your mouse trap is a perfect example!!
Don't let the "dummies" get you down!!

Andy
Thanks for your support and words of encouragement.
Attach something to act as a stationary door to the base in order to close the entry point once the bottle moves into a vertical position.
That lid: nice and shiny! 0_0 Yep, very shiny. I like it!
hey buddy, u just made my day,
it looks easy when you know how it works!
I hadn't have the same idea,
u r da man!!!
Thanks!
