His pet mice must be so conditioned now: Hmm I smell peanut butter, what's going to happen this time?
He doesn't often peanut butter for his pet mice xD
Yeah
I think they're more scared of sun flower seed than peanut butter because most of them were wild caught and alot of his traps use sun flower seed as bait
Yea, poor mice have trap peanut butter PTSD
Hardening of their arteries...that PB IS HYDROGENATED...AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH
They ate the fourth mouse and didn't left a trace of bones or hair, that's pretty amazing and scary
I was thinking Shawn had removed anything left because of YT's rules.
No blood either
let's not learn recycling from those three. They have seen Soylent Green.
Is what ima do to you if you don't say "Duckys Rule"
that's why he nicknamed them Donner, Lecter, and Hannibal
PS. Maybe the 4th mouse that got eaten we could call “Gonner”, just to go along with Donner.
Lol ha ha ha. It’s 4 am I’m rolling on the floor in stitches
Doug Alexander it’s really weird how Gonner got eaten
cowman well they where a gonner the moment they fell on the trap
Dinner works too xD
Maybe Tartar
If someone told me I would lose an hour of time today watching mouse trap videos, I'd still be laughing. Yet here I am, 10 videos in and still going. Not sure why but these videos are so entertaining. Appreciate your honesty and integrity as well. Keep up the great work
i'm the same! whats going on with my life lol

It's a trap
Shawn, Decades ago my grandfather had made a large version of this trap and placed it in his barn. He used an oil barrel, wood disk, a 1x2 pivot board, and an ear of corn stuck on a nail in the center. Used to catch opossums and rats with it.
Make it a little bigger and maybe catch a Bigfoot! lol
Make a version of it and upload it. Grandpa was a smart man.
I was just about to post a comment exactly like this. I think the yt viewer "inventor" of this product may just have read about it in a dusty old popular mechanics as a child and forgotten about it.
Dude I get the feeling the big rat wanted the peanut butter but he overheard Hannibal and Lecter doing a speech as he came to the ramp and said "I'm outta here".
That is a good one.
Totally legit, these guys shipped out mine super fast, I got it yesterday, set it up in the basement, woke up this morning, and BAM, already got the mouse that’s avoided all the other traps I’ve tried.
Should i try this method?
@@emresoylu9661 yes have a look at the flip n slide trap also
@rabix2863...was it the trap displayed in this video? I ask because the links Shawn Woods provided don't have THIS trap!
It's uncanny how a vast majority of the mice see the trap, notice it's a trap, and then try to jump into the trap at a spot close to the rotating hinge for additional stability.
After 3 years of living in a trapped barn, survival of the fittest trains mice well
@@davidy22 But not well enough!! Suckkaaaa!
This is a perfect example of a, "duh, why didn't I think of that design!"
I enjoyed the mice names!
Hannibal and Lecter.
Thank you for being kind. Thank you for releasing them. Thank you for being so compassionate. Loved your video and the trap
I had a brown mouse scurry by me while I was in my garage. Thanks to you I knew just what to cobble together with what I had available. I made a makeshift plank bucket and with some patience and PB I got the little guy. Thanks for being such a great source of wisdom
Great trap, easy to make and if you don't want to buy the peanut butter cups, just velcrow a bottle cap to the center and fill with bait.
5:44 Well, they did have to poop out a third of that fourth mouse each...
That's a whole lotta foul.
True but foul.
True
They probably didn't divide it evenly. The strongest one (Lecter) ate most of it.
LMAO
Interesting that cannibalism do happen among mouse. I wonder how they decide which one to eat.
I know I'm late to the party but I like this trap so I made some for the farm. I wanted to use what I had so I used plastic gallon jug caps to hold the bait and 5 gallon paint stir sticks for ramps. The sticks are 21" long and free at most paint supply stores. The traps work really well and simple to make. Hope this helps
Who else watches this even though they don't have a mouse problem
You mean a mouse problem that they don't know about yet?
Kinda wish I did just so I can try some I mean my face lit up when my co worker mentioned seeing a mouse
2 raccoons moved into the space between my trailer insulation and floorboards. but i'm mouse free!!
@@pennise facts
@@jackcharles9624 ooooooohhhhhhh so you watch this so you can be prepared
I think you are one of the best! I really enjoy the tone of your voice and you're way of testing all the traps - well presented!
Eyeglasses Shawn Woods is a handsome Shawn Woods.
Agreed
In the thumb nail he looks like hulk from endgame
Yhea for all of your responses
He looks just like Superman! Cute hair too!
Lol
Rat: *exists* Shawn Woods viewer: HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
Designers : so how many different bucket mouse trap designs do you want?
The World: YES!
As a homeowner and a single woman I Love your videos PLEASE keep them coming!
Almost spit out my coffee when you said "Donner".
One slight modification put the plate in the middle of a bigger bucket not on top of it . This forces the animal to jump in and instantly looses its balance
9:27 lol raccoon scratching his butt
👍🏼👍🏼👍
Dry hump
hump the trunk?
lol I was hoping i wasn't the only person that saw that.
Anal scent glands. They mark their territory.
The log is now tagged, and says "Rocky Racoon bigAssville, stay out..."
Shawn I think I enjoy the trail cam footage more than the trapping! You’ve got a loyal viewer here!!!
It's interesting that the mice seem to realize that the part of the disc near the ramp isn't supported. Nearly all of them immediately go to the pivot point to get on. It would be interesting to add a fake support and see if the mice would step on there.
Well done Shawn, you've done really well with the channel.
Donner, Lecter, and Hannible. Haha, clever!
i don’t get the reference, Can you explain? i feel dumb lol
@@DanklingBS named the cannibal mice after two fictional cannibals and one real one
See "The Silence of the Lambs."
Ravenous
@Tommy Peterson I thought he said Dahmer, lol. Works either way.
To save a bit of money on the higher cost of the Smuckers peanut butter cups, simply use a bottle cap of some sort and attach the velco to it's bottom and use a less expensive jar of peanut butter to refill the bottle cap when needed.
THANKYOU✝️ ... 👌🤓
Shawwwwnnn! Thought you’d get a kick out of this one: I just showed my mom your channel, shes 84...and after every vid ended, she kept saying, ‘WOW!, are there any more?, jeez O Pete, he so clever!’ 🤣
So just know you have a couple of fan girls in Rhode Island! 👍🏽
Why are u trying to be like a kid
Ever watched a real trapping channel?
Chris Gilliam Man Stuff with all due respect, no. This channel is just Something I just came across with my mom- watched a bunch of his vids- she’s old & I don’t think she could rock a real trapping channel 😉
@@CherryPi314 🤣😂🤣 Understandable. 👍👍
Chris Gilliam Man Stuff Mom just turned 85 on March 10, we have to go easy on the old broad, LOL... although her nickname is ‘Betty White’, she’s flirty, sassy & foul mouthed! 🤣🤷🏼♀️
I made my own using a 5 gallon bucket, drilled holes in opposite sites of the top and ran a piece of wire through one hole, through a 16 oz water bottle and then through the opposite hole. When the mice jump from the ramp onto the bottle it rolls and dumps him in the water.
In the winter I have to use antifreeze instead of water because there is no heat in the shed.
Have you tried tootsie rolls. I have caught mice in my trap after months using the same piece of tootsie roll. It is the best bait I have ever used.
Opie Taylor finally, a use for tootsie rolls
I'm pretty sure he did. It's a video about testing different baits.
Try bacon or ground beef and the grease.
When I used Tootsie Rolls, they just turned to liquid and ran all over the wooden snap trap base and made a big mess.
Heretic.
Tootsie Rolls are the best.
When ever there is a bucket related kill trap on here I just sit back watch and make my self giggle "oh another one just kicked the bucket"
Bah-dum-bump-tss!! 🤣
In NYC , we got 2 legged rats , much harder to get rid of them.
We got them here in the prison too . Not much hard to get rid of them though.
If those two-legged rats are the kind I think you're referring to, we have a BIG one in the Capitol building that's been there since late January and he's bound to be a real nester there.
@@chlorine5795
Looks like more of those Capitol “tourists” will be joining them soon.
Shawn is like the Mr. Rogers of rodent control. He's the best.
*Shawn ,I miss the days you could say “ give it a little flip”! Great video as always*
With this trap the rodents have been pre-flipped for your convenience.
@@hughbrackett343 😆🤣😂😹😆
Shawn I am late getting to watch this video but was thrilled to see the commercials at the start and about half way through. I know that helps pay the bills. Another great video and a very simple but effective trap. Take care my friend.
The casual cannibal references were on point. Hannibal, Lector, and Dammer
No gloves?! You are a brave, BRAVE man Shawn!
I am from India and I am watching it on Tuesday 1:55 am
That's love Shawn 👍🏻
KAUSTAV MITRA same bro lol 1:56 am
I made my own trap based on this design and it works well. I had all parts I needed around the yard. Without water they jump out though.
Just add some cooking oil to bottom of bucket makes it slippery can’t get out.
Can you put the time in the videos of the mice getting caught? I'm curious how long it takes and what time are they getting caught.
Usually @ night around 1am
I might have to try this or one of your other bucket setups. I overnighted 2 of the humane catch and release traps, but last night I actually saw my nightly visitor. It’s HUGE. It might be a rat but it looks like a hamster. It’s cute. But, after watching your review of that trap, a bucket setup may work better. Thanks for the ideas!
Mouse: *Falls*
Other mouse: *Sees its friend get eaten by a bucket*
What does it learn: *Absolutely nothing*
Humans aren't much better. The effect just needs to be delayed. Otherwise there would be no drugs.
I don't know about you guys but I sang the last part.
Hi, Shawn. Nice video. Thank you for conducting this trial. Very effective trap. The number of people with 3-D printers is really growing. Glad you got such a favorable response. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA -- 3/5/2020.
I just love your videos, they are so fun to watch and you are a great host! And such a treasure it must be to live so close to nature and all those wild animals.
The trap illustrated in this video isn't the one found clicking on either link. What's up with that? Thanks for the idea though, should be easy enough to make myself. 😀
I'm actually looking for something similar but bigger for rats.
“Those mice do sure poop a lot”. Well, they did just have a big meal...
I used to have pet mice.I think that the idea is that they leave a trail of pee and feces to let the others know where they are.Hence how we know that they are in the house,somewhere.Ants do the same thing.Many creatures leave scent trails.Don't like this info,but it is how the natural world builds their version of a superhighway!
"You know what kinda animal would steal a dirty diaper? Huh? A Sh*tcat, Randy. A Sh*tcat."
Brilliant! How excited are you!
I've been trying to catch a rat in my back garden for about 3 weeks now! I've got a trap down with bait and a trail cam, tonight I've hidden the trap under grass clippings to disguise it! Fingers crossed! 🤞
Hopefully it works
I do well indoors with a Victor plastic spring rat trap, and I press peanut butter down into the bait well until it is only flush with the top. You can leave them out baited without the trap set to condition them to coming for the food, but I get them right away without that. I also just discard a trap with the rat. I don't reuse them.
I wonder if this swinging trap made for a larger bucket or small barrel, with water, would work for you. I wonder if polishing the aluminum disc or inside of the barrel with spray shortening would help. good luck!
Tell us when you catch it
@@sceard9019 I went to get the cam footage and noticed the trap had gone off! Looked at the footage and my dog had set it off sniffing the peanut butter 😡 try again tonight!
has the rat tripped the trap before and not gotten caught? Consider changing the type of bait perhaps. Smell might be a better disguise than sight.
I couldn't stop watching! 😮
4:25 they were already eating one of their own.
And here I was thinking they were just huddling for warmth 😬
@@McMickieDees They might be but two of them are on top of another one. So I'm guessing worst case for the one below the other two.
damn why would they do that
@@NiallHorange Survival. Rodents in general resort to Cannibalism quite a lot. Mother Rats, Rabbits and Mice will also eat their own babies rather than let the protein go to waste if something starts digging into their burrows.
4: 36 - 4:37.
All you need is an empty tall bucket. I know this because I use a tall bucket to empty my dehumidifier water into and sometimes there is a mouse/mice sitting at the bottom of the empty bucket .
This disguise is called the "Clark Kent." It's so ineffective people assume it's just a similar looking person with worse eyesight and a slightly better stylist.
I got tired of various critters carrying my traps off. I glue my traps to a brick now. What's great about the bucket trap is that it doesn't need resetting. I'm going to make one. Michael
@ 11:00 *"The one comment I got in the last video... people were curious about the lumps on the backs of the mice we caught..."*
If those people had watched the entire episode, they would have heard you mention that they were bot-flies instead of asking you to repeat yourself in this video. We need a face-palm emoji. I mean why are you gonna ask questions about the last video if you didn't even bother to watch all of it?
Mice and rats LOVE peanut butter.
It makes the best bait; it's constantly giving off that unmistakable scent, and it draws them in from wide and far.
Reaching 600 videos now? That's amazing! Keep up the great content, Shaun.
Your naming scheme was brilliant!
Something to make the trap better: Put oil on the top part of the disc to make the mice slip even if they try to hold on.
I used the same trap but I used a very light cooking spray to make the surface slick and I caught over 16 mice
I don't even have problem with rodents but I still binge watch your videos. Keep up the good work.
Best channel on RUclips! Thank you so much Shawn! Blessings!
Rat: oh look food
Shawn: I'm about to end this rat dinner
Also Rat: Oh, it's that Shawn's trap again. I guess I'll look somewhere else.
@@xdragon2k
Shawn will make a ratatui next time XD
The rat wasn't caught. These were mice. Big difference.
@@xuscbs calm down buddy it's just a joke relax
@@tookanarrowtotheknee9945 - I'm cool, and I liked the joke, I was just pointing out there's a big difference between mice and rats. Just hate to see them confused with each other. Rats are much bigger, much smarter than mice, much more difficult to catch, and there are different types of rats too.
For mouse, rat, and squirrel bait, a mixture of peanut butter, raisins, and oats (plain, not flavored) works really well. Don't be surprised if you attract skunks, raccoons and bobcats too.
7:58 Dang thats a big chonk
Lets name the cat chonky
agreed
Thanks who invented this device . Bravo
its too bad youtube censors youtubers that create educational quality content
Charles Corper : It’s too bad, but I understand how it happens. I don’t object to the mousetrap demonstrations, but what if someone were killing animals just for fun and posting sick videos? A few people can ruin things for everyone.
We all love your channel. Every relative I show becomes an avid watcher, and some immediately try to build something they saw on your channel.
The best mouse bait for catching mice in your home is whatever you are cooking for dinner in the kitchen. They have been hanging out smelling that food cook. When you turn out the light and go to bed those mice come out looking for that food they been smelling! That is your bait.
Hahahaha you made me laugh so hard, Shawn. Such a nice thumbnail. hahahaha
I love how the title and thumbnail say that it works as if nothing you ever try works
I had a huge mouse problem a few years ago. I put a bucket in the hallway, half full of water with sunflower seeds floating on the water. For about five nights I would find several drowned mice. I can't remember for sure how many, but it seems like it was as many as 14 one night. This worked great for about five nights, then it didn't work any more. Did they figure it out and then warn their buddies. I still had mice, but the mouse trap didn't work any more. Maybe mice are smarter than we think.
Interesting to hear. Anyone could comment on that?
More scientific point of view?
In Ausralia we get plauges of mice. 200 litre metal drums with similar tilt plate would be filled in an hour or less. we had 30 drums but had to resort to poison as there were so many mice. Other trap for lesser numbers. plastic bucket length of thin dowell 3 plastic cotton reels middle with peanut butter. reels spin and in they go or they get pushed by those behind.
What would a cat want with dirty diapers? I cant imagine a cat would eat human waste.
Some cats like that weird plastic-y texture. Had a cat obsessed with licking pictures once. They are just weird little fur friends
If babies are breastfed their poop smells like sour milk. I bet that is tempting to cats.
@@snaplash have a taste. Once you pop u cant stop tho
@@snaplash HAHA. thats from pringles. Pringles is a good name for a dog.
StarlightEater: There may be something to your theory. One of my cats likes to lick plastic grocery bags- empty ones. She doesn’t eat the bags or chew them; she just licks them.
My grandfather told me about how when he was a boy, they would bury barrels it in the woods with the same mechanism to trap beavers and sell their pelts for some summer money
Shawn I want to see a boar trap/hog trap style trap but for rats. floating cage that drops over a whole bunch of rats!
Third pet mouse: "You violated my tiny trust"
These types of traps need to have a break-away function so it feels stable initially, then all of a sudden, drops. This is especially true for rats which are much more cautious. My walk-the-plank trap has a small magnet that holds it until they get out to the end.
Smart! How did you gauge how strong of a magnet you'd need? Or did you even think about that before throwing any ole magnet on there?
@@danielnelson4881 just a mini magnet, aslong as it isnt strong enough to hold the mouse's weight.
Great video. I’ve mixed half a cup of flour w/ half a cup of baking soda and thus far the mice are eating it. I’ve not seen any new droppings do it’s hopefully working.
Love these videos
I would like to see how these purchased traps compare to using a 5 gallon bucket with water half way up and with sunflower seeds floating on top and a ramp up.Ive had great success with this. I have purchased two of the traps you've shownostly because I've thought they were inovative and I'm always looking for a better mouse trap
Thanks for the idea!
how do you keep sunflower seeds from sinking?
Awesome video, keep em coming really enjoy waiting for your next trap. Take care
That's a really interesting trap
You have a new fan. My cat, Robbie, watched this video didn't miss a single second of it.
Love the names! Quite clever lol!
Lmao was not expecting the cannibalism 💀💀💀
5:10 I see no signs of a 4th mouse. They devoured it. I had no idea that mice eat mice.
If you were a mouse i'd eat you🐁🦅
Yeah, now I don't feel bad about killing them. A bunch of vicious cannibals.
Rats eat mice too. If that rat got in that bucket it would have feasted on the mice. Or gotten out
It is a mouse eat mouse world you know
I had a bunch of mice in met garage getting into the dog food. After catching a couple the others were fighting to eat the dead mice instead. I'm not sure there is a humane way to live trap a mouse. they either eat each other or you move them and something else eats them.
You have by FAR the most helpful pets!
LOL your pet mice shat themselves when they fell into the bucket.
They only do that when they are falling into buckets and when they are not.
I will put the glue stickers on the bottom so they will not escape.
also, it would be cool to make more of these scaled up to use the big round rubbermaid trash cans. Or are rats too smart for all of these dunking/spinning log type traps?
They are. I don't think this would catch any rats.
I wonder if a big one would work with an opossum.
He did that for squirrels/rats once
@@xuscbs Shawn put a large "walk the plank" trap in a big trashcan and caught rats with it. I bet a scaled-up version of this trap would work.
Maybe the glue thing not so good, if you want to give them names and let them go, haha, it's all good, congrats on over 1M subscribers great job!!!
I hate to tell, once you feed a stray cat, it is now your cat. 😁
Thank for the video that was funny to see how they tried to hold on and slid right down, but I had an idea about how to keep them from getting out, put down glue traps at the bottom surface of bucket, so that when they do hit the bottom, they become stuck and cannot move
I went and purchased one of these. I'm hoping they work for rats, because that's mainly our problem. We live right on a bluff that is totally infested. I could have made this myself but probably would have spent an hour and the same amount of money on components. Also, I really like the design and wanted to support the designer!
Does it work?
This trap is perfectly balanced... as all things should be.
maybe grease the edges with peanut oil
Agree
Or put a puddle of it on the bottom, just enough to get their feet oiled up.
And alternatively if you want to kill them, a little penut oil on the surface of the water, can exhaust them quicker and make their deaths about 2-3 minutes quicker. So they don't have to suffer as long.
Not fun for mouse in there with that rat.
(05:08) Say whaaaaaaaat!
I thought it was a rat-mouse predatory thingy that was commonplace. Now we have mouse cannibalism happening within friggin' a single night.
They eat anything. Nasty creatures.
I was legit shook when I hear that, totally unexpected.
No, shaun discovered rats eat mice normally - stealing them from his trap. Both eat both if trapped. Seems rats follow mice as they hunt them it seems?
Have rat try catch and poison for months soo smart can't catch.
