I love the little dog. Its a WESTIE. I had one for many years. Her name was Olive. I just loved her and I know she loved me. That's her picture just to the left of this message. Her personality was very similar to the dog in the video. She died of old age. I made her food from scratch in small batches from a vet-approved recipe and she loved it. Anyway, good luck with your rat problem because getting rid of those nasty bastards calls for war.
What recipe? My Westie Schnauzer, Winston Churchill, is beginning to get the old man cough and I'm trying to extend his life and comfort. I've heard white rice and hamburger is very good for them.
I love westies so much I had to get one for myself, and she's a smart little girl! I don't know what I'd do without her..actually I'd probably go crazy.
Three men, all that cutting out plaster board / repairs, gas pumped into house, traps etc etc how many thousands of dollars to get rid of a couple of rats ? and then new rats will come, very expensive
@@ian-fm2xc I wonder how expensive it was paying how many companies prior to this one??? At least this crew got down to the source and got the job done.
@@ian-fm2xc how’s this company ripping off this old lady if they’re the ones that got the job done right??? In my opinion it’s the prior companies that “provided service” but obviously didn’t do it right and never corrected the problem but yet still charged the client, in this case a poor old lady, those are the scammers. Understand now??? And kindly don’t assume. 👍
You guys are awesome!! About 5-6 years ago We had a lot of rat activity in our house attic. Every night hearing rats scurrying and scratching. I got fed up and made a plan. It’s the same plan that you guys have. First, I went all around my house and found all the entry points and sealed them. Next I trimmed trees and bushes to prevent rats from going on roof. Finally, I put traps up in attic with bait-initially not set, but set them 2 nights after rats got used to eating off them. Bang!!!- got rid of all the little buggers. No more problem. Peace and quiet ever since. Thank you for what you do to bring peace back in to people’s homes.
Why was this in my feed? I do not know. I had no desire to watch it, but it started anyways. Then I didn't stop. Now, I learned a lot and am grateful I did. RUclips's choices are generally wrong but this one was right. Thanks for all the great info.
I had roof rats, not sewer rats. Paid for a pest control company to come just to do a survey, wanted to hear what they said. The advice of these “professionals” was worthless. I learned much more watching your channel and ended up trapping a bunch inside my attic and outside my house. Finally got rid of them once and for all when I cut down and stump ground a big bamboo hedge in my yard. Nowhere for the buggers to forage and hide anymore. 😂 thanks!! 🎉
I had an identical problem and rented Indiana Jones The Dial of Diarrhea on Amazon Video and played it over and over 24/7 and after 48 hours all the rats had left the premises never to return.
@@saintniccage2818 So what do you mean? Buy super expensive directors After years of inflation to make 1⁄5 on a final movie of Indiana Jones with some feminist BS in order to get the rats out? That's all I'm understanding
From 5:07 to 5:19: Carpenter help. With your sheetrock saw, cut horizontally until you reach the 2x3 or 2x4 in the wall. Then cut half way across the stud. Do the same on the other side (studs are 16" apart, so this should be the length of your cut). Do the same thing on your top line. Then, take a straight edge, usually a level, and draw two vertical lines to make a box. Then, using a sheetrock knife, not your sheetrock saw, cut the vertical lines on the studs. The sheetrock that you remove can then be expertly reattached with three sheetrock nails per corner (12 nails in all), one hammered into the stud from the reattached sheetrock, one hammered an inch away, into the stud, from the walled sheetrock, and one hammered an inch above that one, on the walled sheetrock, about half an inch to an inch away from the reinstalled piece. Three nails per corner, all into studs, before trimming 1/8" of the exposed area with the sheetrock knife, then pasting and taping.🙂
Studs are 16in on center. Older houses may be 24in on center. So even outside edge to outside edge would only be 17.5in not 18in. Walls are built using either 2x4s or 2x6s.
In modern day sheetrock screws are used not nails. Hopefully the toilet wasn’t attached so the painter can move it to paint behind the toilet. Or likely this plumbing company is going to return to reset the toilet after the painter is finished.
@jasoningram2006 also 2x4's are 1.5" x 3.5". If you have an old enough house they used 2x's which were rough cut at 2", air drying you would loose about a 1/4" plus or minus.
I don't have a rat problem, but mice are a fact of life in the mountains. For years I endured the frustration of mice cleaning the traps without triggering them. Peanut butter they just licked off. Cheese squished into the bait holder plate was often still removed. Then I started using a hot glue gun and gluing a piece of dry dogfood to the bait plate. Life changing! For me and the mice. Now when a mouse gets in my house, it is dead within a few hours of entering.
I stick several glue boards together and secure to the floor or whatever. These supposedly have a pheromone to attract mice but sometimes I give them a little more help with a peanut , and a bag of first strike bait containing an anticoagulant is tossed/ stuck to the middle of the boards. What the traps do not get, the bait does. If I hear a mouse struggling, I do not wait to dispose/ drown it because so many times the mouse would eat its way out off of the board, even eating off a limb if necessary. After I read that mice have very poor eyesight, and that they tend to follow along where the vertical meets the horizontal, placing the traps at those corners upped the catch rate. And it seemed like when one was caught, a second would soon be caught, too. Sunflower seed for birds had been kept in sacks in the garage and attracted mice big time. So, the seed was placed in 33 gal plastic garbage containers outside, but found that squirrels could eat through the plastic in less than a minute. Storing the sunflower seed inside a metal garbage can solved the squirrel problem and reduced the number of mice, too. The squirrels were not happy and keep pissing on the metal lid, but that does not help them get any sunflower seed.
As long as it doesn't get too hot, I would recommend part of a tootsie roll on the trap, smeared with peanut butter. After they get the peanut butter off, when they try to tug at the tootsie roll, the trap is far more likely to spring.
This guy and his team were fabulous. They did a real pro thorough job and were so sweet talking to and informing the lady customer. Absolute gents, everyone of them
As a plumber who take pride in his work and owns his own company, much respect my friend. I’d hire this company without hesitation. You guys clearly know your shit.
What are you talking about?? I didn’t disagree with your statement but suggested I need to rewatch in order to agree or disagree. If you think my comment was jumping at you, you’re about as soft as they come my child.
Apparently, anyone can put out a "shingle" and claim to get rid of rats. And have no proof that they ever solved one of these problems. Great job, you guys, for both exposing these shysters and showing the proper way to get rid of rats. I used to have a problem around a cabin with occasional rats and just used a ramp, half a 5 gallon bucket of water and a little bait to trap of them. They never get away, so they never get smarter.
I don't care who you are. If you will go somewhere and try to get rid of rats you're a great person and if you fail sometimes you're still a great person. It's because these guys take on some super tough places doesn't mean that the guy who won many times and lost there is a bad person. I don't think these guys were as good on the first day as they are now.
The bucket traps I head are really good for catching mice and rats. I had only issue with a rat. It was a huge river rat that had come into my house. That thing was the size of a small rabbit and made so many holes in my walls to travel from room to room in the 4 days of having that thing enter our home. Finally caught her and I was very thankful as I had babies and didn’t want that thing biting one of my kids if it had ended up heading to the upper levels of the house. Thankfully we got it before it left the basement level.
I have been fighting with some Norway Rats in a rental house I have in the Bronx for about 3 weeks now. Your videos have help me get a handle of the problem. First I located an entry point. Really hoping there isn’t any more entry points. Next I put access panels in the areas where I hear them walking on the ceiling so I can leave baited glue traps. Then finally I left Wi-Fi cameras to monitor the entry point I fixed for any more coming in, monitor the glue traps, and track how many are still inside. All in all excluding my time and paying a contractor to install the panels it’s cost way less than an exterminator who might not have fixed the entry point.
Those CCTV type probes have become quite affordable too. The kind plumbers or mechanics use work great. You can plug some right into your phone. That way you can take a look inside a wall before opening it up. Imagine opening up a wall and having a nest of rats come pouring out 😂
My house was from the 60's with horrible addons and gaping holes literally all over the house along with settling and new cracks adding themselves makes for a neverending slumlife. Big feels to ya! Good luck on your journey of bettering things around your place!
Hi guys, l love your video's, l love all of you. You guys are amazing & the care & love you give to the elderly touchs my heart. Keep the rat dance going l love it. Get all thoses infected rats..🐀🐁🐀🐁 that puppy is so cute & so happy to see you.. ❤😂Dave & Jim your the best.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hey guys love your content! I’ve learned so much from watching your videos these past few months. I seen your RatVac product which looks amazing! However I went onto your website to purchase one & couldn’t find it on there, figured you’s might have sold out. I was wondering when they’ll be back on your page so I can buy one? Thanks again for all the tips & tricks & I look forward to hearing back from you’s!
I love that you really did help this nice lady. 3 out of 4 tradesmen will take advantage of trusting and/or elderly customers. (It’s true) But the worst part of all is not only did they take her money, she suffered in her own home for three years because of the first three hacks.
Happen to run across your video by accident. Your service is top notch from what I just watched. The investigation, the demo,repair, cleanup thumbs up to all of it!
I dont have a rat problem but the video had me glued. Being a homeowner I couldn't skip this video. Any info about rats is worth it. Great video and the ending is hilarious 🤣😂🤣😂 👍🏾
The film clips are hilarious. Well done gentleman. Thank you for helping this woman. She seems extremely stressed out. You didn’t make huge holes in her walls; you prepped it well for a professional painter to come in and not have it cost her too much money in addition to the rat extraction expenses. I feel awful that she was misled about her house. Let’s just say that I, too, was very misled about a 2 year old expensive home in Arizona so I understand the frustration of being conned into thinking that the house has/had no issues. My issue is not rats but insects. My skin crawls just thinking about it. It was never mentioned during the sale nor in the full home inspection that we paid for. 3 years later and it’d not 100% contained. 🤬 Very impressed with your work!! 👏🏻👍🏻💯
Agree. Our family owns & loves terriers. They have huge personalities, are intelligent, fun/funny & super loving. They are also natural ratters. This girl, Stella is a West Highland Terrier aka a Westie.
We had the same problem in our first home situated right beside a creek, I lived in the country and had never encountered sewer rats until I moved into town . We plugged the entrance hole and put traps out I caught so many rats they looked like small beavers . Thankfully we did get rid of them.
The more I watch this guy the better I like him and when he said you got the wrong company he didn't say that they couldn't do the job somewhere he just talked that they were over match for what you have. Love is videos great guy there's room for people that just do good exclusion work and don't want to tear into your walls. Anybody that's fighting rats is against a real tough opponent so don't knock them. I hope I don't need anybody of this guy's caliber at getting rid of rats.
Man this channel is SO educational. THANK YOU!!!! We have a crazy and complicated situation (100 year old townhouse in an old city, with weird DIY addons and a connected property owned by a terrible slumlord). Im going to be studying your videos like it's my damn job! In addition to rats in the lower back of the rhe house, the slum lord has attracted a host of squirrels and raccoons to the shared attics. We knew about the squirrels forever and had excluded them from our side for a while.... Recently hadn't seen all the squirrels going in and our of slumlord's attic and wondered why (it's not like he repaired the roof, there are still gaping holes in the front and back).... Until one night I woke up to the screams of a baby raccoon being murdered by a big male raccoon in the yard, and the mother frantically trying to evacuate her other babies from the attic..... Which explains why all the squirrels had noped the hell out of the attic in the first place. Fun! 🙃😫
Love your commitment to do the job right! We have sewer rats that for the time being seem to be confined to the bathroom vent stack. I am concerned one day they will breach the pipes. I ordered a back flow valve to have installed, but made the mistake of getting a ‘normally open’ valve. I’ll try again to get the right one, but I understand the valve is just plastic and the rats could chew thru that too! In one of your videos you added some wire mesh. Can you do a detailed video on that? I’m afraid adding the mesh might interfere with it closing properly?
Very impressive. Reminds me of a share house I lived in when very young… it had so many mice and rats in it that we started a tally to see who could catch the most… a little image of a rats head went on the score board for each catch… we gave up around 70 if I recall, and finally called the local council as we heard they’d come for free if there was an infestation (& there was)… I recall lying in bed hearing them scratching some much right behind my head behind the wall, I was too scared to sleep in case they broke through… we all left soon after and the house was demolished…
Coming from a rural / desert location, we have several kinds of mice... Some are so sneaky / delicate that they can lick the peanut butter off a trap without setting it off... The is, until you wrap the peanut butter in thread and they catch their teeth on the thread. No idea if there is any benefit for much larger rats, just thought it was interesting that we got 100% effectiveness out of peanut butter and thread for the kinds of critters we see here. That extra cover and mount on the rat trap is pretty genious!
Rats have destroyed my house twice I had two questions tell me that I brought it on by taking a psychic development of course SMH God doesn't do things like that! Praise God Amen
We didn't have rats, but we had mice. We finally found out mid 2022 that they were getting in through the poorly installed open sewer pipe that the HVAC system the previous owner got installed was dripping condensation into. We went through at least half a dozen possible routes until we stopped seeing new ones in the traps. So essentially we had an open way for mice to crawl in from the sewers for over 7 years that we've been in the house. During the holidays in 2021 while we were at my in-law's for a couple weeks, the mice found their way into our bedroom and my toddler son's nursery. We had found 3 that were either hiding or snuck into the main floors. We had one hiding in my nightstand, we physically hunted it down in middle of the night for several hours, and we got a grab of the tired and not as agile mouse with a grabber extension at which point we took it outside and smashed it with a deck brush. The second one was trapped in a snap trap in the laundry room where it was last sighted but was still alive; I was so angry about them destroying my childhood plushes that I broke the deck brush finishing this one up. The third one showed up in our living room and the chase pretty much went like the first, but we finished it off while it was resting between cardboard boxes by smashing the boxes together at the neck. We had so much to clean up after, and we're still not completely done cleaning up the entire aftermath dealing between being in middle of renovating my in-laws' bathroom and taking care of our special needs son. To this day I still semi-regularly get nightmares that has to do with rodent infestations.
Jesus that's awful. Idk if you have cats, but that has made a huge difference for us, at least in preventing pests from getting into the home. We have two indoor guys and they catch EVERYTHING foolish enough to come inside, it's great. We just try not to let them eat anything in case it's been poisoned by a neighbor. (Seen too many cases of owls dying from eating poisoned mice to take that risk.) We obviously got them as companions, not for pest control, but boy is it a nice bonus to our friendship!
I've been having rats in my house for 5 years. I got a two-story house built. The first night rats came out. The builder didn't help me. I've had 5 exterminator companies and no success. I told them I heard them in the wall and they acted like I was crazy. I hired a handyman. We took off the siding and found holes in the foundation all around the house. I took pictures and showed them to the builder. He told me to send them to him so he can remind his guys not to make those mistakes. Nothing about helping me. I continue working on my house to fix the rat problem. It has caused me anxiety, nightmares, and panic attacks also I'm a disabled veteran.
I rented a place when I was in college. Mouse ran over my head while I was sleeping. That upset me and caused a sequence of events that resulted in injured and ultimately killed mice. I have to say the best thing is stopping them from wanting to come in and preventing them from entering. Sad to kill a mouse stuck in your trap with a broken leg. Cutest I'd ever seen. But it had to go.
My trick for the large spring traps is to screw them to a plank no wider than the trap itself. Then elevate the end of the board that the wacker is on. The rodents only can approach from one direction, (If they can come from the wrong direction the spring can shove them clear of the trap). I also tie a string to the trigger and coat it well with peanut butter. They can lick a trigger clean but will tug on the string which will set it off.
Great work, as usual, guys. Yes, if you find a rat trap which has been recently sprung and there's fresh blood on the trap, there's virtually always a dead rat nearby. And often there will be no blood, but still you'll find a dead rat within a few meters of the trap. The rat only needs the Victor trap's kill-arm to glance off its head and that's enough to fatally injure the rat, even though the trap may not hold the rat and the rat may stagger some distance from the trap before dropping. That's why you Twins have fitted your traps with serrated edges around the bait hood, and why I fit my rat traps with 3 - 4 sharp nails in front of the bait hood, to help hold the trapped rat on the trap. I trust that you fitted wire mesh over that breached vent pipe where it exited the roof.
WOW that must be the words record for the longest 10 seconds!!! It lasted DAYS and was long enuf for minor home demolition and repair!!! So fast and so easy. I bet you could build an entire house in about 60 seconds!!! Great work!
The snap traps work fine. You have to put the peanut butter under side of the bait plate. They get their head under it in order to get at the peanut butter and because of the angle they're at they cant move fast enough when they set the trap off. This is an awesome video! Your a professional and great content creator.
I remember during civil engineering associates degree when I were in a 1km+ long subsurface canal system called the arroyo de monterroso, seeing huge sewer rats crawling in and out the lateral lines ahead in the darkness, darkness all around except for the torch beam. They’d stay well ahead but I remember seeing one about as large as a cat which would scare most people. The system served a large amount of surface area so plenty of food from the rats, anywhere from fruit fallen in from the catch basins, tomato or other plants growing (discharged from the regulators of the sanitary sewer system and also eels that live in the central fluid channel if they were really desperate..
nice to see results. I had one come in by chewing next to an electrical wire going to a outside garage , caught them on video first , then MONSTER rat traps. 5 in total out of the house and the hole was sealed . No more issues ! Vac trap is cool !
I have the same issue in my apt. Been living there a year. They've been in the walls about 9 months. I was told it was a "brand new" apartment. I was an employee at the time (boiler tech) and had to explain how the incomplete the apt was before moving in. I explicitly expressed my concerns about rats. I was assured the apt was rodent free and sealed up. I can't explain the headache it's been since
I'm lucky. I've poisoned wall rats and they left. No sewer rats yet. I open the wall and bait them. For some reason it works. They leave the next day. They come back in about eight years later. I use gopher bait, not rat poison. You guys do a great job and show up the other ratters out there. You have good tools
Pest control, HVAC, cleaning, handymen, mechanics. The service companies where too many of them see you as a paycheck. This is a great guide even to show to a trusted handyman if you can't do the work.
I love this guy. @16:52 He starts talking about the rat vac and his voice trembles because he's so excited and impressed by the product. That's someone you can trust. Dude who runs a business and is legit interested in all aspects of his work to the point of it almost being a hobby. He clearly has a man VS Rodent attitude, and all he's thinking is about the win. Good for him, good for the homeowner and at the end of the day, great for his company. First time I've even heard of this channel but I was entertained by the stories and all the knowledge. All the explanations etc. Sub'd right away. Who knew when youtube started that we'd be choosing our own programming and a channel about removing wall rats would be on our list lol.
I made a vacuum mousetrap. I noted they had tunnels in the snow that went through the neighborhood. It starts with a motion detector switch, the kind that turn on your light when you walk in the room, the wet vac plugged in. Set for minimum 3 minutes. The tube runs to a little box with peanut butter treats and the motion detector just before the treat. I was surprised how often it turned on. Looking inside there were many mice. The next day though was gruesome. I found all-you-can-eat poison just doesn't seem to work, especially if they won't eat it. Sticky traps along their highways with blockage directing their Crossing directly over it, sticky traps are very effective.
Sir, you are awesome in every sense of the word. Also, I was impressed by your sense of compassion for the one live rat in the vacuum. I had mouse problems in my garage and originally set out the age-old snap traps which worked great. But then one day I found a dead chipmunk in one and another time a mouse that was clamped down on its back end and was still alive. That honestly broke my heart and ever since that time, I have been using live traps. The one Harbor Freight sells is excellent and those I catch, I release out in the woods. Also, I have three indoor cats and some years back my male caught and killed a mouse in the night. I was so proud of him. I sealed all around my house and have not had a single mouse in years now.
They actually did all the REAL exclusion work in that wall space and that broken pipe. Then new rats can not come in and the others can’t get out as well. *Then they got 3 in the rat vac and 1 in the ceiling crawl space.* There may have been more rats in the wall space. In other videos, they leave traps for several days. Nothing was mentioned here.but I bet they did that as well.
Great video, but how about the motion/sensor switch for the shop vac?? You need to make a video for how you made that. Unless you’re trying to patent it to sell it 🤔🤔
You're a hero for real. I left my last apartment because of rat issues. It's not something you can always live with. I was getting bit by rat mites on a daily basis. It's so hard to deal with. My landlord and I tried our best, but it wasn't getting better.
I got rats in my attic. I had a septic system, not a sewer. I used traps and they came back! I called a pest control company…they used poison. The rats came back. I went around the house and covered all my screen soffits in quarter inch hardware cloth and used poison again. They came back. I finally found where they were getting in…a retrofit that had added the central ac to the house had a pvc pipe running from the outside unit into the attic. I found some pipe wrap they had chewed. Closed that up, one more round of poison, and FINALLY was done with them. I so feel for that lady!
TWINS for the WIN! Great video. What do you use, to smoke a house? When I search for a fogger I see the ones for mosquitos, is that the same thing. I got a vertical 3-family building, i think a smoker would be useful
@@TwinHomeExperts@jshbbrt, I would (did) go to one of the big box stores and buy one of their cheap ($30) wet vac. and then go to the fireworks store and buy a case of 2 minute smoke bombs. Put the hose on the blow side of the wet vac. Blow the smoke down into the main vent stack like you did. If I got smoke in one of the rooms, I would take a plumbers snake camera and drop it into the vent stack to find the breach. If you use this method very long you will burn up the wet vac motor with the smoke bombs (use the paper and or foam filters that come with it, takes longer to burn up the motor). After lighting the fuse, hold the smoke stick in your hand , don't drop it in the vac. It could start a fire. wear a glove on the hand with the smoke stick, or hold it with pliers, it can get warm. I didn't have the expensive equipment you had, but it works. I've been retired for 7 years now and love your videos. Keep up the great work!
I'm a huge fan of the electric mouse and rat traps. No blood mess from triggered but escaped rodent, easy disposal and fool proof rearm. Keep them baited year round and be vigilant.
As a plumber I am very curious to know how common it is for mice to eat through that 3" abs drain vent. Also, I noticed that pipe appeared to have been cut prior to the mouse making the hole. Is this correct?
@@BlondieHappyGuy I agree. But the homeowner said she had that bathroom redone recently so that makes sense. The plumber didn't install a coupling, the mice knew to chew at that pipe-gap to get to the other side. Funny thing is that sewer gases should have been smelled all that time. This usually prompts a call for a plumber to investigate. And the problem would have been solved by a plumber.
You guys are so informative and having fun no matter the job is key. I hate having to dispatch critters but in the city why waste time these guys create havoc and seriously destroy our homes
Hey Twins have a good end of weekend, I was just wondering if you used the blocker from the sewer ( I don't know the name) I've seen you using that before, the one which blocks the entry from the main sewer line, would that solve the problem as well? Keep posting your videos is really entertaining, cheers from Brazil
Great question! Yes, installing a back flow valve ( rodent blocker) on the main sewer pipe will solve the issue. Thanks for watching our channel all the way from Brazil 🇧🇷! 🙏🙏
I had a cat that caught a mouse once, but he seemed a little... confused regarding the assignment, shall we say. Came up to the entire family with the live mouse in his mouth, kicking and squealing the whole way. The cat had the proudest looking expression, almost like he was saying "I caught one! ... ...Now what do I do?" Before trusting a cat to take care of mice, make sure they aren't embarrassments to their genus.
Read this whole message if you are mature enough to handle it. Contains violent descriptions. I know somebody who has a few chickens at their house which sits on a big wooded lot. They had motion activated cameras mounted at various places on the property for security and to keep an eye on the chickens, which were actually pet chickens. Camera activity was recorded on a machine capable of playback. One night a big racoon came onto the property and caught their favorite little chicken whos name I can't remember and proceeded to rip it apart and eat the whole thing while sitting right in front of one of the cameras! The lesson learned, for me anyway, is no matter how tempted you may be, don't eat the chickens unless you know where all the cameras are, and if you have cameras you might want to set up an audible alarm so you actually know something is happening requiring your intervention and so you never have to watch a video like that. Thanks for allowing me to share this horrible story with you. It may save a life.

I love the little dog. Its a WESTIE. I had one for many years. Her name was Olive. I just loved her and I know she loved me. That's her picture just to the left of this message. Her personality was very similar to the dog in the video. She died of old age. I made her food from scratch in small batches from a vet-approved recipe and she loved it. Anyway, good luck with your rat problem because getting rid of those nasty bastards calls for war.
What recipe?
My Westie Schnauzer, Winston Churchill, is beginning to get the old man cough and I'm trying to extend his life and comfort.
I've heard white rice and hamburger is very good for them.
Yes, adorable little fur baby!
I love westies so much I had to get one for myself, and she's a smart little girl! I don't know what I'd do without her..actually I'd probably go crazy.

You guys are awesome!! About 5-6 years ago We had a lot of rat activity in our house attic. Every night hearing rats scurrying and scratching. I got fed up and made a plan. It’s the same plan that you guys have. First, I went all around my house and found all the entry points and sealed them. Next I trimmed trees and bushes to prevent rats from going on roof. Finally, I put traps up in attic with bait-initially not set, but set them 2 nights after rats got used to eating off them. Bang!!!- got rid of all the little buggers. No more problem. Peace and quiet ever since. Thank you for what you do to bring peace back in to people’s homes.
This what your typical pest control company does minus trimming the trees and bushes. Rats can climb wires and stucco
Very true. Also, like Twin Home Experts say- you must do the exclusion after you find all the entry points. It’s just plain common sense.
Agree, this guy as a jet. He knows how to do the job right
That is a great idea, letting them get used to eating off of it.
Can you show us the rat dance that you did😅😅
I have never seen anyone do so much to get rid of them. And you take stuff down and nicely put back up.
Such detail!
the home owner is such a sweet and soft spoken person. impressive as always twins!
She was absolutely amazing to work with!! We did this job months ago, she just text us to say how happy she is now that her home is rat free!
She was very clear about where the rats had been.
Does the rat vac work for squirrels as well as rats?
Why was this in my feed? I do not know. I had no desire to watch it, but it started anyways. Then I didn't stop. Now, I learned a lot and am grateful I did. RUclips's choices are generally wrong but this one was right. Thanks for all the great info.
Because Alex Jones wasn't.
Same here….crazy stuff on my feed but I watch it anyway lol fascinating.
😂 same. What in the world 😂
I had roof rats, not sewer rats. Paid for a pest control company to come just to do a survey, wanted to hear what they said. The advice of these “professionals” was worthless. I learned much more watching your channel and ended up trapping a bunch inside my attic and outside my house. Finally got rid of them once and for all when I cut down and stump ground a big bamboo hedge in my yard. Nowhere for the buggers to forage and hide anymore. 😂 thanks!! 🎉
I had an identical problem and rented Indiana Jones The Dial of Diarrhea on Amazon Video and played it over and over 24/7 and after 48 hours all the rats had left the premises never to return.
@@stephanparis6887😂😂😂
You learned watching this guy? He says you need to buy super expensive traps rather than get a cat or remove the food source that the rats come for.
Yeah, but what do you do to get rid of cats in your walls?@@saintniccage2818
@@saintniccage2818 So what do you mean? Buy super expensive directors After years of inflation to make 1⁄5 on a final movie of Indiana Jones with some feminist BS in order to get the rats out? That's all I'm understanding
From 5:07 to 5:19: Carpenter help. With your sheetrock saw, cut horizontally until you reach the 2x3 or 2x4 in the wall. Then cut half way across the stud. Do the same on the other side (studs are 16" apart, so this should be the length of your cut). Do the same thing on your top line. Then, take a straight edge, usually a level, and draw two vertical lines to make a box. Then, using a sheetrock knife, not your sheetrock saw, cut the vertical lines on the studs. The sheetrock that you remove can then be expertly reattached with three sheetrock nails per corner (12 nails in all), one hammered into the stud from the reattached sheetrock, one hammered an inch away, into the stud, from the walled sheetrock, and one hammered an inch above that one, on the walled sheetrock, about half an inch to an inch away from the reinstalled piece. Three nails per corner, all into studs, before trimming 1/8" of the exposed area with the sheetrock knife, then pasting and taping.🙂
Yep
Studs are 16in on center. Older houses may be 24in on center. So even outside edge to outside edge would only be 17.5in not 18in. Walls are built using either 2x4s or 2x6s.
In modern day sheetrock screws are used not nails. Hopefully the toilet wasn’t attached so the painter can move it to paint behind the toilet. Or likely this plumbing company is going to return to reset the toilet after the painter is finished.
@jasoningram2006 also 2x4's are 1.5" x 3.5". If you have an old enough house they used 2x's which were rough cut at 2", air drying you would loose about a 1/4" plus or minus.
In what country are studs typically placed at 18"? Standard in the US is 16" on center unless dealing with a really old house.
I don't have a rat problem, but mice are a fact of life in the mountains. For years I endured the frustration of mice cleaning the traps without triggering them. Peanut butter they just licked off. Cheese squished into the bait holder plate was often still removed. Then I started using a hot glue gun and gluing a piece of dry dogfood to the bait plate. Life changing! For me and the mice. Now when a mouse gets in my house, it is dead within a few hours of entering.
Thank you for the hot glue tip!
And one thing country mice love is indeed dog food. 😊 great tip. 👍🏻😎
I stick several glue boards together and secure to the floor or whatever. These supposedly have a pheromone to attract mice but sometimes I give them a little more help with a peanut , and a bag of first strike bait containing an anticoagulant is tossed/ stuck to the middle of the boards. What the traps do not get, the bait does. If I hear a mouse struggling, I do not wait to dispose/ drown it because so many times the mouse would eat its way out off of the board, even eating off a limb if necessary. After I read that mice have very poor eyesight, and that they tend to follow along where the vertical meets the horizontal, placing the traps at those corners upped the catch rate. And it seemed like when one was caught, a second would soon be caught, too.
Sunflower seed for birds had been kept in sacks in the garage and attracted mice big time. So, the seed was placed in 33 gal plastic garbage containers outside, but found that squirrels could eat through the plastic in less than a minute. Storing the sunflower seed inside a metal garbage can solved the squirrel problem and reduced the number of mice, too. The squirrels were not happy and keep pissing on the metal lid, but that does not help them get any sunflower seed.
@@somaday2595 Those squirrels are smart!
As long as it doesn't get too hot, I would recommend part of a tootsie roll on the trap, smeared with peanut butter. After they get the peanut butter off, when they try to tug at the tootsie roll, the trap is far more likely to spring.
This guy and his team were fabulous. They did a real pro thorough job and were so sweet talking to and informing the lady customer. Absolute gents, everyone of them
As a plumber who take pride in his work and owns his own company, much respect my friend. I’d hire this company without hesitation. You guys clearly know your shit.
Is it just me, or did it look like someone left a cut vent pipe in the wall, which a rat later came and enlarged a hole in?
Maybe. I’d have to go back and watch the video again.
This company is the real deal though. These guys clearly know their shit.
@@ggrimm79 They just didn't waste time filming when they Put Everything Back Together Again! What is WRONG with you?
@@JoeThornFreedom Down, boy. I'm not criticizing the guys who made the video.
What are you talking about?? I didn’t disagree with your statement but suggested I need to rewatch in order to agree or disagree. If you think my comment was jumping at you, you’re about as soft as they come my child.
Not one part of this 21 minute video showed anything done in 10 seconds lol
I'm guessing it takes 10 seconds to dial their number and then have them come deal with it!
All that for 3 mice...seriously
I hope this guy is making a fortune. Talk about adding value through a great service; kudos to you and your team, sir!😊
I guess you could say that he built a better mouse trap.
Milked it BIGLY.
How is this "less than 10 seconds"?
It involves demolishing the house!
10 seconds=2 days, + $5,000 in repairs. The new math.
Right?! 😂
ClickBait. Who is treated as rats now? (Pun intended) Did you watch the whole video as I did? I enjoyed it though, it did educate me about sewer rats.
Smoke showed the whole 10 seconds after it pumped I guess haha
Apparently, anyone can put out a "shingle" and claim to get rid of rats. And have no proof that they ever solved one of these problems.
Great job, you guys, for both exposing these shysters and showing the proper way to get rid of rats.
I used to have a problem around a cabin with occasional rats and just used a ramp, half a 5 gallon bucket of water and a little bait to trap of them. They never get away, so they never get smarter.
Please show how the drywall is repaired again.
I don't care who you are. If you will go somewhere and try to get rid of rats you're a great person and if you fail sometimes you're still a great person. It's because these guys take on some super tough places doesn't mean that the guy who won many times and lost there is a bad person. I don't think these guys were as good on the first day as they are now.
The bucket traps I head are really good for catching mice and rats. I had only issue with a rat. It was a huge river rat that had come into my house. That thing was the size of a small rabbit and made so many holes in my walls to travel from room to room in the 4 days of having that thing enter our home. Finally caught her and I was very thankful as I had babies and didn’t want that thing biting one of my kids if it had ended up heading to the upper levels of the house. Thankfully we got it before it left the basement level.
I have been fighting with some Norway Rats in a rental house I have in the Bronx for about 3 weeks now. Your videos have help me get a handle of the problem. First I located an entry point. Really hoping there isn’t any more entry points. Next I put access panels in the areas where I hear them walking on the ceiling so I can leave baited glue traps. Then finally I left Wi-Fi cameras to monitor the entry point I fixed for any more coming in, monitor the glue traps, and track how many are still inside. All in all excluding my time and paying a contractor to install the panels it’s cost way less than an exterminator who might not have fixed the entry point.
Rats in The Bronx love attention and social media. Keep recording them my friend
Those CCTV type probes have become quite affordable too. The kind plumbers or mechanics use work great. You can plug some right into your phone. That way you can take a look inside a wall before opening it up. Imagine opening up a wall and having a nest of rats come pouring out 😂
My house was from the 60's with horrible addons and gaping holes literally all over the house along with settling and new cracks adding themselves makes for a neverending slumlife.
Big feels to ya! Good luck on your journey of bettering things around your place!
Happy Saturday everyone! Hope you liked this episode and the bait box rat dance 🕺🏻! 🙏❤️

The Rat Dance was awesome!
That was a fun Dance 🕺🏼🕺🏼I did enjoy it 😊
Hey guys love your content! I’ve learned so much from watching your videos these past few months. I seen your RatVac product which looks amazing! However I went onto your website to purchase one & couldn’t find it on there, figured you’s might have sold out. I was wondering when they’ll be back on your page so I can buy one?
Thanks again for all the tips & tricks & I look forward to hearing back from you’s!
Gotta love a little rat-hunting terrier! That dog was ready for action!
We had a mouse problem and the cats would sit where they heard mice for hours. Was a real help in finding the mouse hideouts.
Yes he was so ready! 😅❤
On the farm (UK) we used Jack Russells - fantastic ratters!
I've learned a lot watching you guys video. I have no more rats in our home in the Philippines! 😊
Wow!!! Appreciate you sharing this. Say hello to the people of the Philippines 🇵🇭 🤩🕺🏻
LOL, I looked up this video as I was explaining how I dealt with storm drain rat situation in the Philippines. Mabuhay!
I love that you really did help this nice lady.
3 out of 4 tradesmen will take advantage of trusting and/or elderly customers. (It’s true)
But the worst part of all is not only did they take her money, she suffered in her own home for three years because of the first three hacks.
Happen to run across your video by accident. Your service is top notch from what I just watched. The investigation, the demo,repair, cleanup thumbs up to all of it!
Thank you. We appreciate your feedback. 🙏
I don't know how I got here lol but you guys are impressive! It's nice to see honest companies helping people out. 👏

Right? 😂 The end sealed it: they gave their all. 🤣

The film clips are hilarious. Well done gentleman. Thank you for helping this woman. She seems extremely stressed out. You didn’t make huge holes in her walls; you prepped it well for a professional painter to come in and not have it cost her too much money in addition to the rat extraction expenses. I feel awful that she was misled about her house. Let’s just say that I, too, was very misled about a 2 year old expensive home in Arizona so I understand the frustration of being conned into thinking that the house has/had no issues. My issue is not rats but insects. My skin crawls just thinking about it. It was never mentioned during the sale nor in the full home inspection that we paid for. 3 years later and it’d not 100% contained. 🤬
Very impressed with your work!! 👏🏻👍🏻💯
That dog needs its own channel.
Definitely a character.
Agree. Our family owns & loves terriers. They have huge personalities, are intelligent, fun/funny & super loving. They are also natural ratters. This girl, Stella is a West Highland Terrier aka a Westie.
We had the same problem in our first home situated right beside a creek, I lived in the country and had never encountered sewer rats until I moved into town . We plugged the entrance hole and put traps out I caught so many rats they looked like small beavers . Thankfully we did get rid of them.
The more I watch this guy the better I like him and when he said you got the wrong company he didn't say that they couldn't do the job somewhere he just talked that they were over match for what you have. Love is videos great guy there's room for people that just do good exclusion work and don't want to tear into your walls. Anybody that's fighting rats is against a real tough opponent so don't knock them. I hope I don't need anybody of this guy's caliber at getting rid of rats.
Man this channel is SO educational. THANK YOU!!!! We have a crazy and complicated situation (100 year old townhouse in an old city, with weird DIY addons and a connected property owned by a terrible slumlord). Im going to be studying your videos like it's my damn job!
In addition to rats in the lower back of the rhe house, the slum lord has attracted a host of squirrels and raccoons to the shared attics. We knew about the squirrels forever and had excluded them from our side for a while.... Recently hadn't seen all the squirrels going in and our of slumlord's attic and wondered why (it's not like he repaired the roof, there are still gaping holes in the front and back).... Until one night I woke up to the screams of a baby raccoon being murdered by a big male raccoon in the yard, and the mother frantically trying to evacuate her other babies from the attic..... Which explains why all the squirrels had noped the hell out of the attic in the first place. Fun! 🙃😫
Love your commitment to do the job right! We have sewer rats that for the time being seem to be confined to the bathroom vent stack. I am concerned one day they will breach the pipes. I ordered a back flow valve to have installed, but made the mistake of getting a ‘normally open’ valve. I’ll try again to get the right one, but I understand the valve is just plastic and the rats could chew thru that too! In one of your videos you added some wire mesh. Can you do a detailed video on that? I’m afraid adding the mesh might interfere with it closing properly?
Very impressive.
Reminds me of a share house I lived in when very young… it had so many mice and rats in it that we started a tally to see who could catch the most… a little image of a rats head went on the score board for each catch… we gave up around 70 if I recall, and finally called the local council as we heard they’d come for free if there was an infestation (& there was)… I recall lying in bed hearing them scratching some much right behind my head behind the wall, I was too scared to sleep in case they broke through… we all left soon after and the house was demolished…
Coming from a rural / desert location, we have several kinds of mice... Some are so sneaky / delicate that they can lick the peanut butter off a trap without setting it off... The is, until you wrap the peanut butter in thread and they catch their teeth on the thread.
No idea if there is any benefit for much larger rats, just thought it was interesting that we got 100% effectiveness out of peanut butter and thread for the kinds of critters we see here.
That extra cover and mount on the rat trap is pretty genious!
Thanks for the tread tip!
Always floss before eating -😉
What a great idea, the thread!
This lady looks like a very neat and clean person And did not deserve this. You guys are doing gods work.
lol, god's work? Didn't he make the rats in the first place?
Why did god give her rats.. and why is it now gods work to clean it? That is a messed up god
Rats have destroyed my house twice I had two questions tell me that I brought it on by taking a psychic development of course SMH God doesn't do things like that! Praise God Amen
We didn't have rats, but we had mice. We finally found out mid 2022 that they were getting in through the poorly installed open sewer pipe that the HVAC system the previous owner got installed was dripping condensation into. We went through at least half a dozen possible routes until we stopped seeing new ones in the traps. So essentially we had an open way for mice to crawl in from the sewers for over 7 years that we've been in the house.
During the holidays in 2021 while we were at my in-law's for a couple weeks, the mice found their way into our bedroom and my toddler son's nursery. We had found 3 that were either hiding or snuck into the main floors. We had one hiding in my nightstand, we physically hunted it down in middle of the night for several hours, and we got a grab of the tired and not as agile mouse with a grabber extension at which point we took it outside and smashed it with a deck brush. The second one was trapped in a snap trap in the laundry room where it was last sighted but was still alive; I was so angry about them destroying my childhood plushes that I broke the deck brush finishing this one up. The third one showed up in our living room and the chase pretty much went like the first, but we finished it off while it was resting between cardboard boxes by smashing the boxes together at the neck. We had so much to clean up after, and we're still not completely done cleaning up the entire aftermath dealing between being in middle of renovating my in-laws' bathroom and taking care of our special needs son.
To this day I still semi-regularly get nightmares that has to do with rodent infestations.
What a horrific nightmare
Jesus that's awful. Idk if you have cats, but that has made a huge difference for us, at least in preventing pests from getting into the home. We have two indoor guys and they catch EVERYTHING foolish enough to come inside, it's great. We just try not to let them eat anything in case it's been poisoned by a neighbor. (Seen too many cases of owls dying from eating poisoned mice to take that risk.) We obviously got them as companions, not for pest control, but boy is it a nice bonus to our friendship!
I've been having rats in my house for 5 years. I got a two-story house built. The first night rats came out. The builder didn't help me. I've had 5 exterminator companies and no success. I told them I heard them in the wall and they acted like I was crazy. I hired a handyman. We took off the siding and found holes in the foundation all around the house. I took pictures and showed them to the builder. He told me to send them to him so he can remind his guys not to make those mistakes. Nothing about helping me. I continue working on my house to fix the rat problem. It has caused me anxiety, nightmares, and panic attacks also I'm a disabled veteran.
@@Sleipnirseight Smart move bringing in the Allied forces. I'm glad there were no casualties other than those sustained by enemy forces.
I rented a place when I was in college. Mouse ran over my head while I was sleeping. That upset me and caused a sequence of events that resulted in injured and ultimately killed mice. I have to say the best thing is stopping them from wanting to come in and preventing them from entering. Sad to kill a mouse stuck in your trap with a broken leg. Cutest I'd ever seen. But it had to go.
My trick for the large spring traps is to screw them to a plank no wider than the trap itself. Then elevate the end of the board that the wacker is on. The rodents only can approach from one direction, (If they can come from the wrong direction the spring can shove them clear of the trap). I also tie a string to the trigger and coat it well with peanut butter. They can lick a trigger clean but will tug on the string which will set it off.
Great work, as usual, guys. Yes, if you find a rat trap which has been recently sprung and there's fresh blood on the trap, there's virtually always a dead rat nearby. And often there will be no blood, but still you'll find a dead rat within a few meters of the trap. The rat only needs the Victor trap's kill-arm to glance off its head and that's enough to fatally injure the rat, even though the trap may not hold the rat and the rat may stagger some distance from the trap before dropping. That's why you Twins have fitted your traps with serrated edges around the bait hood, and why I fit my rat traps with 3 - 4 sharp nails in front of the bait hood, to help hold the trapped rat on the trap. I trust that you fitted wire mesh over that breached vent pipe where it exited the roof.
Victor rats traps are by far the best!
Did the rats originally enter the system through the vents or did they come in through the sewer ?
I totally agree with you. @@Mr1967mustang100
yes, the rats climbed up the pipe from the neighborhood sewer system, and then chewed out through the pipe and went into the house.
Not just damage but diseases. Excellent work. Thanks
WOW that must be the words record for the longest 10 seconds!!! It lasted DAYS and was long enuf for minor home demolition and repair!!! So fast and so easy. I bet you could build an entire house in about 60 seconds!!! Great work!
Working with integrity and honesty as you guys do is very honorable!!........you guys rip!!!
Stella is just a bundle of joy. I wanna roll around with her petting and giving some luvs.
The snap traps work fine. You have to put the peanut butter under side of the bait plate. They get their head under it in order to get at the peanut butter and because of the angle they're at they cant move fast enough when they set the trap off. This is an awesome video! Your a professional and great content creator.
I remember during civil engineering associates degree when I were in a 1km+ long subsurface canal system called the arroyo de monterroso, seeing huge sewer rats crawling in and out the lateral lines ahead in the darkness, darkness all around except for the torch beam. They’d stay well ahead but I remember seeing one about as large as a cat which would scare most people. The system served a large amount of surface area so plenty of food from the rats, anywhere from fruit fallen in from the catch basins, tomato or other plants growing (discharged from the regulators of the sanitary sewer system and also eels that live in the central fluid channel if they were really desperate..
nice to see results. I had one come in by chewing next to an electrical wire going to a outside garage , caught them on video first , then MONSTER rat traps. 5 in total out of the house and the hole was sealed . No more issues ! Vac trap is cool !
God Bless you guys. I've had rats. The noise the smell the thought of rodents in your wall is traumatic.
God bless you too! Appreciate you watching and sharing. 🙏❤️
I have the same issue in my apt. Been living there a year. They've been in the walls about 9 months. I was told it was a "brand new" apartment. I was an employee at the time (boiler tech) and had to explain how the incomplete the apt was before moving in. I explicitly expressed my concerns about rats. I was assured the apt was rodent free and sealed up. I can't explain the headache it's been since
I've formed a belief that guys like this only exist on RUclips/TV... It seems literally impossible to find anyone truly competent in real life.
I'm lucky. I've poisoned wall rats and they left. No sewer rats yet. I open the wall and bait them. For some reason it works. They leave the next day. They come back in about eight years later. I use gopher bait, not rat poison. You guys do a great job and show up the other ratters out there. You have good tools
Thanks for sharing this 🙏
@@TwinHomeExpertsif you guys are ever in the NYC Area I’d love to contract you for my house

Thr Rat Dance was a great ending to a great video. Your added creation to the Victor snap traps is ingenious.
Loved that Rat Dance LOL I don't know what was crazier... Chicken Disco or that Rat Dance. I think they would make a good DJ Mix.
Pest control, HVAC, cleaning, handymen, mechanics. The service companies where too many of them see you as a paycheck. This is a great guide even to show to a trusted handyman if you can't do the work.

This guy is fantastic! Tons of personality and effective at his job.
Somebody needs to send this man and his awesome crew to Washington DC

Impressive company 👍
Scared to think about how much their services cost.
Right!?
It is a helpless feeling to see and hear them and/or see the droppings. 💔
Fun dancing 🎶
Yes, it’s such a huge stress and costly frustration to homeowners. ❤️
I love this guy. @16:52 He starts talking about the rat vac and his voice trembles because he's so excited and impressed by the product. That's someone you can trust. Dude who runs a business and is legit interested in all aspects of his work to the point of it almost being a hobby. He clearly has a man VS Rodent attitude, and all he's thinking is about the win. Good for him, good for the homeowner and at the end of the day, great for his company. First time I've even heard of this channel but I was entertained by the stories and all the knowledge. All the explanations etc. Sub'd right away. Who knew when youtube started that we'd be choosing our own programming and a channel about removing wall rats would be on our list lol.
Dave rat dance is epic and shameless at the same time 😂😂😂
🤣🕺🏻
I made a vacuum mousetrap. I noted they had tunnels in the snow that went through the neighborhood. It starts with a motion detector switch, the kind that turn on your light when you walk in the room, the wet vac plugged in. Set for minimum 3 minutes. The tube runs to a little box with peanut butter treats and the motion detector just before the treat. I was surprised how often it turned on. Looking inside there were many mice. The next day though was gruesome.
I found all-you-can-eat poison just doesn't seem to work, especially if they won't eat it. Sticky traps along their highways with blockage directing their Crossing directly over it, sticky traps are very effective.
Found sticky traps for colder weather special order through Home Depot.
Sir, you are awesome in every sense of the word. Also, I was impressed by your sense of compassion for the one live rat in the vacuum. I had mouse problems in my garage and originally set out the age-old snap traps which worked great. But then one day I found a dead chipmunk in one and another time a mouse that was clamped down on its back end and was still alive. That honestly broke my heart and ever since that time, I have been using live traps. The one Harbor Freight sells is excellent and those I catch, I release out in the woods. Also, I have three indoor cats and some years back my male caught and killed a mouse in the night. I was so proud of him. I sealed all around my house and have not had a single mouse in years now.
10 seconds after, 4 hours of setup, 5 walls opened up, toilet removed, lunch breaks I would say a full 8 hours. 🤣🤣
FOR REAL! all for 3 rats? seriously?
They actually did all the REAL exclusion work in that wall space and that broken pipe.
Then new rats can not come in and the others can’t get out as well.
*Then they got 3 in the rat vac and 1 in the ceiling crawl space.*
There may have been more rats in the wall space. In other videos, they leave traps for several days. Nothing was mentioned here.but I bet they did that as well.
Thank you for helping her and us. I find some pest controls good in some areas and lacking in others
Still teaching me more than my company 🙏

You're a hero for real. I left my last apartment because of rat issues. It's not something you can always live with. I was getting bit by rat mites on a daily basis. It's so hard to deal with. My landlord and I tried our best, but it wasn't getting better.
I got rats in my attic. I had a septic system, not a sewer. I used traps and they came back! I called a pest control company…they used poison. The rats came back. I went around the house and covered all my screen soffits in quarter inch hardware cloth and used poison again. They came back.
I finally found where they were getting in…a retrofit that had added the central ac to the house had a pvc pipe running from the outside unit into the attic. I found some pipe wrap they had chewed. Closed that up, one more round of poison, and FINALLY was done with them.
I so feel for that lady!
That is world level professional 👍🏼 You guys are amazing 👏🏼 It was great entertainment.
I dont understand why every vent isnt covered with steel mesh? Even new homes
Just watched a whole episode and it was so satisfying from beginning and especially the end 🎉
TWINS for the WIN! Great video. What do you use, to smoke a house? When I search for a fogger I see the ones for mosquitos, is that the same thing. I got a vertical 3-family building, i think a smoker would be useful
Our equipment is super expensive. If your just needing for a few times I would just get the superior smoke machine and candles.
@@TwinHomeExperts@jshbbrt, I would (did) go to one of the big box stores and buy one of their cheap ($30) wet vac. and then go to the fireworks store and buy a case of 2 minute smoke bombs. Put the hose on the blow side of the wet vac. Blow the smoke down into the main vent stack like you did. If I got smoke in one of the rooms, I would take a plumbers snake camera and drop it into the vent stack to find the breach. If you use this method very long you will burn up the wet vac motor with the smoke bombs (use the paper and or foam filters that come with it, takes longer to burn up the motor). After lighting the fuse, hold the smoke stick in your hand , don't drop it in the vac. It could start a fire. wear a glove on the hand with the smoke stick, or hold it with pliers, it can get warm. I didn't have the expensive equipment you had, but it works. I've been retired for 7 years now and love your videos. Keep up the great work!
the rat dance with the traps on your feet in this was hilarious 😂
I'm a huge fan of the electric mouse and rat traps. No blood mess from triggered but escaped rodent, easy disposal and fool proof rearm. Keep them baited year round and be vigilant.
Good job guys
As a plumber I am very curious to know how common it is for mice to eat through that 3" abs drain vent.
Also, I noticed that pipe appeared to have been cut prior to the mouse making the hole. Is this correct?
@@BlondieHappyGuy I agree. But the homeowner said she had that bathroom redone recently so that makes sense. The plumber didn't install a coupling, the mice knew to chew at that pipe-gap to get to the other side.
Funny thing is that sewer gases should have been smelled all that time. This usually prompts a call for a plumber to investigate. And the problem would have been solved by a plumber.
I think they made the first of two cuts to remove the piece with the chewed hole in it
Not sure how I got here, but I’m impressed with your rat dance moves!! 💃🏻
You guys are so informative and having fun no matter the job is key. I hate having to dispatch critters but in the city why waste time these guys create havoc and seriously destroy our homes
These guys are thorough and smart. I subscribed to their channel because I believe I can learn a lot from them.
Great video! Thank you! You do very professional work. Nice job!
Less than 10 seconds? That’s the most misleading title I have ever seen. This was DAYS of work.
This is the second video I’m watching, I was wondering where you guys were from, seen those palm trees and knew it was home.
It is either California or Florida...
I was surprised that rat was able to get out of the lose trap. It took a direct head hit.
We have lost so many rats just placing traps down, this is why we invented our traps because this won’t happen.
So professional. Great job and you cleaned and repaired everywhere
Hey Twins have a good end of weekend, I was just wondering if you used the blocker from the sewer ( I don't know the name) I've seen you using that before, the one which blocks the entry from the main sewer line, would that solve the problem as well?
Keep posting your videos is really entertaining, cheers from Brazil
Great question! Yes, installing a back flow valve ( rodent blocker) on the main sewer pipe will solve the issue. Thanks for watching our channel all the way from Brazil 🇧🇷! 🙏🙏
The world needs more people like you guys whom really care about helping people and your honesty. Thank you for being you!
3 WORDS, Get a Cat
I had a cat that caught a mouse once, but he seemed a little... confused regarding the assignment, shall we say. Came up to the entire family with the live mouse in his mouth, kicking and squealing the whole way. The cat had the proudest looking expression, almost like he was saying "I caught one! ... ...Now what do I do?"
Before trusting a cat to take care of mice, make sure they aren't embarrassments to their genus.
HAAA!!! This channel is gold~~ Great production and super informative. Thx bro
Read this whole message if you are mature enough to handle it. Contains violent descriptions. I know somebody who has a few chickens at their house which sits on a big wooded lot. They had motion activated cameras mounted at various places on the property for security and to keep an eye on the chickens, which were actually pet chickens. Camera activity was recorded on a machine capable of playback. One night a big racoon came onto the property and caught their favorite little chicken whos name I can't remember and proceeded to rip it apart and eat the whole thing while sitting right in front of one of the cameras! The lesson learned, for me anyway, is no matter how tempted you may be, don't eat the chickens unless you know where all the cameras are, and if you have cameras you might want to set up an audible alarm so you actually know something is happening requiring your intervention and so you never have to watch a video like that. Thanks for allowing me to share this horrible story with you. It may save a life.
May I ask where you provide service, and how much did this particular job cost? I’m also in the industry.
