A tip for you...use the glue gun to adhere the bait to the cardboard. This way you don't lose it all into the bucket after the first rodent drops in. The same bits of bait will attract multiple rodents all day & night. In addition, since it's glued they are more likely to step closer to the edge setting off the trap.
Hello Tim Scott, welcome to the channel and our community sir!! Thank ya for the tip sir as I did do that off camera a day later as I was losing a lil feed as the rats fell in to the bucket lol, thank ya for bringing this up!! I thank ya for watching and commenting, have a good Sunday!! Dan
@@garnotgaming it's the best as long as it's not in a hot area. Then the peanut butter does not stick. (As I quickly learned when I put a bucket trap in my attic)
Thank ya for watching and commenting mam, welcome to the channel!! Yes mam, I actually hot glued the bait to that platform off camera, worked out great!! I preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a great week!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting Mr Joey, welcome to our community and the channel!! No demo sir, I caught a huge rat in the trap and deposed of it, this video was on to put the trap together!! Dan
I hope this works for me I am at my wits end. They escape every other trap I set and I am ready to cry. They have cost us so much in the plumbing and wiring they have eaten through. I feel so defeated. Trying your design
Thank ya for watching and commenting Faceless ASMR Videos, welcome to our community and the channel!! I feel your pain, rats ate thru all my feed containers and contaminated all my feed, I will say this trap did work for me and I hope it works for ya!! The one thing I did off camera was hot glue the bait to the platform, no more lost bait!! Have a great weekend and good luck getting rid of the rats!! Dan
Bucket traps work. Also try 70% corn meal, 25 % bicarbonate of soda, 4% sugar and 1% salt, mix it well, put it out for rats to eat, don't ket it get wet. It will not hurt other animals, but rats and mice can not burp or fart and they die when they eat this simple mix. Try it and see how it works. Our feed cans are all plastic except the big corn "pig and chicken feed" metal can. That's thecan they'd love to get in... Our mineral supplement can, they don't care about that. I use a .177 caliber Crosman Legacy and a .22 caliber Benjamin Prowler ND we gave a good time shooting the rats on occasion. But nothing works like the soda and meal mix.
We use 5gallon buckets in the barn too. We drill 2 holes across from each other and put a piece of all thread through a piece of pvc pipe where the pvc will spin. Put peanut butter in the middle of the pipe and when they step on the pvc, it spins and they can't get traction and drop in the bucket where they hit the water we put there.
Thank ya for watching Mr Willie and yes sir, I looked at that design myself, reckon the next one I make will be along those lines sir!! Thank ya for the tip!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting mam, welcome to our community and the channel!! Yes mam, I actually did hot glue the bait to that platform off camera, worked like a charm, thank ya for mentioning this!! You have a great rest of the week!!! Dan
Shmear little peanut butter on the edge of that and they'll keep falling in the bucket and you won't lose your bait after the first one! I've caught nine mice in one night with the roller type with peanut butter,
Thank ya for watching and commenting Mr William and yes sir, I've tried the rolling traps before with peanut butter, I'll be making another one of those soon!! Have a good week sir!! Dan
Thank ya for watching Sapper, them rats are getting smart over here at the AO, may have to redesign this trap lol!! Y'all have a good week my brother!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting sir, welcome to the channel!! I could see how those signs would work better, wish I had access to them lol!! Have a great week and I preciate ya stopping by the channel!! Dan
Only good for one at a time, unfortunately. Sprinkle the bait on a piece of duct tape on the sticky side up. Pin the duct tape to the cardboard just before the pivot point. Multiple Captures
Than ya for watching and commenting sir, welcome to the channel!! I did off camera, hot glue some bait tot hat platform, worked 100% better, than ya for the tip!! Dan
This works!!! Thank you so much for posting! We have had contractors here and the door got left open and a little roof rat ran into the house. We tried $75 in different traps to no avail. Made this (while my husband laughed at me from the couch) and caught it on the first night! I took half a peanut and rubbed it on the floor where I saw it run, onto my ramp, and the platform where I had peanut butter, dog food, chocolate chips, and cheese so I’m sure that helped. Anywho, thanks again! Our little rat fried was caught and released in the park this morning and I’m sure he or she is thankful too!
Hello A Ludtke, welcome to our community and the channel!! Awesome, glad this video helped ya on catching that rat, them jokers can be pesky and damage a lot of stuff!! This trap has caught several rats over here and I mean 1 pound rats lol!! I thank ya for watching and commenting, have a great weekend!! Dan
Im looking to trap and release the rats under my house too, and i'm wondering: how did you manage to keep it in the bucket? Im scared they would just somehow manage to jump out again if I don't fill the bucket with water (which I don't want to)? Thank you Phil
Now that's a smart idea! We're in the process of of moving to the country. We have a lot to learn. I now know which type of feed buckets to buy for my feed & how to build a cost effective rat trap. Thank you. I will watch some of your other videos to educate myself. Have a blessed day. Best wishes from Central Texas.
Thank ya for watching mam and sorry for the late reply, YT has been getting a bunch of comments to me late!! So far this trap has been working good over here, I may redesign the next one tho!! Have a good weekend mam!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting mam, welcome to our community and the channel!! I would think that would be possible BUT with the bait in the open they have no need to chew threw that bucket. Dan
Nice meeting you my friend in the USA.from England love that ol Southern accent and attitude and I have a mouse in the bedroom and I will definitely make this today many times thanks
Thank ya for watching and commenting Mr Ken, welcome to our community and the channel!! Yes sir, that trap should work for ya, I have huge field rats over here!! I preciate ya stopping by the channel!! Dan
What if you got glued a soda bottle lid where you put the bait down and put peanut butter in it so the chicken feed doesn't fall in so you don't have to law down bait every time a rat falls in.
Thank ya for watching and commenting sir, welcome to the channel!! Yes sir, I hot glued the bait on the platform off camera, worked like a charm but thank ya for bringing that up!! Dan
Awesome Dan, when I had chickens I kept my feed in 55 Gal steel barrels because even using the thicker plastic barrels they seemed to chew through 🤨 this trap sho enough effective my friend and budget friendly so high five 🙌🏻 and gold stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all around. Have a good Sunday Dan
Thank ya for watching mam and them rats did the same thing over here lol, amazing to see them chew through a heavy duty rubber maid trash can lol!! Have a great week mam!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting, welcome to the channel!! The water is definitely not necessary, maybe use a taller bucket tho!! I preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a great weekend!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting mam, welcome to the channel!! I normally dispose of the rats as they are a huge problem here on the farm and plenty other farms in my area!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting Jane Doe, welcome to our community and the channel!! I don't think the rats would be able to climb the sides of the bucket, too slick I think!! Dan
Dan--------------------------- I use peanut butter so my feed sticks on the lid. I had a ton of field "Squirrels", yeah, that big, in my feed room. They could eat half a bag of sweet feed in one night. Well, I got ticked off so, I built one of these out of a blue drum. I swear these rats could've escaped a 5 gallon bucket they were so huge. I expected to catch one or two but, ended up with 17 big rats and 2 regular sized mice. I keep it out there and check it every morning. I'm down to catching 2 or 3 a month now. Best trap ever!!!!! Also, I use dollar tree plastic cutting board and a small snap hinge on top of mine. I needed a product that didn't mind the humidity! LOL.
Hello jessica kiefer, welcome to our community and the channel mam!! Gracious, sounds like you had a time with them tree rats lol!! The field rats were so bad over here they were eating thru my garbage cans I had the feed in!! Great tip on the cutting board and snap hinge, I may may to modify my trap now lol!! I thank ya for watching and commenting mam, come back and visit when ya can, you have a great week!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting J O, welcome to our community and the channel!! I actually hot glued some bait to that platform, worked like a charm!!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting XYZ, welcome our community and the channel!! I shonuff hot glued that bait on to that platform off camera, worked like a charm!! Dan
Great Video, our neighbor hood is starting to see roof rats! So I'm going to make one too. I'm with you I love animals and have 2 Springers, but the only good rat is a dead one.
Thank ya for watching and commenting Mr Tim, welcome to the channel and our community sir!! Gracious, roof rats can't be good, I have a lot of field mice and rats over here, they get in to everything!! I hope you can catch some of those rats with this trap, I'd glue the bait onto the platform tho, works a lot better!! Preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a great week!! Dan
I suggest making the flapper out of aluminum. Use glue to hold the axle. Also, covering the far side with a light coat of peanut oil. Also mounting a piece of a Slim Jim with a screw to the inside edge of the bucket. That way no extra bait is needed and the rats slide right down all night long, night after night. 👍🏽
Thank ya for watching and commenting D RC, welcome to our community and he channel!! Cool, thank ya for the info al your suggestions sound spot on, I may have to give them a try on the next trap I build!! I preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a good rest of the week!! Dan
I have seen versions using pie plates for the flapper. Upside down of course. The rodents have absolutely no purchase on the aluminum and plop goes the weasel into the water.
8:50: And you lose your bait in the bucket. suggest you use the glue gun to stick it in place!! The other thing, cardboard prob. not the best material, rats/mice will pee on it, and they (rats)may be able to dig their claws in. suggest smooth hard plastic.
Thank ya for watching and commenting John Smith, welcome to our community and the channel!! Yes sir, I actually hot glued the bait on to that platform off camera, worked really good too!! Preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a good week!! Dan
Hello Mrs Jill, welcome to our community and the channel mam!! 😀Thank ya for the kind comment, I like to share as much information as I can!! I thank ya for watching and commenting, come back and visit when ya can, have a great Sunday!! Dan
For mice put the grain in the bucket inside..that way the trap will reset and you catch more..one at a time isn't going to work.. or make a paste out of the feed and spear it onto the middle of the cardboard that way trap will reset and you will catch more..
Thank ya for watching and commenting Mr Eddie, welcome to our community and the channel!! Well I actually hot glued the bait to the platform off camera and it worked like a charm!! Thank ya for the info sir, have a great weekend!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and sir, welcome to the channel!! I actually did just that off camera and as you stated, I didn't lose any of that bait!! I preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a great weekend!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting Mrs Rebecca, welcome to the channel!! That's a good idea, moved to using grain containers that are rodent proof, been working good so far!! I preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a great week!! Dan
Looks like a very safe trap to use. I mean, safe for any other animals on your homestead. I surely appreciate it. 5 pounder, huh? Holy cats! I’d be tempted to move! Anyhoo ... I just subscribed here. I like “real” people if u know what I mean. I found you from an older video the Lord led me to tonight. Opal from the Suburbs. I was lookin for a way to can tea for iced tea, sweet tea ... she had a good one. I’m troubled that her videos kinda knocked off around 4 years back. I was wondering if you know what went with her, God bless her. Thanks for ur channel. I’m makin a big garden this year so I need all the help I can get. Will be lookin back on urs now & again. God Bless and Godspeed my friend.
Hello Mrs Carol, welcome to our community and the channel mam!! I haven't heard from Opal from the Suburbs in awhile, I followed her channel for a long time but I do hope all is good with her!! I thank ya for watching, commenting and the kind words mam and yes mam, I shonuff try to keep it real on this channel!! You have a good Wednesday evening!! Dan
Hello Mrs Doris, welcome to our community and the channel!! Awesome, glad this trap worked out for ya, I'm gonna make a few adjustments to the next trap I make but the first one I built worked great for me as well!! I thank ya for watching and commenting, come back and visit when ya can!! Have a great week!! Dan
No sir Mr Brad, I haven't but I'm not opposed to trying one out tho lol!! Thank ya for watching and commenting sir, welcome to our community and the channel!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting mycaddigo, welcome to the channel and our community!! Sorry, I don't have any video of the trap working, I do plan on building another trap and setting up some cameras to get some footage soon!! Preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a great week!! Dan
Thank ya Speak the Truth and I thank ya for watching and commenting, welcome to our community and the channel!! Ya got that right, them rats leave droppings everywhere lol!! I preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a great weekend!! Dan
Yep; rats chew through my compost bins as well. Not a huge problem with compost bins, but I can see how you don't want that in feed. Great trap - I was going to make a roller one but this looks way more effective. I did get rid of my rats by cutting food access and filling holes but now I have mice, which live off crumbs and fit through anything.
Thank ya for watching and commenting Immingham Ironhead, welcome to our community and the channel!! I feel your pain on mice, I have a lot of them here, we call them field mice. As far as the rats, that's a struggle as well over here but I'm making a small dent in their populations over here lol!! Preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a good Wednesday evening!! Dan
Thank makes 2 of us Mrs Sarah lol!! Thank ya for watching and commenting, welcome to our community and the channel mam!!! Have a good rest of the week!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting gbaker, welcome to the channel!! Oh yes , that's an excellent idea and I think the mechanics of the trap could work on a 45 gallon drum!! I preciate ya stopping y the channel, have a great week!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting wesraysoldier, welcome to our community and the channel!! I actually hot glued the bait onto that platform off camera, worked like a charm but PB would do the trick as well I think!! Have a great weekend and thank ya for stopping by the channel!! Dan
Your video began, with you say'in, "What d'ju done did ?"... I thought that was funny as hell ! I was hooked, and thought, I gotta check this dude out...lol Good info, Thanks !
Thank ya for watching and commenting Mr Toby, welcome to our community and the channel!! Awesome, do let us know how the trap worked out for ya!! Have a great weekend!!!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting mam, welcome to our community and the channel!! Yes mam, I did hot glue some bait on to that platform off camera, worked like a charm!! Have a great week!!! Dan
True dat, PB works really good!!! I hot glued some of that feed onto the platform, worked purty good lol!! I thank ya for watching and commenting, welcome to our community and the channel!! Have a great Sunday!!! Dan
Nice simple efficient trap Dan. May I just respectfully add a couple of tips to it. If you are going to use bait then perhaps glue it to the far edge of the cardboard. As someone else has already mentioned. You won't lose so much grain. In lieu of feed maybe better to use a dab of peanut butter. It'll stick to the cardboard and is like the rodent version of crack. Also add a few drops of dish detergent to the water. Decreases the surface tension of the water and the rodents drown faster. Otherwise a really simple efficient rodent trap. Thank you for sharing.
Thank ya for watching and commenting Mr Rex, welcome to our community and the channel!! Yes sir, thank ya for the tips, all are shonuff solid!! I did hot glue the bait onto the platform off camera and that worked really well!! I didn't know about adding the dish detergent, thank ya for that one!! I preciate ya taking the time to watch the video, have a great Sunday!! Dan
Thank you so much for your sharing this trap! I built it by myself and caught the packrat that had been destroying my succulents. I had previously used a snap trap which he set and ate the peanut butter off the trap. I used a chunk of cheese smeared with peanut butter near the edge of my cardboard flap. Other comments are right that this trap can be used multiple times. Thank you again!
Thank ya for watching and commenting Mrs Llona, welcome to our community and the channel!! Awesome, glad the trap worked for ya, I actually hot glued the bait on the platform so it wouldn't fall into the bucket, worked great!! I preciate ya stopping by the channel, come back and visit when ya can!! Dan

Thank ya for watching and commenting Lindy-Lou, welcome to our community and the channel mam!! Yes mam, you're gonna need a few tools to put this trap together, sorry. I preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a good week ahead!! Dan
This worked in only 5 hours!! Thank you! At 2am I looked up videos for rat traps using stuff I already had, and built this one. I’d been trying to catch this pack rat humanely for WEEKS. Unfortunately, it did drown; the rat was about 3” tall and 8” long, so I’d put just 1 inch of water in the bottom just so it wouldn’t be able to leap up with as much force as I knew it could (like when you try to jump in the shallow end of a pool). I guess even that was too much water. :( I’ve drowned and had CPR before and drowning is the most painful, torturous thing I’ve been through to date. I didn’t want the critter to go through that, but long story short, the trap DID work.
Hello Mrs Jenna, thank ya for watching and commenting, welcome to our community and the channel!! Awesome, glad the trap worked for ya!! I have a huge problem with field rats over here so this trap has put a lil dent in the population over here!! I preciate ya stopping by the channel, come back and visit when ya can, have a good Wednesday!! Dan
Instead of a counter balance, it just stuck a magnet on the bucket and one on the cardboard piece.. And 3 quarters taped to the under side so it closes. 🙂
Hello T lee, thank ya for watching and commenting, welcome to the channel and our community!! Cool, thank ya for the tips, I may have to give your way a try, seems a bit easier too!! Preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a great week!! Dan

Nice trap Mr. Dan. Yup no poison around here. We don't have a problem with rats or mice around here. The neighbor has a good mouser cat and some of the snakes take care of them as well. Mice and rats are not on my catch and release list either. They are on the catch and terminate list. Stay well. Best wishes Bob.
Thank ya for watching and commenting Mr Bob and yes sir, I'm sure I have some rat snakes lurking around over here and I'm good with that, I need to find some barn cats for over here lol!! Y'all have a good week sir!! Dan
We'll let ya know if we come into contact with ya girl ratzy lol!! Thank ya for watching and commenting Mr Tom, welcome to our community and the channel!! Dan
Well go on out there, get ya some peanut butter no particular kind and use it as glue to hold on to ya bait so it don't fall down in the water and try to sprout. The mouse or rats dead hes not gonna eat it.
Thank ya for watching and commenting bobbg, welcome to our community and the channel!! I actually hot glued the bait off camera and that worked pretty good but thank ya for the tips!! Preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a good week!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting Chris Murphy, welcome to our community and the channel!! Yes, I think cats would be fine around this trap, if they get in, I'm sure they'd be able to jump out!! Dan

Thank ya for watching and commenting Mr James, welcome to our community and the channel!! I'd try putting the bait further out on the platform, I have HUGE rats over here and I've caught a bunch of them!! Good luck catching them jokers!! Dan
Yes Sir the weather has been awesome! I have seen a bunch of those type traps also. They shonuff work!! Proof is in the bucket. Nice job done showing how you built your trap. Maybe this will catch all those pesky rats for ya. Stay safe and have a great week! Keep that shine on brother!!
Thank ya for watching brother and reckon I'll be building a different trap soon, them rats are getting smart over here lol!! Y'all have a good week my friend!! Dan
Thank ya for watching and commenting Mr James, welcome to our community and the channel sir!! Yes sir, I actually hot glued the bait on to that platform off camera, worked like a charm!! preciate ya stopping by the channel!! Dan
I watched your video twice to make sure I knew what I was doing. I'm going to use peanut butter as bait and make a little ramp up to the top of the bucket. Also I'm going to make two bucket traps & set them in two different, but well traveled, locations. I'll let you know as soon as I catch a rat. I'm anxious to see if it works. Until then...thanks for your video.
Thank ya for watching and commenting Mrs Janet, welcome to our community and the channel mam!! Awesome, glad you found the video helpful, I would have put in a ramp on my trap as well but the rats over here are jumpers lol!! If the peanut butter doesn't work for ya, try using some hot glue and stick some grains like rice or sunflowers seeds on to that platform, rats can't resist it!!

Great video, Dan! Can't wait to try to build one of these. I've spent close to $100 on snap traps, glue traps, and that new natural salt poison, and have only caught 2 rats. They have been devastating a lot of my vegetable seedlings lately, eating every little broccoli plant I put in the ground and digging up corn seeds before they sprout. I'm in a swamp and I know the rats here can swim, so I'm going to put bleach water in the bucket. Thanks for this informative video! Hope you are having a great spring growing season
Thank ya for watching and commenting sir and I have a big problem with rats as well!! So far this trap has worked but these rats over here are smart lol!! Good luck catching them jokers over there!! Have a great week!! Dan
I was thinking the same thing about putting bleach or rubbing alcohol in there instead of water, but I wondered if the strong smell would clue them off that something wasn't quite right, and they would steer clear.....did it end up working for you? Thanks, I know this is pretty old....🙄
Thank ya for watching Mr Toney and I'm shonuff glad you're enjoying my content my friend, I enjoy sharing what I do with you & y'all!! Have a great week sir!! Dan
I'm thankful I live in a rat free province. Rocky mountains to the west, rattle snakes on much of the east border and about 40 rat patrol officers working full time. The water in the bucket is key because even a mouse can jump out of a 5 gallon bucket. A couple of inches of water makes it too hard for a mouse to break the surface tension of the water to jump out of the bucket. Obviously more water for rats. Well done!
@@HomeInTheSticks Forgot to mention one more 'tip' I tried. The story goes that mice can't stand the smell of tea. I can't guarantee it works as I took to feeding feral cats just a bit to keep them around and my mouse problem is gone. Perhaps dropping a few used tea bags in your feed shed would help too.
they are so smart though! don't you have an issue with them hanging on with their back feet and pulling themselves back up? I've seen so many; traps where they take the food and leave. We tried the one with a coke bottle and peanut butter but they just hang on, eat it and leave.
Thank ya for watching and commenting Porsche LK, welcome to our community and the channel!! From what I've seen with this trap, the bait is so far at the end of the platform that the rats can't hang on to anything, they just fall in!! I preciate ya stopping by the channel, come back and visit when ya can, have a great Thursday!! Dan
It figures, here I am looking for a plan for a rat bucket and the first and best one is from someone in my home state. Lol, thank you for the good instructions, I have a few Norway roof rats with a bullseye on their back now. And, for everyone saying "use peanut butter", I say use everything, I'm fighting rats in the basement right now and I've dumped organic peanut butter all over these traps and they are walking right by them all. Im gonna make these buckets and get some scratch seed and stick it out there. Rats won't pass by corn and grains.
Hello Callie C, welcome to our community and the channel mam!! Gracious, sounds like you have a rat problem over there, I know I do over here in the Sip lol, I have big field rats that come from the property behind me on to my land, mainly my feed shed lol!! Ya got that right, peanut butter doesn't work to good on rats but they love some feed like chicken scratch!! I thank ya for watching and the kid words mam, good to hear from another Sippian!! You have a good Wednesday evening!! Dan
