Thank you for sharing this with us. With your method I managed to catch 10 big fatty rats and now we live as a big and happy family as Jesus Christ told me to in a dream.
I moved into this place beside a drunk, we would play cards sometimes but after two big bottles, it was time to leave... One day he came to see me and said I hear you pray can you pray for me. I asked and said he was passing blood in his stool and urine and I told him don't talk to me talk to a doctor, he wouldn't and said just pray for me... ok... after a week of prayer he comes to see me and he's visibly shaken, says God told him last night that he was going to be ok... I told him if God told you that you'll be ok.... I went to church and told my friend and said HOW could God tell the guy he would be ok when he smokes and drinks..... I went home and the next day the guy approaches me in the hall and he's trembling, says God spoke to him again, it never happened in his life and now twice... Ohhh, I said and asked what God said this time..... God said to him "Norman stop drinking and smoking"... I believed him then..
@@mike62mcmanus After, reading , about, Tetrazona's, dream~ I know you felt compelled, to tell your story, So amazing it is~ Thank you Mike McGomer, sharing, about your, beautiful, experience~ You never know, when a testimony, of ~*JESUS CHRIST* will appear~ ~Thank You~ ~Peace~
The trap retainer should be on the opposite side of the opening. As you can see, the rat was sniffing around it, because it's above the opening. The rat may accidentally set off the retainer while still outside the trap.
Crazy how I can watch the rat/mouse and not be afraid, but seeing them up close and personal is totally different. I'm scared out of my mind. Great trap.
@@Handle...This. Hello... watch the very ending of this video... there's that hole that the wire was sticking into, that that mouse started immediately biting at... I don't even think it would take an hour for one to get out that way, a few minutes at most, because most mice can get themselves through a hole that is only about 1/2" in diameter, or about the diameter of the end of your pinky finger! (I know because I've seen it quite a few times over the years with my very own eyes, and I grew up living in the country, where mice were everywhere, so I speak from experience with dealing with them.)
I love how the rat inspects, turns, looks right at the camera and pauses, turns and inspects the trigger mechanism and says, " Yup, ita a trap but I like peanuts." and climbs in. Lol. Amazing. Very clever.
If you don't do something right away about it being stuck in there, it will chew a hole and get out easily. Rats can also chew through some metals, brick or uncured concrete, let alone wood. You can find all this info online.
That's fantastic. The only way that trap could potentially be any better is when you burrow a bottle shaped hole in the ground and place the trap inside, while the entry hole faces upward. In this case the rat will be more eager to crawl inside of it because it is on ground level and it doesn't have to stretch upwards to get to the peanut.
It only took that rat about 2 seconds to start chewing his way out of that trap. Perhaps some metal washers glued to the inside of the hole would prevent the escape attempt.
I 100% agree the design is great besides the plastic I have seen them chew through a iron pipe and many things way way heavier than a little plastic bottle!! But But A great design on trap anyways!!!
This was so scary, and yet I watched it. Probably shouldn't have before bed. My cat evidently saw this beast as he crept over and is now sitting in front of the tv.
First time I see a mouse trap that captures the rodent keeping it alive. Good for science studies of rat population. Deserves an award. Greetings from Brasil.
You can see the rat already started chewing the thin plastic bottle at 9:17. These rats can chew a PVC pipe and this thin bottle will not keep him for 20 minutes inside.
Work Better if you put Peanut Butter on the Peanut so the Scent of it Draws them in... And Did Anyone Notice that it Started Chewing It's Way Out??? and would have been Gone By Morning? Metal Cans would have been Way Better so they could Not Chew their way out. Also Regular Snap Traps work better when you Shove a Sunflower Seed into the Trigger so they have to Tug on it to get it out and by Lubing the Latch part with Peanut Butter.
yes but as you can see, the plastic bottle has a smooth slippery surface in & out so there's no chance for nipping try it, I've tried other designs on RU-vid using using plastic bottle it works
First, I need to get me pair of those scissors. Second, put the trigger hole on the opposite side of the entryway so the rodent doesn't accidentally spring the trap while checking the place out.
YOU SIR DESERVE AN OSCAR >>>>>>best in every category!!!!! the the music ,I swear i thought i was listening to Beverly hills cop soundtrack and EDDY MURPHY was gonna creep around the backside of the bottle.........BRAVO!!!!! and a really cool and useful project
I got to say I really enjoyed this video. The whole storyline, direction, plots, setting, characters and props. The injection of sound effects and music was nothing less than perfect in timing. Well done. The trap is ok...Just kidding! The trap and baiting was Great. That was some great ingenuity there. Cheers and thanks for an entertaining watch.
That's true. And in summary, it's a rather ineffective trap. If you want to get mouse alive I think its much better to get metallic cage, add door and platform. Door will close when mouse step on platform or something like that. And the environment should be less dangerous through the eyes of a mouse.
The issue is that the trap design gives them a starting point to chew at the hole. If the mouse is in a bottle with no perforations or edges then they can't get a tooth on the smooth plastic. If you stand up a case of empty plastic soda bottles with no caps and out it in your shed or garage, the mice will climb down the throat of the bottle to get the sweet soda droplets left in the bottle bottom (if they are small mice) and get trapped in the bottle. They can't get a purchase on the smooth plastic to climb out, and they can't bite into the smooth plastic.
I caught a mouse by placing a plate of food on the edge of the counter with a tall garbage can underneath it (about 35" tall). When the critter steps on the plate close to the edge, the plate and critter fall into the can. The walls of the can are smooth so it cant climb out. I then released it far in the field. I love all animals and could not kill one no matter what...
Rats a known to chew almost thru anything even metal and since that hole was big I'm guessing it's a breathing hole and he will let it go in the woods if it hadn't chewed its way out which it's a good possibility. Also you can see how cautious that rat was they are smart so probably wouldn't catch another if that rat put a warning scent in it to faint for us to smell.or see so even if he washed it it's hard to get rid of that smell so probably have to keep making fresh ones, same thing when using this mouse traps that snap their neck and kills them that scent will be all over it and warning the others not to go near it!
I've seen a rat chew his way through a plastic 55 gallon drum as well as the cheaper thinner metal garbage cans to get to the animal feed stored inside. They'll go through that plastic bottle like a hot knife through butter!
It looks like it works well but you couldn't walk away and check it later. The rat would be gone in a matter of seconds, especially a wild rat. He was already chewing on the hole immediately after he got caught. Redesign it with something he cant chew his way out of and it would be great
Watched it interestingly! A best trap for those who enjoy the fry of it. But I'm worried about a little rat who fries and eats up my midnight sleep and eatables. Thank you and congrats! 👍🏻
My rat trap's name is Pumpkin because of his orange colored fur. We found him homeless when he was a kitten. His best night was 10 rats and three mice he stacks them up at the barn door. At lest the ones he doesn't eat first. We don't feed him and he keeps getting bigger and fatter. I figure he works for food. He's the best trap ever.
For all those who are feeling for the rat, let me tell them, rats are a menace they multiply drastically however here he has not asked you to kill the rat, one can always take the bottle miles away and set the rat free.
i've seen many vids on ways to trap these critters. City mice are a cut above, they don't fall for conventional spring loaded traps, sticky pads,etc.I was a tech in NYC and one day, up on the 76th floor in the World Trade Center, i saw glue traps under the raised computer floor. The operator told me they had some of the critters up there and would chew on some wires, a big no no with mainframe connections in the computer room. They sure as hell didn't get on the elevators and press the button, likely just climbed on the miles of cables or were somehow brought up in boxes from the loading dock area. I applaud the different ways people devise to get rid of them, some might work depending on the rodent's IQ, but i still think the best way is to figure out how the hell they got in the house in the first place and take the steps to seal it up.
