thanks mate ! this caught the rat within 2 hours ! tried store bought traps and the rat just ate the peanut buter without setting off the trap. BONZA !
A couple of things to make your trap more effective. 1st put the wood ramps at the ENDs of the bottle. You want it to be easy for the rats to get on the bottle. Also just put the peanut butter around the middle (an inch or two wide), this will draw the rats on the to bottle
The mice can walk the edge of the bucket. Then they have to reach for the can with a less sure footing. I've seen our mice get in the bucket without a ramp.
You don't want to put the peanut butter that close to the edge of the bottle!! You are wasting peanut butter and that gives the rat traction when he is climbing out. Jut put a 1" to 2" strip maximum on the center of the bottle. The idea is to get the rats to climb out over the tube to the middle and then if they shift their weight either way, they fall in.
I learned this method 47 years ago from a ten year old Vietnamese Boy who caught the Rats to help provide "Dinner" for his Village. The Jungle Rats were so BIG you had to use a 50 Drum. You didn't see any Cows running around and shooting a Water Buffalo got you Executed.
I am SHOCKED!! A young man with a HAND tool. I have SEEN these traps work..they are great. Just make sure it spins easy is all. Great job pal..keep it up!😉
Dude i have never had mice before. I caught one running in my house when I brought in groceries and I tried the stick traps which didn't work at all. Then I moved onto old fashioned traps and that barely worked because those little brats are smarter than I knew. I really hope this works. Because, I am freaked I killed like six or seven so far with the traps, when I thought I only had one!! I am so freaked. Thanks
Peter I just heard "Rocket stove" and just want to help you. You need taller bucket and without the water. Get as many rats as possible in there and let them kill and eat each others till the last one. And release that last surviving rat. That rat now would not eat anything else except other rats preferably young in the nests when parents are away looking for food. They'll comeback to dead eaten babies and seek revenges on innocent rats and the massacre will continue on perpetuating itself.
***** Nope. And weird i used a mouse trap and it worked the first time and not at all after... did the others see the neck snap on the other and learn?
You spread the peanut butter too close to the edge, a rat could keep his hind legs on the rim of the bucket and just eat the peanut butter, you have to put a thin strip of it around the center of the bottle so they have to walk on it to get to the peanut butter, this may work for mice, but not rats.
Thanks for posting, I'm trying it tonight. I had used a bucket with bait in the bottom; the first somehow jumped out, the second & third pushed props in the bucket to help them jump out! I'm not one to kill unnecessarily but it's coming down to them or my sanity... going with about 2 gallons of water in the bucket with the design you're showing. Again, thanks. A small portion of my sanity has been restored.
I made this and the damn rat just licks the peanut butter from the plank. The last time he shitted on the bottle too. Like how? Did he turn around, hang on the plank and aim his ass at the bottle? dammit
You probably had the wire too tight preventing rotation of the bottle or too small of a bucket and the stretched across while stabilizing themselves by their back legs firmly planted on the ramp or bucket.
I agree with D. Geo. 5 gallon bucket is good for mice, but for rats I plan to use a larger bucket, like a small plastic trash bin. Not a full garbage can size but like a kitchen trash bin size so it's deeper and wider than a 5-gallon bucket. Also, I'll make the spindle using something thinner like a pipe, rather than a wide plastic bottle so the rat can't just lean over from the edge of the bin. Lastly, I'll put the peanut butter bait in the middle of the spindle so the rat has to venture out on the spindle to get to it. If it's all the way out to the edge of the spindle then they'll just eat it while safe from the rim. Rats are not like mice. Mice are adventurous, curious and explore. Rats are not. They don't like anything new. They would be motivated only by hunger and are wary of anything risky. Some say the best rat trapping strategy is to put a "safe" trap out first so they get familiar with it in their area. Perhaps at first with the spindle fixed so it doesn't rotate. Let them get to the peanut butter successfully. Then after a week or so, after the rats build trust with it, then allow it to spin. For mice trapping you wouldn't need to do this. Another variation is to put the spindle not at the top but like 3/4 of the way to the top, and cut a hole in the side of the bucket right above the end of the spindle, and put a cover over the top. This way the rats can't try to pick at the bait from the safety of the rim - they are forced to go through the hole in the side and out onto the spindle.
Great tips, thanks for sharing. One question, did you catch any rats after setting your trap up? I have heard that rats are excellent swimmers, won't they be able to get out of bucket easily?
Put Dawn dish washing soap on the bottom if you would like to release the rat. They can't get enough under them to jump or climb out. That's what I did at least.
I personally will put soft play sand in the bottom about an inch or two and then line the rest of the bucket inside with petroleum jelly and that keeps them from being able to hold a grip And get out. they just slipped down but when they fall they land on the soft sand
+Abdulai Bah I don't like to kill things unnecessarily, but it is necessary to kill the rats living in my carport bc the rats are too big to go into my live traps that I wasted a bunch of money on. My original plan was to catch a bunch of live rats and let them out in a bank that screwed me over. I thought that the rats would be happy there with the other dirty rats. I built this bucket trap, but so far, the rats have just eaten the pb. Gonna have to go with the tried, tested and true snap traps.
Your trap looks like a good idea. How well did it do? I had a rat problem and tried about every type of trap available. The problem is, rats are smart and their quick learners. You may hatch one or two in a particular trap but then the rats seem to put the word out and stop getting caught. I won't use poison because it's bad for the environment. I ended up buying an electric trap from the Victor Co. And have had great success with it. It uses batteries and notifies you of a catch by a blinking light. Disposal is clean and simple too. I like that it's safe around kids and pets. A well spent $50.00
Don't know if this would work on larger Rats, but kudos to you for making this... Now thanks to your video, I need to go make a peanut butter sandwich, thanks Mr.Young...
Way to much. Because mice and rats are smart. They will try to reach on that without stepping on it and how much pb he put on... they could do it. Ur suppose to just put it in the middle. Ur also suppose to put the piece of wood for them to walk on... next to the bottle, not across from it
Humans, rats, mice, we're all pretty similar if you think about it. Only the world would be a better place if humanity didn't exist. I don't know about you but the last time I looked, we were the ones destroying EVERYTHING.
I've seen these before filled with mice, so if anybody reading this is curious: it works. I'm considering non lethal options this time around though. Wondering, do we need the water? What about some cooking oil or something? Just how far can one of them lil buggers leap? 🤔 Edit: I have a rat problem, not mouse
If you smear inside the bucket with oil or margarine, this should make it too slippery for the rodents to get out. Especially around the top edges. gonna give it a go, will give feedback if successful. thanks for the vid... l8r :)
I used wooden broom handel (or a thick wooden dowel) cut to size, and pushed nails into the ends of the dowel/handle, making sure that it rotated easily. in one case, I partly burried it into the garden, and in the house, I provided a ramp for the mice to reach to top of the bucket/bin. With peanut butter smeared in the middle, it worked better than I expected.
You had asked me if it worked back in Feb 2013. No. They were too big or had too good of balance, the peanut butter was eaten every time with no catch. Fortunately I did some serious meditation & willful intention... amazingly I haven't had any signs of mice or rats since. Call it a miracle, fate, luck, whatever... I'm ecstatically grateful... Still an awesome video though thanks for the follow up.
Dave Phillips better then mine i used machetta killed 8 rats one big one rest babies have to protect my family i have a little boy and they spread disease so fuck you dave
I just bought a product called Snap Alert that attaches to a mousetrap that sends out an alarm that a mouse has been caught. Bought it on Amazon, pretty cool.
put enough water to ensure no foot holds and then spray all surfaces inside the trap (not the wire and spinner parts) with Pam or something to that effect so everything is slippery and it really helps if you have a taller bucket
i made one using a huge wheelie bin and then i loaded it into the back of my ute and then tipped them all into the river and watched them all get eaten by crocodiles :)
To entice them a little more smear some peanut butter on the approach ramps. The final touch is to put some liquid soap in the water. This insures the side of the bucket can't be climbed up. We used one of these in our hunting camp in Colorado and caught 12 mice in one night. RIP pixie and dixie
if you want to make holes in the bucket and bottle, there are a lot easier ways than that crank bit. Just hold a sharp piece of thin metal (like a screw driver for instance,) in the flame of a lit cigarette lighter for about 15 seconds, and then you can just push it through the plastic, melts through with ease. then twist it a few times to make the hole as round and smooth as you want.
i lost my hamster it had escaped from his cage and found a hole under the bath and was living under the floor boards i tried everything then i seen this video and thought ill give it a try i set it up the trap the night before and this morning went to check the trap and the hamster was in there thank you so so much uploader it work brilliantly. thanks once again!!!!!
So how many rats did it catch ? Somebody has already mentioned how high rats can jump and they were right. I think a rat would get out of there in a flash even if it had water in it. So i hope you will let us know if this is worth making or not. I been using an old bought humane rat trap for years and caught quite a few but i am talking of a period of years.I catch the odd one or two a months say. Rats are imo very hard to trap.I have killed far more by shooting them with an air rifle than any trap.Poison works well also but each method has its own problems.
sherlockinsomniac Well how many rats did you catch ? Be honest now. I doubt if many nba players are capable of jumping more than 10x their height. That bin isn't deep enough and rats are not easy to trap in any kind of trap.
MickyMoz You're missing the point. Even if you could jump 100X your height, you would still need solid ground to push off from. It's physically impossible for any land creature to jump while treading water. My testimony is irrelevant since there is no way for me to prove to you the effectiveness of my trap, but if you must know, I caught and drowned 4 rats the first day but it has decreased since then. Now I get one every week or so. I do encourage you to watch other vids of traps like this that have water in them. The rats just keep swimming until they get tired and drown. The water would only need to be a little higher than the maximum height of the rat to prevent it from jumping.
Yes i do understand the physic's behind the trap. I just don't think that the bucket is deep enough to be effective .And i doubt that adult rat's would fall for it. Baby rats maybe as they are pretty dumb. I also wonder why you didn't include the results in your video considering it was so effective overnight. ;0)
MickyMoz This isn't my video. And I used a bigger bucket. I also used a cut up PVC pipe instead of a bottle. But it's basically the same as this. Check this video Eimerfalle für Mäuse * Bucket trap * it's much more crude version of this but is just as effective.
If you put some cooking oil or something, just about an inch or so, in the bottom of it, it will make it too slick for mice or rats to try to jump out of it. Most can swim for long periods of time, and most mice and rats can jump amazingly high. Also, if you put a bit of water or other liquid, not too much, in the bottle, it will keep lighter critters (small mice) from managing to not spin the bottle. (I said "spin the bottle... *giggle*) This is a great trap! Thanks!
Just because something has adapted to live in a city doesn’t mean that the animal is vermin. Rags do carry diseases sometimes, but so do armadillos, cats, dogs, even humans. There are just a lot more rats so it seems like they are pests.
It DOES work and is one of the most effective mouse/rat traps ever devised. I've been using this type of trap all my adult life and I am 57. But he is wrong when he says that water is "optional", because even small mice can jump out of this size bucket without enough water in it to make them buoyant. If you're trapping large rats then you must fill the bucket to nearly half full or they can get back out easily. They must be buoyant enough that they can't use their extremely powerful hind leg muscles to leap out. Mice and rats can jump great distances. Please do not use anti freeze in place of water as some suggest because cats and dogs love the taste of anti-freeze and they will die a slow miserable death when they drink it.
This type of Rat / Mouse trap is the best and the deeper the bucket the more you catch without doing anything further most others only catch one at a time
Something interesting I saw from another video was a bowl of oil. It made the mice slippery so they couldn't jump out, maybe put a thin layer of oil in the bottom of the bucket so they definitely can't jump out.
dont put the peanut butter everywhere, just in the middle of the bottle if its near the edges they wont even bother climbing on the bottle
thanks mate ! this caught the rat within 2 hours ! tried store bought traps and the rat just ate the peanut buter without setting off the trap. BONZA !
loved the baby's laughter in the background!

I guess I am pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to stream new movies online ?
@Lennox Kayson Flixportal
@Zachariah Wallace Thank you, I went there and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it !
@Lennox Kayson Happy to help :D
The mice can walk the edge of the bucket. Then they have to reach for the can with a less sure footing. I've seen our mice get in the bucket without a ramp.
I was impressed that he used an old brace instead of a cordless drill.
Right ! He stays on brand.
Yes, but he doesn't know how to use it!
This worked! Thank you!
Thanks for the demo. Seems to be the easiest and most inexpensive method to catch mice inside the house.
I fucking saw a rat in my room!!!! I don't know why I'm scared because it's a little one, but holy shit!
HAHA, nice name too.
Me too
Nice idea, thanks :)

peter great job on your home made rat trap i made one 3 days ago and used peanut butter and rice and i have got 4 rats in 3 days so thanks
My favorite part is the child in the background. So cute
Adding an antifreeze/water mixture in the pail does three things:
1) They die quicker
2) Eliminates any stench
3) Works all winter
🤣😂🤣😂.
Lmaoooooo I LOVE THIS IDEA! 💡
but deadly to other pets
urban rewilding - and why would you place your pets in the areas where you set a live trap mouse? Do you hate your pets?

Thank you for taking the time to do the video. Will try it ...
what about if i put dish soap in the bottom so they can slip & not get away ? would that work
Me: when I find my 3 year old, licking the peanut butter off the rat trap... 🤔
thats why when I learned this a few years back it involved putting antifreeze in the bucket. worked like a charm.
I have rat(s) outside and in my wall. I bought a bail from Home Depot but will make 5-gallon trap tomorrow. Thanks for the vid. Good job.

anti freeze in the bottom.

That is pretty cool
Clever and simplistic!
Maybe add some scorpions to the bottom of the bucket
Dude that's hillariouse maybe add some scorpions to the buck hahahahah!
That's mean
Put Dawn dish washing soap on the bottom if you would like to release the rat. They can't get enough under them to jump or climb out. That's what I did at least.
That is an excellent idea, sir! Thank you!
I personally will put soft play sand in the bottom about an inch or two and then line the rest of the bucket inside with petroleum jelly and that keeps them from being able to hold a grip And get out. they just slipped down but when they fall they land on the soft sand

Hey i know this is old but the thing is timeless & works for mice too. I just made one & caught 2 mice instantly. I love your drill too👍
They cant climb out? They were alive?
How did they get up there did you use a ramp ?
OOOH MY GOSH THE BABY IN THE BACKGROUND!😂😂😂😍😍😍Too cute! thanks. gonna try this. think they're living under my back porch! yikes!
I heard a miky mouse laughing in the background.. :P
Thanks for the tips. I am going to modify the trap. i am also thinking of burying it flush with the ground.

Do the rats prefer crunchy or smooth peanut butter?

Don't know if this would work on larger Rats, but kudos to you for making this... Now thanks to your video, I need to go make a peanut butter sandwich, thanks Mr.Young...
Hey Galloe, YES it does work on larger Rats, I used a 50 Gallon Drum on Jungle Rats about the size of a Jack Rabbit.
I love your paracord ^_^
That's way too much peanut butter.... u making a sandwich or what ?????
"J.J. Muller" is the perfect golf name.

Way to much. Because mice and rats are smart. They will try to reach on that without stepping on it and how much pb he put on... they could do it. Ur suppose to just put it in the middle. Ur also suppose to put the piece of wood for them to walk on... next to the bottle, not across from it

You"ll be lucky to catch one. Rats are extremely wary and smart. they will either avoid or rob that peanut butter blind.
@ He could have put the container deeper into the bucket though right? So the mice jump down towards the peanut butter and roll off into the water.
The "SMART" ones don't survive my friends, SMITH & WESSON !

What douch.you unferstand he is getting tools that don't depend on electricity

Okay thanks for the advice
put enough water to ensure no foot holds and then spray all surfaces inside the trap (not the wire and spinner parts) with Pam or something to that effect so everything is slippery and it really helps if you have a taller bucket
i made one using a huge wheelie bin and then i loaded it into the back of my ute and then tipped them all into the river and watched them all get eaten by crocodiles :)
Soap the rim & inside the bucket, catch 10+ per night.
now that a great idea

No it can't jump out of it if the water is deep enough. The same way a person cant just jump out of a pool. Not even if you're an NBA player.

Yes i do understand the physic's behind the trap. I just don't think that the bucket is deep enough to be effective .And i doubt that adult rat's would fall for it. Baby rats maybe as they are pretty dumb. I also wonder why you didn't include the results in your video considering it was so effective overnight. ;0)
MickyMoz This isn't my video. And I used a bigger bucket. I also used a cut up PVC pipe instead of a bottle. But it's basically the same as this. Check this video Eimerfalle für Mäuse * Bucket trap * it's much more crude version of this but is just as effective.
thanks bro....awsome idea
If you put some cooking oil or something, just about an inch or so, in the bottom of it, it will make it too slick for mice or rats to try to jump out of it. Most can swim for long periods of time, and most mice and rats can jump amazingly high. Also, if you put a bit of water or other liquid, not too much, in the bottle, it will keep lighter critters (small mice) from managing to not spin the bottle. (I said "spin the bottle... *giggle*) This is a great trap! Thanks!
We need to make giant ones of these, put pizzas on them, fill them with water and catch all the idiots that think they need to release mice.
why don't we start making giant ones of those and shove morons like you that think you can kill a hungry animal
Rats are not vermin. That’s like saying dogs are because there are stray dogs
Just because something has adapted to live in a city doesn’t mean that the animal is vermin. Rags do carry diseases sometimes, but so do armadillos, cats, dogs, even humans. There are just a lot more rats so it seems like they are pests.
unless they are old and fat, they'll jump out in 2 seconds.
+Vercingetorige001 you need a taller bucket problem solved
they climb trees and walls of 20 meters.the professional traps here in Europe are closed and with water inside. this one in the video is useless
That's the reason behind 12" of Water in the bottom so they can't Jump Out.
I'm waiting for the catch!!! Please take n load for us to see. Tks.
I like that trap!!!,Thank you for sahring!!!
Did it work?
Wouldn't the rats just jump out ?
No cuz are going to be drowning
but if you put water they wouldn't
you cant jump while you swim, the guy in the video pointed out the more critical use of the water.
Why kill them? Save them and sell them to your local Chinese restaurants.

What's Chinese restaurant gonna do with em if the cooks are Mexican?
@@uyghurfalundafabs7234 That is not funny to even joke about.
Haha xd
Always use the right tools for any job...
2:00 YEAH!
I wish I could stomp out all the rats that eay my tomatoes. There would be no remorse.
I guess it didn't work. No fallow up video
It DOES work and is one of the most effective mouse/rat traps ever devised. I've been using this type of trap all my adult life and I am 57. But he is wrong when he says that water is "optional", because even small mice can jump out of this size bucket without enough water in it to make them buoyant. If you're trapping large rats then you must fill the bucket to nearly half full or they can get back out easily. They must be buoyant enough that they can't use their extremely powerful hind leg muscles to leap out. Mice and rats can jump great distances.
Please do not use anti freeze in place of water as some suggest because cats and dogs love the taste of anti-freeze and they will die a slow miserable death when they drink it.

wrong. it is illegal to sell anti-freeze that doesn't contain a bitterness additive, at least in the USA, to prevent pets from drinking it. google it.

This type of Rat / Mouse trap is the best and the deeper the bucket the more you catch without doing anything further most others only catch one at a time
Something interesting I saw from another video was a bowl of oil. It made the mice slippery so they couldn't jump out, maybe put a thin layer of oil in the bottom of the bucket so they definitely can't jump out.
I tried this and it does not work.
+rafael55 put peanut butter and rice it works well ive got 4 rats so far
+paul taylor Ok I'll try this Paul. Thank's
