    Hi Shawn,
    Here's an updated design from that I was introduced to in the 1980's. I was in a mouse infested house. My roommates older brother fixed us up with a 5 gallon bucket with a coat hanger pushed through the axis of a beer can set across the bucket mouth. Peanut butter was smeared on the can. Mice would make it to the beer can and fall into the water. The water needed to be deep enough so they couldn't touch the bottom. It worked great.
    Thanks for sharing the historical design and video.

    I used peanut butter bottle with a metal rod which runs through the middle which spins freely and laced with peanut butter. I set the trap at night and the next morning I got 5 mice. The lure of peanut butter seems to not to deter the other mice even though they saw their friends swimming frantically in the bucket.

  • @curtgeorge
    @curtgeorge Před 6 lety +33

  • @honantong
    @honantong Před 6 lety +2

    I found this to be the best. it basically has no limit on how many mice you can catch a night (if the bucket is big) but you need to modify it a little so the rat can clime on it from either end of the stick. You can use a long stick that connects to the bucket on both ends. So it's more efficient. :D also, the device is too small, otherwise you could have easily caught that giant rat :DDDDD

  • @mrfoltz
    @mrfoltz Před 5 lety +11

    We live in the city in a 100 year old house.. We see mice and mouse poop once in awhile, more poop than mice.
    I'm not sure if they're so dirty or disease ridden, but they chew through wires, and walls and crap everywhere, especially inside your heating ducts. (we have to clean them at least once a year). They make holes everywhere, inside cupboards etc..
    Squirrels can be pretty damaging as well.
    We've sealed every tiny hole we could find. We have all of our food, (flour, cereal, rice, pasta, coffee, etc.) in big gallon jars, and wipe off counters and the stove top with javex right away, we keep the garbage up, (because we have 2 dogs), but still have them because our winters are so long and cold. They will feed on traces of food or dishes not cleaned thoroughly.
    They do a lot of damage in your house if you do not get rid of or control them, and It's extremely hard to get rid of them humanely.
    I've met people who have had fires caused by them chewing wires.
    Also, my neighbour has 4 cats, they catch some, but she still sees mouse poop once in awhile....

      Gabriel Rodríguez Gutiérrez
      Its an acceptable variation of the shed analogy. In fact I'd argue that the tool shed analogy is a variation of the knife in drawer analogy. Because the latter makes more sense than the former. All knives are expected to be sharp to serve a purpose, whereas not all tools need to be sharp to be useful, e.g. A hammer.

  • @pup9et

    Rub Vaseline around the inside edge of the bucket, maybe even a little of the wooden dowel. Makes it impossible for them to grip anything.

    Smear a little peanut butter around the middle and you'll catch a bunch of mice. Or ground squirrels which is the problem in my area.

    That rat was pretty big. I had a barn on my property a couple years ago and used a metal hanger, 5 gallon bucket, and a prescription bottle that spun on the hanger. Same principle, without the paddles. I caught a lot of mice. They love peanut butter. A little anti-freeze keeps the water from freezing (not safe if you have pets).

  • @TimJSwan
    @TimJSwan Před 5 lety +1

    I think it would work better with a static friction threshold. Like, the spinner is normally "stuck" until enough force is on it, at which time it will suddenly rotate.

    Use a spring as the spindle and fill the bucket with 3 inch of treacle, we used a similar grav trap to this when we were kids, but used a 2" sink pipe with a 1ft mid section that pivoted down under the rats weight and into a dustbin and the pipe sprang back up with a small spring, set so a marble would set it off

    Tape an empty wine bottle neck to the end of a broom stick. Other end of broom stick rest on top of washing machine or table weighted down with brick or sandbag. Wine bottle end extending out like a pirate plank/diving board out over the floor. Under wine bottle end put large rubbish bin on floor filled with 15 inches of water. On the lower half of bottle body extending from neck out from end of broom stick you drip lots of cooking oil and at far end (being bottom of bottle) put some peanut paste or cheese. Mouse/rat walks out along the wooden broom stick from sandbag end to wine bottle then walks out onto slippery glass bottle to go for food and slides off falling in bin of water under the bottle. Rodents swim till too tired and drown cause can't put feet on floor of bin to push up. Old Australian farmer told me this. Easy. No fuss. Anyone can make it. Very successful. Works like a beauty. Broom stick, glass wine bottle (no label), duct tape, cooking oil and cheese/peanut. Bottle doesn't spin, rodent just slides off oily glass bottle. The bottle neck is taped to end of broom stick extending straight out from broom stick, basically extending length. So the mouse simply walks the plank to the slippery end and slides off. You could have the wine bottle end a little lower than the other sandbag end so mouse slips down along inclined bottle easily. Nothing spins, mouse just slips off bottle end into bucket of water.

  • @bodeine454
    @bodeine454 Před 5 lety

    I would probably try to add some round magnets to each flapper edge and then mount a round wooden disc onto the dowel rod with attracting magnets on it but attatch it so that it doesn't spin, then space the round disc away from the flapper to where it breaks away with the movement of a mouse on a flap. The more you pull the disc away the more sensitive it's going to be and the closer you move the disc the less sensitive!

  • @fred_derf

    Preety sure that this trap would violate the animal protection law in my country (Germany), so you couldn´t use it here. It´s allowed to use traps to kill rodents, but not to put them in unnecessary pain while doing so (as they are still verebrates, inteligent ones at that, and those are protected). Drowning them seems like a very slow and painfull killing method.

    Used to do this in the barn on the ranch i used to work on with a bucket, old can, a stick and peanut butter. Works better if the bucket is empty with peanut oil on the vertical part of the bucket. Then if you have a dog or cat it's great cause you can keep them alive and either train your pet to catch them or just move the mice to another location instead of just drowning them...
