You know it's an effective trap when there's a bloodstain left behind.
That squirrel didn't get trapped, it got CLAPPED.
I dont even have a rat problem, these videos are just interesting to watch
Instantly Hope agreed!
Same
Yea I agree
same XD
The fact I enjoy watching people torturing rats plus I watch live feeding with big lizards 😭😭😭😭
The rats might be smelling you from the trap, give it a good wash with just water then wear gloves when you're setting it. You might wanna leave it baited but not set for a week, get them used to it, then set it with a real hair trigger
They smell the metal for sure
Yep. Fur trappers boil there traps to remove any scents from it.
as a former trapper, you are correct and use a cover scent..such as a natural earth scent or rat musk.
Alternatively, just make the who area smell like you - start pissing everywhere in your chicken coop so that your smell is on EVERYTHING.
@@oaksparoakspar3144 just pee everywhere!!!
LMAO😂😂😂
You are correct, but I had a vision of a Drunk wetting down the Chicken Coop and it struck me as ridicules!
Those damn rats. Must find a way to get them. Can't wait to see them caught.
Sourdough Girl lmao true af
Shawn should just adopt them
Of course the cat wants this
They aren't that smart, more just skittish. Does he de-scent the traps?
he should just turn himself into a pickle, its super effective.
Always remember to wipe the trap down with cold wood ash.
Edit: Conibear traps which are used by professional trappers operate quite similarly to this one. Before using the traps they are boiled with logwood ash to remove oil from the manufacturing process and human scent.
It makes all the difference.
you need to have that trap lay around for a week or two until the rats get used to it. unbaited will cause less suspicion forgive my english good luck
He may be right about that. Rats are VERY suspicious of new things. Let them get used to the presence of the trap.
Rats may be able to outsmart a trap, but I've yet to see one outsmart a bullet.
Best read in Heavy's voice. Obviously.
yeah, I'd love to take an air rifle for an overnight hunt in Shawn's barn...
This made me chuckle. 😂
KOROsho
Just don’t miss or the rat will wait in a high place and attack your face
You also don’t want rats to see you kill other rats they are very good at taking revenge
We use these traps (and larger Koro traps) in our Wildlife Damage Control services frequently. These smaller traps work well for squirrels and rats that are traveling through the gutters, especially under leaf gaurds. The rodents then have perfect tunnels to run through, and from which to chew holes into the home or business. Place a few of these inside the gutter, on either side of the entry/exit hole, and "SHAZAM!" You'll catch the critter coming or going, no bait necessary.
Try washing your traps and re-oiling them with vegetable oil. Machine oils might be the scent upsetting the rats.
Matthew Trzcinski , Thats true! Trappers have to boil their new traps clean & then again in woodchips or pine tree needles from the area theyre trapping in. Also putting the scents into the hot melted boiling wax pot in the last step to weatherproof/lubricate em. The wildlife is WAY too smart to get near anything that smells "out of place". Some trappers just put the wax on top of the boiling water & being lighter than water it coats the traps being pulled out to hang/dry but that leaves water droplets on the metal UNDER the wax coating that rusts & spooks the critters. Rust oders coming through the wax also tips off the critters. Good trappers boil off their factory oils, reboil em in scented water, dry compleatly & then drop the traps into the scented boiling wax & letting them set til the wax is smoking before pulling them out to drip off the excess & dry. Then handeling the traps w scented gloves when setting them to keep all human scents off them.
Hey Shawn. I was working on a smart rat that got into my home for over 6 months and nothing worked until I put a leg-hold trap under sand in a box with some bait spread all over the sand. A piece of tissue with a thin layer of sand was over the trigger pad. I lashed the trap to a can of paint with thick copper wire and then set up another snap trap nearby as I expected the rat to bounce around and hoped it would fall onto the snap. It worked perfectly with the leg latched in the leg-hold and its head in the snap trap. The rat tried to chew off the copper wire before being garrotted as all the insulation on the wire was shredded on the floor. I slept well that night.
Wow! That was a good set-up.
You should seriously make a how-to video on that.
For those rats: Spring loop snare right in the passage they've been using to get through that fence. They seem to be on a habitual route, so that should be their weakness.
Do it. End them.
I would prefer landmines
Who ya gonna call? Squirrel Hunter Channel
You may need to hire the Squirrel Hunters to take care of those rats!
WillieRants
Eyyyyy, another Squirrel Hunter fan!
Yup!
WillieRants me too!
Where’s Elmer Fudd when you need him?
It was a joke and a node to the Squirrel Hunter Channel.
Shawn when the trap hit his thumb:
- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
- Aaaaahhhh!
- Ah!
Time to get an air rifle and take 'em out. "This time it's personal ".
OSOK
Thank you for all the videos you have put out. You are my #1 channel to watch.
I don't know if you read your comments but I have the same trap on my channel and I found the best way to make sure that rats and other critters don't steal the bait is install a metal grate on the back. A while back Kroger had these hot dog grill grates that work perfectly. Just got to get a metal cutter, some pliers, and some zip ties and nothing will steal your bae again. Also note don't be like me and forget it out in the rain cause it rusts really quickly. But this is a great trap. Took out a ton of squirrels that where killing my garden.
Dch 75 , A rat trap screwed about a foot up from the ground to the side of a tree baited w peanut butter works great for squirlls. Make sure the snap bar is on the downside. Busts their lil skulls. If you want to make sure theyre not pulled out by other predators put wire nails up through the bottom of the wood just inside the snap bars strike zone. Can put wire snares up a leaning pole w the snares hanging just above the leaning pole & catch a whole family if the snares are placed properly. Coat hanger wire works great for the snare hangers. Run peanut butter up the length of the top of the snare pole. Dont need much just a smear for scent.
hey Shawn try boiling the trap in nut hulls it stains the trap and removes odors also use rubber gloves so that there is no human scent, and bury the trap in a cubby hole it will still be effective but they may not shy as easy
I can’t wait to see what catches those rats!
Shawn Woods you make very good videos, keep up the good work!
I don't think i've ever been so interested in mouse traps. Subbed!
Love your videos!! My Son and I have recreated a few of your traps and had a blast!
As for the thumb- drill through the nail with a micro drill-bit to relieve the pressure, that way you won't lose the whole nail. (plus it feels soooo much better)
You can also heat up a needle to the same effect
I LPVE YOUR CHANNEL SHAWN THANKS FOR MAKING ME HAPPY EVERY TIME I WATCH
Another great video; many thanks. Yup, rats can be really hard to get. Usually I will put bait around the trap but not on the trigger for several days before setting it up for a catch.
Guess you could say you nailed it! Thanks for your time and effort,
The low spot must be when the rats come out & start taking selfies with that thumb. Looks sore, did you say 'Oh dear'?
Yeah, I'll bet that's what he said! :-)
For some reason old people find it amusing to throw stale bread, old food, snacks on their back porch to watch the squirrels.
Then get a rodent problem in the house.
Hello Shawn Woods, this traps is very alike the small bear traps I use to hunt for local edible rodents. I've found that sticking the peanut butter -UNDER- the trigger plate will force the rodents to step on it to get to it. It never has failed me.
Thank you Shawn! I Love your videos!
That squirrel kill looked brutal even with you editing it.
wanted to see some rat brain splat open, not squirrel, Shawn please try to get those rats!
Hosni Adnan youre ill.
Thank You 👏 Why a squirrel should off had just left it in the same place.
Your not ok, to say the least
I am no expert on catching rats, but my grandfather used to use large wooden base snap traps (giant mouse traps). He would buy a can of sardines and feed the sardines to the cats and then coat the trap with the oil brine from the can, for bait he used ground corn cattle feed with molasses cattle supplement pellets. After he caught a rat he would soak the trap in boiling water, dry, and recoat with sardine brine and reset. He was very successful with this setup he usually caught two rats a day per setup (black Norway rats).
Hi there great video as always. Is it possible they can smell the oils on the trap. On some of the programs I’ve seen they boil the traps to remove oils and scent of humans etc then only touch them wearing gloves. Might be worth a try....
C02 rifle. low noise, very accurate if you get the right model. Very fun!
Have you tried the scent destroying spray for deer hunting to remove alerting odors from the traps for the Norway rats?
I having trouble with the critter snatching stuff without stepping on pan. I even but a cup on the bait stick and the critter has chewed off the plastic but still not stepped on the pan.
Shawn, interesting to see the fails so I'm glad you included it.
So, how about the bucket with revolving lid, which trap is best?
“The rats around my place are very trap shy.” Hahahahahahahahaha
I can’t imagine why Shawn!?!
Always great content, thanks!
PS there is a rat problem near a dumpster on my dog walking route and they have set up two trash cans filled with water, set with rolling log style traps. Haven’t seen anything inside yet but I knew what the trap style was because of your educational videos. Please keep making them! Hope your thumb heals up quick!
I was wondering if he was gonna stick his finger into this trap lol.
The Koro trap is very versatile. Next time put the Koro inside the hole they were using in the video. I still bait them but in this case it really isn't necessary because they have to use the trap to get out. Works great that way. Also, because of the versatility you can attach the Koro over holes up high, like in the eaves of homes, using some screws and hardware cloth. This trap is fantastic!
Wanna catch greasy rats? Yes BACON GREASE
is the lever not a problem in the trap? if the animal comes from the lever side the lever wil hit it bfore the killbar
I can’t wait to see how you take care of those smart rats.
Shawn Woods. I love your videos. To-the-point delivery, and you summarise the DIY portion in a way that is enough for normal people to go and explore building these things on their own, allowing for creativity as well.
The question I have based on my experience: are some mice/rats smarter than others? I've lived in big cities and the rodents there I think Norway rats, which are a bit larger than mice but look really similar and are very smart. I don't think they will fall for many of your traps, or will they? I read in some forums that they won't get anywhere near a trap if they smell traces of humans which means you will need to wear gloves to avoid that. can you bust this myth for us please :). thanks.
And I thought Shawn hasn't seen this Koro Trap... When he even broke his thumb bone with it...😱😱
The rats by us are very smart. They have figured out how to take bait without tripping the trap. I ended up blocking it's entrance with a live trap. It avoided the trap and went in a different way. So I can't wait to see some rat trap videos.
I purchased this trap and a conibear trap. I built similar boxes for both traps. I've never caught a rat with the koro but have caught MANY Squirrels. The conibear trap caught the MOMMA Norway rat. I was mortified when I caught that beast. Conibear set at top of hole in ground, w sunflower seeds at the bottom FTW. SHABAM!
I've found using a victor mouse trap with some peanut butter and crushed peanuts as bait works pretty well. Caught a few rats in my garage that way.
Do you do anything to mask your scent on the trap? Maybe the rats smell you on the trap? Just an observation. Keep up the great videos Shawn!
Have u thought about a conabear 110 modified with a pice of cardboard too act as a pressure plate and buried with sawdust?
Cool video Shawn. As the action happens so fast I played the video back at 0.25 speed and did frame by frame by stop, start method real quick click to catch the frame the rodent got hit on the left side of it's head. The kill bar could be a bit longer less chance of missing.
And now, the end is near. And so I face, the final kill bar.....
BarackBananabama
my friend... I'll smell it clear... I'll leave the cage... wich smells like peanut...
You heard the sexpistols cover of this?
I'm anxious to see the Mascall Spring Trap with 9 holes in action!! Haha
Satomi Oikawa 😍😍😍😘😘😎
This is a very interesting item. Should be a part of every ALONE person's grabber trapper. Maybe even have bigger for a bear-snap trap and keeping intruders away...
Love your channel, rats are super cautious/neophobic , a wooden tunnel to protect chickens with a Fenn trap (uk) or Ive seen coyote trap on u tube buried in dirt or sawdust in the box might work. i always prebait traps for 3-5 days with rolled oats all over the trap, rats love it . When i set trap rolled oats sprinkled on trap pan onto mix of cooking oil and peannut butter works as oats stick to mix and rats have to work at it. if you make a small wooden tunnel with a small trough for the trap so rats cant see the covered trap (and its level with floor of tunnel) then you should get a good result. Also seen a few posts for A24 traps people have not caught on the supplied bait but changed bait in pot for fish meal, Carp fishing bait etc and had good success, keep up the good work
For smart rats. I use a fenn trap . Dig shallow hole big enough for the trap. Cover with tissue kitchen towel then cover lightly with soil just enough to cover the towel , sprinkle the bait . You will get the smart ones, I guarantee. Thanks for all your videos.
To relieve if you have pain in your thumb just take a really small drill bit and by hand drill just through the center of where the blood circle is under your thumbnail, that takes the pain away by relieving the pressure that is built up under the nail
I really love your videos don't stop I just can not get enaught
What if you covered the metal, on the top and sides with wood and buried the bottom part in dirt?
Is there a way to get a link to the footage that was taken down from CZcams?
Hey Shawn have you tried setting the traps with rubber gloves on? I heard somewhere that some animals are cautious around items that have human scents on them. Just a thought
The link in the description for full version doesn't work comes up as 'Video unavailable' :(
Might be a little expensive, but if you are able to set up covertly in the barn with a night vision scope on an accurate pellet gun, you may get the upper hand on the Norway Rats. There's a channel where a guy uses this method on his farm.
Is it possible that you would have norways and woodrats both in your house? I haven't been looking that closely, but so far have caught about 7 rats IN MY HOUSE over about 2 months. The last one had a velvety tail.. Do you find one or the other easier to catch? One of my neighbors seems to be piling bags of garbage in his back yard.. Hate the idea of calling the city on him but...
I might suggest using tootsie rolls on the trap. I set a mouse trap with it and within an hour I cought a mouse . It worked well.
Those freakin rats bruh, too damn smart. Get em Shawn, get em good!
ZEUS oftheAEGIS one of them is even a chef!
Good luck trying to find one to buy.
I know you probably won't see this but can you explain to me what I'm seeing in the unedited footage?
It looks like the ground squirrel's head doesn't get caught but it's foot does.
Did the trap hit it on the back of the neck?
Hey Shawn, maybe use a trap boil on metal body traps like that to season the oil smell out of them?
If your finger starts bothering/causing trobbing pain, you can pierce the nail to relieve the blood clotting underneath. But make sure you dont get it infected (considering what you handle with your hands, you should be extremely careful)
Do you think it would have enough power to kill a bager?
I hate to be the one to tell you but those ain’t ground squirrels those are grey squirrels
Now i'm hooked ! Will he get those rats !!! not sure who im rooting for !
What bait do you use for these traps ?
I will follow your Norway rat saga with inclined interest.
enjoy watching your trap keep it up
Those rats deserve a scholarship.
Would be funny if you added some purple decorations on your youtube thumbnails for the next couple months or so.
I think a large snap trap buried just below the dirt surface in front of the rat's tunnel will do the job.
no bait required.
I would even go as far as burying several of the large snap traps around the rat's tunnel's entrance.
It's bound to step on one of them. what it does not see will not bother it, plus dirt on top of the trap
may even cover the smell.
How can you guard against attracting non-target animals/pets?
I used to have Smart rats and how I caught them was I got a 6 gallon tall bucket and buried it flush to the ground and put a board over it. Then I filled it with used cooking oil
Two parts. My grandfather would always throw traps in a fire to remove the smell of blood and humans. Could you run a slow motion video on the termination video. Did it snap its neck if it did I assume the squirrel's reflex pulled him back.
what if you cover the trap with mud, i think it is smelling you sent on the trap and is avoiding it.
Did you ever figure out the Norway Rats? I haven't run into you successfully catching one yet
It shows how intelligent those rats are - maybe they can smell a difference scent on the traps which makes them cautious. Maybe with those rats you need to do some kind of switch, have a "feeding" station there for a couple of nights so they get used to it, then place an armed trap that is similiar in size/position. Either way, interesting video - keep up the good work.
Try conibear 110 traps for those rats. It has a more open design and that might make the feel safer. Also try dunking the traps in dye if you get them new. Are the rats scared of the traps themselves, or is it your scent that is scaring them?
I thought this was the one where you got a hole in your thumb... How DID you get that?
Shawn with brown rats you gotta be really patient. All you gotta do is leave the traps out for a week or so so the can get used to it, then BAM! If you keep shuffling the traps around you are just restarting the process
when is the 9 hole trap gonna be set up
are you whiping down these traps before you set them? they might be able to smell you on it.
I think to get those rats a traditional deadfall trap might work. A nice big slab 😁
I give it a thumbs up just because it gave me a laugh that the guy got nailed by his own trap.
Why did the A24 not work? I was under the impression that a carcass would simply drop and be carried away by a predator. Is is due to the fact that some rats saw a comrade die? Or was it due to how the A24 was placed too low to the ground?
Dude, I was still super scared for when I saw the squirrel coming closer to the trap, I knew how powerful the trap was (not because. I have it, I just know its super strong) and I don't usually get scared when I see a rodent die from Shawn's traps
Try using that same trap but boil it and throw it out side for about a week. I deal with Norway rats , same thing with the regular victor snaps. You have to get that factory smell of it make it more neutral, but I’m probably telling you things you know. Great videos man
Sir, you need a playlist.
Shawn vs. The Rat
Shows us any attemp you made in trapping those darn rats. 😉
I read somewhere that rat traps should be raised off the ground, like hang on the wall or something so the rat will have to be on two legs to reach the bait, they get off balanced and will trigger the trap more easily.
Shawn woods i got an suggestion of how to catch an smart rat like norway rats, put some bait that they really like on the front of the trap like spring trips, it will get comfortable and not afraid if you keep doing that
It seems like the rats can smell your scent on the traps try cleaning the scent of and see if they will take it
