    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

    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.

  • @jovosedlar

  • @BatColonyEvictor
    @BatColonyEvictor Před 5 lety +5

    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.

  • @goneutt
    @goneutt Před 6 lety +45

    Try washing your traps and re-oiling them with vegetable oil. Machine oils might be the scent upsetting the rats.

    • @davejan744
      @davejan744 Před 6 lety +10

      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.

    @Onlyonedch Před 6 lety +4

    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.

    • @davejan744
      @davejan744 Před 6 lety +1

      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.

    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).

    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!

    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.

    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

    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

    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?

  • @lettuce1626
    @lettuce1626 Před 6 lety

    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

  • @otherroach3609
    @otherroach3609 Před 6 lety

    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

    Shows us any attemp you made in trapping those darn rats. 😉

  • @nathanfielure4305
    @nathanfielure4305 Před 6 lety

    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.

  • @thegooseman05
    @thegooseman05 Před 6 lety

    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

  • @aPlatyperson

    It seems like the rats can smell your scent on the traps try cleaning the scent of and see if they will take it
