    Plot twist: every time he releases a live mouse it runs into another trap off camera that kills it.

  • @Sir_Leelord
    @Sir_Leelord Před 6 lety +68

    U should make a mousetrap gauntlet course in the barn. Like set up all of your traps together and show us a 15 or 30 min video of trap footage

    It seems to me that a simpler trigger system would make this trap more practical. Rethreading new trigger strings every time would get old rather quickly. Still, it’s fascinating to see all these variations.

    I didn't expect this to work at all! I figured that the mice would be able to push through the strings fairly easily. I guess you could fix that by tying the strings on something like a cheerio in the middle. That way you don't have to rely on them chewing through the string. They would just eat the cheerio, which would release the string tied to it.

      Well, esthetically they're the same but looking closer, the mechanism is different, I would say my gramps did them himself, by his own creativity

    Shawn, I'm having problems with mice in the city in live in. What would be the best mouse trap I could order, I don't mind livetrap or deathtrap

  • @pilotandy_com
    @pilotandy_com Před 6 lety

    Seems like once you know the size of the loop, you could make a bunch to quickly switch out. Since you can just push them into the slots and you dont have to thread the strings. Very cool trap.

  • @tylerc1980
    @tylerc1980 Před 6 lety

    I would think you could set it up so they dont actually have to chew through the string. They would just force their way between the string causing tension that makes the trigger mechanism go off.

  • @koryaiine7393
    @koryaiine7393 Před 6 lety

    Dilemma on CZcams: all of my favorite CZcamsrs have ads on their videos, but every time the video passes over the yellow ad mark, I never see an ad. Not sure if I should be happy or sad, haha.

  • @aaroncameron1494

  • @twstf8905
    @twstf8905 Před 6 lety +2

    You could tie the ends of the string to a Cheerio or a Fruit Loop so the mice wouldn't have to chew through the string to trip the trap! 👍

  • @taurbaby
    @taurbaby Před 6 lety

    Im curious to know how they made string back in the day...have you ever considered making a trap completely by using materials and tools that would have been used during that time period?

  • @WiliamBennettwildarbennett

    I used to build these as a Rabbit Box was a kid in North Arkansas back in the 70's and have caught many rabbits as well a a skunk or two and possums to.
    The kind we made had trigger stick and hook end to the trap door.

  • @edwardvarby4363
    @edwardvarby4363 Před 6 lety

    Might be interesting to design traps that use Cheerios as triggers. EG with 2 loops of thread through it. When the cheerio breaks, it triggers.
    Where did the mouse on top at the end come from? Did the released mouse come back? Or is it a pet mouse?

  • @singleman1986
    @singleman1986 Před 6 lety +2

    I've made a couple of versions of these 'string chew' traps. They work best when you smear a LIGHT coat of peanut butter on the string. Hope this helps.

    Maybe you could just drill holes and thread the string with a needle like some of your other traps and eliminate the grooves so the mice don't have a starting point to chew their way out.

  • @LexTheLionLocc
    @LexTheLionLocc Před 6 lety

    My problem is they crap alot and make so much nasty mess after they're caught. If you are going to be reusing live traps and handling them, do you just let all that nastyness build up? Or do you clean it once in a while. If it's the latter, this kind of trap seems horrible to clean so would it not make sense to implement some sort of " easy clean " design like a pull out tray?

  • @fred_derf
