The mice are pretty close to breaking this trap. Having a fat mouse at the end of the log weighing it down will prevent the log from rolling and also having one on each side to counter balance the log could also work. I expect to see ninja mice no sooner than 3 generations time.
I wonder if you'd catch more mice if you sunk the bucket into the floor so the top of it was level with the floor and you didn't need a ramp. Maybe more mice would just jump or fall in when they see their friends having fun at the bottom of the bucket!
That Opossum couldn’t believe his luck! A couple of times it seemed like he was even looking around as if someone was playing a joke! 😅😂 Little guy was in mouse heaven and definitely waddling by mouse 5 haha!
There was a mouse plague in the wheat-fields of South Australia in 1980. An old friend up there had the bucket of water, ramp, and beer bottle (empty, of course) trap. He caught bucketfuls every hour, 24/7 for weeks.
@@raldbthar When leaving town at dusk, they swarmed across the road and were splattered under the tyres but they kept coming by the thousand. I was horrified that I might break down and be eaten alive by them. The road looked like it was covered in chewing gum. The millions of splotches were dead mice.
I could have used this years ago when I lived in a house with a mouse infestation. With five traps set out around the house (900 sq ft home) I would catch 20 in a week.
I just realized that this is the mice version of that one carnival or amusment park game where you have to balance on a ladder and get to the top without falling off. The mice look at the bar and think to themselves "it can't be that hard" when they see other mice fall down.

I must admit, I find it kind of hilarious that TH-cam actually goes after pest control videos lol This is genuinely one of the most effective mouse traps I've seen. Edit: Oh wow, Props for thinking of that way of disposing of the mice. My grandad used to use water traps but filled them with cheap wine lol That was his humaine way of doing it. After all it's a damn fine way to go out for a human let alone a pest. _(For context both my grandfather and I are Australian. lol)_
Is there any instruction on how to do this the best way? E.g. a particular drill size to use for the holes for the rod? Should the ends of the rod be fairly tight in the holes or should they be pretty loose so they roll as well? I'd be grateful for some tips from anyone who has done this with this exact rod with success. Tips for the ramp set Up would gear too. Thanks
This is my favorite trap. We had an infestation in our garage that were not responding to snap traps, glue traps,, or poison. With this - we caught 30 mice over the summer. We keep it set up in the garage, and we hardly ever seen even a single mouse anymore. Not even in the winter when they're most likely to seek the warmth inside.
Holy cow!!! 30 mice!!! I have mice in my garage (thankfully no where else cause there’s a cat inside) - since Wednesday, when I noticed a mouse scurrying across the floors, I’ve caught 9. And now I’m worried there’s more!! You caught 30!!!! That’s crazy!! I may have to set up a bucket trap like this to hopefully catch more! (Thanks)
"Don't go to that house, Jimothy, my boy. We used to like it back in the olden days. But one night, 30 of our folk went in... and they never came back."
I’ve bought 2 mouse traps like the one in this video and 2 flip & slide mouse traps because of your recommendations. I also have many other single catch mouse traps that have worked well for me over the last few years. There are about 9 out buildings, barns, and an old mobile home on my property and the mice start piling in after the crop is harvested each year.
Heads up CO2 isn't super humane if I remember right. It gives the feeling of suffocating and causes panic. Nitrogen is much more humane and I think they use it for other livestock too
Yeah it's pretty much the worst inert gas he could have used. Mammals use the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood as a signal to regulate breathing. Carbon dioxide is what causes pain when you hold your breath... Those mice died a painful death. Nitrogen would be completely painless, but it is not as convenient to acquire. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available in the same canisters as CO2, is commercially available, and is the opposite of painless.
Nitrogen asphyxiation doesn't work on rodents or lagomorphs like it does on other mammals. Also, high enough levels of CO2 don't cause the same panic response as exposure to lower levels, they overwhelm in the same way nitrogen or helium would. It's not that hard to acquire nitrogen though, most farm supply places carry it.
Pure CO2 would knock out the mice unconscious immedietly which other gases would not do. Pure Nitrogen would just have the mice be conscious the entire time they slowly asphixiate, which is far less human than just an immediete knockout. Nitrous Oxide would work however, but its more expensive.
According to FELASA standards here in Europe, CO2 is an accepted way of euthanising mice (and a few other kinds of lab animals) where they go into CO2 narcosis and do not asphyxiate in that sense. Still, most mice are euthanised by cervical dislocation
Simplicity works best. Rube Goldberg designs are fun to watch, but are far more expensive and far less effective. Still, it seems like there’s a bit too much friction on the center rod’s spin. Then again, maybe that allows the mice to get farther out to the middle of the log before falling off. What is your other favorite? The electronic walk-the-plank from Germany?
I would also like to mention that because the mice that fell were still alive it probably doubled the amount of mice Because mice are actually quite smart so they would be like oh I'll still be alive even if I fall like that guy over there.
I'm on a farm but this year we haven't seen too many rodents. Our neighbour next door has horses he also has a lot of little shelters for feral cats, I see them in our place so I'm sure they're keeping the rat numbers down.
At around 20 days gestation time, 4-7 weeks to reach maturity and huge litters, over the course of this channel, there are now probably more mice than when he stared.
Releasing them to the wild where they don't have the safety of your home, food to survive, and separated from their families is just as bad. Ain't no mouse gonna survive a night in the wild. Might as well humanely kill them off and let them get eaten naturally by other animals. Circle of life
My old-fashioned mouse trap was effective, humane and inexpensive. The mouse was killed instantaneously. Splat! Then I tossed the carcass into the dumpster.
I think that it's a bunch of BS that they removed the videos like that. They should have been grandfathered in. That's like saying MLB has to re-evaluate all of the World Series championships because they made a rule change.
That is awesome, feed the possums. I love seeing Opposums near my home, they are the most welcome visitor, they never make a mess, and are always polite.
Oh, no way. Especially with most mouse gestation periods being under 25 days, and 3-14 mice being born at a time, I doubt he'll ever fully "be on top".
It’s crazy you catch mice every week in your barn but it seems to do absolutely nothing to reduce their population as you always have a ton more to catch even after ‘dispatching’ the invasive house mice and feeding them to wild animals.
Herd thinning doesn't always produce noticable results, but prevents an exponential population explosion that would definitely be noticeable. A lot of states have to do it with whitetail deer after farmers decimated the wolf/coyote population over the last century.
@@josephzado2377 he’s trying to say it feels staged. Regardless, that doesn’t make his traps any less effective if his videos are staged. Let the man make his living, while teaching useful ways to dispatch of critters
@@frankyjrod5868 I don't care if he thinks it's staged. I know from experience that culling like this barely dents the population GROWTH of mice, much less their actual population. Calling it staged is just unnecessarily overdramatic bullshit.
Easier setup is use a common screen door spring, place slightly larger piece of pipe over it and attach spring ends to 5 gallon bucket handles. 4 or 5 inches of water. Depending peanut butter on center of pipe. Works for rats also, just add couple more inches of water.
Mice are always suckers for peanut butter. Many years ago I purchased a mouse trap and tried both cheese and chocolate in it, they ignored both. Tried peanut butter and I caught them all.
Also you can't tell those are mice on the ground out there that the pawsom is chewing on! Nice trap. That is so funny! Man i hope it keep working for you!
Shawn, when you used this trap previously you showed how making it a live catch trap was a bad idea. You know, when the two mice fought and one started eating the other one alive. How did you make them not kill each other?
Two enthusiastic feline mousers works pretty good too! But this is cool. They should try this in Australia, although they'd have to empty it out every five minutes.
@0:40 THEY ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE!!!! HAHAHAHHAH! Actually thanks to you Shawn I stopped using spring kill traps and using your design ideas I made my own trap out of a 2.5 gallon water jug, coat hangar and a 12oz minute maid bottle. I only filled it with water to a point where they didnt drown and I released them down the road into the field. Works like a champ!! Cheers fam!
Hey Mickey don't go there! It's a trap, you best beware! Hey Mickey! Hey Mickey! Oh, Mickey Traps and such you just don't understand, Humans want to kill you or else drive you off their land!

Imagine being a mice and seeing 20 get mice trapped in a bucket by standing on a rod and think, "Hmm. This is safe."
Easy to say the mice are dumb for falling for this when Americans still pay for American college LOL
@@Punkini there is an insane amount of propaganda in the school systems here, its not really a matter of stupidity as it is a matter of not being exposed to the other options
No mice died, until 26 were in the bucket. Smart!
....but youtube suggests that I watch navy SEAL sniper vaporize the head off a Somalian tax collector.
Sounds like vaccines to me.
I must admit, I find it kind of hilarious that TH-cam actually goes after pest control videos lol
This is genuinely one of the most effective mouse traps I've seen. Edit: Oh wow, Props for thinking of that way of disposing of the mice. My grandad used to use water traps but filled them with cheap wine lol That was his humaine way of doing it. After all it's a damn fine way to go out for a human let alone a pest. _(For context both my grandfather and I are Australian. lol)_
Dry ice is also good. Just put some dry ice in the bottom and they all suffocate when it evaporates. It doesn't even have to be very big.
Subject to how much ventilation the top of the bucket gets of course.
That sounds like it would burn their eyes and throat and lungs while they drown :(
Damn that's a weird thing to do to mice. Who do you think you- oh wait they're Australian.
Drowning is anything but humane lol
Is there any instruction on how to do this the best way? E.g. a particular drill size to use for the holes for the rod? Should the ends of the rod be fairly tight in the holes or should they be pretty loose so they roll as well? I'd be grateful for some tips from anyone who has done this with this exact rod with success. Tips for the ramp set Up would gear too. Thanks
This is my favorite trap. We had an infestation in our garage that were not responding to snap traps, glue traps,, or poison. With this - we caught 30 mice over the summer. We keep it set up in the garage, and we hardly ever seen even a single mouse anymore. Not even in the winter when they're most likely to seek the warmth inside.
a sack of cat s**t at the door also works well for the occasional mouse
Holy cow!!! 30 mice!!! I have mice in my garage (thankfully no where else cause there’s a cat inside) - since Wednesday, when I noticed a mouse scurrying across the floors, I’ve caught 9. And now I’m worried there’s more!! You caught 30!!!! That’s crazy!! I may have to set up a bucket trap like this to hopefully catch more! (Thanks)
"Don't go to that house, Jimothy, my boy. We used to like it back in the olden days. But one night, 30 of our folk went in... and they never came back."
I’ve bought 2 mouse traps like the one in this video and 2 flip & slide mouse traps because of your recommendations. I also have many other single catch mouse traps that have worked well for me over the last few years. There are about 9 out buildings, barns, and an old mobile home on my property and the mice start piling in after the crop is harvested each year.
Heads up CO2 isn't super humane if I remember right. It gives the feeling of suffocating and causes panic. Nitrogen is much more humane and I think they use it for other livestock too
Yeah it's pretty much the worst inert gas he could have used. Mammals use the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood as a signal to regulate breathing. Carbon dioxide is what causes pain when you hold your breath... Those mice died a painful death.
Nitrogen would be completely painless, but it is not as convenient to acquire. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available in the same canisters as CO2, is commercially available, and is the opposite of painless.
Nitrogen asphyxiation doesn't work on rodents or lagomorphs like it does on other mammals.
Also, high enough levels of CO2 don't cause the same panic response as exposure to lower levels, they overwhelm in the same way nitrogen or helium would.
It's not that hard to acquire nitrogen though, most farm supply places carry it.
Pure CO2 would knock out the mice unconscious immedietly which other gases would not do. Pure Nitrogen would just have the mice be conscious the entire time they slowly asphixiate, which is far less human than just an immediete knockout. Nitrous Oxide would work however, but its more expensive.
According to FELASA standards here in Europe, CO2 is an accepted way of euthanising mice (and a few other kinds of lab animals) where they go into CO2 narcosis and do not asphyxiate in that sense. Still, most mice are euthanised by cervical dislocation
@@francesmcstay
Of course that's how you feel, you're not the one being drowned.
Tom would be pleased. You caught Jerry's whole family. 😂😂
Simplicity works best. Rube Goldberg designs are fun to watch, but are far more expensive and far less effective. Still, it seems like there’s a bit too much friction on the center rod’s spin. Then again, maybe that allows the mice to get farther out to the middle of the log before falling off.
What is your other favorite? The electronic walk-the-plank from Germany?
Listen to the Video after 5:00 for your answer
@@mikeskidmore6754 - Ah, yes - I missed that. Thanks.
We need to come on here and watch these re-done videos a few times a week and boost up the views for Shawn.
I would also like to mention that because the mice that fell were still alive it probably doubled the amount of mice Because mice are actually quite smart so they would be like oh I'll still be alive even if I fall like that guy over there.
The possum being like :yay I love Mondays
I'm on a farm but this year we haven't seen too many rodents. Our neighbour next door has horses he also has a lot of little shelters for feral cats, I see them in our place so I'm sure they're keeping the rat numbers down.
Barn cats are definitely the best mouse traps.
True. There‘s a reason the ancient egyptians regarded them as sacred and gave them burials.
Mouseman: "I'll rescue you all. Hang on guys!"
(slipped in the bucket)
How about this policy? "If mouse traps bother you, don't watch mouse trap videos."

Yeah, as long as you don't drown them with it ...

@@lolzant397 but the wild animal eat the mice dead. how did he killed the mouse?
@@gc0009 he said it on the video, he used CO2
I can’t believe at this point with 700 traps around your house that you have any nice left to catch. Haha
He breeds them to test traps for videos lol 😂😂😂
At around 20 days gestation time, 4-7 weeks to reach maturity and huge litters, over the course of this channel, there are now probably more mice than when he stared.
It's like Disneyland with all the mice lining up for the ride.
Only this time, they are going for the ride of their life.
Exactly. I found that odd that they looked so hungry for that PB. 2 mice at a time. Maybe reproduction season?!
@@vishalp5586 They are actively looking now for a new and warmer home, for winter is near.
aw i really like this, a nice way to catch & release instead of just killing them... id cry seeing them floating in water :(
edit: .. well dang nvm
Lmao the edit
At least its better than drowning them :/
That went downhill real quick.
Your feelings are important......never
Releasing them to the wild where they don't have the safety of your home, food to survive, and separated from their families is just as bad. Ain't no mouse gonna survive a night in the wild. Might as well humanely kill them off and let them get eaten naturally by other animals. Circle of life
"Lets see what wild animals enjoy a mouse FEAST"
*Giant mouse-like opossum creature eats smaller mice*
didn't expect that 😂
I was waiting for it being another trap. And then he feeds the opossum to aneven bigger animal. Until the whole world is dead!
Wow. How funny seeing someone die
This is all win scenario. Highly effective, humane, and inexpensive
Pretty sure the only "dislikes" come from cats.
Is that because the opossum got the mice, and not them?
Hey. I like it.
And ... er, miaow?
Au contraire, I liked this video actually. Laughing at the dumbass mice is a pastime.
My old-fashioned mouse trap was effective, humane and inexpensive. The mouse was killed instantaneously. Splat! Then I tossed the carcass into the dumpster.
the other mice that saw the trapped mice were like "I won't fall too, I'm built different."
"Humanely dispatch" Haha. Suffocated!
I don't mind. I find it hilarious.
If the timestamps on the camera footage are correct, that wasn't even a whole night. That was 5pm-10pm. Crazy effective!
That or he literally caught all of them by 10pm and there was no more good footage.
Too bad about your old video. Love your dog by the way. We got out new puppy a few months ago. Thank you for posting this.
Shawn’s increased experience on trap placement is showing hard in this video.
TH-cam... REMOVED a video... about catching rats!!!! Let that sink in!!!
Showed my dad the original video couple years back we made a homemade version and it worked great in his shed.
I think that it's a bunch of BS that they removed the videos like that. They should have been grandfathered in. That's like saying MLB has to re-evaluate all of the World Series championships because they made a rule change.
That is awesome, feed the possums. I love seeing Opposums near my home, they are the most welcome visitor, they never make a mess, and are always polite.
Even better they eat ticks

With all the mice you catch, I can't believe you can't ever seem to get on top of them population wise.
I swear he releases them back into his barn.......
@@muskokamike127 you have no idea of the power of horny mice
May be he breeds many for videos
Oh, no way. Especially with most mouse gestation periods being under 25 days, and 3-14 mice being born at a time, I doubt he'll ever fully "be on top".
@@ArunG273 Spoken like someone who's never dealt with mice...
Legend has it Shawn is still spinning that rod every time he speaks
5:50 me late at night going to the fridge every 5 minutes to grab a snack
*"And were gonna feed them to wild animals"* that escalated quickly lmao
The mice did get much much faster over time. They seemed to be slowly figuring it out. Slowly but surely.
It’s crazy you catch mice every week in your barn but it seems to do absolutely nothing to reduce their population as you always have a ton more to catch even after ‘dispatching’ the invasive house mice and feeding them to wild animals.
Herd thinning doesn't always produce noticable results, but prevents an exponential population explosion that would definitely be noticeable.
A lot of states have to do it with whitetail deer after farmers decimated the wolf/coyote population over the last century.
@@josephzado2377 he’s trying to say it feels staged. Regardless, that doesn’t make his traps any less effective if his videos are staged. Let the man make his living, while teaching useful ways to dispatch of critters
@@frankyjrod5868 I don't care if he thinks it's staged. I know from experience that culling like this barely dents the population GROWTH of mice, much less their actual population. Calling it staged is just unnecessarily overdramatic bullshit.
He lives literally next to a forest
@@lucaswinsor4469 I didn’t ask what you care about. I was just giving context
Shawn killing any animal is unthinkable to me I'm glad you decided to make this one a no-kill trap.
Easier setup is use a common screen door spring, place slightly larger piece of pipe over it and attach spring ends to 5 gallon bucket handles. 4 or 5 inches of water. Depending peanut butter on center of pipe. Works for rats also, just add couple more inches of water.
Darttoyou1 thank you. I appreciate your variation.
The best thing to do would be taking that bucket and leaving it at YT headquarters... they would think twice before removing ur art...
I love how they just wait for their turn to fall in the bucket lmao
Mice are always suckers for peanut butter. Many years ago I purchased a mouse trap and tried both cheese and chocolate in it, they ignored both. Tried peanut butter and I caught them all.
Mother of the 26th mouse: "If all your friends jump in to the 'bridge'... would you"

Also you can't tell those are mice on the ground out there that the pawsom is chewing on! Nice trap. That is so funny! Man i hope it keep working for you!
2:18 Watching the mice pile up near the entrance to the log reminds me of Squid Game 😂
Wow I used to watch this channel before COVID hit. Then i changed my phone and haven’t seen this channel since. It’s nice to finally see it again
shawn has basically been doing squid games with mice all these years lmao
If you fail, you die. But if you succeed, you get to eat some peanut butter. :D
Shawn, when you used this trap previously you showed how making it a live catch trap was a bad idea. You know, when the two mice fought and one started eating the other one alive. How did you make them not kill each other?
he put food in it this time
@@Scooterbeerrun ah, that's why more mice kept dropping in even having witnessed the log rolling

No. Boring videos after a while.
Two enthusiastic feline mousers works pretty good too! But this is cool. They should try this in Australia, although they'd have to empty it out every five minutes.
Just have to remember to fish out the antechinus bi-catch, before disposal of the target murine catch
The possum is eating like a king. Every Monday, he gets a care package of mice.
That peanut butter is like Scarlett Johansson luring those guys into that trap room in the movie “Under The Skin.” X-D
@0:40 THEY ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE!!!! HAHAHAHHAH! Actually thanks to you Shawn I stopped using spring kill traps and using your design ideas I made my own trap out of a 2.5 gallon water jug, coat hangar and a 12oz minute maid bottle. I only filled it with water to a point where they didnt drown and I released them down the road into the field. Works like a champ!! Cheers fam!
That possum had the best night in his entire life. Got food for like 3 days and didn't even have to hunt for it.

Hey Mickey
don't go there!
