That's clever ...using an available cheap and sensitive trigger to close the trap door - I have been looking for a clever one and this one is ingenious - Thank You
I really like how simple this is, ive been looking to make one of my own and I like how you used the rat trap for the door release + spring for tension relief.
The trap mechanism is very clever and inventive..... Does it not clue the cat--I mean "prey"-- by its sound....? It could be isolated from the remainder of the cage....with a very thin bit of foam or fabric....
Thanks brother, I'll prolly teach my grandchildren this one day, uses only common items found around the house to! Was this for building a demonstration only, or has it been tested? Thanks for any feedback!
Please do a step by step build video including dimensions and supplies needed. Also you may want to add subtitles to this video as the wind picked up by the microphone makes the sound barely audible in several places. Otherwise good video. Thanks.
You can only catch large numbers of grey squirrels during specific times of the year. They prefer acorns to peanuts or peanut butter, so if there is an oak tree anywhere nearby, you probably wont catch many grey squirrels in the fall when acorns are plentiful. They have an insatiable appetite for acorns and will ignore peanuts when acorns are available. I've tried vacuuming my yard of acorns but that is a huge waste of time because many more fresh acorns will fall within 24 hours In the winter, they are not active in northern climates and leaving your trap set outside is usually a waste of time and energy, unless it is an unusually warm day. I have my squirrel traps in very close proximity to my bird feeders and that is probably why they are lulled into a false sense of security. They probably think with all the birds chowing down relentlessly, they have discovered the best free banquet in the neighborhood. In the last 6 years I have disposed of over 470 grey squirrels but I get most of them in the early AM in the spring and summer. If you are a late sleeper leave the trap outside over night and hope nothing steals the bait during the night. If you rise early, put the trap out at sunrise. Once it gets too hot outside they retire for the day. I seldom catch any grey squirrels after high noon. if you ever buy another squirrel trap, go with the Havahart model # 1083 EZ-set trap. That is the best trap for grey squirrels by a wide margin. But you have to buy it online. Lowes and Home Depot do not stock that trap for some crazy reason.

You bait & set the trap by spreading rumors that some school has a teacher who told her students about the meaning of Christmas. Or that a certain Clinic won't do late term abortions b/c the head Doctor doesn't believe in it. Then wait outside these locations (school, clinic) for the herd of protesters. Best time will be on a weekday around 1p.m. when everyone else is at work!
Greg Porche your making it way to complicated. I’m a lib and all u really have to do is put some chipotle inside lol. Don’t get me wrong, millennials in General love chipotle. u might catch a rogue republican millennial but u would probably disown and consider them a lib for eating evil “ Hispanic” food so I still think chipotle is your best bet.
The use of a rat trap is ingenious. Thanks for the vid.

You need a guard over the rat trap.Birds and animals crawling around on the trap can set it off...
Awesome. Bro definitely I go with it.

My favorite part is when the fish and game warden speeds in to issue a citation for illegal trapping.

How do you build a trap for liberals?
