That style of mouse trap is very common here in SE asia. Reminds me of when I was a kid my dad used to roast some coconut meat for bait. That roasted coconut reaallly smells good. Man, good ol' times..
Fyi we also have larger traps just like this mainly used for porcupines, ferrets, mongoose, bandicoots and sometimes the thalagoya (Asian water monitor).
Interesting fact: I'm a Vietnamese born and raised here. I've seen this exact design of trap used for many years throughout my life back in 2005 even, maybe even earlier. So it's not exactly a new design, I'm a bit surprised that I still see this trap being used till this day. And it was super cheap back then.
Also a Vietnamese, It’s kinda weird to see that the trap is quite expensive because in here hand made traps like that are pretty cheap. I used to have one and it was bigger than this but didn’t cost quite as much.
Why are you surprised they still use these kind of traps? It's pretty effective. I have a smaller version and there's no locking mechanism. It is pretty good tho. I might add the locking mechanism later.
What i was going to say, It wouldnt take much just a few more pieces for a better revision, Others here have already said after a while they learn to avoid it, i would also extend the inner hook lower to make it even easier for then to snag the bait
Also it might help to shorten the top wire. It seems as the trigger needs to be pushed up and forward to trigger when its like this. A bit shorter wire on top would keep the inner wire more backwards, allowing it to release when the mouse pulls the bait.
Showing how fast these critters are, I watched the video one frame at a time. From the time the door snaps shut, it takes 3 video frames for the mouse to be at the door to escape. That is incredibly fast. No wonder they escape any trap that is slow to ensnare them.
I've had one of this for the last twenty years. We have strange combination of norwegian and local rats over here. Those buggers grow really big, but that trap has never failed me. An excellent investment.
That's a very standard and ubiquitous trap in my place but I never knew it's called a Sri Lankan mouse trap. It's quite effective but only for several usage. After a while other mice and rats will avoid the trap. Currently, there's a really plump mouse that's becoming a nuisance in my house and my sister next door. So far it avoided the Sri Lankan trap and sticky traps we've set up.
WOW ! 1.5 million subscribers.. good job Shawn, like I have said before . Who would have ever thought you could become popular or make $ catching mice n rats . Thank you fir your efforts 😎
They sell these here in LA with a direct hook trigger without the exposed link up top here in the Asian markets for $5. Works well too. I think I caught at least 6 in 4 days, including a 2 for 1 huge roof rats who both got greedy when I put in peanut butter.
Over 20 I've seen this style fail only once (the mice was to small and wiggle out from the wire gap) other than that it's really great not just for Sri Lanka but here in India and our neighbours like Bangladesh to
This type of trap reminds me to the once my parents used when I was a child, and reading all the comments it is quite interesting how it is very common in SE asia, I’m from the SE part of Mexico.
I saw this upload exactly one minute after release in my notifications. I'm watching exactly thirty minutes after I saw it and while writing this comment it became thrity one minutes late
I bought 2 very similar traps off amazon, the only difference is the trigger goes all the way to the floor instead of stopping mid air, and connects to a trigger on the floor. These are awesome traps. Have got mice, rats, Lizards, birds, and a squirrel. The Squirrel was very hard on the trap, Squirrels need a more robust trap. I highly recommend this style of trap used with peanut butter if you have mice or rats. They are about $17 USD on amazon. They saved my garden!
Have you done a video on what is an invasive mouse and what is native to specific areas? I live in Michigan's Northern lower peninsula. What is native and what are the invasive species of mice?
Thanks for sharing on MM. Seems like that ole Funky Skunk gets the "Treats" more often than the others. Then who comes lumberin in, lookin for what's making that smell? Yeah, OlePossum.. . Tks again! Take Care and Stay SAFE!!
trap looks great but it could use improvement on to make movable shield on top and the trigger inside could be bent at a 45degree angle toward the back upwards to help with effectness of more pulling the trigger.
I got a couple traps like that from ebay ( much less expensive) - but with a trigger on the floor of cage - other wise the same style. I caught a bunch of rats with it. Also caught sparrows by accident with it - they went in for the bait in daytime .
Lionel here in central California. I have a trap like this but much nicer. It has a foot plate trigger mechanism. Had some rats get in my house. I was ticked. I cought 3 in 3 days and that was the end of them, to my relief. For some reason it doesn't seem to work outside. I think it might be because they have other food sources. Keep up the good work.
It would work for rats if it was upscaled, that would definitely be a good rat trap, because it's wide open. You just have to put a roof on the top so the rats don't accidentally trip it.
I wonder if the trap were larger and had walls in it like a very simple maze with bait at the dead ends if by the time a mouse gets to the end and trips the door there might be several mice inside eating at various spots. Could be a way to trap multiple mice with a single trigger and door.
This is not specifically Sri Lankan. They're commonly used by wildlife poachers all through Southeast Asia. In my conservation project in Vietnam we run a few antipoaching teams and these are the third most common type of trap we find in the forest.
I have something similar. It cost me 8 euros. And it doesn't have the locking mechanism and it is much smaller. The spring is much longer too. It is pretty effective, but this one looks much better.
This thing is sold everywhere here in Vietnam and I had no idea what it has to do with Sri Lanka lmao. From my experience, it will work like once or twice, and the mouses will never enter it again. Probably the smell or something, cleaning it could sometimes help
Flashback to that one time I decided to drown a rat in a bucket of water, caught in this trap (because snap trap is apparently not a thing in my part of the world), and the rat decided to try bite his way out. OFC it failed to escape, and it died while biting the cage. Still remember how I felt trying to remove the rat from the trap. Thankfully, I never needed to use the trap again.
Place some old newspaper, old printout from your office, old magazine, or kitchen towel on the ground. Shake the cage violently to stun the mouse. Check that it isn't moving. Quickly open the door and dump the mouse on the paper. Carefully fold the paper to cover the mouse, taking note of the exact location of its head. Then step on its head with your heel. You will feel the skull giving way. DO NOT stomp on it. Cleanup would be more difficult. PS: of course, wear rubber gloves and DON'T do this barefoot. Sometimes, the paper would leak. You don't want that on your skin. These days, I prefer to use lethal traps. Cause I am lazzy.
You should not 'Publish' your videos until TH-cam gets done processing them. Had to watch this in 360P instead of your usual 1080P. I upload videos to YT, as PRIVATE .. then wait for YT to finish before making the video Public. I've had to wait as long as 10 hours for some 4K videos for all resolutions to show up. YT has just been going down hill for the last several years when it comes to processing videos.

Long time subscriber, didn't ever think something from home would show up here. Very endearing. Thank you Shawn

@@MrAllmightyCornholioz sure I guess, I myself am not religous but thank you
There is a variation of this made with perforated steel sheets. It also has self locking doors.
now that you mention it, that DOES sound familiar.....

His voice is honest so calming,idk why im on mouse trap youtube but im here for it, its pretty cool
Never imagine seeing this classic trap in this channel xD
This mouse trap style had been mass produced in indonesia since 70 🤭
I’m guessing 1970 and not the year 70
🤷♂️
@@cumunist2120 yes since 1970 😂
Yea it doesn't originate from here but we use it a lot (Sri lankan here)
We used these in NZ (larger cage) for catching opossums in the 1950's and probably even earlier.
Possum (probably): "Huh, the 'free mouse buffet' sign is up, but where's the mouse?!"
You’ve got to get there early to beat the skunk.
You could probably fashion something over the trigger wire on top so the mouse can't set it off my climbing on it.

Feral cats are terrible pests. They kill many native creatures.
@@grantadamson3478 so do humans
Maybe it was picked up by animal control.
@J doll fire alarm im not getting one
Essssaaaa mousetrap mondayyy 🥳(On Friday)
I love those pet rats/mice!
The mouse in fear when it hears “this is a non native invasive species”

for 5 dollars? that's too much. in my currency it would be Rs.900. for me it cost only 1 dollar in your currency.

The mice getting heart attacks when the trap closes
Shawn ok you did great
This type of trap reminds me to the once my parents used when I was a child, and reading all the comments it is quite interesting how it is very common in SE asia, I’m from the SE part of Mexico.
This also very common in Egypt with a different spring (coil springs) from inside , it’s the only trap we widely use here.
I don’t even have a mouse infestation and I’m amazed by these well done videos, keep up the amazing work!
Shawn: you're a non native species...
Mouse: I do tricks...I poop...hmmm I test devices.

We got this type of mousetrap in Malaysia too.
Just got an ad of a mouse trap, The slip n slide. Its using your footage. im trying to report but i cant find The option to do it
2:10 me when school

360p ?
yeah i wonder why
I get 480p and am not allowed to change.
Me too, unable to change
Hy shawn. Yep In my place this trap is common Shawn. Sctually in Indonesia to be precise. Maybe some south east asia too.
add a removable plastic case on top of the trap on top of the trigger bar
Skunk nads.
Ikr
It would work for rats if it was upscaled, that would definitely be a good rat trap, because it's wide open. You just have to put a roof on the top so the rats don't accidentally trip it.
Smart! Good for single mice coming in!
Nice spring!
glad to see a sri lankan product .....

This is not specifically Sri Lankan. They're commonly used by wildlife poachers all through Southeast Asia.
In my conservation project in Vietnam we run a few antipoaching teams and these are the third most common type of trap we find in the forest.
We have this in the Philippines too!
Do wild mice not figure out new things in the barn should be avoided?
Do the pet mice get combat pay and worker's compensation?
The skunks are getting a feast almost every monday
I'm even shying away for the back end of skunks on video…
I have something similar. It cost me 8 euros. And it doesn't have the locking mechanism and it is much smaller. The spring is much longer too. It is pretty effective, but this one looks much better.
Man, this one is from my country!!!! hahaha I had one. We use burnt coconut pieces as bait. Once caught two mice at once!!!
This thing is sold everywhere here in Vietnam and I had no idea what it has to do with Sri Lanka lmao. From my experience, it will work like once or twice, and the mouses will never enter it again. Probably the smell or something, cleaning it could sometimes help
Nice trap! You should put more dead mice near the bear.
use them here in the UK only thing the door springs rot and break after a short while

Mousetrap monday? More like mousetrap friday 😂😂
He post every monday and friday
Yeah cause of time zones
Hey cheers from Sri Lanka
why 360p?
I used to live in Sri Lanka it was wild man
what do mean?
I really enjoy the wildlife videos. I am always shocked at what shows up.
Charred cassava is the best bait for rat, mice and bandicootrat
came here to check where spring is hooked.. coz yesterday one mouse unhooked it from inside and got out lol... Evolution is really scaryyyy!!!
Does it also work on the Mexican staring frog of southern Sri Lanka?
I thought frogs only eat moving prey.
Hey Shawn, what happened to your alcohol trap video? Shows as private now even though it popped up on my recommended.
When is the Mau5trap Monday cross over?
The way you cut the footage on the night time camera made it look like you left and were followed right away by a skunk
2 days ago it was Saturday so why not mouse trap Saturday??
i have one of these but has a pressure plate instead, only ever caught one mouse with it lol.
youre fishing for mice! awesome
early mouse catches the bait
I use the trap in standing position. The mouse/rat tries to pull out the bait while keeping their back foot on the edge. I never miss the mouse.
What size are the squares on the mesh? I'm looking for a chew-proof cage topper for my live caught, that they can't squeeze out if
i got something similar but its bigger for relocating possums
Happy rat trap Friday!
How did you humanely dispatch it?
That looks like something that's also available in wet and dry markets in manila, philippines
I wonder if it would catch Mexican Staring frogs.
Only the southern Sri Lankan variety.
That’s cool!

Thank you for this explanation, I was about to complain but no need now as I have learned something.
why is it only 360p?
Honest question: how to best kill the mice to later feed it to wild life? A nail to the head?
I have this same trap. There are stray cats in here. I open the gate, set the mouse free and I get to watch an Apocalypto-esque chase in the streets
Good one 👍🏻🙏🏻
"Humanely dispatch it." a very nice way to say kill it. Lol Just the cycle of life.
I have one and it is very effective, relocated my two rats easily.
Has he ever caught any voles?
Most common mousetrap in india
Your my fav dude
They sale one very similar at harbor fright.
Why no sound?
I've seen those in El Salvador.
It’s my birthday today 😎

We have just seen drawback of this cage in the video
so umm hows the bird?
