    You already mentioned the bucket not being deep enough, but I also believe the ply was too easy for the rodents to grip and as others mentioned, a plastic version should be more effective.

  • @Elenesski
    @Elenesski ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I'm curious how well it would work with a board that was made out of something they couldn't grab on to ... like some hard plastic. Also, I'd add a weight to the bottom of the bracket to prevent the board from ever point straight down.

  • @HugoHugunin

    If the corners of the wood were sanded, round and waxed, I would think the mice would do less gymnastics and more "Kerplunking".

  • @madhousepatient9994
    @madhousepatient9994 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Shawn, add just a bit of peanut oil. They can't jump high if the're slipping. It wont take much.

  • @genef1027
    @genef1027 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The concept is good, but needs a much deeper bucket for that length of board.
    Maybe board could be an inch or two shorter, but not too much shorter because otherwise mouse won't tip the board angle far enough to fall in. I agree a 7 gallon bucket would be better choice, or add water.

  • @jeangemmel7895
    @jeangemmel7895 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It definitely would need to be a deeper bucket as some of them did get back out or as you say Shawn a mini swimming pool at the bottom of the bucket for a no return!

  • @nykole1963

    Have used a similar trap with great results. The main difference is I used a plastic counterweighted disk that was a slightly smaller diameter than the bucket, so very slippery, and won’t allow the mice to jump out. Also some water in the bucket to stop jumping.

  • @vladimir945
    @vladimir945 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Would it work if the board is fixed along the metal rod, not across it? Could still be enough for the mice to lose their balance and fall down, and then more difficult to grab an edge to climb back on top of it.
