    Hi Shawn,
    Here's an updated design from that I was introduced to in the 1980's. I was in a mouse infested house. My roommates older brother fixed us up with a 5 gallon bucket with a coat hanger pushed through the axis of a beer can set across the bucket mouth. Peanut butter was smeared on the can. Mice would make it to the beer can and fall into the water. The water needed to be deep enough so they couldn't touch the bottom. It worked great.
    Thanks for sharing the historical design and video.

    I used peanut butter bottle with a metal rod which runs through the middle which spins freely and laced with peanut butter. I set the trap at night and the next morning I got 5 mice. The lure of peanut butter seems to not to deter the other mice even though they saw their friends swimming frantically in the bucket.

  • @dansteving5915
    @dansteving5915 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

  • @curtgeorge
    @curtgeorge 6 ปีที่แล้ว +33

  • @honantong
    @honantong 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I found this to be the best. it basically has no limit on how many mice you can catch a night (if the bucket is big) but you need to modify it a little so the rat can clime on it from either end of the stick. You can use a long stick that connects to the bucket on both ends. So it's more efficient. :D also, the device is too small, otherwise you could have easily caught that giant rat :DDDDD

    I used a stick across the bucket with a string tied in the middle with the lid of a jar on the end about 6" below the stick with bait on the lid. In one night I had enough to where the rest could stand on them and climb out. another thing we did was mixing bromo seltzer and flour and leaving it next to a bowl of water.

      Gabriel Rodríguez Gutiérrez
      Its an acceptable variation of the shed analogy. In fact I'd argue that the tool shed analogy is a variation of the knife in drawer analogy. Because the latter makes more sense than the former. All knives are expected to be sharp to serve a purpose, whereas not all tools need to be sharp to be useful, e.g. A hammer.

    I wonder if you could incorporate a magnet into the spinner so that it would hold for a bit before letting go suddenly.

  • @TimJSwan
    @TimJSwan 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think it would work better with a static friction threshold. Like, the spinner is normally "stuck" until enough force is on it, at which time it will suddenly rotate.

    We live in the city in a 100 year old house.. We see mice and mouse poop once in awhile, more poop than mice.
    I'm not sure if they're so dirty or disease ridden, but they chew through wires, and walls and crap everywhere, especially inside your heating ducts. (we have to clean them at least once a year). They make holes everywhere, inside cupboards etc..
    Squirrels can be pretty damaging as well.
    We've sealed every tiny hole we could find. We have all of our food, (flour, cereal, rice, pasta, coffee, etc.) in big gallon jars, and wipe off counters and the stove top with javex right away, we keep the garbage up, (because we have 2 dogs), but still have them because our winters are so long and cold. They will feed on traces of food or dishes not cleaned thoroughly.
    They do a lot of damage in your house if you do not get rid of or control them, and It's extremely hard to get rid of them humanely.
    I've met people who have had fires caused by them chewing wires.
    Also, my neighbour has 4 cats, they catch some, but she still sees mouse poop once in awhile....

    That rat was pretty big. I had a barn on my property a couple years ago and used a metal hanger, 5 gallon bucket, and a prescription bottle that spun on the hanger. Same principle, without the paddles. I caught a lot of mice. They love peanut butter. A little anti-freeze keeps the water from freezing (not safe if you have pets).

  • @pup9et

    Rub Vaseline around the inside edge of the bucket, maybe even a little of the wooden dowel. Makes it impossible for them to grip anything. Its what we used to keep the squirrels out of the bird feeder. Little bastards could shimmy up the 1/4 in metal pole holding the feeder. But they sure couldnt after rubbing some Vaseline on it haha.
