Ugg, I hope he never goes on Discovery. They would turn the show into him having drama with other people, or about how there are ghosts in the basement.
I’m really glad you’re on TH-cam, Shawn! This could totally be a cable TV show where they stretch it out to 30 minutes and have way too many commercials, the way you do it is so much better to watch. Great job!
It'd be awesome to see him on Nebula/Curiosity Stream with the other educational TH-camrs. Then he'd have someplace to upload the complete footage without TH-cam censors.
I am so disappointed with contemporary TV. For example, "America's Funniest Home Videos" is an hour of broadcast time. Never watch it when it is broadcast, record it. Skip 20+ minutes of advertisements, another 10-15 minutes of the "host" talking about the actual content. Actual watch time? 20-30 minutes, and the networks want me to give them an hour of my time. TH-cam may sometimes have a lot of advertisements, but it still beats the heck out of network TV for content density.
I can't get over how professionally this series is executed. Your videos are really increasing in quality so much! Greetings from the Netherlands from the gorilla traps guy!
I have a couple of Goodnature A24s here in NZ I get about one rat a month in suburban Auckland. This year we had native Tui (a beautiful songbird) successfully rear a full nest of fledglings in a tree in our backyard :)
Just a little hint on using the spray foam: If you hold the bottle upside down you'll use all the foam before the gas runs out. (I learnt the hard way)
Hey Weston, thanks so much for working with Shawn to add a network look to the videos. The skin tone grade in this video looks a little wonky though. I'm looking forward to see more of your collabs with Shawn!
As an alternative to pesticide laden spray foam, regular high expansion foam with steel wool pads pressed in works great. They don't like to chew through the metal. Fill the hole 1/2 way with foam, stick in some heavy steel wool and top off with more foam.
You're the real pro Sean. A very effective method I found on smart buggers is to set the traps but render them ineffective for around three days by putting something under the trigger, remove the batteries or co2 cartridges or whatever but have them baited. Once the bait is consistently disappearing and the trap just becomes a food receptical set them. I also p"ut them in areas the rats don't always use. They smell the bait from long distances and will always find it. That way their suspicions upon finding a new item in their pathways they are so familiar with don't kick in. Love, love, love seeing you with the merch on. Love knowing you're making an excellent production. As my kids would agree, "Two thumbs up Daddy"
John Spartan: Que es este carne? Hamburger Stand Scrap: Este carne es de rata. John Spartan: Rat? This is a rat burger? [vendor nods] John Spartan: Not bad! Matter of fact this is the best burger I've had in years! Hamburger Stand Scrap: Gracias, Senor.
Great video Shawn! A good idea for large holes like the ones you dealt with is to block most of it with some rocks or pieces of brick before you fill it in with foam. It makes for a much stiffer blockage and saves the amount of foam needed.
That's some great editing! I love the background music and the intro, the image quality is great, but the light color of his face seems bright blueish in my eyes. And great job catching those rats :)
love the thumbnail. when spray foaming a hole its always a good idea to reinforces the foam with steal wool. That way they have to the time to chew through it and they will most likely move on instead. This trick also works will with sparrows and mice.
I've been an exterminator in Las Vegas for 11 years now. Best traps I've ever used are the victor snap traps. Try rubbing a dead rat on your brand new traps I find that when I do this I have more success.
@@jaredl.blassingame7086 once he gets a kill on it there's no need to rub it dead rat on it. Besides it's not very messy unless it's a 3-day old rat in an attic crawling with maggots
Those old school buildings have the worst basements with the crawlspace/basement combo like that. Makes it difficult to figure out where rodents are entering sometimes. Good work.
Shawn, im so impressed with the quality of this new series. You actually made into select bunch of videos that i save for later. Thats only for the best.
I've always had great success with cooked bacon and those metal snap traps, if they are too wary I leave them unset for a few days so they get comfortable eating the bacon from the trap then set them, great kill ratio that way 👍😊🐁🐀🇦🇺🦘
wow Shawn, I love your regular videos but with this new series (and its format) you really took a huge step in quality (illumination, intro, sound, etc). Great!!!!! Keep on going!
@Andrew Harper - That is BS! He used to be into making primitive tools and his trap videos way outperformed the others so he started doing antique mouse traps and his subscriptions blew up!
He had very low viewership with a channel making primitive weapons. Then he made one video making a mousetrap and it got millions of views. He knew what the audience wanted then.
Genuinely love the direction your channel took, crazy to think how far you've gotten from showing primitive trapping methods in the wild and filming yourself. These feels like a studio production that could be on TV. Well done brother great to see you grow.
Excellently done! This felt like a higher budget, television quality episode. Very professional! Can't wait to see the next one. Any update on the sorority? I hope that's coming soon!
This is amazing quality! Love this new project!! Wow!! Don’t be camera shy! You’re a natural and having more confidence will help you maybe land a professional contract for TV one day!!!
I wanted to say, thank you! I've had to live with mice/rat on and off for years. Each time it's very triggering. Watching your videos make me feel better equip to get them out and keep them out! Thank you again!
I'm not sure if it's the lighting or what but your face looks discolored and unnatural in the scenes where you walk us through the traps, like 2:06. Otherwise great video!
Hi Shawn, Love Your Web-Site! I have Two GREAT Mousers in the guise of My "Pawblo" whom I have had since he was small enough to fit in my palm and My other feller whom I adopted as a stray during a -50F "cool" snap last year. As he was already named "Todd" and was being "Re" homed, I figured I needed to "Re" name him, so he is now known as "Re"- Todd... Every time one of your videos comes on, No matter what he is doing or where in the house he is, Re-Todd will come FLYING into the Media Room and will remain Glued to the TeeVee as long as Your videos are playing. I Need to Thank You for making his transition from being an almost feral outdoor Alaska cat living a rough life to a Vidjya Junky Binge Watcher living in a warm indoors environment an Easy? One.
Shawn - do you want feedback on the video editing (only small things), or shall I just clap my hands like a seal and say how much I loved your channel? ;)
The lighting while showing off the traps reminds me of some art intimations instillations I saw in a documentary. They had setup some yellow monochromatic light that made everything look monochromatic. It was really cool.

Shawn this is awesome. You’ve really proven your worth on YT man.👏
nice vids
I've been watching for like a year or over and I'm 14
When you put the foam in the holes could you take like a stainless steel scrubber and fix it in the hole all while entombing it in the foam?

Seeing him show all these past effective traps is like a mercenary showing his awesome guns and knives.

I've eaten at that place! Never again. Tonight's menu: rat a la mode.
Lolololol😂😂😂😂😂
Shawn needs a TV show, he has extensive knowledge of mousetraps and the production value of this is incredible
Nah he doesn't need cable and idiot directors
He has one, ur watching it
And everyone likes to see mice and rats take a dive - especially if you've been infested.
Dang. This is good. This is like something I would find on discovery or nat geo.
Yeah the camera quality is great
I was thinking the same thing. It’s insane to see this man compared to his past videos
The production value is so good and this is literally the second episode.
I love the professionalism of his channel recently. %100 Something you would see on tv
It really is
Always avoid anywhere that you smell dead friends. Words to live by.
Shoutouts to TH-camrs for being what educational channels are supposed to be
Too bad TH-cam hates em 😔
When Shawn starts making Ancient Rat Alien videos, that’s when I unsubscribe 🤣
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!
Discovery Channel called, they want their video back.
Ugg, I hope he never goes on Discovery. They would turn the show into him having drama with other people, or about how there are ghosts in the basement.

This is really professionally done. I wouldn't be surprised if a TV network tried to hire you.
What isn't professional is that after a few minutes from 5:22 his voice is practically back at full volume.
That was what I was thinking. If anyone deserves it Shawn does. He always makes the videos so interesting and educational too. Great PSA work!!
Its horrible
I don't think he realizes what a nightmare getting a reality TV show would be on his personal and professional life.
He hired someone to film for him a little while back.
I’m really glad you’re on TH-cam, Shawn! This could totally be a cable TV show where they stretch it out to 30 minutes and have way too many commercials, the way you do it is so much better to watch. Great job!

From literally making primitive traps out of sticks to digital traps capturing our hearts. This channel has come a long and way!
His recreations of Midieval traps are required viewing at the Institute of Rodent Studies
Nice
I can't get over how professionally this series is executed. Your videos are really increasing in quality so much!
Greetings from the Netherlands from the gorilla traps guy!
*i highly recommend a 24 hr live stream of traps in multiple places for us to watch*
Mouse traps livecam
TH-cam would shut it down for animal abuse.
@@warrmalaski8570 sorry i dont dislike your comment. I dislike that your probably right
I have a life at the moment. I can't even watch shows :'(
@@warrmalaski8570 this is correct
I am surprised he didn't set up the traps in "dummy" mode for a few days , to lure them in.
The production on this is really really good. Almost like a cable show. Color saturation is a little weird sometimes
Looked like it had some color filter on it, upper right was only grey scale, the bottom left was only allowing yellow and red?
I agree. Shawn was looking very gray.
Production was great but color was way off - agreed!
They probably had old fluorescent lights. Or cheap Chinese LEDs. That's why the real pros still use incandescent lightbulbs.
Maybe too far from light?
It's been great to follow Shawn's channel's progress over the years. He's really helped me keep on top of mice and rat problems.
Rats: *exist*

Why are they pooping everywhere?!?

Just a little hint on using the spray foam: If you hold the bottle upside down you'll use all the foam before the gas runs out. (I learnt the hard way)

@@WestonNey hey it’s the editor good job I like it very much
Hey Weston, thanks so much for working with Shawn to add a network look to the videos. The skin tone grade in this video looks a little wonky though. I'm looking forward to see more of your collabs with Shawn!
These episodes are looking so nice and professional with Weston now. They were great before him, but this just amps it up so much.
This looks very professional and was super fun to watch
This episode is just perfect post-product, no overkill b-roll, stick to realism as channel iconic atmosphere. muah, chef kiss
The production value of your videos have definitely gone wayyyyy up
Oh yeah, totally man
Not this one though, the colour of his skin on this edit made him look like a ghost 👻
@@Dezlite ye it’s the colour editing
Not sure what look Shawn is going for here. That colour grading is super distracting.
the focus was pretty bad maybe leave it on auto focus
As an alternative to pesticide laden spray foam, regular high expansion foam with steel wool pads pressed in works great. They don't like to chew through the metal. Fill the hole 1/2 way with foam, stick in some heavy steel wool and top off with more foam.
5:20
If you sat down at a restaurant and you heard Shawn's voice, you know you probably don't wanna eat there! 😆🐀
😆
I don't know... If I knew Shawn was on the job, I'd feel pretty confident the rodents were dealt with.
I mean, 10 seconds later.. he says that it doesn't really mean that this restaurant is dirty.
@6:54 When you pulled that trap with a dead rat still sticking out I lol'd.
I love your content not only because I've used a couple of your homemade traps but it's very interesting how animals think and act
I don't even have rat problems but I love his videos. As you said watching how animals thinking and acting is very interesting.

Great video Shawn! A good idea for large holes like the ones you dealt with is to block most of it with some rocks or pieces of brick before you fill it in with foam. It makes for a much stiffer blockage and saves the amount of foam needed.
It was so cool seeing that huge rat! Sorry that the skunk missed out on a meal, but I'm thankful that you care about the wildlife. Good video!
That's some great editing! I love the background music and the intro, the image quality is great, but the light color of his face seems bright blueish in my eyes. And great job catching those rats :)
Shawn is about to get his own t.v show pretty soon if he keeps this house call series up.
That would be so awsome! Helping people get rid of pests. That's the move.
Let's hope not. TV is false and corrupts people. Shawn needs to remain real.
@@zwz.zdenek Not everyone will get corrupted. That depends on the individual.

Dude I'm so happy for shawn, and I think this is the coolest thing ever, can't wait to see your own show dude...
I just want you to know that I appreciate the improvements in editing and camera work. You have hired professionals and it shows.
Those old school buildings have the worst basements with the crawlspace/basement combo like that. Makes it difficult to figure out where rodents are entering sometimes. Good work.
yeah i wouldn't be surprised if the rats had a few more entry points, not that this building is all that appealing to them anymore
Shawn Woods: brings 10 different rat traps and a whole rack of em.
Rats: why do i hear boss music?
Great video! Really like the new editing, makes it seem very professional and well-produced!
Love the bump in production value. Been a long time viewer and this channel just keeps getting better! Thanks Shawn!
YES I LOVE HOUSETRAP MONDAY!!!!
Shawn, im so impressed with the quality of this new series. You actually made into select bunch of videos that i save for later. Thats only for the best.
I LOVE Housetrap Monday!!! These have been great!!!

It's refreshing to see this morphing into a an actual show!
You are now Prime Time my man!
Ratatouille is helping me cook some nasty rats right now in my kitchen. Mickey Mouse you're next
Hope Remy didn't there when Shawn present.
Russian dissident Fivel Mouskawitz is also penciled in.
Most professional looking video yet, with the editing and music. Looks like it came right off PBS.
Shawn you visionary. This series is amazing.
You’re a natural producer. These on location videos have been fantastic.

wow Shawn, I love your regular videos but with this new series (and its format) you really took a huge step in quality (illumination, intro, sound, etc). Great!!!!! Keep on going!
Question: maybe you've been asked this already, but how did the whole mouse trap thing start?
@Andrew Harper - That is BS! He used to be into making primitive tools and his trap videos way outperformed the others so he started doing antique mouse traps and his subscriptions blew up!
I think he always did it and had the idea to do it on TH-cam and many suggestions later it keeps evolving
Shawn got hungry, so he caught a rat for lunch and it went viral lol
Somehow, he went from flint knapping to primitive trapping to pest trapping.
He had very low viewership with a channel making primitive weapons. Then he made one video making a mousetrap and it got millions of views. He knew what the audience wanted then.

This is amazing quality! Love this new project!! Wow!! Don’t be camera shy! You’re a natural and having more confidence will help you maybe land a professional contract for TV one day!!!
I like this series- only 1 query: is the colour fading/ partial gray-scale intentionally so intense?
Might be due to weak lighting in the basement and/or different temperatures of different lights. Just a guess.
Woww! You are getting better in each video. Love the transitions and production of this one. Congrats man!
No one better at his job than shawn.
Woah! Mousetrap productions!? This looks great Shawn, Especially all the zoom-in shots
Is it just me or is the color off? He looks like cement in the basement.
Yeah, I found it pretty distracting.
exppsure . dark basement
It's the lighting. One arm has warm flesh tones, but the face and the other arm looked gray as the cement background.
I think it’s because it’s so dusty
My boy leveled up! Love the show!
I had to repeat that statement a few times to make sure I heard it correctly. “The rat chewed off its own leg to escape.”
Yep rats and mice would rather do that than die being trapped
Everything in this video oozes proffessionalism. Photo, editing but mostly Shawns confident hosting. 👍🏼
He looks like a kid playing with new toys :D his passion for traps is so genuine :D
I wanted to say, thank you! I've had to live with mice/rat on and off for years. Each time it's very triggering. Watching your videos make me feel better equip to get them out and keep them out! Thank you again!
“It has those teeth so they cant pull out” 🤭 that what she said
Shawn I'm proud of ya, I saw your channel grow from a humble smaller niche channel, testing out mouse traps to a production quality large channel!
With all that bacon, I thought you were going to come back and find Jim Gaffigan in one of the traps.
So amazed with the progression of professionalism on your channel. This is something special and you should be proud.
This series should be on *Netflix* 📡🐭🎥
Or on the Discovery channel: "RAT MAN ... solves your worst rat nightmares!" I think Shawn should make a pitch to the networks.
I’m in the trade and your traps have elevated my rodent game. Awesome vid man nice production quality too lol. I love that intro

Mice: *see other dead mice* I'm just gonna step over that
Your production values have really leveled up! Professional level!
Ugh, was looking forward to the rolling log traps and splash downs. My faves.
rats are too smart. logs get mice
The lighting while showing off the traps reminds me of some art intimations instillations I saw in a documentary. They had setup some yellow monochromatic light that made everything look monochromatic.
It was really cool.
Thought ds was about cooking rats.
This ain't China bruv
Shawn has improved his channel do much and I really hope he blows up!
*There is a disturbing lack of Ratatouille jokes in this comments section.*
And that is a good thing... Cheap jokes, Disney and gaming references are the bane of TH-cam comments. The less, the better.
