Hi Shawn! I have been watching your videos for over. 2 years now and I have been wondering if you could set up ALL of ur mouse traps for one video I imagine this would be difficult because idk if you have that many trail cams or not. But please at the end of 2020 do it if you can’t afford all the baits I would be happy to donate and you could advertise this and leave links to the vids of the mouse traps you already had. Sincerely Kenden
Anybody paying $1,000.00 for a mouse trap has mental issues...
I had no idea that a rat was smart enough to bring a tool with him to throw the trap . Wow
Yeah basic tool use, wild rats aren't known to do this, few more decades of this and they'll evolve capacity to make their own tools.
@@axelhucht5194 you'd be awkward to if you didn't have any thumbs ! Lol !
@Howie Felterbush
I am happy about logical arguments from intelligent people, but not about vulgar remarks.
You have just been added to my blacklist.
Well, until I see the rat lighting a bonfire, I'm not convinced.
Rats are very smart, i think there was an article on lab rats using little cars the scientists give them. Knowing how it functions and that it calms them down
Shawn simply has to up his game to outsmart the rats. It's an IQ race.
Get out there with a .22 and the rat problem is over.
That’s what I was saying XD 4 rats in a few hours with a air rifle I done that where taking my chickens food so I ended there life’s XD
So you're saying he is stupider than rats.
Bomb them
@@31redorange08 nope...
He is too nice to the rodents....
The rat setting the trap off with a stick... That is horrifying.
He cooks Rattatoullje in a 5 star restaurant in his free time
His name is Ben and is the star of the movie by the same name.
That rat must have witnessed several of its buddies get caught in traps and learned from the experience.
@@rookmaster7502 sadly, there are PEOPLE that wouldn't work that one out.
Timestamp?
the rat using the stick was brilliant!
Shawn you should show that video to rat behaviorists. There must be some at some university someplace
It's actually amazing
08:15
And scary
we need to capture that one or we will be doomed
It looks like the time has finally come to introducing your rat population to mink and dog!
He has so much rats that he would introduce dog trap and mink trap lol
Mink Man Collab! Something to think about when all the quarantines are lifted
This is the most aesthetically pleasing trap I’ve ever seen.
*2019* - Humanity survives the C*VID-19 outbreak.
*2043* - The last living human being is eaten alive by a razor-toothed horde of Super Rats, members of a world-conquering rodent subspecies... one which resulted from too many Mouse Trap Monday rat-trap tests. D'oh!
Skaven will rule the world. Yes-yes!
You censored "COVID"?! Why?!
Brain what are we going to do tonight ? What we always try to do each night pinky.... TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD......
The Secret Of MTM
@Tearjerker It is technically true. Humanity did survive 2019 :P
Well, you've confirmed our suspicions. You're creating an army of rodents to take over the world. And no one believes you "dispatched" that mouse. You re-educated and conscripted it.
8:13 Holy crap! Rats that use tools?! Better watch out Mr Woods. Pretty soon your super rats will be building traps to catch YOU!
8:14 Oh no, the beginning of super-rats!! Amazing how evolution works!!
03:50 Wow, a ghost mouse! :o I guess after "humanely dispatching" so many mice, your barn must be haunted with lots of these :q
Some moucetraps , like this one, are a piece of art. But rat traps are the real challenge. I hope we see a worthy opponent to your super rats...
When we have a plague of super smart rats setting off all the traps with tools, or just avoiding them, we'll know where they have started their evolution.
That rat just set off the trap with a stick!!! He knew exactly what he was doing, he didn't even blinked when the trap went off! Mind blowing, they are smart!
I mostly watch in 720p which is more than enough picture quality for viewing on phones or even my 32” tv. I wouldn’t sweat uploading in 4K Shawn. Great video as always!
I feel your pain with rural internet connections. Me as a kid was much more tuned for the town/city, but I was stuck out in the middle of nowhere, with not much to do out there that interested me as a lone child. Rural internet connections are the worst. Keep up the good work!
That trap design needs some work. I am sure that Shawn has massive experience setting a Victor type trap and if it snapped him twice, that's a problem.
What I thought was, if it got Shawn twice, it's off the list. He mentioned the weight of the platform made it hard to set.
I like how your mice dont care and there calm but then the rats are just supper couscous and scared.👍
4:47 ‘Ight imma head out’
Your wood work is simple but well made, I like and appreciate it.
I love how you used a kill trap to make a non killed trap. Keep up the good work love your videos.
The house design would also make a good mouse house for domesticated mice
Thanks Shawn for all your hard work and entertaining videos. I've been a long time subscriber and huge fan of your work. You're gonna have to figure out new ways to catch those super smart genius rats!
Seeing that rat set off the trap with a stick was just phenomenal
Don’t bother with 4K. Save your time and upload a lower res. Honestly, I don’t think anyone cares. Reduce your stress.
00:36 Wow it was patented the very day I was born. I feel honored.
After seeing that rat trigger the trap with a stick, I'm confident to say that one day those super backyard rats will develop humanlike intelligence and see what you've posted on your channel.
You got a ghost on camera when the trap went off at 3:53! A transparent white ball came into frame from the left, trap went off, and ball exited the right side of the screen.
Dad would dig post holes for new fence lines with the tractor and a post hole auger he made. He worked off the farm so him digging post holes would often be all the work that could be done that weekend and planting the posts might not happen for weeks. Our family (8 kids) is full of conservationists so every other day or so, someone would run the line of holes and release anything that got trapped by accident. Once I pulled out a garter snake that was missing a few inches of his tail. It was a fairly fresh wound so he had had a lucky escape from predation. I brought him home ( metal lunch boxes were so useful for this!) He was released in the backyard that evening and once or twice I happened upon him over the next few years around the back yard or the barnyard. About 5 years after I had left the farm, one spring day during a visit, some neighbour kids had come over to see the horse's and I spotted them in an excited circle near the barn. I heard screams of 'snake' and 'kill it' as they formed up in a loose circle. One was brandishing a stick so I yelled at them and ran over to see what they were preparing to kill and darn, if it was not Stubby, grown to an impressive 3 feet or more and a girth of nearly 3 inches. He likely was not long emerged from hibernation and was cold and had a belly full of some rat or other that he'd caught and was looking for a warm sunny spot to digest. He wasn't moving all that fast and was now surrounded by kids that didn't know they were looking at one of the best pest control agents on the farm! I educated them that day and was greatly pleased to see that he was still alive and healthy and doing his best to rid the farmyard of rats. But I digress. That rat that used the stick to set off the trap really impressed me. That is TOOL USE! We had caught a kangaroo rat once the same way and because it was something I had never seen before (nor since), I brought it home and quickly installed it in one of mom's sealer jars with a bunch of holes punched in the lid. One of my older brothers was into rodents at that time and had a cage for it. That rat was so easy to teach that within a day it had solved a number of mazes including one that required it to draw a shoe lace in to get the treat. It provided much entertainment over the weekend ( we lived in Northern Ontario, 20 miles from the nearest city and only had 1 reliable TV channel, so we had to make our own much of the time ). It was hard to part with Roo as he was so smart and quick to learn new tricks and he seemed to have the makings of a great pet, but caught in the wild belongs in the wild so I reluctantly released him near the post hole I rescued him from on my way to school Monday morning. Never caught nor saw another.
4:42 I see we have the return of the pusher mouse...
Thanks for suffering through your slow internet to bring us these! I had no idea.
Shawn Woods single handedly creating a race of super rats
8:14 damn! Stuart you're a genius
That clip of the rat setting off the trap with a stick... "Well... the bears have discovered fire."
Hi! I really love your videos and am so amazed at how many different and ancient traps there are! I just hope that TH-cam would allow you to show the inhumane trap kills though.
Shawn casually making super genius rats by process of evolution
Hi Shawn, love your channel. And I like the background of studio. Just a suggestion, I thought it would look nice if you put lighting behind you or at the corner for a decoration. It would look cozy and have that country life looks (sorry, I dont know how to describe it).
And also I think you should buy a good microphone, maybe the Rode for even a better audio. Keep it up
This one seems a bit excessive compared to many of your others, especially for catching only a single mouse, though I guess style points count (?)
He's a collector. Of course style counts.
He has already proven repeatedly that the best mouse and rat traps are self-resetting walk-the-plank (or variants like rolling log).
Wow. That rat used a tool to set off the trap. Very smart critters.
I love your videos. I found you a few years ago when I had a house-rat problem.
Should start up a small museum to show the collection. And maybe collect some donations in regards to expanding it and keeping it under curation.
As soon as he leaves barn
*closes barn door*
Ironically
*Miniature barn door closes*
Got my pictures at the end, I'm happy now.
Thats one thick Squirrel 5:03
Forget the 4k. Your time is more valuable than that. 2k is plenty. Your videos are already the best.
Thank you Shawn. I have benefited from your videos. And today i was face to face with a red squirrel. It got trapped in my garage. I took out my peppermint spray. But i found i was just being unkind, as it had no way out. So i just opened my garage and hope it made a better choice.
You are a man of many talents Mr. Woods.
No better feeling than seeing that mouse panic!!!
You made smart rats! I knew they were tricky but those are almost scary. Good work on the videos.
Oh no, what have you done. You’ve created a sentient race of rats. Next thing you know the rats will strike.
You need the mink man to come over with his mink and dogs to clear your barn
I see why the rats didn’t go in to get the rest of the bait. You put too many sunflower seeds. If you put only a small amount, it draws them in due to the fact that there’s not much for others and they’ll want it for themselves so put only small amounts of seeds, the peanut butter is fine.
Shawn, I believe Norway rats are not vegetarian so they will eat mice, but roof rats are, they prefer seeds and fruits. Would be nice to have enough room between the platform and the bait, so you could put the dead mouse there to draw the rats in.
There's no need to smash your hand every time. In fact, there's no need for that snap trap at all. Just run a string up from the pedal, but instead of running it to set off the snap trap, run it around a wheel and attach the string to the pin. Include multiple rubber bands to increase the closing speed of the door. Do this, and you won't even need a "second story" to your barn.
Ghost of a mice from previous traps came to mess with you :D
There should be a floor level or slightly elevated trap to outsmart those rats.
Shawn, don't bother with the 4K at the moment because the Internet the world over is under strain from everyone spending more time at home. Glad to hear that you are still working and that your family is doing well.
Thanks for all the time and effort spent making the videos... enjoy watching your channel, stay safe.thanks!
Yay the pictures are back!!
Really interested to see how that lamp trap works.
That spray paint job thou....
Shawn when you are in the work shop don't forget to be safe.
7:57 its rats united.
Thanks for answering my comment Shawn love your vids watch every one that comes out
Shawn, wouldn’t this trap design work without the rat trap, while also making it easier to set and safer?
Because you added the rubber band, it would come down quickly, and I think if you just use that string and tie it directly from the trigger platform to the pin that drops the door, it would work well. And better.
I miss seeing you giving ‘casualties’ a little flip.
The rat that set off the trap with the stick is named Jerry.
I love that this guy does not harm pet rats
holy crap! i found something you suck at! spray painting! lol...cool idea for plastic wall. good vid as usual
I hear ya man, putting out new content has been a real strain lately. It’s extra hard with all the kids home. Good luck to you.
I enjoy all your videos, but have to say this is amoung one of my favorites of late. Verry cool build. Thanks alot, keep your family safe my friend.
I can't wait to see some of your antique collection. Thanks
There are some Rube Goldberg inspired mouse trap videos on TH-cam. I'd like to see you build one of those.
By the time they get to the trap they're full of sunflower seeds... 😂
Love your videos. Oddly interesting ! Start watching and can’t stop! Keep the videos coming !! Love it!!
You should make a compilation of intelligent cautious rats from your clips!
Shawn! What were you thinking?! You should've used the dead mouse as bait to catch a rat.
One time I had a mouse trap in the yard and a rat threw a leaf at it to test it out it was interesting they are a step ahead of us
Damn, actually that rat with a stick is smarter than most humans. Someday they will bring us bloody revenge...
Shawn you are so humble. Love the videos.
Shawn, could it have been better to put the hinges on the side of the barn instead of the end to make it easier to set the trap ?
quick tip... before you go to the barn set it before it is night time
Great work Mr. Woods
I like how he put the dead mice aside with the trap
Efficiency get!
Hey, we all enjoy your mousetraps, and such, but have you ever thought about adding ROACH traps, ant traps, and other annoying bugs? I am SURE you are busy, but I'd like to see bugs included!!
This is very clever. Love your video's Shawn
3:51 ghost mice
I bet that rat owns a restaurant. Have you noticed any cookbooks missing?
Bet that rat with the tool was the same rat from Doom Patrol.
I always have fun watching TH-cam videos!
Hi
Hey
hi
Howdy
I think that if you made the "barn" longer and put the bait as far in as possible, you'd have better luck with catching rats.
Since they are fairly smart, and thus wary, you need to out-think them.
Legend Shawn!!! love these videos shame it takes so long to get them uploaded.
Looking forward to the 3D competition video.
Open a museum near some interstate as an attraction for vacationing families!
You're like the Mr. Rogers of the mouse trap world.
After a while of using the same method rats in particular tend to exhibit neophobia, you might have to get more elaborate with your trapping in order to circumvent this behavior. I absolutely love your channel, keep up the good job be safe and God bless you and your family.
My man looks like that he is crazy but he has a heart of gold
I have a question, if you have a live catch mouse trap, how do you humanely dispatch the mouse? How do you kill them before you feed them to wild animals
