Shawn, kudos to you for not putting one of your pets in the live catch.

[@-powerband-gamer-6117]

those are the worst mouse traps in the world and should be banned

[@johnclamshellsp1969]

Shawn, do a do-over on this with a wire cloth cap. Will prevent mice from knocking the ball from the top.

[@ketansaart1546]

Plastic soda bottle on top and not to touch the ball with peanutbutter fingers,

[@sinclairmarcus]

Is this an ironic mousetrap as elephants are scared of mice running up their trunk? I learnt this when I was 5 years old. It could be bs

[@MrIrrationalSmith]

Just when you think you've seen 'em all, along comes something totally new and different.

[@Raterex]

We certainly have not seen a blender trap...oh my the thoughts...

[@Raterex]

I think it would ironically be not flagged by KZbin, as you will not be able to see a mouse in the aftermath...

I'm honestly surprised that's enough weight to kill a mouse

[@pinkcat4545]

Did u see that one scene in Indiana Jones thats pretty much the size it looks like for the rat

[@floyd2386]

I was thinking the same, well enough weight/fall height.

[@dudemrt1326]

@starshipeleven true but you'd think they'd just squish down like they do when they squeeze through gaps

[@peterkoller3761]

drop a pool ball from 4in on your scull. and once you recover from the agony, please report how it felt and if you are still surprised it kills a mouse.

[@dudemrt1326]

@@peterkoller3761 y u get so butthurt lol

[@freshdoug]

I find it interesting that the live capture trap has a longer drop distance than the kill trap. You would think you'd want it reversed.

[@thomaskendrick6766]

Exactly!

[@xNecromancerxxx]

I was gonna say the same thing...

[@eschelar]

I had a hard time thinking about how the guy who made this is an engineer. Ouch

[@grafzeppelin4069]

The live-catch trap does need a little bit more height to give the mouse space to sit under the ball, plus the pegs. It's doesn't need to be THAT much taller, though.

[@RaExpIn]

The number of ideas for designs of mousetraps is unbelievable... It's so fascinating what people come up with or have come up, in the past.

[@-danR]

This one's from Israel. Is it a Moussad trap?

[@twoDie4]

[@guyfoundry4228]

I have no idea why it pisses me off so much that mice wander around EVERYWHERE ELSE except the trap for as LONG AS POSSIBLE. Much more so when they trigger the trap from the top. But at least this guy is here to show us that not all traps are immune to failure

[@michaelbuckers]

You only see good traps on the market because none of the bad ones never made it into production. Survivorship bias.

[@LimitedState]

Might be creative but its still a bad design with bad results.. it needs a cap to prevent this.

[@Stratos53100]

Cap - Or a cover of some sort is what i said above in my post, agreed on that

[@Cicada-gq8hz]

But with a lid you can't set it so the entire design would have to be redone

[@Riceball01]

​@@Cicada-gq8hz You wouldn't need to redesign, All it would take is extending the top so that the ball is no longer exposed and then place a cap on it. Noy redesigning needed. All you'd be doing is making the thing taller, or setting the ball lower in the live catch version, you;d set it in the same way since you'd make the slots for the pins as well.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

@@Riceball01 noy redesign? You bri'ish or smth? ;p

Interesting, but not a better mouse trap. Now, upsize it to use a bowling ball and shield the ball with cone and this could be worth a repeat.

my dear friend, i just discovered you and subbed. I dont usually sub to channels that have a huge amount subscribers,however i couldn't stop watching it! Keep up the good work, Love your family and thy neighbour.All the best from Canada

[@ninjadude17]

Dude, I have seen quite a few of your videos. I started this past weekend. I like how you spare local breeds unless they fall for a trap for death.

[@whatshouldidowithmychannel]

Don't worry Shawn, I understand if you're behind, I don't mind waiting for the sparrow trap video. Besides, it seems just as exciting to see an elephant mouse trap and a live gopher video. The wait for next week would be worth it.

[@mizu_the_floatzel]

I got to say it's going to be interesting to see this elephant style mouse trap I enjoy watching your videos and the stuff you learn about the history and development of technology that builds mouse traps makes you wonder how far we came in developing this technology to take care of pests

[@jnorth9702]

Thank you for sharing.

[@DeLoreansgarage]

Thanks David!

[@jokestermasteroflaughter7754]

I would put some mesh or something over the top to keep the mice from messing with it

[@WSAD08]

after 2 years, I back watching your mouse traps video

[@doomslayer2290]

The live version sounds satisfying

[@stonent]

I'd enjoy seeing this revisited with a box or capped PVC pipe over the top that prevents them from triggering it from the outside.

[@barath_aron]

I can't wait for that elephant trap! Looks so exciting!

[@AM-di4pq]

Take your time making videos! You always make great content and we love watching your stuff, so we know it's worth the wait! Ps, how is chili mouse doing?

[@sbomorse]

A very inventive design.

[@cozmolives]

I figured the taller one would be the kill trap.

[@royalbookshopper]

A lid made of the same pipe as the traps would probably help to keep the mice from going on top.

[@dimondbackkirby]

Thanks for the vid Shawn! You should build something that goes over the top and make another vid! Redemption vid! I'm curious if the ball is heavy enough to keep the mouse in the live catch. It'd be awesome to see it in action! :)

[@thomasryan8218]

I can't wait to see the Elephant trap,I love all your videos.

[@docink6175]

I hope you revisit this one with a cap mod, I was thinking another pipe with legs to hold it above the ball but not interfere with the operation but a plastic bottle or pvc would also work

[@Cicada-gq8hz]

Hey, Shawn I've been making a lot Of primitive style mouse traps lately and I really liked your old videos about primitive mousetraps. I do think it might something you should consider bringing back

[@Cicada-gq8hz]

Also if you do think that's something you might do I have plenty of primitive mousetraps to let you know about

[@keystonecarpenter3002]

I'd try a solo cup over top to prevent the mouse setting it off.

[@karsatowski3408]

I can't wait to see the elephant mouse trap and the live gopher!

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

Probable a typical designer he thinks of an idea and even makes it but never test it. well your the best tester there is for mouse traps. cheers

[@bloodgain]

Nightmare was very excited to see himself on your channel! 😁

[@Turandot29]

I wonder why the difference in height in the two trap styles? I would think the kill trap would be the taller pipe for more force upon the mouse.

[@JHorse508]

If trap had more entrances I believe it would cause more success

[@crazyconcertdude]

I’m really surprised that trap even worked once. I’m still waiting for an ACME anvil trap to show up on MTM!

[@jimf1964]

I'm pretty surprised the mouse died from such a short drop of the ball. Looks like they need a cover.

[@craniumbear]

Can't wait to see the gopher and elephant vids!

[@oscarpuntz2266]

Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving . Love your vids

[@jasond2139]

Just when I thought I had a purpose for keeping all these old pool balls. Surprised that the pool ball would be heavy enough to kill the mouse from that height?

[@RobKinneySouthpaw]

From the look of those rats you need a shroud over the trigger, and a bowling ball scale version for those massive rats.

[@davidwatson6472]

If your neighborhood skunk gets much larger you will have to rename it skunkosaures. Great video as always.

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

I've got some 2" hardened steel balls I got from Amazon, they would work perfectly for the kill trap version, even better than the pool ball. Really simple design, like all the best ones are. Edit: Note to self, put cap on top to prevent accidental triggers lol.

[@alexisgrunden1556]

I kind of wish the rat had gotten itself brained by the falling pool ball. Like a blunt guillotine; I could only imagine what the possums and skunks would think. "Dang; the heck did he do to this one?? ..Oh well; still tastes good. My compliments to the chef!"

[@FrietjeOorlog]

The yellow ribbon is almost cut. Did a mouse chew it, or does the design of the trap make it wear out really fast?

[@floyd2386]

Probably from rubbing against the edge of the metal every time the trap is triggered and the ball falls.

[@vdwalt4464]

My favorite trap yet.

[@PapiDoesIt]

That's a very creative trap design, but you need to give it a little flip.

[@Riceball01]

It's not that bad, it just needs a little modification to work better is all. The simple thing would be to make both versions the same height as the taller one and cut the holding slots so that they go down further so that the ball sits completely inside the tube and then place some sort of cap or lid on top. For extra security, you could mount it to a wide base so that it doesn't get easily knocked over.

[@mistermurtad2831]

Have you ever done a Promotory peg trigger with a paver stone?

[@lacethefirebender2099]

This is a great trap, no risk of getting your fingers stuck and no risk of pets getting their paws stuck, the only problem I could see is it’s a little tall, maybe could be a little tippy

[@jameslivingston8301]

👍👍❤ Thank you Shawn...again! Good Evening 🌚

[@vibe1705]

They were having fun pushing the ball down 😂

[@katakimikusan]

After seeing the traps in action I would suggest that you build some “protection” or something around the traps so they only have one option, & don’t set of the trap from the outside 🤔👍

[@Kmcornell23]

That elephant is terrifying...

[@Christian-cz9bu]

Seems like it was something about the inside of the pipe that deterred them, maybe needs a different color or a foil reflective surface?

[@tribalequestrian4954]

Shawn, do you still grow the Pawnee Eagle corn?

[@RydalS]

Seems to me the taller one would work as a kill trap since the mice can't climb to the top as easily

[@billkaroly]

Where do I know that music from?

[@Charlesb88]

These traps need a cover that goes over pool balls onto to prevent mice from climbing the pool ball and falsely prematurely the trap. The cover should have four notches and the tube should have to peg on the side the cover locks into place and can’t rotate as well won’t touch the top of the pool ball when in place. The other two notches accommodate the pegs on the pool ball. You could probably use just use a PVC pipe cap available at any hardware store for this purpose.

[@dansasquatch4204]

An umbrella like ring that is too slick to allow them to climb up would be a good preventer.

[@pr59052]

For a trap that works by Gravity, the ratio height/base should be enough to avoid the trap to tilt and fall

[@bg6b7bft]

Did you have bait on your fingers when you set the trap? Why are the little twerps even jumping up there?

[@andreashimawan5759]

[@BlackDeath920]

[@alphonsesynrem28]

Very nice.

[@dashcam55]

I think it's back to the drawing board!

[@rustyshackelburt4029]

Addition of some kind of a cage over the top would solve the failure problem.

[@DootTiger]

I think it speaks a lot to mouse thought process to go top down instead of in up for the bait on this trap.
