BOLTR: Electric Mouse Trap

More subtle than an electric chair. Teardown and test of the Victor Electronic Mouse trap. @ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday

[@GrahamDallas]

The mouse should be content that he was killed by science and not some random happening.

Bought the same one for Pops about a year ago, still hasn't taken it out of the box 😂

[@mikeselectricstuff]

That little 2M resistor isn't going to be 2M with 10+kV across it - a resistor that size is only rated for 2-300V - at high voltages, it will arc across the spiral cut in the carbon film, so chances are the actual voltage was a lot lower

[@scottmahanes9248]

We got a few of these about a month ago and the biggest problem is like you mentioned, after a few of the visitors have been blessed by the sparky end the pads start to rust. The bigger ones also wise up and avoid it after a few of their buddies go into the thunder dome…

[@sparkythawelder]

One mouse enters, no mouse leaves...

[@DrFiero]

Bought that exact Victor about 6-7 years ago. Works great! Except for the blinky light. It's supposed to blink green every (whatever-it-is) to show it's alive, but it doesn't anymore. Pretty sure the red one still blinks after a zapification. Found that peanut butter placed right by the dots/grill works well as an attractant.

[@leorapsonjr7659]

Peanut butter and some rolled oats works great for mouse bate.

[@bdg77]

Probably won't kill a fella, but you should avoid sticking any mouse sized body parts in there!

[@lostinspacecamp4245]

Has to be a pretty small and crooked mouse sized body part, if it's gonna go past those guards there.

[@williamwertman24]

​@GAIS414 they have commercials for those types with crooked mouse sized parts

[@Iowa599]

I think it needs fixed. I won't be happy untill it will arc between the contacts.

[@MrCollinsliam]

Keep em coming brother !!!

[@CaptainRon1913]

Had two stubborn mice this spring that wouldn't leave. Tried two of those Victor electronic traps, no bueno. Got the old style Victor traps with the metal bait plate. Peanut butter, snapped them both within a couple hours. They would not go in the electronic trap. I also have one of those slip and slide bucket traps. Marine antifreeze and water in the bucket. Usually empty 10 or so mice out of the bucket every spring

[@coasmechteranic]

Neat. We use 480v and a nice thermoplastic covering as bait. Works every time. ...although, fuses are getting pricey!!!

[@viniciusvbf22]

Poor mouse. You know, as a mammal, it feels hunger, cold and fear. It's probably more intelligent than many of my friends. I feel for it. And yet, went on a spree to piss on uncle bumblefuck's floor, a felony punished by death, no matter the domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus or species.

Last I bought new stainless steel flatware so all the forks and spoons would match, every brand I looked at was made in Vietnam, where Chinese companies go when Chinese labor is too expensive or Chinese regulations too restrictive…

[@billpetersen298]

The question now is, are the profits still going back to China. Has it slowed their military build out, or not.

Probably for people with dexterity/disabilities. For example, setting a normal trap can be very tricky if you have one hand or have parkinson's disease.

I wonder if the pulse width gets larger when the load is touching? Like maybe 10-100k.

[@inductivethinking]

The voltage measurement may be very inaccurate! Those 1/4W resistors are only rated for around 250V, so not suitable for this voltage divider.

[@rocketman221projects]

I don't want to have to dispose of the dead mouse. It needs a 100kJ pulse capacitor so the mouse gets completely vaporized. That will also provide a nice audio alert to anyone with in a kilometer or so.

1K would give you 5V -- 1.2K would be 6V (5.996 to be accurate).

[@CrudelyMade]

I've found the 2 best traps are: bucket with water in it (otherwise they can actually manage to jump out, despite the lid)... and the little tunnels that just trap them. the bucket is great because they fall in, it can capture a bunch. the tunnels are great because you can place them along edges of things where mice to to run, and they get baited right in. but they can only catch one at a time.. but possibly better because they can be placed along where the mice like to run. there's also a guy who has a channel dedicated to mouse traps of all sorts. he found a shallow bowl with peanut oil in it is also very good. they mice can't jump out because of the oil, they like the smell, and it can catch many overnight.

[@markfergerson2145]

I kind of miss the Good Old Daze of modernized mousetraps that put full line power across the plates. Then there were the rat traps that involved attaching a small caliber revolver…

[@MiH1IT]

I often get some stubborn mice that get into cellar and refuse to get caught, so I have almost every kind of mouse trap ever made. They can decide the way they want to leave this world. I have really good success with electric mouse trap. I just have owltra brand and not victor. After watching many videos I tried to use peanut butter as a bait, but I never caught anything with it. The best success I have is with a salami. Second place is walnut.

[@ted7x]

they've got a wifi version too got a bunch of them modified to run off 5v dc adapters these things are great

[@crautoguy8384]

I wanted to build one of those with automotive coil pack about 80000 V Use a cam/ crank. Sensor for the trigger so when the mouse steps on A conductive Mat its weight causes the mat it get close enough to the censor to fire the coil.

[@scottturcotte1860]

😂probably not very fun for the mouse! Compared to any other means of lethal intended high anxiety?

[@crautoguy8384]

The bucket trap is the best rat trap. Only problem that happens to that is it fills up With carcasses and they jump out. If you don't dump it I had one of the yard that amazed me. But I didn't buy that fancy lead thing. I just put pearlite like is in potting soil On top of about 8 inches of water in a 5 gallon bucket then smear some peanut butter around the top of the water line and if you want a supercharger it put some sesame seed oil in there put a little ramp up to the side. They jump right in and it's pretty humane they don't last very long in there about 30 seconds

[@jeffp7368]

A good glue board and some peanut butter always does the trick for me
