bottle rat/mouse trap

[@jangorh]

cool trap and a good idea, but you better check it often! Rat will chew right out of that bottle in no time

[@drhumupower8570]

Exactly. The rat will be free in an hour or two, maybe less.

[@Handle...This.]

No doubt they can chew through the plastic, but how? There's no way to grab onto the bottle as it's a flat surface?

[@JoeJ-8282]

@@Handle...This. Hello... watch the very ending of this video... there's that hole that the wire was sticking into, that that mouse started immediately biting at... I don't even think it would take an hour for one to get out that way, a few minutes at most, because most mice can get themselves through a hole that is only about 1/2" in diameter, or about the diameter of the end of your pinky finger! (I know because I've seen it quite a few times over the years with my very own eyes, and I grew up living in the country, where mice were everywhere, so I speak from experience with dealing with them.)

The trap retainer should be on the opposite side of the opening. As you can see, the rat was sniffing around it, because it's above the opening. The rat may accidentally set off the retainer while still outside the trap.

Crazy how I can watch the rat/mouse and not be afraid, but seeing them up close and personal is totally different. I'm scared out of my mind. Great trap.

[@ModelManiacThailand]

That mouse is a hired actor. He is a stuntmouse.

[@Pashasmom1]

If you don't do something right away about it being stuck in there, it will chew a hole and get out easily. Rats can also chew through some metals, brick or uncured concrete, let alone wood. You can find all this info online.

[@Angelgrinder1]

That's fantastic. The only way that trap could potentially be any better is when you burrow a bottle shaped hole in the ground and place the trap inside, while the entry hole faces upward. In this case the rat will be more eager to crawl inside of it because it is on ground level and it doesn't have to stretch upwards to get to the peanut.

I caught a mouse by placing a plate of food on the edge of the counter with a tall garbage can underneath it (about 35" tall). When the critter steps on the plate close to the edge, the plate and critter fall into the can. The walls of the can are smooth so it cant climb out. I then released it far in the field. I love all animals and could not kill one no matter what...

[@donkeybutt3239]

Rats a known to chew almost thru anything even metal and since that hole was big I'm guessing it's a breathing hole and he will let it go in the woods if it hadn't chewed its way out which it's a good possibility. Also you can see how cautious that rat was they are smart so probably wouldn't catch another if that rat put a warning scent in it to faint for us to smell.or see so even if he washed it it's hard to get rid of that smell so probably have to keep making fresh ones, same thing when using this mouse traps that snap their neck and kills them that scent will be all over it and warning the others not to go near it!

[@berniemorales9072]

[@ravenlorans]

Work Better if you put Peanut Butter on the Peanut so the Scent of it Draws them in... And Did Anyone Notice that it Started Chewing It's Way Out??? and would have been Gone By Morning? Metal Cans would have been Way Better so they could Not Chew their way out. Also Regular Snap Traps work better when you Shove a Sunflower Seed into the Trigger so they have to Tug on it to get it out and by Lubing the Latch part with Peanut Butter.

[@anthonydeleeuw]

I like watching other types of mouse traps that are actually successful. On the same time I would not want to deal with a live mouse or rat after catching one. I bought the Victor electric rat trap. They have cheaper ones with only AA batteries which can’t be taken apart to clean up a mess. So I searched KZbin and saw one that took 4”D” batteries, with the option to add another battery pack. The 4 AA battery one will kill 20 rats or 100 mice. I found a nice 4 “C” battery Victor rat trap at Home Depot and I have had great success with it. It sends you a notification to your phone once it has caught a rodent. The roof slides off with easy access to clean their mess. It has a cupboard door that opens up, on the bait trap end, to put peanut butter in it. On my first morning it had 3 dead mice laying on top of each other, over the electric pad. Four hours later I caught another one. This one with the 4 “C” batteries will kill 100 rats or 300 mice before running dead. The 4 “D” battery rat trap, with the extra battery pack, is suppose to last for a year.

i've seen many vids on ways to trap these critters. City mice are a cut above, they don't fall for conventional spring loaded traps, sticky pads,etc.I was a tech in NYC and one day, up on the 76th floor in the World Trade Center, i saw glue traps under the raised computer floor. The operator told me they had some of the critters up there and would chew on some wires, a big no no with mainframe connections in the computer room. They sure as hell didn't get on the elevators and press the button, likely just climbed on the miles of cables or were somehow brought up in boxes from the loading dock area. I applaud the different ways people devise to get rid of them, some might work depending on the rodent's IQ, but i still think the best way is to figure out how the hell they got in the house in the first place and take the steps to seal it up.

[@olavimuff]

That's true. And in summary, it's a rather ineffective trap. If you want to get mouse alive I think its much better to get metallic cage, add door and platform. Door will close when mouse step on platform or something like that. And the environment should be less dangerous through the eyes of a mouse.

[@Acorn0005]

The issue is that the trap design gives them a starting point to chew at the hole. If the mouse is in a bottle with no perforations or edges then they can't get a tooth on the smooth plastic. If you stand up a case of empty plastic soda bottles with no caps and out it in your shed or garage, the mice will climb down the throat of the bottle to get the sweet soda droplets left in the bottle bottom (if they are small mice) and get trapped in the bottle. They can't get a purchase on the smooth plastic to climb out, and they can't bite into the smooth plastic.

[@thelatiosmaster]

The concept is good, but there are some problems about how effective it could be. Rats can chew through plastic bottles like nothing, so unless you are really quick it can just break out it. Plus since this is a live catching trap there is a chance that the rat gets hurted like having its tail cutted.

[@reasoningtruth]
