To add, maybe an orange tip on the stick to indicate a trigger trip. I'm un Wisconsin, and we fish through the ice with "tip-up" rigs. They have a little orange flag on the tip when a fish tugs on the string. Also, a simple lock will keep the door closed. Screen door kind is smaller.

Awesome trap demo Malc. Love the trigger... very sensitive. Bet that would work well catching squirrels and rabbits to. Thanks, Andy

Fantastic trap Malc, fairly straight forward. Great vid as always 🐻👍

Good evening from Belgium, making a rat trap following your tutorial, 2 rats were caught less than 2 hours after placing it near my henhouse. I just have to rework the trigger but already efficient. I also have replaced the elastics with an ajustable spring to prevent other rats from gnawing. I have a picture of it but I can't share it here Thanks for your video

[@JJRSURVIVAL]

nice one my friend , glad it worked good for you , i have done some more modifications to the trap myself i have now put metal springs on it and made a latch to lock the door, it is on my channel somewhere, thanks again

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

well done mate, seen people use these for rabbits but iv never been able to bait rabbits before its hard

[@JJRSURVIVAL]

BUSHCRAPPING we used to catch rabbits in cage traps by baiting with apples cut up and cover the whole thing in fresh apple tree branches . The rabbit liked chewing the branches and then went in the trap for the apple

great idea, I might have to try one of these

This is great. I made it and caught a pesky squirrel that had been eating up my mangoes. The Squirrel was later released in a park where people love feeding them. **No animals harmed in this operation*** Update: on 8-11-20, I caught two more in the trap. I used bread with peanut butter on it and squeeze the bread around the trigger. He too got released about 4 miles from my home in a nature park

[@MrDandan170]

come to Arizona , Ive caught 100 rats and mice in the last two months here in the desert , now the traps are left alone , using old style victor traps and i guess they are new , Koro Rodent trap ..... Koro needs to do some tweeking with the design but damn its a thumb breaker with powerful springs , the kill bar sometimes just hits them in the head and kills them without really trapping it .... check it out if you get the chance , maybe you could improve it with your skills

You could put small magnets on the trap and corresponding screw heads on the door, when it shuts it’ll be solid, this will be extra to stop it pushing it’s way out.

Design looks sound to me, although, a big Norway rat might overcome the rubber band closure system.

[@JJRSURVIVAL]

cheers mate , i may try to put a lock/catch of some sort on it when i can .

[@jamiebetts3923]

Make another door at the back it saves you having to put you arm in to bait it it can get messy in there.👍

[@JJRSURVIVAL]

good idea jamie , cheers

[@daztheman552]

Put a flag on top or paint the end of the bar , you can see its activated from a long way .

[@deano386]

got my first live trap this morning witht the ready made traps took it out to the field and let the terrier dispatch it. is that a good idea been told because of what they carry might harm my terrier? am i bettef just to shoot it or dunk it etc? ps doing the trap mod you did pushing the trip back to the back and removing the rear door did you use a tent for the top bar?

[@JJRSURVIVAL]

If I can remember right it was a nail

[@randybeeson3424]

Great idea! Could be stepped up in size for other critters. Just drop it in a bucket of water the kill what you catch. My boss thinks I should work that fast.

Works well on your finger when carrying the primed box to the location 😀

[@lifebetweenraindrops]

Like the design but am concerned rubber bands are not secure from escape. If I were to build, I would use a latch that swings into place as door closes, a trip catch if you will.

[@donaldbarnett8045]

That is a rabbit trap and there is no need to use rubber bands the door can be made to slide down by gravity. I and my cousins up in Arkansas made this type of trap for rabbits when we were kids we learned to make them from our fathers that makes them a 100 years old and our fathers learned them from our grand fathers that makes them some were around 200 years old.

[@JJRSURVIVAL]

cheers mate

[@betajeyaraj2183]

This trap is similar to the one we have in India.Very very effective . We caught rats in India regularly!!But there are 2 springs instead of 2 rubber bands. Hope this model is good too.

[@betajeyaraj2183]

We have metal bait rod and not wooden rod.

[@JJRSURVIVAL]

thank you i have now put metal springs on it

[@JJRSURVIVAL]

good idea , better than a wooden bait rod

[@betajeyaraj2183]

Tiny mice may escape through the wire netting! Closer wire netting is good.

[@jeprissihotangkicaupikat6610]

Very good

[@habiballah309]

احسنت عملا يا رجل 🌺

[@JoeSyxpack]

Needs some sort of latch to keep it closed. The rats around here have already proven they can force their way out of a Haveahart trap, those rubber bands wouldn't pose a problem for them. Although that's a simple enough modification.

[@roycarter6235]

I will give that a go thanks

[@justyuyun1557]

Use magnet on the bottom of the trap door to keep it lock after it shut .

[@MrAdamNTProtester]

should use springs rather than elastic bands they can push out & other rats can chew through them & allow for escape [8: 46 check... I should have watched whole video 1st!] nice simple trap Also you can just set the thing in a tub of water & drown the rat

[@JJRSURVIVAL]

i agree mate , cheers

[@rickycaruana8925]

Hi you are very clever you can put sping on the sides once the door shuts the mouse can't come out

In India the rat will bite the rubber band before entering the trap!

External trigger linkage makes the trap vulnerable to external trigger trips resulting in a no catch.

[@brianmgrim]

Good observation, just needs a little external shielding.

[@daveb8176]

Great trigger, but need a locking mechanism on door when closed

[@JJRSURVIVAL]

I have a lock in the door now

[@TheCaperfish]

shooting just make a mess , dunk whole trap in bucket of water , that will fix em

[@JJRSURVIVAL]

not legal to do that here but yes it would work

[@doncleasby3087]

Would the trigger be pushed more than pulled by rat or mouse? Could have it trigger from side. Trigger is easy to move.

[@JJRSURVIVAL]

yes you could do that

[@jimcampbell8061]

I've seen several designs like that but a rat can trigger the trap by crawling on top of it thus rendering it useless until reset.

[@fabfaco8271]

It's a good idea, but when the rat wants to go out, it eat the wood. ( sorry for my english)

I think the rubbe bands are too weak, he rat will push the door and escape, I made myself all metal with a wicked spring, overkill, but that required a welder.
