How to make ● a simple SODA BOTTLE HUMANE MOUSETRAP (that works!)

This is another of my best and easiest homemade humane mouse traps!. Easy to build, easy to bait, easy to release and best of all, it's humane and there's no springs or levers to wind up or load! The mouse or vole cannot escape or chew his way out of this mouse trap. Mice are not harmed in any way during capture. As a matter of fact, the mouse and vole remain very calm as you'll see in the video since there is no slamming doors or snapping latches to scare him! Mice can be released calmly and easily without fear of getting bitten even by the most "fearful of mice" person!! Simple operation makes this diy mouse vole trap fun and easy to build and adjust for easy trapping and best of all easy release. Just use a dab of peanut butter to bait the trap. It's the best do it yourself humane live release mouse vole trap you'll find! A cola, pop or soda bottle and a few other common items is all you'll need. I'll be building a humane squirrel trap next so you can capture and release squirrels easily too so subscribe and don't miss my upcoming "diy humane squirrel trap". Thanks for watching.

[@blizzard2099]

I just saw the most horrible thing on a homemade electric mouse trap video... it took forever for the animal to die. If it wasn't sad enough, the comments under there enraged me! I don't understand that need for cruelty. So... I'm grateful there's people like you around sharing creative and harmless ways to solve that same problem. Thanks.

[@arizonaslotwins1414]

I found that there is no need to drill any holes at all! Wood screws screw right into the wood and if you heat the paper clips they slide right through the plastic lid and the same for the clothes hanger piece, it can be heated and melts right through the bottle. It was easier for me than breaking out the drill and cut construction time to less than 10 minutes. Also, alternatively to using a clothes pin I used a paper clasp. Same concept but more available since I didn't have a clothes pin. Those are my tweaks to this design. :)

[@gupta5882]

Of all the DIY mouse traps this one is most awesome, simple and really humane one. I was actually able to build one and it worked flawlessly. Thanks.

[@chrisnotap]

Thanks. They don't hesitate to go in, they almost like it.

[@dansb9726]

Thanks for the excellent design and sharing the video. I built my own and tried this out: Night 1: the mouse took the bait, but then chewed through the base of the plastic bottle to escape! Night 2:I used a tougher plastic bottle and reinforced the base with a piece of round tupperware that fortunately fitted tightly around it. The mouse took the bait but then managed to escape back through the entrance, as the cap wasn't held in place firmly enough. Perhaps my coat hanger was not of good enough quality! Night 3: With a reinforced bottle and a reinforced cap (I stacked some weights behind it) I trapped the mouse and released it to some fields a couple of miles away!

[@grimmdolly8660]

I actually like this! This might be a neat trap to have a cub scout troop build for fun.

[@chrisnotap]

I was a cub leader years ago and yes, this would be a great thing for them to build.

[@rha207]

Simple, humane, and elegant. I've tried others but for me this is the best. Thanks.

he smarts yes, and he also cruel. go watch his another video that have squirrel stuck inside a bottle dying.

Ctrl, it wasn't dying. I'm sure he would have let it out before the squirrel would have died.

[@BobCindyL]

Thankyou for sharing.

[@theinkbrain]

I recognise your mouse accomplice/collaborator from your previous videos. It won't be long before he's going to wise up and join the actors' union and then its going to cost you.

Beautyful! Simple, clear, and human to the mouse. Would build one if we had mice. I like also your hardware texts (on the paper slip).

[@chrisnotap]

Wasn't sure about that at first, the paper, but it works, thanks.

[@EDavidM100]

awesome simplicity, I have used metal hangers for lots of stuff but I have to hide them from my wife because she will toss them LOL thank you for this project excellent cheers David

[@CinematixActionProd]

Awesome video Chris, great idea!!

[@Catstorm99]

Wow I didn't think that mouse would fit through that hole in the bottle. Excellent kind trap!

[@milmaxleo7268]

Rodents usually can fit thru any hole they can get their head into, While I am not very familiar with mice I have pet rats and they are very flexible, Partly due to a collapsible rib cage.

[@davidfarmer2049]

Neat. Thanks for sharing. Love the slider idea for the cap....... wonder what else you a could apply that to.

[@sandor139]

[@LeilaGhauri]

Omg why are they so cute >

[@MahjoubDahair]

The best part ever is that the mouse kept on eating happily, not even noticing that it got trapped :D

[@chrisnotap]

I have made 4 traps now that work on the same principle and all of the mice barely react when they go into it. They stay very calm.

[@MahjoubDahair]

That's brilliant Chris! I like it :) Where do you let the mouse go afterwards. This trap doesn't kill, so you will not get rid of mice as they likely come back again

[@claudrios59]

Excellent, I have used it, but I added a piece of wire at the end that locks the bottle so it won't move after the mouse gets in. Muy buena trampera te felicitó.

Omg I'm SOO relieved that he let the mouse goI THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA LET IT SUFFOCATE AND I WAS LIKE, "Awww poor mouse!!!! NUUUUUUUUUUU"

[@JohnnyJet62]

I built this mouse trap and caught the mouse in our house on the first night! It is a little bit tricky to get the bottle cap to set flat against the bottle opening when it is in the "closed" position, but that might have something to do with the shape of the bottle I used (a plastic Coke bottle). That is not a complaint, it is just a feature that you have to get right. Anyway, the mouse was healthy and alive, and we released him in a field to live out the rest of his days. Thanks, Chris!

[@chrisnotap]

+JohnnyJet62 Glad it worked for you. The cap is a bit fussy but with it being adjustable in all directions makes it a bit easier.

[@JohnnyJet62]

I added to your design by gluing pieces of wood to the base of the 2x4 extending out under the bottle. These were added to keep the apparatus upright if the mouse gets active while in the bottle. On one of these, I added another piece of wood which acts to stabilize the cap. I don't know how to upload a picture of it, so I hope I explained it well...

[@MultiPleaser]

Had mice in my walls for years, and when my useless cat died, all the neighborhood cats started coming around. The property was sterilized in six months. My walls, too! Mice, voles, moles, chipmunks, snakes... all gone. (And the skunks ate all our grubs, too.) No hazardous chemicals were needed.

[@chrisnotap]

+MultiPleaser Natural predatory animal and grub control. Doesn't get much better. Sounds like you need to patch a bunch of entry points on your house.

[@danielvillarreal5000]

Im glad you dont kill them, but release them

[@PareshVaktania]

can we trap with a bigger mouth of the bottle coz the mouse here wont fir in this bottle he needs a bigger mouth bottle....

[@markissboi3583]

👨‍💻YOU COULD Paint NASA 🚀 on the bottle & a Sign 📓 Mouse wanted 👍😆🥇Apply within > 🍾 OH if i could be bothered be a lol

[@lattermanstudio]

Excellent !!! and I bet it's scalable for larger rodents :)

[@joegilbert2048]

nice trap but why turn it loose so it can come back I think you should mark the mouse and see how many times you catch it

[@truthfinder4973]

wow cool glade i watch this i dont like to kill nothing!!!!!!!! i got too get mice out are home we live in a moble home its a must, case i heard of some one that had mice so bad there mobile home wall gave. mice have a right to live like we do im pro humane. i can see if its too late.

[@ArnoldOlisRomero]

me gusta porque no se hace daño al animal, pero para tamaños de roedores mas grandes.... esta dificil

[@joyabraham9441]

It is creative ...

[@chrisnotap]

+Joy Abraham Thanks. I am almost ready to upload another trap for mice and rats made from a 3" PVC pipe. Also very simple.

[@joyabraham9441]

very cute mouse you have but I have bigger mouse and he is so intelligent that he scan the trap.

[@Mossfaerie]

Can mice not chew through a plastic bottle?

[@chrisnotap]

Yes they can.....but they need an edge to start. There is no edges for them to start to chew inside of these bottles.

[@sushi8248]

Does this trap work for all mice? Or are all mine the same size?

[@DantHimself]

they can squeeze through very tiny holes

[@sushi8248]

Lol thx

[@ScienceDiscoverer]

Yes, they don't usually grow bigger than this. And they can squeeze through very small holes.

[@chrisnotap]

The one in the video was the fattes that I had caught! All the others I caught were smaller.
