Mink Man's Amazing Rat Trap - How To Catch The Smartest Trap Shy Rats. Mousetrap Monday

[@JosephCartertheMinkMan]

Awesome video! Thanks for the shoutout, and I'm glad the trap worked as well for you as it does for me!

[@N1664datsnvtz]

More collabs! Twin Home Experts was good enough but Shawn Woods is another level.

[@ByHerHand]

The fact that both you and Shaun posted this as a free, tried and tested way of catching a rat with stuff that we may already have laying around, or is relatively inexpensive- is excellent. Thankyou to both of you.

[@JeanChordeiles]

So simple and brilliant, I wish I had the idea ! Thank you ! 👍

[@frikkiesmit327]

Awesome trap sir!!!!!

[@AB-ye7bw]

Such a smart innovative idea!

[@JatuliaButeo-rp6hv]

The collab we all needed

[@TonyToniTone05]

I can’t believe i’ll be watching and enjoying this more than netflix

[@ddsmitty1]

that rat is sitting there like "how did i get into THIS mess..."

[@peatmoss4415]

Again...... Packy is a regular.

[@AidenHaigh-nf7zi]

Why is there never any Music in his videos?????!!!!!

[@johnmead8437]

Much KZbin music leads to "mute" . Particularly instructions and activity subjects.

[@boblob3509]

“Another day, another cheese piece”

[@MatsLindgrenMusic]

"Yup... that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation..."

[@MrRushepoo]

now that worked nicely. never seen a trap quite like this. thanks for sharing.

[@9and7]

One of the GREAT collabs in YT history. Well done!

[@daves.9479]

What a brilliant idea to leverage a regular old snap trap in this way! Love it...

[@billbucktube]

Rat is munching contentedly when suddenly he is launched instead of lunched. Confusion reigns.

[@rgruenhaus]

Just needs a lift handle

[@lesliefranklin1870]

Definitely.

[@jeffreyyoung4104]

And a plate to guard the hand, even if you wear gloves!

[@vwvw4]

Great that you recognized Joseph's trap.

[@mshea093]

I love this! When I bought my house years ago, had some mice- KZbin brought me here, and eventually to the Mink Man... Been fans ever since!

[@dougpearce8019]

What a slick trap! You could also use it for squirrels and chipmunks.

[@lovelightcontinuum]

Great video. Just watched the Mink Man instructions. I'm going to make one of these for my neighbor who has rats moving into her cellar.

[@PINTandDALE]

Wow! That is some brilliant lateral thinking! Awesome!

[@Brian-uy2tj]

I've watched a number of Mr. Carters videos over the years. It is amazing how he is able to work so well with minks. Great idea for a rat trap too!

[@Vanadisir]

So happy to hear you guys know each other!!

[@davidchristensen6908]

The mink man is amazing. Have been watching his channel for years.

[@ZergRadio]

At long last! Need one for my mother-in-law!

[@DaremoKamen]

Turned a rat trap into a ratapult.

[@dannyh9010]

You win the internet today! 🤣

[@chubbrock659]

heyyy, good to see you sharing Josephs trap! I made a trap similar to this at a sleepaway camp as a kid. super effective!

[@thenewberrym.c.914]

I love you covered this. I was telling my son about this trap and I am seriously considering making one.

[@snowballil3133]

Shawn and Joseph Great colab

[@janicesmyth2183]

Hi Shawn. Thank you for sharing minkmans rat trap! I need one for my garden

[@ldwhitehorn2560]

Hey Shawn, nicely done and thanks for the video

[@JeanChordeiles]

So simple and brilliant ! Thank you to both of you !

[@dustinjr1993]

KZbin would explode if Shawn and Joseph for in the same video

[@heyoldman2003]

thank you Shawn and Mink man . i have tried so many different traps to catch rats in the chicken house with zero results. 🤷🏼‍♂️ well …, here we go 😎

[@KitaKat00]

Ooo weee I am early!! Love the videos!

[@CaptainMarvelsSon]

How clever! *rat moving, cautious of the cage-like hole onto the nex... SNAP!* "Wha... what just happened?"

[@giorgiofrego]

The collab we were expecting after seein Joseph Video, glad to see two youtubers from similar topic interact What is this, a crossover episode?

[@Andrew_O]

That is indeed just a brilliantly simple idea...

[@priscillacolwell1582]

Excellent design. Thank you for sharing.

[@bigliftm]

Shawn needs to get the slowmo guys as a guest to slowmo the rat launch!

[@macmyers8143]

Great stuff!

[@shannonsmith495]

This is AWESOME!!!! Thanks Shawn

[@antoniohorta5656]

Awesome. Driving to get supplies as I write this

[@TriflingToad]

don't do that

[@EnraEnerato]

Ladies, gentlemen and others, we are proud to introduce to you the "Minkman rat yeeter"!

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

That is positively *diabolical* And so simple to built too!

[@joanbennettnyc]

I'm a lawyer representing the family of the rat. We'd like to know what happened to him (don't worry, they don't want him back, he was delusional and thought he operated a French chef) But, wasn't that a pack rat you caught?

[@fjb4932]

No. ☆

[@redrooben]

Turned a kill trap into a live trap. Nice!

[@MrOwusu-Arko]

Hey Shawn when will you do a collab with the Twin Home Experts.

[@kaosaechao2659]

Very Cool Traps Brother i Like it i don’t know how to Build The Traps i just buying from the store i do Traps A Few of Those Rats From my backyard but i just Release Them In The Wild i don’t Kill Them i Set Them Free Thanks For Sharing us Your Videos Love it I’m Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦🙏😁👍👍👌

[@DirMichaelDavid]

great idea

[@CNCmachiningisfun]

Another advantage of this trap is that it can't really bite you, if you trigger it - while setting it :) .

[@davidblake8612]

It would be interesting to see some sort of test where you have a few of these, and a few other traps and see which traps catch the most.

[@fouresterofthetrees287]

Wood rat or Norway?

[@BootsEditor11]

That's a Wood or aka Pack Rat. I'm dealing with them, caught my share but my property seems to be built on the best ecosystem. They like my wifes cars. The other day one that may have had a nest in it, jumped out covered in babies at the gas station, ran around her a couple times, and then disappeared under the car. Perhaps still there! arrrgghhh

[@fouresterofthetrees287]

@@BootsEditor11 I had that issue with eastern gray squirrels. Chewed up the fuel lines on my work truck and the injector pipe on my son's car.

[@BootsEditor11]

@@fouresterofthetrees287 I've heard car mfrs use a soy based plastic on some things and rodents will chew them!

[@fouresterofthetrees287]

@@BootsEditor11 I have heard that too, but just the wire insulation. I am not sure how well soy would hold up to contact with petroleum for extended periods. The mechanic at our agency shop knew exactly what had happened when he saw the fuel lines torn up. Said I was lucky no one dropped a lit cigarette nearby when I stopped for coffee on my way to work.

[@SaycoRa]

Good work Crawdaddy.

[@douglasrock9414]

Been following these two guys for years now. Both are at the top of my list of must see/ frequent checking to see list. Shawn is great and has a super show here. Minkman Joseph Carter is also a must see channel. Don’t overlook him. These are solid, Honest family men that happen to be very talented, unique and creative in their respective pest control fields of expertise. This was a bonus for me… BOTH of these guys in one video 👍🏻 Oh.. shout out to Greg Ovens Rocky Mountain Bushcraft. He fits in here very well with his own niche . Check him out, too. Thanx, Shawn👍🏻

[@bylersbanter9546]

Shawn I'm a big fan. I want to buy a Dizzy Dunker before winter. How do I know which is the real one on Amazon?

[@IndigoPuma]

Click on "About" on the video description and you'll see Shawn's channel. At the top you'll see "5 more links". Click on that for a list of links, including one to the Dizzy Dunker on Amazon.

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

A rare trap, able to catch rats. But putting grass or straw over the platform/door will be a lot less weight, allowing the door to more surely close, and at a faster speed. Thanks for showing.

[@lacipolyak8963]

What have you done with the rat?

[@kjbirk4766]

❤ your work! ❤

[@feuby8480]

What a nice idea, wow. I wonder : do oldstyle traps with like a big rock and little wood trigger works against smart rats too ? I mean it's all natural so I guess it works ?

[@versloceanverslocean7828]

Thank you for this video. If I understand you correctly, this system is like a snap trap, but instead of killing the rat, it traps it into the cage ? I find the idea of covering with dust interessant, even with just one snap trap alone.

[@l.quranhubbard5275]

Coming soon to Amazon, pre-made copies.

[@bobmiller1973]

So what happened to the rat? What did you do with it?

[@Paul-044]

That's a awesome idea

[@AB-ye7bw]

Great Innovation!

[@martinmitchellhunter7087]

Seriously, so smart!

[@harveyloveall7066]

Have you ever thought of publishing a book? So much knowledge on a variety of subjects.

[@bobmcbob4399]

Wonder if Minkenry developed a deterrent for mink assassin long pigs?

[@catherinequigley569]

Joseph is a smart guy

[@derricklou4075]

Great idea that works

[@surf6009]

Dang. Be good to know more trap.

[@Allclear75]

Cool Idea, But I think I'll modify it if I make one. I'd make it more like a Venus Fly Trap.

[@mysteryGuySaysHi]

how did the soft toy mouse walk? i didnt get it wores? green screen? what happened there?

[@rubygray7749]

String

[@chubbrock659]

magic!🪄

[@peatmoss4415]

fishing line and fairy dust

[@XtraOrdinar-y]

Cool

[@charlesdbruce]

Excellent!

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

This trap is kind of goofy, but I like it for that reason 😂😂

[@alexjames1146]

That is superb.

[@jimc336]

Brilliant!

[@julesbarta362]

Ingenious!

[@EgaTehPro]

GENIUS!

[@christinehasbrouck715]

Will this work with squirrels?

[@chrism3839]

The smart rats been watching starwars.

[@whatgej]

Is that a native rat or an invasive one to be humanely dispatched?

[@Guesswho-x4o]

That's cool!

[@jamespatton9806]

Question is: native or invasive species?

[@peatmoss4415]

Native, it's known as a pack rat (wood rat).

[@PapiDoesIt]

Mr. Packrat didn't know what happened.

[@superdave1921]

How many rats could the Mink Man catch if the Mink Man could catch rats? As many as he wants to!

[@GameMasterpg]

That trap is also hands safe Vs use the snap trap by it's self

[@lasersbee]

Smart idea...

[@protox07]

Awesome

[@ChadWSmith]

Sir, are you magic? How did you make the living plushie?

[@henrydjr]

How about making the trap out of clear plastic?

[@CFG-A3s]

I legit thought you were using a green screen in the beginning lol

[@dustinh4175]

Just saw this on the mink man

[@robertoghinato5754]

Wonder what happened to the rat afterwards?

[@paulwright8695]

Genius

[@drexterbabin973]

Putting some AstroTurf on my door instead of dirt.

[@LeesChannel]

What happened to the rat?

[@yakacm]

Sean relocated him to a retirement home in the Caribbean.

[@galeclaw]

What kind of rat did you catch?

[@donbishow5497]

All we need is punji sticks on the back wall of the trap .

[@skyhigh6]

Rat A to E, geart idea. You gotta think like a rat.

[@rudolfjacobs6452]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mikedunn7795]

Ingenious,but a lot of work for a trap that catches one rat at a time.

[@abidanjose4109]

👊👊👊💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍

[@TrappyJenkins]

Wait, was it a local rat? did you let it go?!

[@peatmoss4415]

It was a native wood rat also known as a pack rat.

[@Breeda420]

This trap is named the rat trap-apult. You're welcome. If you want to trademark and copyright that I need my cut.

[@jamesdenny4734]

Rats come in different sizes. Will it catch large rats? 🐀

[@FishKepr]

Anyone else briefly think that Shawn started using CGI special effects?😅
