When Shawn puts a “counter” on the screen, we know for sure it’s a great mouse trap. No “counter”, we also know what the story is.

[@aynamibrad7565]

Exactly 😂😂😂

[@jyoster6447]

I do agree on having a deeper bucket. I would also recommend making the paddle out of material that the mice can't grip on, like metal.

[@bobthegoat7090]

Or maybe just sanding down the wood or giving it a coating

[@theYoutubeHandle]

and put a cat at the end of the bucket

[@bobdole870]

If you really wanted to go overkill, plastic with a coating of peanut oil. No way they’ll be able to grab on to that.

[@raymondjames1341]

I love it when a mouse pushes another mouse into the trap 😀

Maybe the board is too easy for the mice to grip but I'm actually impressed by the mice agility to jump out

[@wolfthorn1]

That's what I was thinking. A plastic paddle might work better. Or cover the board in laminate.

[@alexhunter721]

Maybe some oil or butter instead bait on the bottom of the bucket work against jumping off the ground

[@chuckb1448]

​@alexhunter721 put water in the bottom and help them to be eliminated

[@WowUrFcknHxC]

Mice and rats are ridiculously agile animals. They're kind of amazing.

[@jamiecapes2644]

Those little devils that got away need to be caught in deep water. Grease the board with peanut oil.

[@JamesKing2understandinglife]

The board just needs to be slick plastic perhaps. Wonderful fun design!

[@TheLizardKing1967]

Looks like an Amusement ride at Six Flags....😆

[@JeanYvesBouguet]

Super entertaining video! It really sucks to be the non-native mouse in the bucket. 😂

[@jeangemmel7895]

You've got to feel sorry for the 'outsider'.

[@snappycattimesten]

Is a non native mouse really any different? I think it’s ridiculous.

[@snappycattimesten]

@@gigaslave how’s so?

[@davinhart1349]

@@snappycattimesten just as an example, here where i live non-native ladybugs were introduced via food imports and they have driven the native ladybugs to near extinction. non-native animals also introduce non-native diseases and parasites that native species aren't used to dealing with and have no resistance to.

[@russellhltn1396]

I'll give it 5 stars for entertainment value. I think it's the best one yet.

[@kentslocum]

I like how most of the mice didn't bother trying to escape once they discovered that the bottom of the bucket was full of sunflower seeds.

[@kathrynparker1748]

Very entertaining watching mice holding on and some finally losing their grip, this one really made me laugh good and made my day.

[@franklegerski9682]

Deeper bucket? Plastic board? Love your channel.😮

[@davidspinney2664]

This looks like a good idea one thing that might improve it is instead of wood use either plexi glass or real glass with smooth edges they would have a harder time griping it with their claws.

[@pixelmator]

Peanut oil and a glass bowl was one of only a couple traps that I actually got results from. The platform or teeter totter styles never took off for me, although the design looks good.

[@eamonahern7495]

I like this trap. I'm so used to seeing the shorts every day that it's a treat (and sometimes a pleasant surprise, like today 😆) to get the longer form Monday and Friday videos.

[@johnlord8337]

Definitely works - just need a higher bucket to stop crawl outs ...

[@GaisaSanktejo]

You already mentioned the bucket not being deep enough, but I also believe the ply was too easy for the rodents to grip and as others mentioned, a plastic version should be more effective.

[@cliffcannon]

Some people have a flea circus ... Shawn has a mouse circus!

[@Elenesski]

I'm curious how well it would work with a board that was made out of something they couldn't grab on to ... like some hard plastic. Also, I'd add a weight to the bottom of the bracket to prevent the board from ever point straight down.

[@chrisvorgert229]

Love seeing the critters!! Thank you

[@madhousepatient9994]

Shawn, add just a bit of peanut oil. They can't jump high if the're slipping. It wont take much.

[@thenerdbeast7375]

a counter weight so it always rests at an even flat position would work well too

[@marielg9143]

Love the video love the trap thinking about making this one. Thank you Shawn.

[@Brayro2k12]

great job love your mousetraps

[@genef1027]

The concept is good, but needs a much deeper bucket for that length of board. Maybe board could be an inch or two shorter, but not too much shorter because otherwise mouse won't tip the board angle far enough to fall in. I agree a 7 gallon bucket would be better choice, or add water.

[@jeangemmel7895]

It definitely would need to be a deeper bucket as some of them did get back out or as you say Shawn a mini swimming pool at the bottom of the bucket for a no return! Some of those wee beasties are really clever at sussing out how to get back onto the spindle xx Jean from Scotland.

[@nicholem4831]

@3:49 that deer is every 6 year old doing the “hey- you got games on your phone?” 😂😂😂

[@sueneilson896]

Have used a similar trap with great results. The main difference is I used a plastic counterweighted disk that was a slightly smaller diameter than the bucket, so very slippery, and won’t allow the mice to jump out. Also some water in the bucket to stop jumping.

[@chungkingcansuckit6345]

I loved this one. I'd love to see more videos of this with a larger bucket. It's kind of like a circus acrobat show.

[@nykole1963]

I'm sure a bit of oil on the bottom would be good too if you don't want to buy another bucket and don't want to kill the little guys.

[@junkmail6274]

For 2M viewers, you should build a giant version of this for trapping hogs....

[@honthirty_]

Why? He does not need a motorcycle.

[@HugoHugunin]

If the corners of the wood were sanded, round and waxed, I would think the mice would do less gymnastics and more "Kerplunking".

[@misternewoutlook5437]

It's about time that Shawn did a series of top ten single catch mouse traps, top ten single catch rat traps, and a top ten of multi-catch of each mouse and rat traps as well.

[@user-of5zg1ww8k]

Thank you for the work.

[@MyMy-tv7fd]

put a thin coating of vegetable oil on the board, then the mouse gets a light oiling on its paws and it loses grip and drops faster and cannot grip to leap out via the greasy board and its greasy paws

[@davidp2of3]

Might work better with sheet metal so they can't hold on and climb back up

[@pr59052]

My psiquiatrist: ---The "spider mouse" doesn't exist... The spider mouse: 1:24

[@Jason-gj1pu]

I use a dowel covered in pvc pipe and water in the bucket.

[@madtabby66]

I’m actually impressed!

[@LindaSmith-vq1br]

You might want to make the board a tiny bit shorter too

[@jamescromer550]

Nice trap. You're getting closer to my dream of a Catapult mouse trap. If that thing was spring loaded and launched them out and away, they could be plopped into a nearby pond or collection tub. No parachutes included.

[@ihcfn]

Curious if one species was better at escaping or more inclined to escape.

[@MrJameslar]

Place a counterweight at each side of the paddle. The paddle will return to a horizontal position after it dumps the mouse.

[@markiangooley]

I keep thinking “dear mice” when he says “deer mice.”

[@jasonz7788]

Awesome thanks 👍

[@PapiDoesIt]

That was fun to watch.

[@joshg6491]

I love these traps. Always gives me a good laugh

[@deeg8849]

Where are you based my man? Impressed by the wildlife near the beaver dam

[@FanOblues51]

I think he's in rural Oregon.

[@chubbrock659]

Oregon

[@vanq86]

Woo another mousetrap monday!

[@vladimir945]

Would it work if the board is fixed along the metal rod, not across it? Could still be enough for the mice to lose their balance and fall down, and then more difficult to grab an edge to climb back on top of it.

[@GrandizerGo]

Switching to a piece of acrylic might help keep them from grabbing on when they jump.

[@stephendaurie9344]

making the board a little shorter may prevent the mice from jumping back up and escaping

[@joanbennettnyc]

Put an 8th of an inch of peanut oil in the bottom and more will hop in and they won't be able to jump out

[@lbcsv]

Great trap!

[@paullanyi516]

Thanks!

[@jonesy3million26]

I would use perspex instead of a grippy wood for the rotating platform.

[@craigmooring2091]

If you don't want to use a deeper bucket, you could replace the wooden board with smoother, harder material, or maybe just epoxy the board.

[@SaycoRa]

Good work Crawdaddy.

[@shinypaintf588]

i wanna know have you talked about how you get that amount of mice for these videos???

[@mattf9096]

I wouldn't make any plank from wood since their claws are pretty much designed to climb that material. Get a strip of stainless and give it a second go.

[@peatmoss4415]

Good one...

[@biohazard1158]

please make more rolling log trap videos that is my favourite trap that I have discovered on this channel. I would really appreciate if you would make a video on that trap again after maybe a year or two? I don't know how long ago it was but please make more videos on it.

[@marathonrunner2590]

Who cares whether or not this particular trap works. It's great fun just watching the mice spin around and plop into the bucket. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@redactedbananas]

Use a small magnet to keep it horizontal after it spins.

[@peteredwards338]

Those mice have had circus training !

[@chuckb1448]

How did you get it to self level after each spin, weights?

[@imadeyoureadthis1]

Or you don't need to use a higher bucket but a shorter board?

[@scottshepard345]

If you put a soft pad on the bottom then they could not jump up as well. Maybe an inch thick layer of sunflower seeds would prevent them from jumping.

[@brucemartini2288]

Need deeper bucket and crisco around the PB

[@Taka-Kevz]

2nd mouse was hanging for his dear life😂

[@cmuller1441]

A aluminum plate instead of just wood would probably offer less grip to escape.

[@giftgiver]

I'm no rocket scientist but I'd call that a metal rod, not a wire 🤷‍♂️

[@dennisfisher1430]

This seems to be a way of evolving supermice

[@benthere8051]

Make the board out of very smooth plastic or Teflon.

[@MrEdwinHubble]

1:55 mouse goes propeller... Next up: mouse powered airplanes take over the green power challenge.

[@onemercilessming1342]

Deeper bucket??

[@tenchraven]

Stronger. Faster. Smarter. More agile. Shawn, you've forced them to evolve.

[@boneybone8123]

What are you doing afterwards with the mice you caught?

[@alexisgrunden1556]

Slightly shorter board, and a little sanding and polishing, to reduce the mice's traction, and this'll be great~ I feel the super-athletic mice deserve their win; they've earned it.

[@Walter-wo5sz]

I think you could start a mouse circus.

[@dandruff7807]

Replace the center revolving piece of wood with a tongue depresser..

[@ragnarocking]

maybe if the board was something more slick - like plexiglass - they wouldn't be able to hang onto it.

[@GameMasterpg]

All live bucket traps needs to be with a 5 foot bucket so the mice can't jump out.

[@Julmara]

or dont use a piece of wood but instead a piece of very smooth plastic so they cant hold on to well so they cant jump out at all as its just to slippery

[@brainardsinbrazil5274]

My 4 year old “this one’s just a toy for rats, they do funny things on it”

[@Ghav]

Yo did that mouse just walljump?

[@scottriggs1853]

I put water in the bottom with antifreeze so the water doesn't freeze and they can't jump out.

[@chubbrock659]

I think the mice were just having fun at this point 😂

[@darlatidwell6255]

It worked well enough to catch a few. 👍

[@PoetryInHats]

Shorter board?

[@russelrogers2540]

If the plank was made of plastic, I don't think the mice could hold on and use it to escape.

[@chrisnielsen27157]

Hi Shawn, I think the trap would work better if the plank was made of plastic ( slippery) good trap though

[@SameerAnsari0]

What if you add some water in your bucket theh couldn't jump off

[@paula3124]

Try remaking that trap with either a glass or plastic board, so the mice can't grip on, when they jump up.

[@user.A9]

Is ether (aka engine starting fluid) considered to be a method for humane dispatch? Asking for an acquaintance.

[@duncanbailey8142]

Question would that trap work for a rat

[@WayneWerner]

Acrylic with smoothed edges would be harder to grip

[@adolfocarranco2347]

Maby replace the wooden board with some sort of plastic or metal material seem like they have some grip on the wood 😅

[@AB-ye7bw]

I remember the bucket trap from a few videos ago that was nothing more than a bucket with a mouse ramp. Seeds and peanut butter was all that was needed. Seemed to be just as effective.🐀🪣
