To make it work as a live trap: I'd try adding some oil to the bottom, just like you did with the glass bowl mouse trap. If they can't get traction, they can't jump out.

[@peterheidgerd5418]

The skunk needed more upper arm and shoulder strength!! 😂

[@posh_x]

[@terryv]

Why not coat the bottom of the bucket with peanut oil, to make it too slippery for a rat to jump out? (Edited - changed cooking oil to peanut oil.)

[@muskokamike127]

or just make the thing a kill trap and be done with it. I seriously think shawn doesn't want to rid the barn etc of vermin otherwise if he did, he couldn't make any more videos. This catch and release is bs......if they are in your building, they should be dispatched poste haste.

[@alexisgrunden1556]

It's not just about traction, it's about leg power. Rats are physically capable of jumping a lot higher and farther, so I agree with Muskoka Mike ; just kill the beastie and be done with it.

You need to start doubling up buckets for a higher sides

[@recoveringsoul755]

this looks like a taller bucket. Need to allow for water level deep enough to drown them, but not allow dipping the tip of plank in the water

[@daniels5780]

Stacking buckets doesn't make them deeper. Need a taller and wider bucket - wide enough that the bait can't be reached from the rim.

[@mikemorgan5015]

If you put a soft pad like memory foam or perlite or styrofoam beads in the bottom to absorb their jumping thrust, it should make it nearly impossible for them to jump out.

That's a beginner's mistake, when dealing with rats, ALWAYS expect them to excrete all over things.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

It looks to me like the sensor should be moved an inch or so more back towards the middle. And the sensor should be a strip across, not a circle.

Mounted on a 50 gallon oil drum they can't jump out of that be a live catch trap you'd be able to get my rats and probably even ground squirrels

[@bunzeebear2973]

ground squirrels are day time creatures that stick to the trees mostly(chipmunks). However if you are talking about marmots, if you don't catch them they will come knocking on your front door to hand you out a religious tract. (Mormon - marmot sounds the same to my mom.) Marmots will invade a garden that is full of veges (so will Mormons). They do keep the school grounds clean of left over pizza and other food the kids toss and miss the garbage barrels. It is interesting to watch a marmot fight a crow and seagull for the same food...which sometimes happens.

[@Coneshot]

If you out about 2" of water in the bottom, it wont kill them and they cant jump out. A bit of oil might work also.

[@bunzeebear2973]

Hell, get some roofing TAR that does not dry and make it "Le Brea" tar pit like. They have only found whole dinosaurs in it.

[@yt650]

Cut the bottom out of one bucket stick it into the top of another one and you went from 18 inches to probably 33 or 34 inches.

[@victoryoneable]

This, or use a proper bin. Also, the trap needs to be bigger so the rat has to walk right out onto it far enough that it can't latch on with its back feet.

[@eamonahern7495]

I think the pack rat which is often featured on these videos is great. I hope he never gets caught. This reminds me of Elmer Fudd versus Bugs Bunny.

[@thomasewing2656]

The walk the plank is so sensible and simple but to prevent critters from changing their mind and going back down the ramp, have a little 'pusher' triggered by the rat merely reaching the top. He'll have no choice but to walk the plank.

Could the sensor be moved closer to the base, in other words, away from the tip? They feel the steepness and rather not go down there but they sit in the middle so that’s where it could be and still drop maybe.

I read that they made an experiment with rats. The put the rat in a bucket full of water and they measured that the rat gave up and stopped swimming after 15 minutes. At this point they saved him, they dryed it and put again in the water. This time the rat swam for 60 hours (!!) before surrender. It seems that the memory of being rescued gave him unimaginable strength...
