Very cool video Shawn!

[@chuckecheese4124]

Sensitive people don't understand it when a tractor won't start because a rat or mouse chewed your wires up! Oh yeah not to mention the corn they've been eating up that you feed your livestock! Great work Shawn!

[@user-ze3oo4ui6m]

it isnt just that when they are eating the food they crap on it,plus its incredible how much damage they will do gnawing.

[@WheatThinPretzel]

that’s so lame youtube is flagging. ridiculous. all your videos are informative, educational, and entertaining! keep doing what you to best

[@alexkanehbosm4082]

It's time for a new platform, too much censorship

[@thewallaces9110]

Make one.

[@CaveManGrows]

I totally agree!

[@chrisclifford7080]

This channel is Very humane to Mice Not causing any Unnecessary pain Either way Those dunk traps full of water aren't that good for monitization but at least it beats Zapping mice On purpose For the fun of it Not even killing them

[@FungusMossGnosis]

@Erik Lerström Comparing the Google/KZbin platform to "basic capitalism"... no wonder you don't think this is censorship.

[@FungusMossGnosis]

@Erik Lerström When corporations and big tech monopolies control most of the means of expression, that's a basic system of censorship in itself. Late stage capitalism at work: nothing "basic" about it. This is not the free market and popularity deciding things, far from it. An extremely convoluted and unfair system to all but a select few. Your arrogance is depressing. This channel would be blocked or taken down if Shawn showed the whole humane process. When content is suppressed that doesn't meet approval of advertisers, that is suppression of speech. Curtailing monetization is just another layer in the injustice of the platform. The attack on free expression happens before that.

[@bren106]

Setting it up for a few nights with bait, but not armed, would possibly overcome their caution. Once they got used to finding food in it you can then arm it and *SPLAT* - success.

[@jusb1066]

yes baiting them is an old trick, shaun does know this , but i guess didnt have time to spenda few nights on one trap

[@markuzick]

What NONSENSE! How does the rat know it's not set? If it's too cautious to take the bait when it's set, it will also be too cautious when it's not set.

[@AR1G3]

@@markuzick No if nothing happens over time they will start to trust the trap a bit more, and possibly get a baby rat to investigate it. If it turns out to be safe they'll go in the trap. Once you catch a rat, you need to soak the trap in bleach or boil it and repeat the whole process, and in this case replace the noose.

[@joebob7344]

Thank you for not ruining your videos with music. I really like your channel.

[@Walter-wo5sz]

Just an idea for one of you designers. When I was in the Army you often find booby traps set with "secondary's". The first, maybe a tripwire, is left a little obvious. The real trap is placed to get somebody who steps around the tripwire or starts inspecting it. A trap designed to get the rat curious might be interesting.

[@MrKnutriis]

Walter 1408 I think that's called the bait

[@dougalexander7204]

Oh, come on You Tube, flagging Shawn’s videos? Really? These are awesome, as well as, relevant to human civilization. Surely you are aware there is a gut pile behind every Mc Burger? Hunting and trapping is fundamental to survival. With great skill and practicality this man is an educator.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Shawn, good job! Maybe if they won't let you show these working, "how to build antique mousetraps" might be the way to go. Too bad they think they need to censor things like this!

[@moondawg3354]

Muskrat I agree, use the second channel for the working part of it.

[@SandLion]

moondawg987 Aye, making a second channel seems like a good idea.

[@Meanoldwoman2013]

Oh hell yes. Skull had some dents.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Looked like it......they were really screwed! Did you see Shawn's other video showing it?

[@georgeapplegate3535]

The whiners are doubtless social justice warriors who instinctively sense that men who build machines in the real world are their enemies. Good instinct.

[@wearefreesd3305]

The trap master strikes again.

[@SirBeauJangles]

If rats are too cautious to be caught you can put it in several nights baited but not set so they get accustomed to a free nibble, then set it. Maybe even a week? Also maybe weathering the trap for a week or two will take away the man smell from your handling it. I always used to weather my rabbit snares for up to a month before setting them, then avoided direct manual contact by setting with thin leather gloves. We’re inclined to dismiss scent as an alarm factor with pest species I think...

[@UnholyRave666]

There are trap setups which gonna work without this kind of preperation.

[@SirBeauJangles]

You're obviously deeply wise in these matters O Master, bless us with Your Wisdoms? Please? Educate us who know nothing? Nice Master!

[@UnholyRave666]

Butthurt? Why? Just sharing a thought. That clip in your head, where i attempt to appear superior is kinda crazy. To be precise: Its a sign for strong narcissistic traits. The mechanism is called "projection" and leads to behavior where people put their thoughts of somebody or something upon a real person, while completely ignoring the person they project on. Maybe look it up.

[@SirBeauJangles]

The sarcasm was deserved. You simply and bluntly contradicted, offered no actual input. Why not? You've still offered not a thing of use to anyone. Any fool can make contradictions. As you have now proved quite well. As for a) the rest of your ill informed pscho-twaddle, - grow up. We're not impressed. and b) your "butthurt" attempted jab, rather looking like you have some proclivity issues there all of your own. Leave my butt out of your own sick projections. Worth repeating - there's still no added input from you re your simple approach that you say makes preceding observations redundant. And if you think that weathering traps or snares is irrelevant to their successful use, then your critturs behave differently from those I've dealt with all my days. And those of my gamekeeping contemporaries.

[@UnholyRave666]

Nope. You are just offended because somebody dared to tell you that there are ways which are less preperation intensive, which you interpreted as a personal insult. My lack of actual information would justify a simple question "And how?/ which methods are those?". Thats it. Would be absolutely sufficient to shut down people who have no clue/ expose those. Everything else you are babbling is just a extension of what i assumed before. -You are unreflected -Easily offended -Presumptuous And seemingly, already an "adult" person, which makes it worse. I wont waste any more time with your illness. Watch out.

[@tz3891]

Thx for adding the building part, love the mechanical engineer you learn from this

[@Matt-br5zt]

Thanks Shawn for the longer video.

[@stevenjpaulson]

Shawn, I enjoy the build of the mousetraps and your explanation on how they work. Thanks for all the videos.

[@DJT8]

KZbin is ruining KZbin. What else is new.

[@FungusMossGnosis]

Google got confused by their own mission statement and now do evil mostly.

[@jimf1964]

Shawn, have you thought maybe it's the scent of the materials? Maybe they don't like the pvc, or too much of your smell on it? I mean they like small tunnels, so I don't see any reason why they wouldn't go for it, unless they smell something.

[@Cherriedsalmonbowl]

One of my favorite videos so far. Excellent work Sean!

[@ronaldkondler5792]

Thank you Shawn! you make everything so interesting, and usable, as I too, have problems with rats, especially in my vehicle's engine compartment.

Can't believe it! You're actually posting a new episode on monday! I thought you're now everyday but monday.

[@enzorocha2977]

This channel and that of the Mink guy are my go-to's for my fix. Who knew watching videos of the various ways mice and rats (heck, the kingdom of rodents, really) get caught to be so satisfying. Thanks for all the work, Shawn!

[@Luckynewb]

Nice website! I'm glad you are proactive on getting your videos to your audience when youtube is trying to stop you.

great job viewer Tom! Shawn great instruction on assembly Thanks

[@cheewurz]

We have a nasty Rat problem here in the Southern California High Desert...and your right...they are Cautious! We find our Live Rodent Trap works the Best. The dogs do the rest !!!

[@anasalwash]

My advice is to wear gloves when you set the trap. These rats smell the human scent and making them hesitantm

[@mellimendelson2291]

Wear gloves and you can also scent mark any trap with old rodent bedding from pet rodent or get free from petshop.

[@a84334656]

Amazing, thank you

[@jonff3125]

Great job

[@BarackBananabama]

If you install two pipes side-by-side, it doubles as a pasta maker when you're not using it to catch unwanted rodents.

[@moondawg3354]

BarackBananabama best life hack to date

[@BarackBananabama]

It'll be nicer if you build one with two tubes. You can make pasta with it and catch four big fat rats that can be smashed to make very hearty meat sauce!

[@MrKnutriis]

BarackBananabama this could quickly develop into a cooking show with benefits

Shawn, what you do is very interesting and fun to watch. It's a shame that KZbin has to censor DIY pest control, something humans have been doing for 100's of not 1000's of years.

If that Chicken Coop Rat could talk he would be saying " Homie don't play that game ! "

[@Aquila556]

this trap is so cool

[@Stambo59]

I will be interested to see how you deal with the rats in the chicken coop. I have been dealing with the very same thing for several years and the rats are winning. I have tried multiple different traps, anything new might catch 1 or 2 then they ignore it. I have tried box traps, victor style slam traps, cage traps, tilong style traps and the same thing has happened every time. I have ended up turning to poisoned baits in a bait station all crumbled so they eat it there and are not able to take it away and leave somewhere the chickens can get at it. Even that has not been very successful.

[@tolovespunch]

Man I must say your channel it's the best, it has everything, I whish you only succes and greatness, greatingss from México

Can you read ?

[@far8]

u can upgrade this by making a 4 way trap entrance with a crossed PVC pipe and with bait in the middle..

[@C...G...]

far8 good idea

[@George-li1yv]

far8 Thats a good idea. So long as they all don't get set off at the same time.

[@moondawg3354]

Thats what Tom (the designer) did. I would like to even go as far as 6 lol, just depending on the rodent infestation

[@edhartgrove7552]

● ● Mmm... wood cookies! Termites and beavers luv 'em. LOL

Great videos btw.

[@sebastianvargas8580]

keep showing us how u make it.!.!! really enjoyed video!!!!!👍👍👍

[@GuardianTiger]

The sound made me flinch haha

[@jdryak]

I use welding wire for the noose and a bungee (can be doubled up) attached to a wooden vertical shaft (stick) as the engine.

[@jblaze0382nj]

I thought for sure I was going out back to build this up untill the end with the twine twitchy trigger. Looks like it even had you flustered when it's was edited to a finish product.

[@484848474]

Hey Shawn,deli meats are irresistible to rats. Great bait to use.

[@miyamotomusashi4122]

Great videos as always Shawn. Keep at it! -MM

[@BumBee22]

The design works and on video.

[@keveedarts3693]

Your videos are so informative. Why would anybody hit the dislike button on them??

[@pomegranatechannel]

I literally had zero interest in mice, traps or anything like that until I saw your videos. As a research scientist I'm planing on design and build a high-tech mouse trap as hobby project. I already have an idea in my mind and it's an indoor mouse trap capable of capturing multiple mice alive, or dead with electric shock (optional), through a one-way double entry hatch with motion detector and connecting to wifi to send capture notifications and camera output. For the bait I propose to have a low-heating container and use mouse-attractive aromatic liquids to spread the smell more efficiently. Sadly we don't have any mice where I live though (Canada) so I'll probably send it to you so you can test it.

[@briand6671]

Or... We can send you some mice ?

[@ChannelRansomOfficial]

to day is monday and cool vid r fun

[@edgarjimenez1962]

You’re vids are cool

[@beliasphyre3497]

Mmm... wood cookie...

[@fourthgirl]

Templeton wasn't having any of that. "Hey, Charlotte! Guess what that crazy dude down the road is trying to do?"

[@jameswalker5645]

You tube sucks.. I've learned alot from you...

[@roaringlion4898]

Cool

[@lordvlygar2963]

A quick input. How about trying the plank or rolling log trap on a Brute garbage pail? The width of the opening would be too far for a rat to reach the peanut butter. The depth would be too deep for a rat to jump out. Just would need to make a long walkway up to the rim.

[@procompsys]

"If they would have gone into the trap, it would work." 👍😄

[@adamodeh7068]

Good job bro and you can use rubber band the thick one they use it for Exercise

[@yessumyecrad]

I have the same problem with rats in my pigeon coop and they're killing my birds! I'm definitely going to try some of your traps!

[@mikejb2009a]

As far as the rats not entering the tube I think it has something to do with that noose. Just hold it down with some Saran Wrap or Scotch tape or something like that so it's not as visible.

[@smeggerknee2448]

Whilst its a lovely efficient design, technically at least it is a "snare"so it might be a legal minefield. Excellent work on the video,and the trap itself. Finished design as shown needs more thought. If a cat or dog SEVERS a paw,for example. Off to look at your other videos,keep up the good effort. Looking forward to the rest of your works.

[@cubaniton74]

Hello Shawn, how do you make enough co2 to dispatch some rats? I was told that it's one of the ways in which you dispatch of them, and I would like to try a trap based on co2 in a container with food for the rats to go into. Thank you in advance.

[@drvijil]

It never ceases to amaze me how cautious rats are. Since rats evolved living side by side with mankind and his excess food and waste, they also evolved to be suspicious of anything new or different, especially traps.

[@komodoizzy]

I think you should do a mega catch. Set up every single trap you have on the same night and see how many you catch. This would show the efficacy of each trap under the same conditions.

[@reformCopyright]

I wouldn't be too surprised if some rats learned to bite off the noose before entering. Or to set off the trap with a stick, as at least one has been seen to do with traditional snap traps.

[@pathaze4299]

I used to have pet rats when I was younger. They are pretty smart.

[@shanesmyth1048]

ok im loving your vids. keep up the good work. i have a suggestion. idk how much you can show because some over sensitive people will get all upset BUT i would like to see you try to make a rat trap trebuchet! just something that sends them flying out of the barn. lol. kind of like the squirrel catapult if you've seen that. lmao

[@tort2]

Reminds me of a Rube Goldberg contraption. Have you ever seen a bladed trap? Another good video!

[@Wholagn]

More assembly videos 🤙

[@mitchelletzkin1321]

What's the point of the wood toggle piece? do you need that tiny stick between the trigger mechanism and the noose?

[@HomelessOnline]

Seems kind of elaborate for a rat trap. I built a simpler one that uses a PVC tube as a see-saw. When the open end goes up, the door shuts and a stop keeps the door from coming back open. It was intended for squirrels but catches more rats. Also, I've got to "dispose" of the live rats myself.

[@mrRobbins999]

Maybe when the trap was in with the chickens it still had human scent over it so that’s why they never went in. Maybe left in for 2/3 days unset so they get used to it then set it

[@marikouri2377]

Superb design ✔ 🏆👉🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌷😍💙

[@IndioMaduro]

I'd love to see multiple traps set at one time, just to see how many mice/rats can be caught in one night. Maybe 20 single catch and several other multi-catch and dunk method traps

[@rodneyws1977]

With so many effective simple designs, this one seems overly complicated. Still enjoyed the video all the same. Thanks!

[@wildman6785]

a rock a stick some duck tape and a monkey 'and I'll get u a free rat 'lol.

[@casienwhey]

Shawn should have been on the cast of Gilligan's Island. He could have built a seaworthy raft in a few days from driftwood and coconuts to get them back home. Unlike that useless professor who could not do jack except ogle Ginger and idiotic Gilligan who slept with the skipper.

[@kentowakai1234]

Craving something French, like a guillotine. Messy, but satisfying.

[@paultyler5989]

I wonder if adding a small channel for the noose wire to fit into with a Dremel would be a good mod addition.

[@johnthompson5302]

Absolutely blown away that you bowed down to KZbin and they won here!! It pains me to admit i don't even get excited for mousetrap Monday's anymore. Good luck in your endeavors Shawn but I think it's time to move on.

[@freedom-first]

Try pre-baiting a new trap for about a week until the nervous rats get a false sense of security. Once they're happily feeding from inside the safe trap, then you can arm it with a high chance of a successful catch. Changing the traps too often won't allow the rats to feel comfortable and therefore less chance of catching them.

[@Nulrom]

Hi dude, I was wondering... One good thing with traps with water is that you dont have to reset it, while you have to if you have something with a spring or a lever. What if you use a stream or rain or winds or the sun (not only solar panels) to charge the trap back? Can you do something like a big cage that with a windmill carge the trap back? I love your videos, I'm so fascinated by those techniques

[@xshanghu]

Freedom is just another word to lose.

[@JosePerez-zm8ln]

So how do you get these smart rats? I have some smart rats too. Love your videos by the way!

[@wilsonseto1]

yah , i think videos on assembling em would be nice

[@LuckyThe7Tailed]

I would suggest switching out the end of the noose with some copper wire, simply so that nothing chews through it.
