Simple ● Tubular Teeter Totter Mouse Trap ( that works ! )

A Simple self re-setting multi mouse trap you can make yourself and is non lethal. It re-sets and will catch multiple mice. Nothing to wind up or reset or load. Doesn't need to be re-baited. The mice can't get to the bait. Can be either catch and release or lethal. Just add 2" (50mm) of water. Simple operation using a 2L pop, cola or soda bottle. Similar to a walk the plank mouse trap or rolling log, but is even simpler. Is like a teeter totter and uses a plastic bottle.

You should add some kind of waterproof marking on the mice before you release them. That way you can tell if you have a returning guest.

I am going to try this Rather than using 3 buckets, I am going to try putting a cover on, cutting out a hole leaving about a 2 inch border around the edge

[@ldybgd]

did you give the mice to your neighbor? :)

[@myboysnmeadventures137]

This is the best and easiest design that I have seen yet. I am going to make a few of these, except I am going to put a trip sensor on the inside so that when they fall past the sensor a meat grinder will turn on that way I can just add them to my compost bin. Compost everything.

[@sdartschoo1665]

Very tallant

[@ProlificInvention]

*Chris Notap* Great videos, I watch and like them all. Has anyone that you know of built a mousetrap that utilizes a cylinder under vacuum to kill a mouse through explosive decompression? For example: a wide mouth gas cylinder is attached to a vacuum pump that creates a negative pressure of say 14 atmospheres, a gate valve is attached at the cylinder mouth to a solenoid or mechanical trigger located in a tube connected to the cylinder/gate valve. When the mouse enters the connected tube and attempts to eat the glued down bait he trips the gate valve instantly pulling him at high speed into the cylinder causing instant death through explosive decompression. The gate valve or solenoid closes automatically, pump kicks on and creates vacuum and the process continues. This trap would be excellent because the mouse carcass(s) would be in a vacuum almost constantly, mitigating the smell and allow for constant use without having to reset or clean the trap almost indefinitely. If no one has built it, I will. Thanks again for a great channel

[@tykjpelk]

There's no such thing as vacuum below 0 atmospheres, so you can't achieve 14 atmospheres of negative pressure. Unless these are subsea mice you won't be able to kill them in a humane way with vacuum.

[@wpowerwagon]

I like the catch and kill, you don’t leave your enemy alive, or they’ll be back!!!

[@chrisnotap]

The world is leaning away from killing everything in our path. Hop on board.

[@fjqtaxch9]

Another good one Chris! Better than the "walk the plank" trap.

[@pershop4950]

How is it better? It's very similar to the 'walk the plank' trap.

[@fjqtaxch9]

Per Shop The rat can sit on the pail off to one side and get the pbutter off the plank while it couldn't do that with this design.

[@strahinjafilipovic9804]

Hello! I wish everyone in the comments fantastic and healthy day/night!!!👍👍👍❤❤❤😇😇😇

[@mauricejones1310]

Cool beans

[@jimdomoradzki483]

Why bother with catch and release when the same mice come back to the same place?

[@mu99ins]

Jim Domoradzki Guilt is what they're dealing with. It's unpleasant feeling, guilt. They don't seem to understand that there is no shortage mice. "Mice are fertile animals because female mice come into heat every four to five days. Their reproductive rate depends upon how often males and females actually mate. An average female mouse has 30 to 35 babies per year." So, for just one female mouse 1 times 35 = 35 baby mice in one year. Nobody wants 35 mice infesting their barn, silo or house. If half of these baby mice is female, then 17.5 times 35 = 612 baby mice in 2 years, from just one grandma mouse. The numbers for a great grandma mouse, 3 years after release, 306 times 35 = 10,710 mice.

[@ckobo84]

He enjoys catching them. You can't have your mouse and kill it too.

[@meandmyself3007]

His pets mice

[@carlquinn2214]

Why release them?????

[@frankieturzilla5825]

Walk the plank lol but my mouse could jump out if you put a empty plastic bag inside. It creates a little bit of air so they don't get a stable positon to jump out of bucket.

[@cinnamongmc5430]

What to use if I don't have a 45° angle thingy.

[@chrisnotap]

Take a regular rectangular piece of paper and fold it at the corner. You now have a 45 degree angle.

[@therealdeal3854]

The last mouse was feeling at home.

[@waldenhouse]

Great idea? 👍

[@andyfleege8504]

I got a request for you... How do i rewild some racoons without injury that have become too used to civilization? I know you can. Please advise...with a contraption. Thanks.

[@chrisnotap]

How old are they? Raised from what age?

[@johnroekoek9864]

I saw a video where this man placed a cold wajang (Chinese I think) frying pan on the floor, with half an inch cold sunflower- or olive oil in it. In the middle there was food. The mice ate some and couldn't get out of the pan because it was too slippery. I am considering putting some oil under the peanut butter. The mouse is in my house and I can't wait to bring it back to the forrest.

[@Lida22]

All I can say is Chris - you must have more mice than anyone in civilization ought to have! Either that or you truly get glee from making mousetraps. ☺ Now how about a humane catch-and-release rhinoceros trap?

[@chrisnotap]

My brain is always going to make simple mousetraps from regular items. Thanks.

[@maribelpoitan6964]

Hello

[@olenamcquagge7777]

Safe two Home Depot buckets and put a layer of vegetable oil on the bottom bucket, grease their little feet and no traction, no jumping....Just my $0.02 worth.

[@mumofmany7589]

Thank you for letting them go unharmed 💚

[@eltigre249]

You wouldn't need a third bucket. Just place three screws the same distance from the bottom on the second bucket adjusting their distance from the bottom so it is unjumpable.

[@chrisnotap]

Yes but then you have holes in the bucket for another use but yes that would work. Thanks for that tip!

[@iamTheSnark]

Some peanut oil in the bucket will prevent them from jumping out. Arachnid oil.

[@aidenfontenot6287]

Totally tubular

[@markm8188]

Very nice design. I'm sure you know, however, that unless you relocate them a loooong way from where they were caught, they will come back.

[@chrisnotap]

Correct. It is up to each person to decide what they want to do.

[@fredygaleano2905197]

Simple?

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

I would have just glued and screwed the 2nd bucket into the first on. No need to waste 3 buckets.

[@jimdomoradzki483]

Putting the bucket with the cut out bottom, mouth to mouth with the first bucket makes it twice as tall. Catch and release is a perpetual game.

[@my.luminaire]

Mice are nice :) I always release em. In my neighbour b.yard :)

[@frankbau5837]

I don't . I'm a mice killer

[@stevecarlson6462]

One thing is certain. You will never run out of mice to play with! In fact, you will likely get many more. I sure like the trap though. Has the world beaten a path to your door yet? Or just the mice? Haaha! I'm so funny!

[@youtubehand]

Just add an inch depth water in the bucket, higher if you plan to kill them, the mice have no chance jumping out.

[@wxfield]

We just put a 5 gallon bucket in the barn and they jump in and can't get out. Skipping the trap door contraption entirely.

[@paulbetka1803]

Bucket's are cheaper at a local Donut shop.👍 Home Depot 👎 Still a nice contraption 😳👍

[@joehagerman2272]

Why would you let them go so close to your house. You will end up catching them again.

[@chrisnotap]

I have another really cool one I’ll be uploading soon. It uses a snap trap to capture it without harming it.

[@jeffstanley4593]

Chris, good idea but what is your end game? Do you want them dead or not? If dead, then put mouse traps in the bottom of the bucket, baited of course. If you are not trying to kill them then what are you doing? Great video but as I said, what is your end game?

[@veggiemonkie5041]

Jeff Stanley he mentioned putting water at the bottom. Mice can drown

[@chrisnotap]

People can chose whatever they want, it's capture and release or put 2" of water in the bottom and it becomes lethal.

[@DoNotPushHere]

Chris Notap there is this guy Shawn Woods who makes and tests all sorts of mouse traps. He got some people angry by putting those two inches of water but then he showed what happens when you just don't put water. The mice get nervous, and, if hungry, they kill each other... Gonna find the link and put it here if I can

[@DoNotPushHere]

Got it... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX-6e3yhn7Sopsk I wish there was a way to keep them separated to prevent such things

[@jeffstanley4593]

Are you implying that drowning is a pleasant death? You too can drown, does that sound pleasant to you? I have no problems with killing vermin as long as it is done humanely. I have no problems with hunters that eat their kill or fishermen that eat their catch. I do not approve of trapping wherein an animal is left with their limbs in a clamp until the kindly trapper comes by to dispatch them. A mousetrap that crushes the skull or breaks the neck gives me no problem but this does.

[@isthe9484]

Dude, why did you have to plant the idea of putting water in the bucket for drowning the mice? For the sake of the mice, please remove that audio.

[@IllusionQueen4Eva]

I got a little worried seeing the height of the bucket, 'cause I dropped a hamster once and it screamed. Almost gave me a heart attack. But I guess these mice are fine.

[@chrisnotap]

Mice can fall down a 100 foot hole and land fine. No worries.

[@Buddy-po4hv]

Half inch of oil in that bucket and they will not be able to jump anywhere

[@kevinshinduke9487]

You forgot the water

[@blahsomethingclever]

Cool idea! Now I just wish my backyard had any mice to catch;). But the crazy cat Lady down the street keeps like two dozen cats she's 'rescued'. Not sure if any mice survive with so many cats. Those darn poop machines btw: just imagine every twenty pounds of cat food turns into 30 pounds of 💩! But the heck with it, I'll build this tap. It would be so ironic if my neighborhood was swarming with mice too

[@hanmengtay2204]

👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙋🙋🙋

[@tommywiseguy]

Home Depot buckets aren’t cheap.

[@chrisnotap]

Yes, they are cheap. $3.97 in Canada.

[@tommywiseguy]

Last time I bought one, they were $5.00US. Using 3 buckets makes the total cost of this mouse trap seem a bit high to me, especially when the rest of the trap was really cheap. Not to mention that after cutting the bottoms out of 2 of them seems to make them pretty useless as buckets. But that’s just me.

[@tommywiseguy]

Update. HD buckets are $3.25US so cost is better.
