Once more to clarify: the co2 doesn't power the striker that kills the rat. A spring does that. The co2 is used to reset the trap. (it says so right on their webpage).

Good to hear this video is because they upgraded the trap and not just because the original was deleted. Edit: people clowning Shawn because of his flip phone...hasn't he shown his phone on this channel before? He's an outdoorsy type. I'm not terribly shocked.

[@Dr.Schlitz]

Not sure what being an "outdoorsy type" has to do with the type of phone one prefers. Smartphones have many uses in the outdoors, especially navigation.

I don't think the rodents are killed via their heads basically exploding and more so from just a stunned blow to the head but everything is still intact once they keel over.

[@robertmcauslan6191]

I’ve got this trap and it’s gotten a single chipmunk in it in 6 months. Rats want no part of it, won’t even take the bait samples. I’ve got that ratinator and that thing catches tons. Funny what works in different places.

[@paulcopeland9035]

I have the original and it kills a lot!! The barn trap has turned into a feeding bin for mouse loving predators. That is kind of a bad thing, but we are getting used to the visitors!!

[@rbyt2010]

I've had mine for a month with a trail cam set up. The rats love this thing! They are all over it! EVERY night. They just don't want to stick their head in that little hole to trigger the trap :/ No kills. Looks like a waste of a lot of money.

[@cryptickcryptick2241]

I bought and tried the A24 trap. I did not have great success with it. After putting it out, and putting a camera on it and putting it in several locations where there were known mice and rats, I did not know of a single successful hit. For several months, it was on the floor of a horse barn with a small cage to protect other animals from entering and monitored it with a trail camera and with the hit counter, yet did not know of a single successful kill. (Your experience may differ.) In the location I used it, there were cats, and I think the rats were avoiding the floor (I caught several climbing on the walls of the barn.) (Yes, screwed the trap to the wall for rats climbing on the narrow 2x4 the wood was nailed too.) I also placed this under a house in a crawl space for several months, where there should have been nothing to drag away the bodies, yet, with known mice and chipmunks in the area, nothing was caught. I had seen a prior video where this trap was shown to hit larger vermin, yet did not have luck with those either. After about all those failures and not a single known kill, I gave up on the trap.

[@paulcopeland9035]

I would be glad to give you a mailing address if it is in your way!! My mice and rats are not as smart as yours! The local mice eaters would love to have another "lunch tray" in the barn.

Mr. Skunk sure likes your trail cam. Sounded like it wanted to eat it too.

[@yahkar]

I love over engineered devices. Just makes me wonder what kind of person came up with the idea and why. 😅👍🏽

[@FirelighttheKing]

So that the rat and stoat traps don’t also catch flightless or otherwise curious birds, and also doesn’t need resetting super often :P there’s a pretty large debate over long term pest solutions for our national forests here in NZ, and the current solution for large sections of forest is 1080, a poison. I think it’s actually banned in the US? Something something dangerous to people and causing painful deaths. A lot of people don’t like that 1080 is used in forests for pest control (fair, I also dislike it), and so the issue then becomes ‘how do you set up long term autonomous traps for hard to reach places that don’t also catch the native birds’. This is perhaps the most effective trap to come from that line of thinking.

[@iReima]

It needs a conveyor belt to clear the killzone

[@prcervi]

when dealing with far too clever rats there a long way to the line of over engineered, bluetooth function does have some genuine benefit in telling you haw many charges are left in case something came by and had a dead rodent snack

[@yahkar]

@@FirelighttheKing effective, but too expensive to use in that large scale format. Those canisters alone would eat up the budget.

[@yahkar]

@@prcervi if rats were clever then traps and poison wouldn't be the #1 way of killing them. Think about it.

[@tpl608]

I wanted one years ago. Now that it is USA based, yeah. That holder thing is to mount on a wall or on a floor

[@WorldofRockhounds]

That's awesome you still use a flip phone. Even more awesome that they sent you a trap to test out again.

[@HorseLuvr101]

I’ve had two of these traps for years and much prefer the battery operated Teal Elite Rat Zapper ($50 on Amazon). I’ve killed three times as many rats (and tree squirrels) with this trap, and it is easier to use and a third of the cost.

[@atticstattic]

He has to use a burner phone 'cause the rat mafia ...

[@tpl608]

I read about this NZ kill device years ago. They had rats swimming to an island by the 10,000. The only bad thing was for each dead rat, their buddies ate it. That meant it took longer to kill every rat. They did it.

[@bySterling]

Now THIS level of modern app trap is what I’m all about!!

[@justinpopelka1148]

Ahh, I thought I'd seen you do this one. Fancy upgrades, yay.

[@akbychoice]

Does it notify you when you are away or just within range?

[@lechegaray]

[@cryptickcryptick2241]

Only within range, direct bluetooth connection to your phone. 100 foot range.

[@wildcoyote34]

this is the all time most effective mouse and rat trap i have ever owned .i bought an original A24 several years ago and i have probably killed 200 rodents with it including several squirrels ,,it doesn't miss

Needs a way to attach this over a bucket so that the dead mice don't block the way in for others.

[@majbach1968]

I noticed when you inserted the pirate mouse, it activated twice in short order. If the mouse gets stuck with the trigger in the tripped position, will it continue to activate until the CO2 it depleted?

[@AutomaticTrap]

Hi there! We notice the same thing while watching. This looks to be because of the angle the trap is being held at to show the viewer how it works. Normally the trap would set off and as soon as the trigger released, gravity would cause the rodent to drop before allowing the trigger to set off again. Here the dummy tester looks to be hovering around the trigger after having been set off since the video is trying to show the viewer how the trap actually works. Another possible reason is that the test dummy is significantly smaller than rodents and in testing it looks like it pushed the tester back behind the trigger into a position an actual rodent would not be able to get itself in which caused the second trigger. Hope that helps :)

[@MrConsto]

Thank you for responding Excellent product and I hope it helps sort out the pest issue in NZ without affecting the native wildlife.

[@rakeau]

Ehh, if it's Bluetooth, wouldn't it only work if you're within relatively close range anyway - as in, close enough that you could just inspect the trap? I imagine you don't get any alerts if you're, say, away from home or anything. I remember the original video about these and while I'm sure it's a fantastic trap I don't see how the "smart" adds much value.
