The BEST chicken coop-friendly RAT TRAP

[@kimbrgv]

Thanks, my chics open range and at night auto coop door closes. So the ratsget in during the day. Ive been using shredded Irish spring soap( they say the smell bothers them). Im so going to try your bucket method. Thanks so much.❤

I found your video I will give it a try. I have and electronic trap but have yet to put it out. I saw rat 1 hr ago (saw prints in snow) and then it ran to its home now I know why all the soil was piled up where it didn't belong. It looked fatter than before,. I will try this before the problem gets worse. I am in an urban setting so this will not amuse the neighbours. Thanks from Toronto.

Thank you for watching, I really hope this will work for you. It seems Rats are becoming more and more of an urban problem as well.

Minus the electric traps, I've gone through the same traps and concoctions you've tried, also with little to no results. I've resorted to pellet ratting, with great success, however it's time consuming. I'll definitely give this a try, thanks.

You are welcome. Thank you for stopping by.

Thanks wonderful idea

[@simpleacrehomestead]

Thank you for watching, and for the kind feed back.

Sounds like a great idea, necessity is the mother of all inventions.

[@simpleacrehomestead]

Absolutely, it drive’s everything

[@b-chomesteading3066]

Such a great idea! I am so happy you have found a solution. I haven't had an issue with rats, but I have never seen so many mice before. Everyone here is saying the same thing. I am catching at least 8 per day. It's crazy. I am going to pressure wash my basement once it warms up again. It stinks. Ugh.

[@simpleacrehomestead]

Thank you for watching. Yes they multiply so quickly it’s frustrating keeping on top of it.

Maybe try to search and watch KZbin "worlds best mouse trap kills 400 rats" by engineer or inventor and honest business man Alexander Law who had done extensive research tested all 99% of traps failed then invented one of the true best! Hope it helps!

[@bethstaggs2369]

Genius idea.. thank you for sharing

[@simpleacrehomestead]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting.

Fast forward to 6.5 minutes and you will get to the point. Very cleaver idea but get to the point hahahaha

[@simpleacrehomestead]

Thank you for taking the time to watch our video.

Great idea! 👍

[@simpleacrehomestead]

Thank you! We appreciate you watching.

Similar to our Suicide bucket without water. With water, perilite, seeds sprinkled over the floating perilite and a gang plank. Boom, lots of rats. Caught 52 in two days First you have to make sure your chicken feed is secured at night so there is no competition with your bucket.

[@simpleacrehomestead]

We are going to give one of those a try after the weather warms up. With the temperatures here we don't have the option to use the water bucket method.

[@littlehouseonthehillhomestead]

I would venture to say the scent has a lot to do with catching so many. We can set traps all day long in our feed room area and never catch a thing.

[@simpleacrehomestead]

I suspect it has something to do with it, as gross as the maggot idea would be to some people I thought it could be key info for the success of the trap, ☺️. Thank you so much for subscribing and commenting. We will be sure to check out your channel as well.

I have a question do you place the rat trap with gloves or not. And what else do you put in the buket something to eat ??? Please answer me quick , please

[@simpleacrehomestead]

See my answer on your other question.

[@evapektas]

I did not understand you can still smell what ? Sorry i am german i did not get it ?

[@simpleacrehomestead]

No problem. I hope my other answer made sense for you.

[@simpleacrehomestead]

I'm trying to answer again. My responses are not showing up after I post them. No I don't wear gloves. I use peanut butter on the trap. The pail was used for when we butchered chickens.

[@evapektas]

@@simpleacrehomestead Ah ok thank you I understand, thank you for your quick answer...🙏
