Please, what kinda farm are you running. Coz it really seems like it's a mouse and rat farm. Or is it normal to have so many mice and rats when you have about a thousand traps. It's a paradox I need explained. Are you encouraging (feeding) them / breeding them? Or why do you have so many mice, and when needed rats on demand? Really amazed by old traps, wish you had a playlist with all of them. Also could you make a video on how to make humane traps from common items. Test them and tell us which are the best. There's several KZbin videos about it, I made the coke bottle one. But then just decided to go ahead and use the common trap. But I only had like one mouse.

I feel like the trap would be improved a lot by having it drop the rats into a bucket below.

[@warrmalaski8570]

The easiest way would be to remove the back chicken wire then make a funnel to the bucket. The drive to escape will drive them into the bucket.

[@tegra5971]

I would like to see that modification in action! I am thinking the rats may be too smart to enter a funnel unless they were actually thrown into it.

[@Matt-dc8lp]

And make it electrical motor driven

Looks like there is a hole on the side of this trap. What if you hooked a tube up with a one-way door to a separate holding container? Then the rats would go through the hole and try to escape. That would solve the problem of them being behind the trap door and blocking it. I'd love to see a second video with this modification. Cheers!

I like the idea of this trap because one careless rat could make one or several careful rats being swept under the rug. I agree with others who say the back should lead to a bucket so that the rats can't try to get out through the gate. Really unique construction that with a few tweaks could be really successful.
