These traps work well with mice, but the rats chewed through the plastic hood on the trap and got all the peanut butter and cinnamon mix. Which totally destroyed the traps. So these metal traps appear larger and may work for the rats.

The fact that the copy is made of metal actually makes it much more durable. I've seen amazon reviews for the original Flip N Slide mousetrap where people had experienced issues with mice chewing the plastic-made original/authentic traps & completely destroying them. Luckily, with the metal, mice and other rodents won't be able to chew it at all. I think the original Flip N Slide should've been made of metal to start with.

Waaaay more expensive to make it out of metal as a start-up product, but now that they know it works, they could make an upgraded version out of aluminum sheeting or something.

Thanks for another great video! I think an automotive episode would be very helpful - how to look for mouse evidence in your car (like random fluffy balls of insulation), where do they go, what is the typical damage they inflict, and most of all the best ways to get rid of them, or repel them (does the cut up bar soap method keep them away like my mechanic told me?).

been using the plastic one for mice. i dont have rats but for mice the plastic version has been working well for over a year. very quick easy catches with ease to apply sticky baits.

[@victorbarajas4705]

What I found works great was…. I sprayed rain-x for cars on the flipper to make is more slippery. Might also work great on the metal one. Although my plastic one did fade and became brittle after a hot summer outside. I hate to say it but i might have to try the metal one.

[@Bionic-Man]

Hey Shawn! I just received the Flip N Slide off of the Rinne website, Can’t wait to set it up!

[@bruce9987]

The original flip and slide caught 46 mice through the fall right next to the house but did not hold up well in the outdoors in Minnesota the plastic became very brittle , a lot of money for inferior plastic for 4 months of use September October November December. I think I'll try the metal one and see if it holds up better in Minnesota.

[@陳柏廷-u5p]

sounds like the plastic isn't resistance enough to weather and UV?

[@JohnVHLife]

I will say, the plastic one flips faster, the metal one seemed to tip slower.

[@Korbert]

But the heavier metal will make it even harder for the mice to back out to the balance point once the metal is in the tipping motion. Pros and cons for both, but in the end both had 100% success ratio.

[@madeinchina1450]

[@davidsonfamily5657]

Another great video. I wonder if, in the dead of winter, in an unheated shed or barn, the cold feel of metal under their paws, would deter the mice from exploring their way into the trap. Very fair minded of you to show a competitor's knock-off that does almost as well as your original. JD

Metal is better- I had three of your plastic traps and had two break; one had the balance flipper break at the side tabs making it unusable. Two had the ramp tabs break when I went to take the lids off. Was able to fix the ramps. Was able to catch over 15 mice in my sheds though.

The hood and base being metal is good, but the metal flap is heavier, thus has more inertia and flips slower. The best design would have a fast flipping light plastic flap, and a metal base and hood.

[@johnniewoodard648]

Shawn, you got me. This being April 1, and seeing almost all of the mice going up the ramp to your trap...I thought for certain you were off camera feeding the mice up that ramp. Sorry for underestimating your principles.

[@northyland1157]

Often a trap that works great in a low food environment, will suck in someplace like a garden with tons of food. I used one, No luck at all.. not even 1. I had both mice and rats in my garden. Snap straps and cage traps caught many.. for me.. Because there was easier food in the garden, they didn't have to go searching for food on the top of a bucket.

[@mauricioruiz9021]

I miss the old videos of primitive traps and archery

[@SoniKwolf1498]

I do think the original needs some minor improvement. Note how the metal copy has a larger overhang. If the overhang was equal to the back of the trap when the trigger board is down, then you would have a greater opportunity to catch bigger mice if not small to medium rats. I often get rats in my barn and a lot of the suggested traps that are listed "mice and rats" are too small for these larger invasive rodents.

[@rgruenhaus]

Should have stated the price comparison.

[@John_Ridley]

It's not obvious to me that metal is better than plastic in this case. Metal rusts, especially since mice will be peeing on it. Plastic when inside can last decades.

[@robertkalinic335]

U expect to be using mouse trap for decades? Do u also plan to have it included in your testament?

Mice and rats have been documented chewing through the plastic version to get to the bait. That's why metal is better in this case.

[@nekbiodieselworks]

[@DaveJHarry]

Assuming the plastic flipper is lighter than the steel, it will have a lower weight ratio compared to the mouse and therefore flip more determinately once the balance point has been reached - as demonstrated by your pet. If the enamel becomes scratched, steel *may* rust from mouse urine. Aluminium might be good as a lightweight flipper.

[@ryanjohnson3615]

It's like the old saying... "Steal a better mouse trap and the world will beat a path to your door."

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

Well, you know what they say, competition drives innovation (do they say that? 🤔 Also, who is they?) If they stole the original design and made it better, maybe steal the stolen one and make it _even_ better; there's no reason this can't be a benefit to the overall design

[@pjanoo6973]

[@eelkedeboer5538]

I would love to see more device tests with rats. Rats are larger and significantly smarter than mice. Rats are my enemies! Would a scaled up version of the Dizzy Dunker be the best rat trap? I always enjoy new MousetrapMonday editions!

[@bobmcl2406]

Interesting. One would think that it's more expensive to make that trap out of metal. Certainly it is never going to get chewed up! I admire your commitment to ecology, but I'm afraid I use snap traps on the native deer mice that get into my house from time to time. At least I put the victims out near the woods, so they likely don't got to waste.

[@portersorensen8814]

He does it so youtube doesn't demonetize him

[@benjurqunov]

Despite the raw material being more expensive than plastic. Making that trap of sheetmetal will initially be cheaper. The stamping dies and machine to make those parts is comparatively cheap compared to the injection moulding dies and machinery to make the plastic counterpart. But plastic moulding is much cheaper once the production numbers justify the initial higher machinery costs.

I have had the original flip and slide for 2 years and have never had a mouse even touch it. I always set them up in front of cameras so I see the mice but they have zero interest. I use peanut butter up the ramp and on the flipper.

[@RaycrowX]

That’s pretty disappointing. I think it illustrates that no trap is a guarantee and each situation will require some trial and error. I’d recommend deploying snap traps, glue traps, and poison to see what works best. With those you will have run the gamut of possible solutions.

[@Eranderil]

Dropped this comment on another recent ripoff video, but hopefully more coverage and all that: Add some gore aspects to your trap design. Emboss a skull across your raised cover portion or something. China actually has really strict regulations about "gore" in their market. Look up "terraria chinese version." Pay special attention to how the bosses needed to be reskinned to be less gorey. (Not that they are all that gorey to begin with but whatever.) It might not fix the issue of them ripping off the designs- but it has two big advantages: It gives your products a distinct and unique look, and it should make it so that the chinese companies are at least delayed in production and reverse engineering. The big downside is that you couldn't sell to China then.
