Thank you for watching my videos. I really appreciate your support.

Hey, a self-censoring mouse/rat trap! Perfect for KZfaq’s delicate sensitivities!

Don't forget to hide a third camera to watch for anyone stealing your trail cameras.

DUDE! YOU inspire the hell out of me! youtube hasn't offered me your stuff for a long time. Glad to see you're still rocking it! thank you for still doing these!

And if that doesn't work, the falling box strikes a match, and lights the whole thing on *FIRE!*

11:14 Don't forget the hidden trail cams to record who is stealing the "out in the open" trail cams .

Enjoyed the video Shawn! Thanks for the kind words regarding the Exodus Lift II - it’s neat seeing the camera be used in this type of application!

Mr. Woods. Please just keep being you. I like every video you post since I found and subscribed to your channel and I will continue to like every video in the future. You make my Monday!

The World: “sometimes this trap doesn’t work.” Shawn: “put it inside another trap.” The World: “Whaaaaa?”

I feel like hes just going to ineviabley create a generation of super intelligent trap resistent mice in that barn

FYI from a 28 yr handyman - for a shallow circular hole - do not use a hole saw - use a Forstner bit - it drills a flat bottomed hole as deep as you need! Just thought I'd mention it!

I don't know why, but there's something hilarious to me about the idea of a deer being skunked.

That's a bro skunk, always like: "come at me dude!"

Me and my daughter love to see when the animals eat the mice and rats. It’s our favorite part. Keep up the good work!!!

It's a trap within a trap!

That skunk was charging at the deer and the camera! Must have seen the red glare of the infrared.

4:40 All these traps Shawn has and he still has a zillion rats running around.

Thieves are vermin, hopefully you'll catch them too!

That's actually great idea against rats learning fast to avoid traps. It's like antibiotics - use multiple to make sure there are no survivors.

8:55 Skunk is like, "you lookin at me? Attack!"

This dude set the trap with one hand, expert level

for off the shelf i always just superglue a peanut at the back of the trigger plate, works every single time.

Small pieces of chocolate covered English toffee work so well in my mouse traps I've christened my traps, "Death by Chocolate".

Ah, the old Schrodinger's Mouse problem. When the lid is closed you can't know if the mouse in there is dead or alive.

you had a LOT of rats going through the box, it would almost be worth while to use a larger trigger pad to set off the box........hell, why not make a box like 5' x 5'? lol...you could have caught a dozen!

You didn't even have to censor the video, the closing box did it itself xD

That skunk flexed on the deer and the camera! 😂

What happened to “give it a little flip “😂

Thank you, Shawn, for another great trap video. You are one of the best sources of inspiration for our war on rodents here at our farm in Portugal. Since I lost my favorite dog to rodent-borne leptospirosis some years ago, this has been a major concern.

I really thought you might have cought multiple rats with the amount of them one might just be in the box while another set the trap off.

It's crazy how I went from grossed out by the bot fly to really hungry because of the Hawaiian food in seconds.

That is one onery skunk ... even taking on deer !!!

The patent was issued in 1981. It then inspired the movie "A Room with a View" (1987) starring a mouse and a rat.

Shawn - I can’t believe your barn is so infested with mice & rats! I enjoy your videos, but look forward to the day that you say, “sorry, we can’t test out this trap. All of the vermin that were in my barn are all gone now!”.

Make a box, the size of a mattress, put sunflower seeds under it, put a wifi camera with remote monitoring on it, run a string from the trip stick all the way in to your house and let the kids pull the string, Live!!!

Haha you're funny Shawn! You brought mousetraps with you on your vacation. I'm glad there were no mice at that resort so you could just have a nice relaxing vacation with your family. Thanks for trying to keep us entertained though.

I'm a simple guy, I see a mousetrap video, I click...life improves...

The deer was like, i don’t want none of that I’m out of here

Reminds me a little of the trap I used in the 60's. Balance a heavy glass mixing bowl on a round glass Xmas ornament with a peanut placed snugly where the metal collar sat. The mouse nibbles on the peanut, the ornament rolls away, the bowl drops! Slip some cardboard under the bowl and take the mouse for a hike.

Great idea! One thing I like about it is it appears to be pet and chicken safe.

Hey Shawn I'm a big fan from Canada! I remember when you used to show the full graphic videos. However, I totally understand your reasoning. KZfaq is very sensitive and I would hate to see your channel gets deleted. Ignore the very few people who complain 😅

Hi Shawn, I have a suggestion in regards to the floor of the box. Glue a piece of linoleum on the floor...easy cleanup. Love your vids.

8:37 skunk: Are you trying to take my mouse?!?! Deer: dude no, I'm an herbi...... Skunk: I'LL CUT YOU!!!

I bet if you smeared a little peanut butter on the string, a rat would paw it, tripping the box trap.

Shawn: Do you have an Amazon affiliate link for the trail cam?

Haha that Skunk was a bad@$$! "Ur not takin myyyy dinner!" 😂👍🏻

The box is a simple yet ingenious idea. Thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to your trail camera review.

Nutella bait? Ok don't forget No Nut November 💜

Thanks Shawn for feeding the animals

My cat loves your videos. Tonight, he was sleeping on me, but when he realized it was Mousetrap Monday, he got up to watch the TV. The rats and mice weren't even up yet, but he knew it was his favorite KZfaqr! (Obviously, I think the videos are pretty good, too.)

Thank you! I have tried rat traps with razor blades. Rolling pin across buckets, trap doors over buckets, electrocution, peppermint, everything but poison in my chicken coop. Rolling pin seemed to work the best. Alpha rats are very smart. They are hard to trick. Will try the box method.👊

this trap is self-cencored 😂 great for youtuber like you 😂

Foxes are great scavengers, they've removed many a groundhog for me after I kill them.

My brother keeps insisting that rats are more easily attracted to salami than peanutbutter. I have only caught mouses with peanutbutter around my house but i havent seen any signs of rats either so i havent felt tempted to try his theory. He has a big live catch trap that he brought to his worksite since they did see traces of rats. They baited the trap with salami in a storage room and left it with the door closed thinking the rat was hiding in there. The next day they had a big rat in the trap but they also found a chewed hole in the door since the rat wasnt in there to start with. Would be fun to see a comparison with same traps in same location at the same time with different bait to see what attracts them most. Thank you for your epic videos! Best regards from Sweden

Hi, Shawn! I'm not sure if you'll ever see this, but I'd like to comment something for you. I started watching your Mousetrap Monday videos either one or two years ago, I'm not sure because I had just started at a new school for my last two years and they kind of blended together. Anyway, I started watching your videos when our teacher in the computer class (it was a tech school) had finished his lesson. My friends started to huddle around my computer at one point and sometimes we'd watch Mousetrap Mondays in unison before having a LAN party on some old video game. Me and my friends would talk about how mousetrap videos are weirdly interesting and addicting to watch. They'd always be the highlight of our Mondays for sure. I'm glad to have watched this channel grow, and I feel like a dad even though I'm 19 and it's not even my youtube channel lmao. Thank you, Shawn. For everything you've made and will make.

What gave you the idea to start these kind of videos and I love your videos

You sounded like you were sing introducing the results of the mouse trap. Did you by chance have a cold then?

Shawn, I'm a 73 year old retired person who loves to tinker, hunt, trap, etc. Most of your audience may be much younger than me but I like your content just fine. I wish YT wasn't so mamby pamby about video showing kill shots on rodents. I like to see the whole thing! Your rodent with the bot fly concerned me. Since we both live in Oregon perhaps you could let me know what geographical area you live in? I live just east of Gresham in the predominately NW corner of Oregon. I am a Oregon native but never knew that bot flys were a thing here! Keep up the excellent vids. You got a new sub and bell from me!

After i saw a rat 3 weeks ago, ive been researching day and night buying $100 on traps and other related items. Ive watched about 20 videos, and googled non stop. I seriously have a rat phobia. I havent been sleeping. Its 5 am here. I freak out if i see an ant or get gnats in my house, so im so greatfull for your videos. A miracle happened! I found your channel. Thanks. How much do your cameras cost? I want to put one outside and affix it to my vinyl fence.

Good Lord. You don’t need a rat trap. You need about 15 rat terriers.

You sound congested, you feeling alright? Its getting colder so you need to stay healthy and rest!

That box idea is great. I have scavengers stealing dead mice from my traps and making a mess. This will take care of that and maybe catch additional mice who beat the kill bar.

I wonder if you could build this without the actual trap. Make a it smaller and have pressure/motion sensors or something like that so as soon as they enter you trap them and can do what you need with them. Put a bunch of them around the barn and (theoretically) catch a bunch in one night.

Meanie Stink Butt chased off Bambi but I hope he will spray the thief if he dares to come for your new cameras.

I had a rat in my flat, unfortunatly my own traps failed, it drwoned in my toilet. I miss it.

You need a whole string of these loosely side-by-side with all those rats !!! Or get Joseph the Mink Man and all his mink and dogs to take down all those crittters !!!! Land's sake, any neighborhood cat would be toally sick of chewing on all those rats and mice !!!!

Idk why I’m hooked on mouse trap videos but I just am

Mousetrap Tuesday for Europeans. 🤐

I recreated this trap cause of you and it works your amazing and now have a less of rats

Here's an idea: Put the new trail cam under a pre-fab outdoor shed, which has been propped up on one side with a shortened broom handle, and a string tied from the handle to the cam. The thief wants the camera, goes in and pulls on it (thieves aren't too smart), which drops the shed, trapping him inside. The next morning, one punch should be enough to subdue him (thieves are wussies), then 'give him a little flip' onto the beaver dam, and see what comes along!

Love the new barn wood background!!! I think it’s a perfect addition for your channel!!!

Very informative as usual. Look forward to the trail cam review. Always good to get away and spend time with the family. Keep being yourself. 😊💜

Nice, you were able to get away to Hawaii. You need several trail cameras. One to record what you want and one that uses the cellular network to send you real time pictures to your phone or computer. That way you can capture the action and the culprit. Hog trappers use them all the time to trigger the drop gate on their traps.

I'm seriously impressed by the setting if a rat trap with one hand. I need both hands and a lot of space and time and concentration to set one.

Cool, it kills them and puts them in a coffin all at once. With a larger box I see the potential for catching a bunch of mice at once. I would try turning the box up side down too, so they kind of boxed in more before the trap goes off.

One minor downside to this specific implementation is that if you catch live rodents, it'll be difficult to control their exit. This same principle could be used with a wire mesh box that one could simply submerge under water.

Sometimes when mouse is very alert, swinging of trigger arm right by its face will make it jump back and avoid the kill bar by split second. It happened during the daylight in our house before. Mouse was very fast and dodged the kill bar, but went into shock right by the trap and just sat there stunned and we easily caught it with bare hands.

IDEA: There were many rats around that box when it dropped. Perhaps the box could be large enough to catch them all, perhaps with a two-stage tripping mechanism. Maybe when it drops, a batch of carbon dioxide fills the box, killing them all humanely and without poisoning predators. Perhaps baking soda and vinegar to produce the carbon dioxide.

I picked up a homemade live catch trap from a thrift store and used that Idea to make my own but its to catch a cat or a coon. The basic design is heavy screen and a gravity drop door. Use a snap trap on the outside top of the screen box run a string off the trigger with bait on the end of string when the trap snaps it yanks a Dowell pin and tje door falls. Simple effective.

A grocery produce bag wire tie on solid bait helps to prevent mice from gently licking bait off trap. I'm going to try a funnel design to guide mice to bait directly on bait trigger versus feeding from spring bar side.

Transparent lid, so ya know what you are getting into!!! Shawn, You were smarter than me on that one but at 4:51 there are like 5 rats inside the box. What about making the box maybe twice the size, putting a bunch of sunflower seeds back near the hinge, and let the spring mousetrap be the "presence indicator" and trip the box support. so maybe ya catch a whole bunch at once!!! JUST FUN!!! (maybe not useful) 55 years ago I caught a field mouse under my grandfather's sink, with a bean pot, a "Toothpick figure four baited pot support" and surprised my grandfather the next morning. WOW, Proven success. Sure was fun!

Who on earth takes rat traps and a trail camera on holiday? I know the answer now ! Wow - outstanding dedication to your hobby, and great skill to observe the non-native species while away, you really know your stuff. Thank you Shawn. :-)

One thing I also learned is, if you have deer invading your garden you just keep a few skunks around to scare them off. Could be a new thing, " Guard Skunks " lol

Okay... This might sound kind of gruesome but I have made some modifications to my standard rat traps that I use around my property. The rats and rock squirrels are enormous and sometimes get hit and only injured, not caught. I have resorted to putting nails (sharp tacks) all the way through (4-6 of them) the wooden trap at an angle just inside the kill bar. Seems to work VERY effectively as I have yet to find a sprung trap without a pest in it.

Easily one of my favorite KZfaq channels.

Using Bait Cage kit for rat traps makes your snap traps work much better available on Amazon

Another quality video. I really like the part when you feed it to the other animals in the back yard. That part is always interesting.

I look forward to see your rat nail trap. It instantly reminded me, of an episode in Rick and Morty, where Rick has turned himself into a cucumber and has to MacGyver his survival, in a rat infested sewer.

I also use Nutella as bait, it works very well, but I do like the idea of the secondary enclosure, such a simple idea, but looks very effective, it could also catch a second victim hanging back from the bait.

9:40 Because mice and rats have a great sense of smell I recommend adding a dog pee mat or card-board under the trap to catch blood and urine that may warn other mice/rats of danger.

@2:10, feel free to substitute the hole saw with a forstner bit of the same size. It does all the work for you. No need for digging out.

Instead of the disk magnet, one could probably use a couple of magnetic cabinet latches, readily available in hardware stores. Secure the steel plates on the bottom platform and the magnets on the box wall.

Nutella, huh? This gotta be the weirdest sponsor. hahahahah Joking, but I am hungry now.

Glad you had a great time on vacation, after what your family went through, you all deserve it.

1. I guess we need a test to see if the box is necessary; the snap trap worked both times. 2. The box does at least make it easier to censor your videos for KZfaq. 3. Is your son not allergic to Nutella? I hope it works well as bait, in that case.

have you tried to find any manufacturer that still uses mole fur for those moles that you’ve caught? Cause I’ve heard that there is or was a man in Alaska that bought dead porcupines for all sorts of uses such as quills for jewelry.

Plz answer this question Shawn, how do you domesticate/tame wild rats and mice?

Shawn, there were a LOT of rats in that clip! You really need to use more traps... ;

08:55 - If this is an issue, you could retrofit your IR lights with 950nm IR LEDs which aren't as visible to most animals _(and humans)._ Most night vision lights use cheaper 850nm IR LEDs which are slightly visible. Although, if it works, it works. Some great night footage I've seen on your channel. :) EDIT: Just got to the bit where you explained about the theft of trail cams. I'm sorry to hear that. But yeah, trail cam IR LEDs are slightly visible and will alert people. The (above) comment I made would apply to this situation too.
