Good evening from Belgium, making a rat trap following your tutorial, 2 rats were caught less than 2 hours after placing it near my henhouse. I just have to rework the trigger but already efficient. I also have replaced the elastics with an ajustable spring to prevent other rats from gnawing. I have a picture of it but I can't share it here Thanks for your video

Awesome trap demo Malc. Love the trigger... very sensitive. Bet that would work well catching squirrels and rabbits to. Thanks, Andy

Fantastic trap Malc, fairly straight forward. Great vid as always 🐻👍

Awesome. Will make this straight after exams!

Effective trigger system Malc Thanks for sharing 👌👍🇬🇧

Muito bom! Excelente gatilho.

We've been trying to catch a rat for over 8mos. I've tried all sorts of friendly traps. He's either escaped or ignored them. I found your video, we made the trap and caught him within a few hours after putting in place. Thank you so much for your video!!!

Awesome trap! Ive now made two of them. I caught and relocated 8 squirrels two years ago eating my mangoes and recently caught a juvenile possum(originally thought a rat) in my garage that came in thru an old laundry vent

good rabbit box also .... you did a good job with the trigger sir

Great video malc either your getting faster or my eyes are playing tricks lol

come to Arizona , Ive caught 100 rats and mice in the last two months here in the desert , now the traps are left alone , using old style victor traps and i guess they are new , Koro Rodent trap ..... Koro needs to do some tweeking with the design but damn its a thumb breaker with powerful springs , the kill bar sometimes just hits them in the head and kills them without really trapping it .... check it out if you get the chance , maybe you could improve it with your skills

bro, as soon as i saw you screw all those screws in by hand i subscribed. good show!

Well, I got here late, but after 3 years you're still helping people so I stopped in to tell you thank you.

I like the design. Simple effective... going to try my own.

Interesting. Thanks for showing.

well done mate, seen people use these for rabbits but iv never been able to bait rabbits before its hard

I am from Britain have just finished a large compost heap and now have some rats. Two bought traps nothing, I have just made one of your traps out of pallets. 35mins cought one and an hour or so then two together. Many thanks

I happen to have a couple of different traps set up at the moment, but so far no captures yet. I like your method so I will go ahead and copy yours. Thanks.

Interesting and entertaining to watch good work

This is great. I made it and caught a pesky squirrel that had been eating up my mangoes. The Squirrel was later released in a park where people love feeding them. **No animals harmed in this operation*** Update: on 8-11-20, I caught two more in the trap. I used bread with peanut butter on it and squeeze the bread around the trigger. He too got released about 4 miles from my home in a nature park

Great skills 👍

Brilliant,been trying all morning.I,'ll give it a go.

Muito boa está armadilha.

got my first live trap this morning witht the ready made traps took it out to the field and let the terrier dispatch it. is that a good idea been told because of what they carry might harm my terrier? am i bettef just to shoot it or dunk it etc? ps doing the trap mod you did pushing the trip back to the back and removing the rear door did you use a tent for the top bar?

Im going to make one of those, i got a nuisance rat digging holes in my Allotment! Cheers! Excellent video👍

Hi i just want to say i made the trap and caught 11 freaking rat... Thanks man

Top design!!

Buena trampa, te felicito 👍

great idea, I might have to try one of these

You could put small magnets on the trap and corresponding screw heads on the door, when it shuts it’ll be solid, this will be extra to stop it pushing it’s way out.

Good one man, I’ll try that.

Great video and trap. Gonna make a few for chicken pens cheers. The Mesh is a great idea for shooting the rats

looks better than some pro commercial versions i've bought

Very nice information thank you

Decent mate ,nice trigger.

Show essa foi bem bolada ótima mesmo

Design looks sound to me, although, a big Norway rat might overcome the rubber band closure system.

Very good design

Nice one 👍

just seen your rat trap film am going to make one tomorrow. looked at various traps on ebay for rats and people disappointed with them so will try your method to catch a few rats bugging me cheers phil

I made it, thank you for the ideas

Nicely done👍

Mantaaap, 👍👍👍

Nice one Malc

احسنت عملا يا رجل 🌺

Great idea! Could be stepped up in size for other critters. Just drop it in a bucket of water the kill what you catch. My boss thinks I should work that fast.

Muito bom

Try spring instead of rubber band it works great!!!

Hoàng xin chào bạn.Ý tưởng và kiến thức của bạn thật tuyệt.Cãm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ cho mọi người .Chúc bạn luôn vui khỏe & thành công.

Would the trigger be pushed more than pulled by rat or mouse? Could have it trigger from side. Trigger is easy to move.

Nice job, ... 👍👍👍

Nicely done

Does it work on 'squerls'?

Make another door at the back it saves you having to put you arm in to bait it it can get messy in there.👍

Like the design but am concerned rubber bands are not secure from escape. If I were to build, I would use a latch that swings into place as door closes, a trip catch if you will.

Gostei ele tá acabando com os canteiros da minha Horta oque eles comem oque usar como iscas nesta armadilha por favor

Amazing 💡💡💡idea. Thanks for sharing this video.. Will love to try something like this... Please do keep posting new🆕 ideas.. Warm regards and Best wishes The UnknownManCub 👍😎👨‍🏭

Put a flag on top or paint the end of the bar , you can see its activated from a long way .

Отличная идея!! 👍🏻👍🏻Буду делать, а то уже восьмого птенца стащила крыса и мышеловки не могут удерживать крысу

Good Stuff!!! - 👍

Works well on your finger when carrying the primed box to the location 😀

Needs some sort of latch to keep it closed. The rats around here have already proven they can force their way out of a Haveahart trap, those rubber bands wouldn't pose a problem for them. Although that's a simple enough modification.

Nice one ☝️👌🇬🇧

Hi you are very clever you can put sping on the sides once the door shuts the mouse can't come out

I will give that a go thanks

i like the idea , simple easy and works well , but pitty you dont show anything of the inside , when the trigger goes off .....with a platform the mouse steps on ?

Good idea

This trap is similar to the one we have in India.Very very effective . We caught rats in India regularly!!But there are 2 springs instead of 2 rubber bands. Hope this model is good too.

Use magnet on the bottom of the trap door to keep it lock after it shut .

Great trigger, but need a locking mechanism on door when closed

Have a go at making the Tilong bamboo rat trap John. I made one about six years back.

What keeps a fox or dog from opening it and getting your rabbit?

External trigger linkage makes the trap vulnerable to external trigger trips resulting in a no catch.

Perfekt جالب ،👍🙏

You should send this trap to Sean woods for rat trap Monday's

Nice video

Show 👍👏👏

Very good

Waaoo mantap,,good👍👍

In India the rat will bite the rubber band before entering the trap!

I've seen several designs like that but a rat can trigger the trap by crawling on top of it thus rendering it useless until reset.

Nice trap rat.

Why don't you use the electric screwdriver?

Nice trap: what are the dimensions of the trap?

The door needs a latch of some type to lock it in place. My guess is in a panic the rat would push against the door feel it move and soon push it open.

What kind of bait? Thank you

Did you manage to make a video you got one

Mantab bang

Não entendo seu idioma mais entendo a mecânica eu colocaria um eixo no gatilho furaria as laterais e colocaria um eixo.

If you prefer catch and release just omit the rubber bands. Same result

Good

That is a rabbit trap and there is no need to use rubber bands the door can be made to slide down by gravity. I and my cousins up in Arkansas made this type of trap for rabbits when we were kids we learned to make them from our fathers that makes them a 100 years old and our fathers learned them from our grand fathers that makes them some were around 200 years old.

shooting just make a mess , dunk whole trap in bucket of water , that will fix em

Da hora

get some screw driver bits for the drill.

I think the rubbe bands are too weak, he rat will push the door and escape, I made myself all metal with a wicked spring, overkill, but that required a welder.

This contraption is for only one rat, no plural rats! Every one rat is caught, then you have to re-set the trap mechanism, is'nt it? Am I mistaken ? I wonder!

I don't have the patience to hand screw that many screws into wood.
