I have discovered a rat in our barn and I need to get rid of it before it starts eating all of our animal feed. Today I am building an easy rat trap using a Duke 110 Conibear trap. This box trap will definitely get rid of our problem rat!

For big traps and little ones, you need one thing. Tootsie Rolls. Cut a Tootsie Roll in half for each trap. Make sure you mash it on the top and bottom of the food part. I did this and it got a big rat within an hour. It also got it's offspring the next day.

Mix 1 part flour or cornmeal with 1 part fresh baking soda, set pans with generous portions of this out around the farm where it will stay dry and where rodents have been seen. Safe for pets and other animals, lethal for rats and mice since they cannot burp or fart - the baking soda is activated by their stomach acid, it bubbles up and bursts the rodents (and roaches) guts and they go off and die.

A very "modern" way of eliminating problems! We use to go sit in the feed barn at night with our 22's. Each rat we got Grandma gave us a quarter. Taught us good shooting skills, gun safety and we earned a little bit to boot! Good video Kevin...hope you get the varmint....

I use the same trap but I used a newspaper delivery tube the type that goes next to your mailbox. I cut the same groove in the side and bolted the chain to the back part of the box with a bolt and flat washers. It worked like a charm. I've used it to trap mink and martin when I was in Alaska.

Thanks Kevin for adding the link to this trap on your Amazon page. Their search window does not bring it up and KZfaq only shows the large ones. Most do not know that the correct name is "The Connie's Bear Trap!" I've you them when traveling visiting south in Virginia and North Carolina but can;t find them in the Metro NYC area. Even Tractor Supply website doesn't bring them up even if you put bear or rat trap in their search box either. But these city rats are very educated and will avoid any trap that was a near miss. Sometimes you have to go to something very old to teach these varmints a new trick. Thanks again!

I found the snap traps work best if you take a big seed like I use roasted pumpkin seeds in the shell and I use a needle and thread to sew them right tight to the trigger plate. I then put peanutbutter on the seed. Once I started doing that I've caught rats out in the chicken shed and with the small mouse traps in the house. They cant resist pulling on that pumpkin seed and snap!

You can improve that trigger system with one of those plastic political signs you see stick into the ground every where. Cut a section of the sign into a square that will fit inside the jaws of your set conibear. Bend the trigger wires 90 degrees so they’re horizontal to the floor of the trap. They’ll go on the bottom. Slip the sign onto the wires and insert the trap into your box. Make sure it will drop far enough to set off the trap. The rats cannot beat this modified trigger.

I can tell you the best way to get the regular snap traps to work. The issue with them is the bait comes off too easily. My dad taught me to use a piece of pecan. But I came up with the idea myself of using a wire from a twist tie to tie the pecan to the trap. Works like a charm! 😊

Kevin we have an accidental rat trap in my son's horse barn. I filled an empty red supplement tub with water. It is in a darker place, but not closed up. I don't know what the count is now, but a couple of weeks ago he had caught a lot of rats. He uses a rake to remove the daily catch, then after a week or so he dumps the water and refills it to within four inches of the top! It has proven to be the best and cheapest rat trap ever.

My neighbors across the road have cats. I have watched them hunt around our place in our security videos. They (as well as other cats I have seen in the cameras) do a great job keeping us rat free. My hubby used to scare them off (unfortunately we are both allergic to cats) until we realized what a great job they are doing. We haven't seen any mice or rats for a number of years. Groundhogs however are another thing. They require big conibear traps!

A word of advice: only use conibears that have a safety latch on the main spring! F&T supply sells a secondary external safety clip for these. It holds the jaws open until the very last moment after setting. This safety clip is vital for using these traps alternately on woodchuck holes, squirrel poles, etc..

The problem with traditional spring-type rat traps is that rats are clever and wary. They tend to approach the bait from over the back of the trap. When a rat springs the trap it just flips him into the air. Next time I'm going to build a box like yours to protect the back half of the trap.

Most rat species have poor eye sight and run the length of the wall. A good trick is to put a few traps against each wall surface, as to slap towards the wall. Don't set the traps, don't bait the traps. Wait 4 nights and then before bed, put some rubber gloves on and set them all. Don't bait any of them. Also put some at random posts or objects in the middle of the space, facing away from the object whether it be a support post or dinner table legs. Again. No bait. A great way to judge the size of your rat problem. Rats are weary to new objects but are very willing to smother the trap if it hasn't caused harm in the past. One or two occasions with the trap and they will walk right over it if placed properly. The ones in the middle of the room/space is a stopping point for when they are fleeing. They will zig zag from object to object and run over it in efforts to find a good stopping place where they won't be seen. If all else fails a golden rule is "a rat will always lead you back to his home."

Last year we had an issue with a darn field rat. He would eat the bait on the trap, and never get caught. When we put poison in a rat hotel the darn rat took the hotel. He also took the rat poison and ate that. He destroyed several electric tools. Made a nest, and stole tools to line his nest. A fellow vlogger friend suggested I take equal amounts of sugar, baking soda, and flour mix them together. Take a flat container of some sort and lay aout a little mound of the sugar, baking soda, and flour mixture on the container. Take just a little teaspoon of sugar and sprinkle it on top of the mixture to help entice the rat. The rat will eat this mixture, and die because when he drinks water after eating the mixture it blows up their bellies. This concoction worked. We use it anytime there's a field rat around our out buildings.

Like a another comment said "No such thing as 'A' rat problem"; You gotta ratS problem. Also, rat are pretty smart and cautious. They'll ease right on by those two little wires used as a trigger. And if you make the trigger bigger and the entrance too small they'll check it out but eventually pass on by! Believe me I know. With a bunch of poor hygiene drug addicts living on the other side of the fence close to my barn, I've gotten a lot of experience lately with RATS!

You would want to create a door with a hinge. The mesh would require unscrewing to get the dead rat out. Thats extra work. You could put some bricks around the front that would allow for a hole big enough for a rat to get through, but not a dog, or Opossum to get into. Bear in mind that a dog or cat will only show interest if the bait is something they might like such as meat or peanut butter for dogs. If you rub a cashew on the wood and throw a few into the trap you are unlikely to get dogs or cats. You can also use touch of Avocado cooking oil around the trap to draw them in.

55 gallon drum or an empty cattle protein bucket, metal rod, pvc pipe, a ramp, and peanut butter, and maybe some water in the drum... Also saw someone use peanut oil in a bowl to catch mice, they climbed in, then the oil made it so they couldn’t get back out!

I have Chickens, I get Rats from time to time. I hate rats. My dark side would have like to see the results of your Rat hunt. :)

You should contact Shawn Woods Mouse Trap Monday channel. Maybe you could organize a cross over video together?

The ultimate rat trap is a bunch of feral cats. You have to feed them because a hungry hunter is an inefficient hunter but it's worth the cost of food, and additional meat scraps aren't good for compost anyhow. It's a lot less work to feed cats twice a day than to manage rat traps. One of the funniest things I ever saw was a mother cat and her half grown son dragging a huge rat between them out of the stable and then fighting over their respective ends of it. In less than a minute they had torn it in two and each ran off with half of it. Strangely I've never seen rat bones strewn around. I don't know what the cats do with them. Martens are good too, absolutely vicious killers, but they are hard to catch if you want to remove them. My sister actually had a pet rat and a marten flew at her hand unexpectedly when she was playing with it and she ended up holding a headless pet.

On your snap trap , smear some peanut butter on the bottom side of the trigger . They can only get at the bait if they are on correct side and stuff their snout underneath the trigger . WHAM !

But we need the part about catching the rat. I would also imagine it could catch larger things like squirrels or other rodents since it is not specifically just the size for rats.

My Victor traps work, sort of, I've had licked clean traps, last night one gat whacked and was dead outside the stall style box, had one caught, this one got whacked or something. Now looking for a trap door style, it time for a " rat hood " clean up.

Good video. One thing that you may want to point out though... I don't know about the legality of using that setup, from state - to - state. I know that in Oklahoma, body grips aren't legal without a NWCO license. I also realize that the basic mousetrap that you buy anywhere, is really just a very simple body grip style trap; but I don't know how or if this applies to mice and rats, however. Anyway, it may be something for folks to consider. We watch you guys quite often, and enjoy the content.

It is definitely a good thing to consider. I didn't say "obey" because if I had a rat problem the gov't can kiss my ass. But it is a good thing to consider lol
