Hi Shawn - I made a single box for my Victor Rat Trap and baited it with peanut butter. I set the trap on sensitive. The rat was still able to trip the trap over a couple of nights without getting caught. I watched your video with the bait cover so I decided to make a bait cover out of a piece of fine wire mesh. I wired it to the plastic bait paddle and added a bit more peanut butter and set the trap to Firm so the trap wouldn't trip as easily and scare the rat. It worked! I also bought a couple of Victor Rat Traps (original) with the narrow metal bait paddle and made another wire mesh bait cover and wired it to the paddle. It worked, too! Thanks ever so much for your videos. I've learned to think like a rat - lol

@joey I did the same thing for mouse traps. The mice were too small to set off the trigger at the sensitive setting. I'd check the traps and the food was gone. I setup a webcam and recorded what they were doing--they would run over the trigger without setting it off. Instead of putting peanut butter on the trigger, I arranged some cardboard boxes together to form a narrow walkway and placed the mousetrap at the "dead-end". Using peanut butter I glued a small peanut to the floor between the trigger and the boxes. To reach the peanut, the mouse had to stand on the trigger. When the mouse tried to pull the peanut off the floor, it applied extra pressure to the trigger and it would be caught. I was very successful with this method.

A piece of cloth or inner tube under the trap might damp enough to avoid a sympathetic snap setting off another. I also use masking tape to cover the surface of snap traps .Makes for easy cleaning and reusing traps. Before I started doing that I found mice reluctant to enter a trap another mouse died in.

@TheMrGreenie 3 жыл бұрын

I had one comment/suggestion for setting traps if you are new to using these Victor snap traps (and not placing them in a box). At 1:30 in the video when you are setting the trap, set it from the other side (flip it 180 as shown at 1:30). That way if the kill bar trips as you are setting the bar in the trigger, your fingers won’t get hit.

@yaneznayu9997 2 жыл бұрын

I use the Victor snap traps (with the big yellow trigger plate, not the skinny little metal plate). Pretty effective even without the enclosure, though I see the value in it. I, too, use peanut butter, often with a sunflower seed or dog food kibble pressed into it.

@djohnson3093 3 жыл бұрын

Nice! I have a similar system. Mine has a front with an 1 1/2" hole in front of each trap bay. That stops the leg catches from being able to drag the trap off and die in a hidden spot. It also helps keep the faster rats from jumping out of the way. Nice work!

I came up with the same rig before I saw your video. The rats are so huge here (by a food processing plant) that even the Victor doesn't always kill them immediately. But the nails hold them until they die. I also tether the trap with a clamp to a rafter, incase a coon of possum gets involved. I paint the whole rig with used cooking oil. If the rat bleeds, it is easier to remove the blood scent. The oil odor draws rats, and the oil smell covers any human smell that makes rats wary. Thanks for another nice video.

Hi, Shawn. Thanks for this video! This really helped us. We built a device like this and allowed the rats to get used to taking the bait with the traps unset. We got about 14.

Or would you think that specific setup was shot for the surviving rats?

Unlike the unit you show, I enclosed the front as well, and drilled 1 1/4" round holes in it so the mice could enter, but the dogs won't be able to steal the bait, or get a trap snapped on them.

At our previous house, I got 5 rats with those battery-powered rat zappers. The rats we have now are smarter, couldn't get a single one. Talked to a professional rat guy on the phone and he gave me some good free advice. The old-fashioned Victor snap traps and Slim-Jim as bait. I cut the Slim-Jim into small pieces and microwave them for 15 seconds, just enough to get the grease flowing. Set the traps and got a good size mama rat. A couple of days later, we started picking baby rats off the garage floor. Without mama to feed them, they started venturing out on their own. I just set more traps today and put them in different locations. I gotta build one of those multi-trap boxes. 👍

I made two of these contraptions. Caught some rats. The biggest seemed to gravitate towards the single trex traps. Good-sized rats for sure. Maybe 8 traps side by side was just a little too much on the senses. The client loved seeing me pull this behemoth into their yard but honestly it isn't worth the effort just yet. I might try replacing all the crappy victor traps with trexs and see how that fairs.
