I appreciate the mice who went to every trap before deciding which one to be caught by

6:06 Love the mouse who just barely escapes from the Walk the Plank then he's like, "There's still peanut butter there. That probably won't happen again..." and walks right back into the trap. I notice another mouse later does the same thing with the Flip n Slide.

If I had to make a wild guess as to why the flip & slide is so darn good even above other traps that are so similar especially mechanically, I would say maybe the mouse thinks it's going into a cave. The more safe a mouse thinks a place is, the more likely they'll walk on it and get dunked. Great comparison video! Thank you!

Watching the mice running on the wheel with one spinning round and round gave me quite the chuckle. Thanks again for all the hard work you do as well as providing great information.

All those traps worked great if mice engaged with them. Shawn noted the rolling traps put mice on alert because of their motion, but they may have also made mice wary because of the round walking surface. The mice also seemed to prefer walking into cover; the Flip N Slide had a roof over the entire bait area, the rolling log had no cover. The paddle trap had a bit of cover to the sides but none above the mouse. The walk the plank traps individually had no cover, but more of the mice seemed to walk out on the lower plank, which got a bit of shade from the higher plank across from it. At this rate, Shawn's going to run out of mice to catch, and he'll have to change his channel to Flytrap Monday.

You are the world’s best mouse trap expert. Every day someone is trying to make a better mousetrap.

We've been battling the mouse dilemma in our home since we moved into it seven years ago and this is what I've learned. Mice are used in memory research because they have the capacity for quick learning and good recall. No matter what traps we've used, they all work for about a week. Then the mice learn and recall the danger of the current trap and the mice stop getting caught. If you want to catch and stop the intrusion of mice in your home, you have to be vigilante, find their entry port(s) and cut it(them) off, and rotate your trap type repeatedly until the mice are gone. Be smarter than your mice and adapt faster than them. Mice are smart and highly adaptive with memory tasks. We have to be too.

6:06 I like that he manages to make an awesome recovery and proceeds to immediately try again and just drops like a rock 😂.

I picture this guy having a room full of mice that run on wheels that power his house.

I love the little paradise you created for them. It was so fun watching them play around down there. I like the one guy who grabbed on to the outside of the play wheel and spun around and around.

I 100% feel that Shawn Woods footage of mouse trap performance has single handedly improved the designs on the market. The simplicity and self reseting nature of the rolling log trap shown years ago made the market shift more towards drop traps. And then the video of how mice escape them led to the walk the plank and now the flip n side each of which further refined the idea. Honestly, it deserves to be the best seller bucket mouse trap. Its design is impeccable.

I think the flip and slide works so well because the drop hazard is so well hidden. In comparison the log and the mill look precarious to negotiate, making the mice wary. The plank falls somewhere in the middle by this metric.

This channel is actually giving me a lot of comfort as I wait for my traps to arrive in the next day or two. Thanks for posting these and allowing us to learn and calm down after seeing a mouse 🐭

i think the flip and slide worked because the larger area for the mouse to walk on made them feel safer and along with the covered top, even though that stops them from jumping out once it starts to articulate. the other traps had a small "walking" area.

i love this video so much! having a side-by-side comparison of the traps really puts into perspective what each does but also how well they perform under the pressure of a large scale mouse infestation. love it! keep up the good work

I think the flip n slide catching almost half of the complete total of all 4 traps speaks for itself!! 😳😳

The Flip N Slide has some advantages: The roof makes mice feel safer while it stops them from jumping away. They also can't hold on to anything once they are in the "tunnel". And when it flips, the back comes up and closes the only exit.

Shawn, please continue this series, with the best trap for rats… thank you.

That mouse holding on to the wheel and spinning at 10:18 lol

I used all but the mascall mill trap, used them in my hangar all on buckets with water so I don't need to be there every day. Like this test, the slip and slide in the best I've used. It is still catching mice with the only requirement is to add bait. Love your videos.

6:09, I was surprised that the mouse hung on and avoided the walk the plank trap. Personally have the flip and slide, have used it to catch two mice around the house, and am a big fan. Like others have mentioned, I would like a version large enough or modified for rats.

What makes the Flip & Slide so great is that it's more of a trap door, in the sense that it seems like a full "floor" to the mouse and not a surface they have to balance on to avoid dropping below.

Rolling log was the one I thought would do the best. It proves a point, the one with the most secure surface did the best, then each one less sturdy followed.

I’ve used the Flip & Slide and I think it’s the best out of all those traps. Not only does it also catch rats, since it’s meant to go over a bucket, it prevents any mice or rats from jumping out and escaping. It’s a simple but ingenious trap. I’d recommend it. 👍

I appreciate your honest review and solid support for the original maker of the slide trap

That was a good idea.. a shootout between the top 4, and you analysis of the results seems spot on. Keep up the good work!

I wonder how much more you'd catch if you dug a hole to keep the tank in so the traps were at ground level. Mice don't like climbing up to exposed areas, which also makes me wonder if you added cover to the more open traps if they'd be more inviting to a mouse. I think that's the biggest factor for the Flip N Slide's success

Outstanding mousetraps! I can’t wait to see them in action again. 👍👍👍

This one was super creative. Very much appreciate the innovation!

Very well done comparison and great video and editing. I was mesmerized. Thanks, Shawn.

The thing is most of us would get rid of all the mice and rats for good. He only gets rid of the ones that are non native. Yes, I know his channel revolves around them but that takes more effort than I would if I had an infestation

Great video! The side by side comparison really highlights the strengths and weaknesses of these trap designs, and showed the clear winner was the Genuine Flip & Slide.

Thanks for all your work on this! Love the longer length of this video. Very educational and entertaining to watch. Hope KZfaq is treating you well!

This has got to be the most epic video you've ever done. Hope you get a few million views with it. It sure looks entertaining

This is the channel you hope you don't need, but appreciate when you do. We've been having a time this year with the mice for some reason. Thanks for all the tips and tricks!

Great competition and video. What a great idea of mice paradise and your comparison setup. Fantastic!

Very informative thank you! I thought it was too bad not to include the release at the end as for me it is the cutest and funniest part of your videos. I used to live catch deer mice at home in the winter, put them in a cage and release them in the spring. They had babies one time and it was the cutest thing in the world!

I was glued to this video. Best one yet Shawn.

Your videos have helped me so much with rodent problems. I actually took the time to use you affiliate links for the flip and slide. Thanks so much.

The flip & slide trap also covers the lid, which keeps the smell in for a kill trap, and stops them from jumping out for a live trap.

Shawn, thank you for conducting this side by side. It answered all my questions and your summary was as expected... Flip n slide 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

My guess on the flip and slide trap (winner) is that it has the most flat surface on it. If you or I were choosing which to walk on, it would probably look the safest to us as well. Someone else mentioned the cave aspect with the cover...that's a good idea as well.

Been of a viewer of you Shawn for many years now, always love seeing you set up traps and catching pest rodents.

Favorite video in a long time Shawn! Loved the formula, it’s like a mouse amusement park (of death). Loved being able to see the silly little beasts playing in the wheel. I could have watched a video of nothing but that honestly.

This video was so beyond satisfying. I could watch it again and again. I would watch a full video of the mice playing in the mouse paradise you built.

It seems like it isn't just dunk-traps vs. rolling traps. The success seems to dependent on the size/perceived stability of the walkable platform and the swiftness of the catching-motion. The bigger the platform and the faster the trigger, the better

I read somewhere that mice follow the urine trail left by other mice. A good product to aid in trapping mice could be an artificial urine. You would drip some of the urine near and leading towards the trap. In your demonstration it looked like some of the mice were following a scent trail. They went straight to a trap that other mice had just visited, without investigating any of the other traps.

Shawn ROCKS!!! We appreciate your awesome mouse videos.

I think the flip N slide could be made bigger and combined with the electronic sensor walk the plank style mouse trap to successfully catch rats. The tunnel stops them from jumping away once it tips, and it would tip much quicker, only after they are all the way in the tunnel and touch the sensor. You would need one HUGE bucket for a live trap, though.

Only you Shawn would think this combo up. Very entertaining for sure. Please keep the videos coming. Thanks so much!!!

The mill trap kind of looked like it got off to a great start but once it was overtaken by the flip traps there was no catching up. Excellent video. The rolling log trap is obviously better on its own.

Great job Shawn on the greatest traps!!! Thank you

Just what I needed!! Really appreciate your time.

A benefit of the mill style traps is that they do not make the loud banging noise of the flipper traps so it doesn't spook the other mice as much.

Love my flip n trap. I need to buy more. I am impressed with your fish tank trap design. Shawn you're a genius. 👍

Amazing work Shawn, ty for all you do

the flip n slide is amazing! I have caught over a 100 mice in mine. thanks for making this video!

So it is proven: The best mouse trap ever has four entrances!

Another possible advantage to the flip n slide is that it may be more jump-out-proof, since it covers the top of the bucket.

10:25 like how the caught mouse had a "bruh" moment with another one already caught

Having struggled with mice in my apartment and most mice evade my traps, I get great satisfaction seeing these mice get caught.

good job Shawn . i have said it before … never could i believe that having a barn full of mice . could turn into a Good thing 😎. thank you, i love your shows 👍🏼

Very well done Mr. Shawn

This may be the best mousetrap video you've done yet, Shawn. Great job! By the way, I suspect one reason the Flip & Slide trap did so well is because the trigger area is enclosed on the sides and the top and I think that makes mice feel more comfortable; thus, they're more willing to enter into the "point of no return." I don't know if anyone will ever improve on the Flip & Slide -- it's pretty much a perfect design.

Your old rolling log trap videos are what got me to subscribe so I was cheering for it.

After seeing this video I’ve ordered the Rinne unit from their website using your link…can’t wait to try it!

As always Shawn, gloves Shawn, gloves. Protect yourself and your family.

That will be a huge buffet at the beaver pond. Lol

I purchased the Flip N Slide lid a month ago and just snapped it on a bucket that I had in the barn. I a couple of days, it captured four mice without me baiting it or installed the ramp. Great videos. Keep them coming.

10:18 he took a ride on the wheel 🤣

This episode was like the "Project Farm" of mouse traps. :)

2 super mice avoided the flip and slide and walk the plank once each, amazingly (ninja warrior mouse on the plank), but were over confident and got caught the 2nd time around. And yeah, the electric, larger walk the plank should definitely catch rats. I wonder if you do a best rat catching video next?

That was really interesting. I really liked your experiment design. Great job.

I never knew Mouse Trap ASMR was a thing until today ❤

That’s hilarious how they’ve been caught and instead of panicking and looking for an escape they just go for a run on the wheel 🤣

This monstrosity is the final boss of mouse traps

That was super helpful. Thanks for all the video work.

I'm subscribed to your Channel and have rung the Bell for all but I haven't seen a video from you guys in 6 to 8 weeks. My sister suggested that I leave a comment in order to feed the algorithm. So here it is. Thank you so much for your content! God bless..

Great video! Any chance of doing a best RAT trap one? Thanks for the great content!

Strangely entertaining and educational

That B-Roll of how the mouse trap works over talking about the trap is a nice touch.

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd think that the little hood of the Flip'N'Slide trap makes the mice feel a little more secure, and it's inviting. It's sheltered, not out in the open, and when you're everything else's food, that's important.

The world's pre-eminent mouse trap expert. We are in the presence of greatness, folks!

Great video! TONS of action showing the distinct differences in those four traps. Would definitely go with your recommendations.

You sold me on the Flip n Slide, Shawn. Just ordered a 2 pack from the Rinne website. Thanks for the great vids.

Thank you for this! I had just ordered a Genuine Flip & Slide, then saw your video which confirmed this is a good choice. I definitely would have used your affiliate link had I seen the video before I placed my order. I'll look for another way to support your work!

Catching the mice in these tanks is the coolest work around I've seen from a KZfaqr fighting KZfaq's ambiguous rules. Cool channel and host

The Flip and Slide trap could probably be improved with a magnet for a rapid drop, just like the Walk the Plank. We saw a mouse feel the slow tipping and withdraw to safety more than once! Adding a magnet wouldn't make it significantly more expensive, and would probably catch the wary mice. It would be just as easy to clean. Every trap was "defeated", although the mice did return to the drop style traps which caught the mice on subsequent attempts. So they weren't really defeated, just didn't get the mice immediately when triggered. The Flip and Slide trap is my new favorite, although I really like them all and was impressed how Mascall's Mill really improved upon the Rolling Log. I think I might even prefer it to Walk the Plank because of how easy it is to clean. But that's what I like about Flip and Slide, it looks as easy to clean as the Rolling Log. Couldn't be simpler, just take it apart and rinse it off. I'd spray it with a garden hose. For a thorough cleaning, wash with soap. Mascall's Mill is also easy to clean. Walk the Plank, at least the design shown, is more effective than the rolling traps but is the hardest to clean. With Flip and Slide, you get both easy cleaning and high efficacy. The big platform and cover are advantages over Walk the Plank, but the slow tipping without the magnet is a downside. Add a magnet to get the fast flip, and the new Flip and Slide Down the Plank would be the best mousetrap yet. I suggest Shawn make one himself, just by adding a small magnet and another magnet or piece of metal to keep the magnets together until the mouse gets far enough into the trap to break the magnets apart, resulting in a rapid "plank drop" that will probably get all, or almost all, of the mice as soon as they trip it. One only needs a magnet or two (even a refrigerator magnet and a piece of iron!) glued or taped to the trap to test the idea.

I literally L O L every time I see these little critters walk the plank. Also, I was impressed on how quickly the mice learned to use the running wheel Once they got into the Rodent Resort.

Whether I'm watching a mouse trap video or a Rust trap video, its just so satisfying.

This is weird but seriously works for the algorithm

That one mouse that almost didn't get caught on the flip and slide. I was like get em.

Really great test. Thanks for posting.

If you caught a rat, they would eat the mice. Great video

The fish tank looks like a lot of work to maintain. Perhaps these traps could be located separately on a semi permanent basis if the mice fell into separate container that would allow it to be removed and emptied in rotation without having to move the trap itself.

I really like the flip and slide trap I use it I am on the lookout for a larger version some rats have the system figured out.

I really appreciate that you changed the location of the traps to attempt to cancel location preference bias.

Watching this is quite therapeutic, funny in fact, makes me laugh! Thanks!

There is something soothing about watching such effective mousetraps. I think all these traps would catch rats if they were scaled up. This particular flip and slide is just too small.
