Please, what kinda farm are you running. Coz it really seems like it's a mouse and rat farm. Or is it normal to have so many mice and rats when you have about a thousand traps. It's a paradox I need explained. Are you encouraging (feeding) them / breeding them? Or why do you have so many mice, and when needed rats on demand? Really amazed by old traps, wish you had a playlist with all of them. Also could you make a video on how to make humane traps from common items. Test them and tell us which are the best. There's several KZfaq videos about it, I made the coke bottle one. But then just decided to go ahead and use the common trap. But I only had like one mouse.

Looks like there is a hole on the side of this trap. What if you hooked a tube up with a one-way door to a separate holding container? Then the rats would go through the hole and try to escape. That would solve the problem of them being behind the trap door and blocking it. I'd love to see a second video with this modification. Cheers!

That trap would probably work better with a larger holding chamber and changing the one door so it fit precisely enough on the bottom to not allow those little rat claws to get underneath and lift it up. (Maybe that was the idea, but cheaply built so tolerances just go out the window?) Everyone is saying to fry the gator cuts, but I'm wondering if gator gumbo would be a good alternate option?
