      But seriously, how do you have so many rats and mice in your barn? Do you live in a particularly infested area? I catch mice in my garage but after about 3, I don't have any more till next season etc... If I smoked to catch any more I'd have to get them from Amazon : )

    At one point I had a problem with rats and mice. I modified my rat traps in a different way than you show but it was very similar and I also increased my kill rate to what i estimated to be 90% at the time. The box is a great idea for a number of reason, I like it!

  • @stephengaskell673
    @stephengaskell673 Рік тому +38

    I always knock in 3 small nails from under the trap at the end of the kill bar so they stick upwards, when the trap goes off there is less of a chance of the rat escaping because it gets stuck on the nails as well. Gruesome idea but it does work.

    I made this after watching your older video on this, but I had trouble because they would all go off when one was triggered. I had to bend the metal trigger piece so it wasn't as sensitive. Plus, I added metal spikes made from hardware staples, all over the base. So far, no rats have escaped. I hate rats :( If only they had cute little tails like squirrels...

    • @Willowflat16
      @Willowflat16 Рік тому

      It's known as "sympathetic firing" when traps set off their neighbours. Try putting pieces of an old towel or 2 layers of denim the size of the traps underneath them. They act like shock-absorbers. How likely they are to go off does depend on how sensitive the setting is, of course.
      Made2catch's metal traps have teeth on their base, so they'll save you time modifying things. IMO, they're a better trap. Shawn is a fan of them.
