The big rat obviously hated its life and wanted to end its misery
It’s called suicide
😂😂😂
🤣🤣
River west RIGHT
thanks for the laugh, i needed that! have a good one man LMFAO!
How did the rat die?? Couldnt it just stand upright to breathe?
probably but it cant support its whole weight with its hind legs for that long. Then it had to swim. Then it died.
I have a 10,000 year old mouse trap design with claws, teeth and 9 lives.
Rocketninja200 nice one bro ;P
A cute cat!
cats are worthless and they won't kill mice in the garage or outside in freezing temps.
alan933 Not in freezing temps but some definitely will in a garage or outside in good weather.
I don’t have a cat, but our dog will kill rodents and large insects.
The big rat was a noob and just jumped down instead of using the wheel
The big rat should be banned from the match
Lol
Plain Pineapple lol yea!
Plain Pineapple it’s like he wanted to die
Its partner made cool music and the rat who fell in the water wanted to be famous
(Lol TheFatRat)
To the big mouse: congratulations, you played yourself.
It is a Rat XD
That a rat
It was a rat 😤
That's a rat..
Big mouse 😂😂
your barn is probably like the movie Saw for mice
This reminds me Saw movie too.
hahahaah
Do you want to play a game??
It's pretty ironic you'd have a pet mice...
wtfwc ikr
Lol was thinking the same thing
wtfwc he was doing the vids way before he got em, he got them for the vids
Joe Mama when did he get a mouse, I haven't been watching his videos lately. I'm letting them build up to watch later.
wtfwc its pretty ironic that you care
It's true what they say curiosity killed the rat
Cat*
Kade Hubbard *Rat

It's cat
I thought it was curiosity killed the scat
If only your pet mice knew what you were doing to its kind

2:40 suicide?
Yes
he realized that he was going to die

heloo darkness my old friend
Its 3am on a school night and im still watching mouse trap videos.. Someone tell me why
Prizumz omfg SAME
Prizumz same here lol
SAMEEEE UGHHH
Rodents killed lots of humans. The thirst for revenge is great.
Same
I love rebuilding ancient tech and seeing how it all worked. And mouse traps are for some reason interesting as hell to me. Love your channel keep up the good work.
Giant obstacle courses made for hilarious outtakes of human participants are one example of massively scaled mouse 'contraptions'.
"Lets see if he eventually drops down into the hay"
"Hey ! Looks like it worked "
nice lol
Hey, hay!
Very punny
*Why am I watching this at night? lol*
it's our subconsiousnesses trying to tell us something
Same
Same loll
Me too XD 00.01 AM
Hungry probably...
I have no idea how I got here, watching videos about mouse traps and actually finding it interesting.
Right??
Most prevalent reality show I've ever stumbled upon...
Even though i have two of the most ambitious mice killers ever borne to the feline species!😏
🐁🐱🐭🐯🐀
Same
Tell me about it... And all I wanted to know was if he SAMSUNG S9 was comparable to the SAMSUNG NOTE 9....Go Figure....
I know how, I wanted to see old mouse trap designs like guillotines and other stuff
sometimes I think rats actually wanna find out how the trap works instead of the bait
True. But it’s never worth it
Curiosity killed the rat.
Yeeeeees!
Surprised the rat didn't just jump out of that bucket lol he just fell in and was like "this is my life now." xD
" *this* , this is *fine*
It didn't look that deep, but maybe it was, Idk lol
You mean, "this is my death now".
109367 : maybe it was too fat. Lived in a barn so it was pretty huge. No lower body strength.
Never skip leg day!
That other rat was like: "Nah...I'm not even "falling" for that" (No pun intended)
if no pun was intended then why did you put the 'falling' in quotation marks?
That big rat looked like a cat!
hey, maybe this would work to get rid of some cats that are tearing up my garbage bags.
@@williamchapman2371 all you need is an empty box for that
2:42 so we all agree that it committed suicide ?
Yep
That big rat is SUICIDING
yes sir He was an Hero.
They took his iPod he was an hero
Cebuyas City IT WAS SUICIDED BY KILLARY CLINTON!!
Cebuyas City HEY MAN ARE THERE A LOT OF RATS IN CEBUYAS CITY?? IN PHILLIPENS?? JUST CURIOS
I think he just try to drink
Hey shawn, what if you put peanut butter inside the bucket? Will the mice willingly jump inside?
mer meh i chuckled when i see this comment lol
mer meh Inquisitive minds want to know. For science!
that's an idea and a half right there
WEE NEED TO SEE THIS..!!
Suicide mouse trap.
I'm not sure if waking up to a bucket full of mice would be the best thing in the world
Shawn My grandmother told me a peanut oil basin worked the same way, the mice sniff the oil and try to drink form it, the further down they reach they would fall into the liquid and drown. Perhaps you could try this on one of your videos?
He did look it up!
Curtis George he has I’ve seen it .
I knew the mice were hired actors!
Yam lmao😂😂😂😂
No
Yam Stop copying other comments dude...
Yea and did
Issei *pet mice*
Hi Shawn,
Here's an updated design from that I was introduced to in the 1980's. I was in a mouse infested house. My roommates older brother fixed us up with a 5 gallon bucket with a coat hanger pushed through the axis of a beer can set across the bucket mouth. Peanut butter was smeared on the can. Mice would make it to the beer can and fall into the water. The water needed to be deep enough so they couldn't touch the bottom. It worked great.
Thanks for sharing the historical design and video.
Mick
I'm sorry but I was very pleased to see you finally capture that big, pesky RAT who seems to always eat the bait on your bucket traps! 😄😃
Now that dirty creature can be a midnight snack for a hungry owl. :)
EyeScream ! Me too. Thought he got away to. Yes I was happy he got the rat!
RM K No, he is already dead. Because in the video "Dunk the rat" He actually caught 4 Big rats and 4 mice,So he is already dead and even more
It’s kind of messed up that you have a pet mouse lol
Nick G I said the same thing!! Lol
Ditto
In a good way.
Zm_ranger how in a good way lol?
Its a house mouse, he traps deer mice.
Pet mouse is so cute.
Yes xD why did there have to be water , he can do it without water that they dont die but no WATTTTER
This is the kind of content my brain enjoys at 2am
I used peanut butter bottle with a metal rod which runs through the middle which spins freely and laced with peanut butter. I set the trap at night and the next morning I got 5 mice. The lure of peanut butter seems to not to deter the other mice even though they saw their friends swimming frantically in the bucket.
Just use cat. Way older style of mouse trap.
I have 2 cats and they are lazy af... they will probably just stare at em lol
Cats don't go after rats.
You dont have to feed these traps unlike cats haha
RUSapache cats get lazy though. My barn cat coexist with raccoons, possum, rat , and even mice .
Taxtro my cat does. He kills pigeons too :(
1 rat down 999 to go.
??? ??? Dayum you triggered homeboy
You can place a stopper on both sides of the spindle,that way it'll be more secure.
I don't really have those vermins around in my house, but I see 'em sometimes in winter. But this is now my new, favorite channel.
I found this to be the best. it basically has no limit on how many mice you can catch a night (if the bucket is big) but you need to modify it a little so the rat can clime on it from either end of the stick. You can use a long stick that connects to the bucket on both ends. So it's more efficient. :D also, the device is too small, otherwise you could have easily caught that giant rat :DDDDD
My uncle uses that same principle with his mousetrap at his farm, except that the axle moves free in cut slots on either side of the bucket.
2:39 The trap had NOTHING to do with that one at all. 😂
Do you think a length of small pipe or plastic straw over the dowel would spin as they go off balance and help dunk em' plus it would aid as a spacer to keep the wheel from riding back?
I used a stick across the bucket with a string tied in the middle with the lid of a jar on the end about 6" below the stick with bait on the lid. In one night I had enough to where the rest could stand on them and climb out. another thing we did was mixing bromo seltzer and flour and leaving it next to a bowl of water.
I have found the bucket and ramp to be the best trap of all time. Toss in some sunflower seeds in the shell and mice can’t resist and jump in and drown.
works for nuisance chipmunks as well
Yup, all they need is a way to see inside the bucket. They see what looks like a bucket of grain and jump in by themselves no questions asked. It's all we ever use on the farm for rodent traps, surprisingly effective.
Yes!
I killed a bunch of rats in my barn with just buckets of water, you don't even need that wooden thing.
What kind of dogs are those?
Kris Zarate Pet rats according to rat owners are just like miniature dogs mice can be like almost tamed parrots, that don't like being held too much
the broken kind
Dead.
Kris Zarate They are washing machines
Hot dogs.
I like how Shawn is going over ways to improve the trap and is hoping to see someone else do it, but a few years later he goes all "Fine, I'll do it myself"
Tape an empty wine bottle neck to the end of a broom stick. Other end of broom stick rest on top of washing machine or table weighted down with brick or sandbag. Wine bottle end extending out like a pirate plank/diving board out over the floor. Under wine bottle end put large rubbish bin on floor filled with 15 inches of water. On the lower half of bottle body extending from neck out from end of broom stick you drip lots of cooking oil and at far end (being bottom of bottle) put some peanut paste or cheese. Mouse/rat walks out along the wooden broom stick from sandbag end to wine bottle then walks out onto slippery glass bottle to go for food and slides off falling in bin of water under the bottle. Rodents swim till too tired and drown cause can't put feet on floor of bin to push up. Old Australian farmer told me this. Easy. No fuss. Anyone can make it. Very successful. Works like a beauty. Broom stick, glass wine bottle (no label), duct tape, cooking oil and cheese/peanut. Bottle doesn't spin, rodent just slides off oily glass bottle. The bottle neck is taped to end of broom stick extending straight out from broom stick, basically extending length. So the mouse simply walks the plank to the slippery end and slides off. You could have the wine bottle end a little lower than the other sandbag end so mouse slips down along inclined bottle easily. Nothing spins, mouse just slips off bottle end into bucket of water.
That rat was not the sharpest knife in the drawer by far...
WarriorofCathar You mean the sharpest tool in the shed?
Gabriel Rodríguez Gutiérrez
Its an acceptable variation of the shed analogy. In fact I'd argue that the tool shed analogy is a variation of the knife in drawer analogy. Because the latter makes more sense than the former. All knives are expected to be sharp to serve a purpose, whereas not all tools need to be sharp to be useful, e.g. A hammer.
WarriorofCathar My comment was a reference to a song called "All Star" by "Smash Mouth" hahaha sorry if you thought I was trying to correct you, my bad!
Natural selection 😂😂😂
Solid assessment numb nuts.
You make videos of killing mice and you have a pet mice....savage level:💯
K.O.
can u make another scavenger video? really curious about what happen to those dead mice
Rub Vaseline around the inside edge of the bucket, maybe even a little of the wooden dowel. Makes it impossible for them to grip anything. Its what we used to keep the squirrels out of the bird feeder. Little bastards could shimmy up the 1/4 in metal pole holding the feeder. But they sure couldnt after rubbing some Vaseline on it haha.
You had me at rub Vaseline around the inside edge
I've used a similar modified version.
Run a dowel through the cap and bottom of an empty plastic water bottle. Place in notches cut in the top of a 5 gallon bucket and fill halfway with water.
Smear a little peanut butter around the middle and you'll catch a bunch of mice. Or ground squirrels which is the problem in my area.
No ground squirrels = no rattle snakes.
i think how to improve this trap is putting oil on the wheel
and a bit on the spindle
ACID instead of water
if you put oil you'll trap the usa
@@ShadowlordDio *cocacola
*"Hay* this looks like it's going to work."
That water was dirty after those rats took a bath😂
Use a spring as the spindle and fill the bucket with 3 inch of treacle, we used a similar grav trap to this when we were kids, but used a 2" sink pipe with a 1ft mid section that pivoted down under the rats weight and into a dustbin and the pipe sprang back up with a small spring, set so a marble would set it off
I wonder if you could incorporate a magnet into the spinner so that it would hold for a bit before letting go suddenly.
You should build and sell these traps on ebay and Amazon. It could be a new business venture for you. I know id buy a few of these ancient traps from you
1:48 - hay test plot-twist - pet falls into the hay and pokes both of its eyes out
We live in the city in a 100 year old house.. We see mice and mouse poop once in awhile, more poop than mice.
I'm not sure if they're so dirty or disease ridden, but they chew through wires, and walls and crap everywhere, especially inside your heating ducts. (we have to clean them at least once a year). They make holes everywhere, inside cupboards etc..
Squirrels can be pretty damaging as well.
We've sealed every tiny hole we could find. We have all of our food, (flour, cereal, rice, pasta, coffee, etc.) in big gallon jars, and wipe off counters and the stove top with javex right away, we keep the garbage up, (because we have 2 dogs), but still have them because our winters are so long and cold. They will feed on traces of food or dishes not cleaned thoroughly.
They do a lot of damage in your house if you do not get rid of or control them, and It's extremely hard to get rid of them humanely.
I've met people who have had fires caused by them chewing wires.
Also, my neighbour has 4 cats, they catch some, but she still sees mouse poop once in awhile....
My Grandfather told me of a (100+ years old, but still in use at the time) Hotel that burned down & the forensic evidence showed a Rat had chewed into the Wiring in the Kitchen (the Rat Body caught fire once it chewed through)
That's good to know. I'll unplug the extension cord in the garage. I put out 12 traps and he prefers chewing anything rubber or plastic or fabric. Lots of damage. Can't wait to catch him or her.
@@jbean530Tell me abt it!! I had Squirrels chew a bunch of big holes in my Shed Wall & go live inside..they RUINED EVERYTHING even chewed holes in my Lawn Mower's Tank & all my Vintage Camping Gear..my antique Books.. When it comes to Rats the old fashioned Wooden Victor Traps work well. Take Hot Sauce & "paint it" on the things you really don't want chewed..they HATE Garlic/Onions & Hot Sauce.. they taste it once & leave it alone. I read if you feed them Bay Leaves it kills them but the ones I dealt with completely avoided them, & later tested out my Victor Trap (& lost) (yay)
This channel came out of nowhere on my recommended when looking up unity coding videos and now I am like 20 videos in and behind on my project lol. 10/10 would recommend.
millions of views with making mousetraps, you sir are a genius, and i am not ridiculing, your original craftmanship just pays off
How deep was the water for the rat to have drowned?
quasarsky 10 inches
But rats don’t drown that easily since they can swing for hours and they can hold their breath for a while
Do mice just touch water and die? ..didn't seem that deep
Santa Claus they drown (ps i want a new iPhone x for Christmas)
They probably got so tired (and hungry) paddling around to escape then they fell asleep from exhaustion, drowned while dreaming.
Gel Mir sad ;-( but I mean it made its death wish going inside
It doesn't need to be real deep... They're mice. They aren't very tall.
Also, the water in a bucket would be rather cold. I think they'd succumb to hypothermia and drown rather quickly this time of year.
Love these historical traps!!!!
Jennifer WhiteWolf me to. Got me wanting to make them lol
That rat was pretty big. I had a barn on my property a couple years ago and used a metal hanger, 5 gallon bucket, and a prescription bottle that spun on the hanger. Same principle, without the paddles. I caught a lot of mice. They love peanut butter. A little anti-freeze keeps the water from freezing (not safe if you have pets).
This is better than the invention of the wheel. On the farm, the rats are a big problem. I spent $100 on bar bait 2 weeks ago. That thinned them down but they chewed through the wire used to hang the bait.
For your trap, make the rod and fins out of aluminum or stainless. It will never wear out and rodents can't hang on to it. Suspend the bait by a wire one inch above the fins.
You might experiment with the number of fins, size, and shapes.
Use a 6 to 8-inch deep stainless pot, halt full of water. Dig a hole for the pot and put the top at ground level. Use a hard dog food that will float and sprinkle in the water. Rats and mice go for the food. The stainless steel is slick. They fall in but they don't get out.
I am going to use both inventions and try to build a better mousetrap. I get something that will catch 100 per night, I will send you a pick. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hay it looks like this will work
*"And rat!"* points at the rat🤣
Rat & mice soup ready for Shawn😹😂🍵
I think it would work better with a static friction threshold. Like, the spinner is normally "stuck" until enough force is on it, at which time it will suddenly rotate.
Water in bucket works, antifreeze will work even better. It's oily for one thing, mice can't get any traction to jump out. Great design.
Your pet mouse must have been so afraid to be next to you lmao

Did you kill youe pet mice?
Shawn Woods said
Oxbowmuffin 19 no way
Shawn Woods if you added a lil more to it it would be better
Hi
People curious about why he has pet mice, while killing mice
Think about that...
Human has human family and human friends, but human make weapons to kill human
Or, humans eat some animals while keeping others as pets.
It’s like having a pet chicken, and eating chicken. See sounds normal now doesn’t it?
@@sIurz 😁
It’s like humans + humans - humans followed by multiplying 3 humans equals human. Get it now?
I would probably try to add some round magnets to each flapper edge and then mount a round wooden disc onto the dowel rod with attracting magnets on it but attatch it so that it doesn't spin, then space the round disc away from the flapper to where it breaks away with the movement of a mouse on a flap. The more you pull the disc away the more sensitive it's going to be and the closer you move the disc the less sensitive!
Great job! 2:42 that rat(or mouse) didn't even need a trap to get him in the bucket XD
Jerry nothing learns - he got into so many mousetraps and never learned to avoid them
whutttttttt that size difference
Do you put soap or something to kill them quicker in the water?
add some oil on the top maybe?
@2:21 "You're gonna need a bigger boat."
i made a similar trap years ago except i used a coat hangar wire and a film canister that i tapped to bucket, it worked great.
How'd they die? Body temperature drops too low? Drowning while trying to sleep?
Mice can't swim.
@@PlatoonGoon they can but they get tired
@@owenphares215 Tbh I'm pretty sure the dish soap makes the water impossible to swim in, like for fleas. I'm sure they could hop out if they fell in some water naturally.
This Mascall guy must of been sleeping in a house full of rats and mice to design so many traps
Electric Boy I think he lived in a farm, there's no shortage of mice and rats in that kind of environment.
This Mascall guy must have been sleeping, NOT must of been sleeping.
So he keeps a stunt mouse to test his traps. Rather cool.
Seems like it would be easy to put a magnet in there for pseudo-stability, or a spring to provide some friction.
Try making the center tube on the paddle wheel so that it entends perhaps an ince or more toward the bucket. That way the mouse cannot grab the stationary round peice of the dowel.
Why don't make mouse trap and sell them
how the hell did that rat die in knee high water lol
Because a rat is smaller than a knee, duh.
Lol
I guess 3,000 people do not like seeing mice dying... because the video is not about a MOUSE TRAP or anything...
honestly, i just like these videos to see all of the different traps, and how they're designed.
I would think that the rod has to be a part of the windmill assembly and rotate along with it. The mouse is going to go across the top of the rod with its center of balance over it... no problem. When it hits the windmill it will then be the mass on the end of a lever and rotate the entire structure and fall. I would put the bait on the very ends of the blades so the mouse has to reach out for it. Would love to see this again in a couple different variations.
Uhmm its kinda😅😅
Funny you kill mice and rats but you actually have a pet mouse😅😅
KNIGHT CORE but these r wild ones in his house
Mia Lemieux yeah but thats kinda ironic though
KNIGHT CORE i guess
KNIGHT CORE He's an inventor DUH 😩
@hXcFreethinker "Funny people have pet dogs but dont want wild wolves running around their neighborhood."
Catch and release. Humanity over cruelty. They have a right to exist. Just not in your home.
Uploads mouse traps videos , has a mouse as pet.. 🤔
Why do you have water in it, that is so mean
So they die? It would be to much effort and take too much time to smash them with a hammer the morning after.
I prefer the hammer.
You can glue a bead to secure the spinning part so that it doesn't move along the stick
I have used a version of this with success. My trap had an aluminum can spinning on the shaft instead of the paddle wheel.
That's just so so sad
As you live in your infestation free home, driving automobiles that harm the environment (occasionally hitting an animal within your life time) to the market where you buy your meat products made from animals in "sad" conditions.
Alexa plays despacito
The video said MOUSE TRAP. Here's a clue for you--stay way from videos with things in their title like "trap" "How to kill..." "How to get rid of..." etc. You'll have a happier life...
@@CowsGoM3ow>> You should look at their screen name. This person probably subsides off of curry sun-flower seeds.
Not cool. You put hay in the bottom to catch your pet mouse, but murdering wild ones is totally fine. Great.
Sissy.
Do you expect him to kill his pet mouse? Your not a sissy, you're just sadistic
🤣
Of course you fool. The wild ones are a threat to his or other people´s safety and comfort, whereas the pet mouse only provides entertainment. It´s exactly like letting your friends into your house with a handshake, and burglars with a swing from your baseball bat.
Really?
Used to do this in the barn on the ranch i used to work on with a bucket, old can, a stick and peanut butter. Works better if the bucket is empty with peanut oil on the vertical part of the bucket. Then if you have a dog or cat it's great cause you can keep them alive and either train your pet to catch them or just move the mice to another location instead of just drowning them...
a beer can with a coat hanger going length wise thru the can , peanut butter on the cana board leaned up against a bucket with 4-5 inches of water,mouse follows scent and leaps out onto the spinning can and splash, add antifreeze in winter
The best mouse trap is a cat if there are no allergy issues. When my little buddy was here, not only did I not have any mice in the house, but there was not one burrow from a chipmunk either. He devoured them all.
