I like how his mousetrap is more advanced than his phone.
You know this guy’s life is just too awesome when he says “I still use a flip phone.”
ikr
shawn still keeps his old phone because it's the only thing youtube will let him give a little flip to 🤣

Once more to clarify: the co2 doesn't power the striker that kills the rat. A spring does that. The co2 is used to reset the trap. (it says so right on their webpage).
Option on nz coin
I don’t think you should advertise this trap. It simply does not work on smart or cautious rats.
That looks like it's worth every penny. Thanks for this channel Shawn.
This trap has TERRIBLE reviews on Amazon
Biggest take away from this video I that Sean uses a flip phone.
The end was epic, the greeting from the skunk 😂
A collection of over 1000 mousetraps and still has a flip phone - 😂 I’m totally not surprised. Thanks for another great video.
His mouse trap is smarter than his phone.
😅😅😅😅
Having seen mice, rats and squirrels caught in these traps on your channel before, I knew this would be a great version of the trap.
Good to hear this video is because they upgraded the trap and not just because the original was deleted.
Edit: people clowning Shawn because of his flip phone...hasn't he shown his phone on this channel before? He's an outdoorsy type. I'm not terribly shocked.
Not sure what being an "outdoorsy type" has to do with the type of phone one prefers. Smartphones have many uses in the outdoors, especially navigation.
@@Dr.Schlitz he's probably referring to people what like outdoors type like myself we like off the grid living I don't own a smartphonei just have a pc
@@One-with-Odin ok you're still on UA-cam and you're still on the internet. 😂 You're not special.
@@One-with-Odin "off grid living" but uses UA-cam and has a PC 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@I , the potatoes didn't say I was special mate and yes it is still off grid leaving because I don't have water power relying on the government its all me I think normies have the ideal off-grid living is living in the bush with a couple of rocks and a Mud Hut .
I’ve got this trap and it’s gotten a single chipmunk in it in 6 months. Rats want no part of it, won’t even take the bait samples. I’ve got that ratinator and that thing catches tons. Funny what works in different places.
I have the original and it kills a lot!! The barn trap has turned into a feeding bin for mouse loving predators. That is kind of a bad thing, but we are getting used to the visitors!!
I've had mine for a month with a trail cam set up. The rats love this thing! They are all over it! EVERY night. They just don't want to stick their head in that little hole to trigger the trap :/ No kills. Looks like a waste of a lot of money.
Anybody else notice that big rat at the end had a completely different sound? I guess its skull was a tad tougher.
Ya think!!!
Squishhhh... I need that A18 for squirrels.
The mice were small enough they probably got juiced like a couple of cherries.
@@tenchraven I just imagine the mess if it hits one of those botfly larvae....
I finally figured out what the coin on the bait is for. When you remove the coin it causes a button battery to short and slowly release gas that pushes the bait out.
I've contemplated one of these traps every time I see them in our local farm supply store here in New Zealand but they are not cheap, fortunately we have a couple of cats that keep the rats and mice under control
Rat sounded different.
I like how the plunger made a dull thud on the rat instead of the sharper snap on the mouse.
Mice have pretty soft skulls. You could probably crush one with your hand strength if you felt inclined.
That was really nice of the company to send you one.
Much respect to them for doing that.
It was, but not doubt that they also got plenty of actual sales off the back of doing so.
@@seanscanlon9067
Thank you for your time and reply.
The a24 trap made me a fan of yours from a few years back
Nice and tenderized for the cleanup crew!
This is the "back to basics" stuff we're looking for. Keep it up.
man i been watching since the beginning, your killin it literally :) keep up the good work
The A-24 is my favorite trap you’ve tested. Best channel on UA-cam
Bluetooth! That way the corporations and govt will know you caught a mice! Awesome!
Not unless the govt and corporations are living next to your barn! Blue tooth is not a "space laser"!!
@@paulcopeland9035 No but the smartphone you use to pair the bluetooth to that thing is this "space" laser you absolutely perfectly well educated individual.
Seems to work really well!!
Expensive, but if you have the money, go for it!!
Thank you for this work.
I'm sure cleaning this is very difficult
Like imagine all of the blood and exploded brain parts you have to clean
This was my thoughts exactly.
Seems incredibly brutal to the owners detriment, even if it's easy to clean... A complete body is easier to dispose of
I don't think the rodents are killed via their heads basically exploding and more so from just a stunned blow to the head but everything is still intact once they keel over.
they're super easy to clean. Actually, I have one. it's not like the thing explodes inside the trap.
Garden hose
I just think of the mess if it hits one of those narsty botfly larvae inside the mice.
Your a wise man for holding onto a flip phone. Kuddos to you for making it work
I like how the mouse and rat jump when the trap gets triggered
Now THIS level of modern app trap is what I’m all about!!
Ahh, I thought I'd seen you do this one. Fancy upgrades, yay.
Mr. Skunk sure likes your trail cam. Sounded like it wanted to eat it too.
I love over engineered devices. Just makes me wonder what kind of person came up with the idea and why. 😅👍🏽
So that the rat and stoat traps don’t also catch flightless or otherwise curious birds, and also doesn’t need resetting super often :P there’s a pretty large debate over long term pest solutions for our national forests here in NZ, and the current solution for large sections of forest is 1080, a poison. I think it’s actually banned in the US? Something something dangerous to people and causing painful deaths.
A lot of people don’t like that 1080 is used in forests for pest control (fair, I also dislike it), and so the issue then becomes ‘how do you set up long term autonomous traps for hard to reach places that don’t also catch the native birds’. This is perhaps the most effective trap to come from that line of thinking.
It needs a conveyor belt to clear the killzone
when dealing with far too clever rats there a long way to the line of over engineered, bluetooth function does have some genuine benefit in telling you haw many charges are left in case something came by and had a dead rodent snack
@@FirelighttheKing effective, but too expensive to use in that large scale format. Those canisters alone would eat up the budget.
@@prcervi if rats were clever then traps and poison wouldn't be the #1 way of killing them. Think about it.
I bought and tried the A24 trap. I did not have great success with it. After putting it out, and putting a camera on it and putting it in several locations where there were known mice and rats, I did not know of a single successful hit. For several months, it was on the floor of a horse barn with a small cage to protect other animals from entering and monitored it with a trail camera and with the hit counter, yet did not know of a single successful kill. (Your experience may differ.) In the location I used it, there were cats, and I think the rats were avoiding the floor (I caught several climbing on the walls of the barn.) (Yes, screwed the trap to the wall for rats climbing on the narrow 2x4 the wood was nailed too.) I also placed this under a house in a crawl space for several months, where there should have been nothing to drag away the bodies, yet, with known mice and chipmunks in the area, nothing was caught. I had seen a prior video where this trap was shown to hit larger vermin, yet did not have luck with those either. After about all those failures and not a single known kill, I gave up on the trap.
I would be glad to give you a mailing address if it is in your way!! My mice and rats are not as smart as yours! The local mice eaters would love to have another "lunch tray" in the barn.
Thank you for the early disclosure. I really appreciate bring told who is buttering the bread and not just having it listed somewhere.
Where was the rat? I saw it ran off in the video, assuming it didn't make it far
Just because of this channel. I now like Mondays
🤣
👍👍 🐀
I liked the skunk asmr at the end, nice touch
I own two of the original versions of these traps. Great in theory, but I have not killed a single mouse or rat.
Are you sure, because sometime it kill and other rat drag the body away.
@@um8440 I also have the digital counter that shows how many times it’s triggered. So yes, I’m sure.
I like how stinky boy after eating, comes back and thanks the camera
That's awesome you still use a flip phone.
Even more awesome that they sent you a trap to test out again.
Nice design and pretty reliable. Shame it's so expensive
Yes this is not affordable
For an alleged mouse and rat trap expert his house seems to be overrun with vermin.
I have the dumb version. Its definitely effective. I've caught several mice with it. But of it sits too long all the air leaks out and it doesn't work.
I was always looking for new ways to dehead a ratmouse without having to do it myself. This will help with the stew. already gotta skin the things but twisting their heads off gets messy after the 30 one or so
Good work Crawdaddy.
Very impressive. Wonder how it would work on voles?
I wanted one years ago. Now that it is USA based, yeah. That holder thing is to mount on a wall or on a floor
Skunk “ thanks Shaun”
I love seeing the kokako on the app
Need to find a way to set one of those up over a bucket (55gal drum) when there's a bad infestation somewhere...
Leave it for a week, changing the cartridge every day.
It could be even better if you could adapt it to work with [kegerator] CO² canisters... that way it wasn't limited to 24 shots
Awesome Trap 🐀🐀
Bro you’re a legend for sticking to flip phones!
Happy Halloween Shawn Woods
I don’t understand skunkish but that guy is definitely a huge fan of the channel. I guess he gonna like to get some mousetrap Monday merch, maybe hoodie? I don’t think there’s any more devoted followers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I read about this NZ kill device years ago. They had rats swimming to an island by the 10,000. The only bad thing was for each dead rat, their buddies ate it. That meant it took longer to kill every rat. They did it.
"I still use a flip phone."
Most natural sounding comment in the whole video. I'm jealous too. I want to go back to a dumb phone but work makes that hard....
Awesome trap for sure
I mean, yes, it’s an expensive trap but for what it does, it’s well worth the cost and the headache it saves you by literally taking care of itself if you put it outside.
My husband still uses a flip phone. In 4 years I’ve gone through several and he still has his flip phone that holds charge for days rather than mine that only last a couple of hours
if there is nothing on the app that you have to reset for the app to register any more kills you could get an adaptor to use compressed air or co2 from a welding tank.
Yeah that is definitely a excellent trap
Especially with the humane kill 👍
The fact that you said you still had a flip phone is crazy
He has to use a burner phone 'cause the rat mafia ...
A pretty big UA-camr who still uses a flip phone. Color me impressed.
i finally had to give up my flip phone just a couple weeks ago. having issues with the smart phone like its volume cranks to the max on its own, no matter what i do to fix that. but i googled it and hope its fixed now. anyway, great video.
The OG!
Needs a way to attach this over a bucket so that the dead mice don't block the way in for others.
Do you think that it could be mounted on a slant so the expired rodent would slide out and clear the way?
*Thanks Shawn!* Can't this be HUNG\ MOUNTED on Post so Kill will Fall, [away] 'below', rather while on back, Pile Up?
Shawn, how hard would it be to make a coat of mouse pelts? How many mice would it take to make an XL?
Oh, hundreds. It takes over 70 mink to make a coat, and they're a good bit bigger.
Someone in the middle ages made one of squirrels? and that was well into the thousands
Do you have any anti squirrel devices? We have both ground and tree squirrels. The Squirrelinator was great one year but nada this year. Maybe the birds are eating the walnuts.
I wonder what the range of the Bluetooth is? I'm sure it's fine for around the house, but it may be lacking for something out in a barn that's some distance from the house. But you'd probably be alerted when you got within range.
Company website says 30 meters (or 100 feet). There are multiple versions of bluetooth protocol, The original bluetooth had a range of 100 feet. This is a very simple data transmission. (A notification only contains a few bytes to kilobytes of data). Real life usage is going to vary based on obstacles in the direct path and electronic noise of the area.
Is there a way to set times in the app when the trap is active? (eg. on at night, off during the day?)
this is the all time most effective mouse and rat trap i have ever owned .i bought an original A24 several years ago and i have probably killed 200 rodents with it including several squirrels ,,it doesn't miss
In most instances, you have to buy two partts. The base is sold separately. 😢
Does is the trap constantly connected to bluetooth? Or does it just connect what it needs to report in? (I'm thinking about battery life for both the phone and the trap). If I'm out of range will it reconnect once in range?
I still use my cat, they cause lot of mess when they kill of course, nothing fancy. Work great so far, and I don't feel like changing into anything fancy like this for few years.
What button releases the acid to dissolve the rat slowly and painfully?
Your very humbling , 👍
Bro pulled out the flip Alcatel 😂
I noticed when you inserted the pirate mouse, it activated twice in short order. If the mouse gets stuck with the trigger in the tripped position, will it continue to activate until the CO2 it depleted?
Hi there!
We notice the same thing while watching.
This looks to be because of the angle the trap is being held at to show the viewer how it works. Normally the trap would set off and as soon as the trigger released, gravity would cause the rodent to drop before allowing the trigger to set off again. Here the dummy tester looks to be hovering around the trigger after having been set off since the video is trying to show the viewer how the trap actually works.
Another possible reason is that the test dummy is significantly smaller than rodents and in testing it looks like it pushed the tester back behind the trigger into a position an actual rodent would not be able to get itself in which caused the second trigger.
Hope that helps :)
Thank you for responding
Excellent product and I hope it helps sort out the pest issue in NZ without affecting the native wildlife.
Does it work for ground squirrel?
Do you still need to have "location" set to "always" in your phone for notifications to work? I gave up using notifications on mine for this reason. Love the trap, hate the software.
What are your thoughts on the Chinese-made version of the A24, available all over eBay??
I saw the part where he still uses a flip phone and immediately knew I had to pause and check the comments.
As always Shawn, gloves Shawn, gloves. Protect yourself and your family.
Soap? Is that not available in the US?
Finally they started selling this version in the states. Took them years
Hey, I use the same flip phone. I thought I was the only one left. 🙂
"No country for old Rats"!!! 😂😂😂
these are some fine injection molded parts
This thing is hilarious, I’ll take 2
I’m proud of you for still using a flip phone. That’s exactly why you’re out putting up the good fight against rodents. If I showed my kids a flip phone they would be clueless. 😢
So macabre, you'd think it was All Hallows Eve: an expensive killing device with an app that notifies you of the deed. Shades of things to come.
best rat trap! i l like it!😄😄
Does it notify you when you are away or just within range?
I’m wondering this too!
Only within range, direct bluetooth connection to your phone. 100 foot range.
Flip-n-slide all the way!
Awesome
Lol did the skunk stick it's nose up there and get clipped? Did you get the skunk?
Naughty rats get the smart phone piston
Did that final rat escape?
GOOD JOB
That's cool now how come those rats aren't as huge as the one's I've seen
Bluetooth range: around 30 feet (10 meters). Best keep that in mind. I suspect many people aren't likely to hang around within 30 feet of wherever their rats may be.
30 feet to the modem. Once its there it's on the web..
@@Rodneygd Modem? Yours has Bluetooth? My router certainly doesn't and it's a VERY good one. I'm an IT professional servicing hundreds of homes and businesses. I have never once seen a modem or router with Bluetooth. The BT protocol isn't designed for that kind of networking.
@@Rodneygd None of this uses the web lol
30 meters 100 feet. This is within the limits of the original bluetooth (aka 10-15 year old version of it)
