Today for Mousetrap Monday, we're gonna be looking at this new rodent trap. It's called the Weasel; I really like it, it has a slim design and it's capable of catching multiple mice in one night. Let's setup the motion cameras and see this "Weasel" rodent trap in action.
Today on mouse trap monday we are trying this new organic mouse trap known as the american weasel. The weasel has a unique trigger system and a mouth similar to a snap trap.
I can't help now but to think that a live catch trap actually brings death indirectly to mouse predators, because if the trap would have been activated by the mouse, the weasel would have actually died of starvation.o_O
Mikhail Varkovsky what?! There were 2 other mice in this video alone. That weasel is never gonna gonna run out of food. If he does he'll just got about a half mile and boom endless rodents again.
If you don't have other animals to protect from weasels, they are handy to have around. I lived in a log house on a forested lot, and there were lots of mice trying to come in, especially in the cold weather. Once a local weasel showed up and discovered the abundant supply of mice, he made the property part of his rounds. No more mouse problem.
Don't know why I love your videos, but I just do, one of the things I do like about your channel is the way you don't whine when your videos got demonetized and age restricted like a lot of youtubers do, but you found a way around it with your website and the unlisted videos, very clever that, you deserve all the success you are having, your kids have a great dad.
Hey Shawn -- I just thought of another revenue stream for you. You should go to the local town, rent an abandoned store front, and open up a mouse trap museum. Not only could you have interactive displays with your videos, but shelves of the mousetraps that you are collecting, and of course a merchandise gift shop full of mouse stuff. It would be a real tourist "trap".
I'd rather improve the coop so that the weasel can't enter the chick area rather than disposing of the weasel! The weasel might eat several mice a day and if it breeds, you have a natural, effective and costless way of getting rid of many mice. Edit: I have chickens and had chicks myself and I'm aware that improving the whole coop is costly and impractical. Improving just a secluded area for the chicks however might be a viable option for you, depending on how many chicks you raise.
the american weasel kills full grow chickens as well, not just chicks. they Frenzie and kill all or as many as possible, not even eating them. its sad when it happens.
Josepi Mann That looked like a least weasel, not like a normal sized weasel. It might try to attack the chickens but I don't know of it is as big of a threat to them as bigger weasels.
As a brazilian, I admit that you probably have the most satisfying english to listen to, making me enjoy your channel even more. I found this channel a while ago and I never thought I would like mouse traps so much. Keep up the good work Shawn. God bless you.
I made one very similar when I was 13 out of lego blocks. I actually trapped the mouse, but it chewed it's way out of the floor because I had used a thinner mat that the lego blocks had come with for a base. Brought back a fond memory of improvisation.
That box would be easy to make in quantity in a two car garage. Table saw, router table, belt sander. Drill press and a few jigs to make assembly quicker. Nice little business if you can swing it.
This concept works very well. I built one and caught a rat with it. One modification I made was to make a T-shaped trigger instead of L-Shaped. I didn't want to give them a way to skirt around the other side to get to the bait.
Honestly would love to see if you could live catch that Weasel and then tame it by hand. Would be so awesome. You could make videos of your pet weasel hunting and catching weasels on camera that's one video I'll love I'll throw you £5 on patreon if you keep me weasel as a pet :^)
this trap works well...but the problem with designs like this is that it only works one at a time....i like designs that work overnight and catch lots of mice without resetting again the trap. nice video btw
The real Havahart trap company makes live-catch traps in sizes from teeny tiny mice on up to raccoons, foxes, and coyotes. I'm sure one of them's the right size for a weasel. Where you release the weasel is, of course, up to you.
Use a rat trap with anise flavored bait for the weasel. I've had the little bastards kill 20 chickens in one night. It looked like Freddy Krueger had been in my coop.
One change I would make, the locking pin. I'd drill from side down at sharp angle and into side of door front. That way pin works with gravity and even lifting door the pin would not come out.
Please use a live trap for the weasels. Another good deterrent for mice is weasel or ferret poop. They hate the smell of it. I used to use my ferrets on our mouse problem in our attic.
Shawn, GET THAT WEASEL ASAP!!!!!! I lost young chickens once, possibly to coyotes, so I know what's going on. Try the scissor death fall trap, the one you used on the skunks who killed your chicken. Joe
Hi! I enjoy watching your flintknapping, archery, gardening, etc. videos, as well as your live-catch videos, but not your killing-trap ones. Sometimes it's a little hard to tell from the thumbnail what mechanism of action the trap uses; is there any chance you could add a flair (e.g. "[LIVE]” or ”[KILL]” or ”[HISTORY]") so viewers can more easily select what they're interested in?
Evan Boyar As much as this subculture of people wanting to keep the constantly-breeding pests alive annoys me, I really love this idea. I prefer to know what I'm getting into just so that I can mentally play with the mechanics of it quicker. Plus, I loved the historical ones, live or kill traps. It'd be nice to see that tag from time to time
I'm a woodworker so I really like this trap. It could easily be made larger depending on what you're hunting for. I will be making one of these! Too bad you have chickens or I'd just recommend more weasels. How about ferrets??
Thank you Shawn once again! Second mouse got luck! He was in a box before Weasel returned. Well built trap. Was the weight of the trap. The boards look thick.
If you could protect your chicks from the weasel, it'd be a good friend to have around to take care of the mouse problem. Just don't use a kill trap, I have a lady friend who loves weasels, ferrets etc and she'd have kittens if she sees it.....btw: she's crazy attractive too and a real sweetheart so...you've been warned lol She actually takes sick animals in and nurses them back to health and those who are at the end of their life due to cancer or just old age, she takes them in and gives them a nice home i their last days. She truly is a wonderful person.
It's not the weasels you have to worry about around your chickens, because it's mink that will indiscriminately kill chickens and not eat them. Weasels are usually blamed for something that mink do, mink are vicious, and mink won't go after dead bait, it has to be alive and make a lot of noise. There's live catch traps that will accommodate live bait. The only other way to catch mink is with the scent glands from another mink, but that'll only work around mating season.
I upvoted based on the title alone, without even watching it! SMH! Sidenote, the fact that this is a Mr. Woods made video has allot to do with it too! Awesome vid, as it ya’ll didn’t already know this!
what is the best bait for mouse. I have trap in my house an in the garage (walk the plank) I been using peanut butter an only ants are eating it. I saw a mouse in my house (only saw it once) but cant catch any. HELP shawn

Now lets see my black pet mouse test the trap
Alex J Of course she is a payed stunt actor and no mouse were armed during the making of this video
Ok i got scared
Lool this is exactly why I read the comments, I love seeing how funny and creative people can be
You got it covered, man!

Matt Soper oh I made a similar comment but didn't see yours on beforehand. I see you are a man of class aswell
Matt Guess you both had the same idea since youre both called Matt
It's a multi-catch trap.
I was going to make a joke about both of you being named Matt but I couldn’t come up with one cause two people already said jokes I was thinking
Matt Soper yeeet
Yeah that mouse sure didn't look like it wanted to come out after seeing that weasel the night before LOL
It's not like he was running out of food in there either
*opens trap, mouse looks up*
"nah I like it better here"
Weasel is the original 'live' trap for rodents (except not for the rodents).
Lol
*Weasel not included with your purchase*
If you trap the weasel PLEASE make a trap that makes a loud "POP" when triggered!
Only some of us are going to get this. Good job!
Pop goes the weasel
ubetchya78 hilarious 🤣
ubetchya78 😅
Stop clowning around
dang now you paying weasels
😂
I need their numbers
weasels are payed actors...
Life's irony if the mouse activated the trap it would have lived!!
Stratis Kalogirou
i'm surprised more of the caught mice haven't been getting eaten by the weasel.
My thoughts exactly
I can't help now but to think that a live catch trap actually brings death indirectly to mouse predators, because if the trap would have been activated by the mouse, the weasel would have actually died of starvation.o_O
He wouldnt of died of starvation. He would kill another mouse.
Mikhail Varkovsky what?! There were 2 other mice in this video alone. That weasel is never gonna gonna run out of food. If he does he'll just got about a half mile and boom endless rodents again.
Mouse: *whispers* "Its free real estate"
Weasel:*whispers* its free food
WHY AM I PISSING MYSELF OVER THIS SHDHDHSHSHAHAHAHAHA
TheMinkmermaid You're not alone in this. XD
HAHAHAHA
Weasel: whispers “do u kno de wae my bruddha”
You have competitor
CATCH IT!
weasel trap Wednesday
ClogNog yessssss
im surprised this only has 2 replys
no it has 3
Ultimatevroomvroom YT 5
Why? Weasels aren't vermin as far as I'm concerned
You need a bear to catch & eat the weasel. Then you can build that bear trap full size....
Then you'd need a lion to run the bear off, then an elephant to run off the lion. Then, to get rid of the elephant, you need...a mouse!
jjohnston94 wow, brilliant!
One of the Foxfire books, #6 I think, actually has plans for a home-made bear trap. NOT an afternoon project...
It becomes a never ending cycle lol
jjohnston94 cool
In America you hav rodent broblem. In Russia we have bear infestation.
I would rather have bears!
In Russia the bear trap you
That would be OK! I'm having trouble finding one here this year....
*In Soviet Russia*
Russia doesn’t care about bears they are their best friends

We want Weasel Weekdays!
Weasel Wednesday...……………….??
Shawn Woods meets Joseph Carter
Guns & Accessories the mink man
I was thinking that
1 Brocc > 1 Bowl of Peanut Oil
Mink Man!
LeviathanRX you forgot Onsa.
A mouse trap that not only does not kill its target but in this case wound up saving its life. Wild.
good to see Pauly Shore on film again.. even if its minor rolls.
ClarkReviews 👍👍😂😂😂😂
Hahaha!!!!

Make the weasel work for you and record it hunting mice.
ME VIDEOS *mice is plural, mouse is singular
ME VIDEOS good idea.
Look up Minkenry or something like that. Guy has pet minks to hunt mice and rats.
Strap a go pro to it
Mr Skuffles, call it ‘Killcam’.

GKBITANCUR Nan da yo
GKBITANCUR Rem is best waifu
AEG YT Thank You! :)

A bunch of thought and pride went into that trap. For the price it was a bargain.
"This mouse is about to be assaulted by a vicious predator."
Think you've got a typo there, right by "... most adorable predator ever."
I made one very similar when I was 13 out of lego blocks. I actually trapped the mouse, but it chewed it's way out of the floor because I had used a thinner mat that the lego blocks had come with for a base. Brought back a fond memory of improvisation.
Have none of these mice seen your channel?
Chris Hansen this is why i love the comment section
lmao. underrated comment
I AM WEASEL
awfullufwa you sir earned my like and respect
Michael Dorn's best role.
So much nostalgia in that reference
TRAP
THAT
WEASEL
That weasel was incredible.
planejet42 the weasel gets the early mouse, and the second mouse gets the sunflower seeds!!
Weasel Trap Wednesday coming soon 😂😂
This channel has helped me so much with my mouse and rat infestation on what traps work and how to use them and strategy thanks so muchb
forget chicks; weasels can kill chickens of literally any size.
So it's not a mousetrap - it's a weasel feeding station :P
3:32 "there you go, you´re free" sounds very convincing and warm-hearted D:
That box would be easy to make in quantity in a two car garage. Table saw, router table, belt sander. Drill press and a few jigs to make assembly quicker. Nice little business if you can swing it.
What you clicked this video for is at 1:58. Thank me later.
This concept works very well. I built one and caught a rat with it. One modification I made was to make a T-shaped trigger instead of L-Shaped. I didn't want to give them a way to skirt around the other side to get to the bait.
Honestly would love to see if you could live catch that Weasel and then tame it by hand. Would be so awesome. You could make videos of your pet weasel hunting and catching weasels on camera that's one video I'll love I'll throw you £5 on patreon if you keep me weasel as a pet :^)
@@-schattenpflanze-3755 there's a giy that does. He has a UA-cam channel called minkenry
@@bryanallen8851 no he has them since birth, as I said it's impossible to tame adults
@@-schattenpflanze-3755 he goes to mink farms to get adults. He has plenty of videos showing him do so
Shatten you are indeed correct
I second to this
Mouse: I just found dinner!
Weasel: You ARE dinner!
Mouse: 😳
this trap works well...but the problem with designs like this is that it only works one at a time....i like designs that work overnight and catch lots of mice without resetting again the trap. nice video btw
Mouse:A house for me!no.
Weasel:I smell dinner!!!
*fighting*
Weasel:I’ll bring it back
"Yeah Imma gonna go in here and trap myself to be safe from that thing"
The real Havahart trap company makes live-catch traps in sizes from teeny tiny mice on up to raccoons, foxes, and coyotes. I'm sure one of them's the right size for a weasel. Where you release the weasel is, of course, up to you.
Great craftsmanship. Whoever made that trap put a little effort into making it look nice and smooth.
That weasel gave that mouse a lil flip alright...
Use a rat trap with anise flavored bait for the weasel. I've had the little bastards kill 20 chickens in one night. It looked like Freddy Krueger had been in my coop.
Mark Wandrey weasles are cool animals, I'm still sorry for your chicken
They can be really bad. Neat little animals, but not of you have chickens!
Thanks for the book link. I love traps and old books. The two combined are about as good as life gets any more.
"Let's go test it out with our pet mice" lol I really do like that phrase!😂
Best video yet! Love the weasel surprise. Hope you can catch him.
One change I would make, the locking pin. I'd drill from side down at sharp angle and into side of door front. That way pin works with gravity and even lifting door the pin would not come out.
The trap is too cosy! The mouse did not want to leave!
Shawn’s mice living a life. Test a trap every so often, unlimited sunflower seeds. Life is good.
So happy to see a wild mustelid on your channel!
I think that weasel is gonna have to catch a little flip ...
NO WAY! i got an ad!! Thats so awesome!!!
Glad I caught this video ! UA-cam didn’t send me a notification for this video !!!
Please use a live trap for the weasels. Another good deterrent for mice is weasel or ferret poop. They hate the smell of it. I used to use my ferrets on our mouse problem in our attic.
LOL... The mouse is like "... It is safe in here... I have food... It is roomy... Do I really HAVE to leave? I think I'll just stay."
Shawn, GET THAT WEASEL ASAP!!!!!! I lost young chickens once, possibly to coyotes, so I know what's going on. Try the scissor death fall trap, the one you used on the skunks who killed your chicken. Joe
natural mouse trap.. nice

I don't have mouse/rat problems but I just watch cause I am so addicted to it.
....mice, gophers, moles voles, & SOON TO BE ADDED - "WEASELS"!!!!!!!!!
Maybe even bears
Mouse: NANI-!?
Weasel: Omae wa mo SHINDEIRU!
*door closes*
Mouse: "catch me now weasel!"
Weasels are crazy. Lovely trap. Great video.
What a great thing to capture on camera!
*Buy a Weasel on Ebay instead....*
That is definitely a high quality made product. Definitely Made in the USA !
A live trap-kill video all in one. Awesome video
Love your videos Shawn keep them going your awesome !!!!!! 😎😎😎
the self setting trap, in the same book would be a nice option for your next build along
If you could protect your chicks from the weasel, it'd be a good friend to have around to take care of the mouse problem.
Just don't use a kill trap, I have a lady friend who loves weasels, ferrets etc and she'd have kittens if she sees it.....btw: she's crazy attractive too and a real sweetheart so...you've been warned lol

That's awesome keep the weasels around!
"no no no, I'm okay in here. I'm safe in here"
Shawn Woods is the Mouse Trap man.
I am absolutely going to research the similar trap for BEARS. Holy mousetrap Batman!
Can't wait to see the live trap for the weasel. Probably could use that same one here with fresh meat on the stick.
Those mice are catching hell in that barn. Mouse traps and weasels.
Lets go for that Weasel.
Mouse: *minding it's own buisness*
POP GOES THE WEASEL
ooh, man! I can't wait to watch the weasel video!!
It's not the weasels you have to worry about around your chickens, because it's mink that will indiscriminately kill chickens and not eat them.

Second mouse wanted protective custody!
Starring mice,rats,squirrels,chipmunks,moles,voles,gophers and presenting our new cast member! Weasel!
The weasel couldn’t wait for Shawn.
Are there any traps that could allow you to use live bait? Or maybe you could rig one up?
A weasel? The plot thickens!
I upvoted based on the title alone, without even watching it! SMH! Sidenote, the fact that this is a Mr. Woods made video has allot to do with it too! Awesome vid, as it ya’ll didn’t already know this!
I love these live catch traps
NEVER a dull moment! maybe deathly for some, but Never dull. Thanks! - - Raising & Training Weasels ??
