What a clever invention! Who would have guessed all those mice were still logging in to AOL?
"You Have Mail" Deluxe: not only does the trap door actively open, an overhead paddle slaps that sucker down through it*
____
* Not PETA certified...
i thought the mouse trap would play that sound
Definitely need a mega model for good sized rats
Exactly, one that'll fit a 55 gallon drum, and send those rats on a one way trip to Disneyland in California. That would be great if porch pirates would steal them, and maybe put Mojave green rattlesnakes in the packages, to liven up the experience.
I think that all it needs for catching rats is a larger tra door.
@@Riceball01 Same for catching squirrels.
I like that Shawn is a naturalist, too. I'm glad he thinks about the ecosystem and the welfare of the native species he catches in his live traps.
I think if it was bigger than this , then it would be the top trap for rats imo. Awesome,hope it's comes out bigger and affordable.
Yup, the only thing it is missing for large rats is enough length to get the legs. The door could also use some sort of damper at the end of travel so it doesn't slap around so much.
I must say you do have the biggest rats I have ever seen. Interesting video.
Years ago I went to Hong Kong. One evening while walking down a sidewalk I saw a mouse run into a sewer. I said look, a mouse just ran into the sewer. Someone said, that wasn't a mouse, it was a cockroach. That was the biggest cockroach I've ever seen. I don't mind rats, mice, spiders, snakes or almost any creatures, except cockroaches. I can't stand them. Mosquitoes and flies are irritating, but I don't hate them like I hate cockroaches. One of my favorite commercials was years ago. A couple were dancing with lots of foot movement, someone came out and said STOP, that's no way to kill roaches.
He feeds them. All for making youtube money
packrats are enormous
Even before watching it in action I was thinking the rat sensor should be just as far back as the mouse sensor because the rat would not go far enough in. Maybe make the tunnel an inch longer and put the food tray an inch further past the sensors
The trap does not actually trigger on the rat height sensor. When the forward sensor is triggered, it simply checks the rat height sensor to see if it is also blocked. if it is, then it considers the it to be a rat. They are definitely BIG rats!
@@robertbullock7926 thanks for the clarification
Definitely need a bigger trap for the large full grown rats . However this is a great idea and concept. The invention is very cleaver. And seems to work very well for mice .
Shawn you’re always great to watch! You’re so informative on wether it’s a local species or not. It’s easy to see you genuinely care about animals and the environment.
Love the mouse resort / playground you created. It's a fun addition when you're making a live catch trap.
I have to admit that's such a cute design for such a deathly trap lol. Imagine a post-mail rat in a costume.
That would be a funny logo for a finished product! Mouse / rat mailman
The timing of this trap is perfect. They drop down the instant they think they're gonna have some food 😆
The stability of the gang-plank is a game changer. About the rats, are those state fair, prize winning rodents?
The way that one baby pack rat rolled over on his back when Shawn poked him with a stick lmao
"If I let these guys go in the wild a hawk would get them, they'd be goners"
I rarely see you this excited about a trap, and for good reason. This one is cutting edge.
7:01 That rat roll was so cute. Seemed a bit slow that one.
It is so funny to see all the mice just chilling in the fish tank hanging out like, “It got you too, huh?”.

I bet the Chinese gonna make a copycat trap of this like the other's
I don’t understand the need to move into one or the other mode.
Hi Shawn, neat trap!!!!
I might suggest to the inventor that the trap door have an attached vertical side wall inside the tunnel on the side opposite the solenoid. This way the dropping door pulls the side wall down and pushes the rat down. That solenoid is quite powerful and should easily force the rat down.

@@Squishy3757 Rats kill an eat mice!
@@duanecjohnson An interesting idea, I considered something like a raising drawbridge that could come up and push it into the trap. I have already made changes for rev 2 to deal with the larger rats that might be enough.
I have lengthened the trap by an inch, raised the ceiling by an inch and widened it by .5 inch. This may be enough because if the rat does not need to stretch out to get into the tunnel, its feet will be closer together so even a larger rat may fit inside the trap. Also, if their butt doesn't hit the top of the trap I think they would fall in even if their feet were still outside of the trap. I expected the rats to be really skittish but was really surprised by the rat that triggered the trap four times in a row.
Just lengthen the trap door and you will get the rats as well. That would be a very easy fix.
If only the post office was as efficient.
Keep up the good work. my daughter and I like watching your videos together. My most effective trap so far is the snap trap and 1.77 pellets.
I built a similar trap what uses a blender.
The rodent climbs in and has to stand on or over the blade to reach the bait.
The sensor trips the motor relay for 10 sec.
10 seconds in a blender... That should do the trick,
2:23 Mouse, "Shawn, what's my motivation for this scene? I need direction."
Shawn.... I was waiting for the on-screen counter for the mice.
The baby rats clumsily tumbling out of the tank are so cute
Integrate this trap with a chew-proof wi-fi webcam, and then *who needs netflix?*
People could watch and place bets on the time and number of mice captured.
Reading the title I was sure that trap would be sending e-mail's 😂
I like this trap cause it's sudden and fast and the floor looks like it feels Very secure under foot until it isn't anymore. Very efficient. Love it.
That coconut at the end is like a clown-car for mice. 🤡🤡🤡
Did like 30 mice come outta there? 🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭
hahaha, i had the same thoughts
Your pet mice are very hard workers and they deserve some medals and insurance schemes for workplace safety
The only adjustment it needs is the drop doors to be 2-3 inches longer.
Nice work Bob...I am anxious to see the new improved model. Well done!
i like to think after the 4th or 5th mouse got caught, they were all having a campfire while they awaited the arrival of more mics. "welcome to hell brother, have a seat near the fire"
Marvellous! There are still some clever inventors out there!
I'd say try greasing the outer edge so if a rat tries to hold on after triggering the trap it might slip in, along with moving the rat sensor another centimeter or two further in or use two sensors that have to be simultaneously triggered for the rat in the event that placing a sensor further in might trigger off a mouse standing while eating.
Not having read all the comments, so I would suggest to the inventor of "you got mail(mice) that a metal plate be on the board. So when a rat comes along and the bottom falls out, a shock to his rear feet and he'll go into the bucket.
Darwin's Dear Mice: release them in the wild and they immediately run into the trap that caught them.
... sigh ...
"Dear Mice"! I'm not sure I agree ... deer mice are kinda cute, but 'dear' is going a bit far.
😂last deer mouse was aLL "Ah wurnt thurt purnurt burter!"
The last deer mouse never wanted to leave the mouse paradise and wanted to get caught again lol.
Shawn shows a lot of love for nature, thank you.
The rat part had me creasing with laughter. 😂
I think the baby pack rats loved the tank and didn't want to go. Lol. Deer mouse, too!
This is a great trap, excellent design. You could probably even incorporate a zapper into the flap so the rat gets zapped for 30 sec or so when triggered, and then disposed by way of the flap.
I wonder what the battery life is like if the electromagnet is being powered continually?
The trap door is held shut by a rare earth magnet. The electromagnet is only powered for about 1/100th of a second. Since it is the opposite polarity of the magnet, they repel and that is what launches the trap door open. I am expecting the battery life to be somewhere in the four months on a charge range.
@@robertbullock7926 Perfect! Are you planning on making these available for sale complete or as a diy kit once you’ve ironed out any issues?
@@paulh71 I am working on the next revision right now. I think I have sorted out the issues highlighted in these videos already. There are some additional features that were planned from the start that will take some time. Cost will be one of the challenges.
The indicator flag would make a clever addition to any trapdoor-style catch trap.
The trap works great it only needs a longer tunnel for the rat to walk through than it would work👍🏻👍🏻😊
I hope his invention is not stolen by people making cheap-o versions.
Oh it's certainly going to happen
Nice one! Looking forward to the next generation of it.
A solid base instilling a large sense of security is the key...
And, I'm still convinced the Thunder Dome is top dog for powered traps since it will work with any size critter capable of getting into the Dome.
Awesome design
That looks like a magic trick. The mouse just disappears!
Pet mouse..” look out boys, it’s Monday”
There should really be a setting for mice and rats. My buckets are filled with saltwater, so I can't see why I'd care if the mice and rats intermingle. It's not like they are coming out alive anyway.
Yes, quite correct. It does have that setting although it was not mentioned.
Why would ANYONE want to kill mice and yet leave the Rats to live? Or Visa-versa?
There is no need for silly settings, just trap them all. They are vermin, remember.
@@robertbullock7926 Well then it looks like a winner to me!
holy crap that thing is quick! I think the coons and hawk would loved to have the rats and mice!
Another great trap . I am surprised no one has made a mouse trap like the game 👍🏼 that would be something 😎
1. The food ledge could be set further back, or maybe a small cup for peanut butter set inside the back wall, you only need 1 tsp of the stuff. "sniff sniff!!"
2. The length, width and height of tunnel need slight enlargement for those mama rats.
3. The tunnel entrance needs a smooth curved transition like a funnel so that mama pack rat can't anchor her hind legs on the walls edge.
Otherwise a GREAT prototype... Like, REALLY great! While I like the idea of electronic self setting traps, from a mechanical perspective I do prefer the independence of a mechanical self setting trap, no batteries or glitches from mouse pee or rain to damage the circuits.
Lucky rats! non evasive, in a remote shed. Not getting relocated, killed or eaten. quite possibly the luckiest caught rodents I've seen on this channel to date! =D
Another great video by rodent catching legend... Shawn Woods. ^_^
This trap is AWESOME. Having the door snap open is a key feature. I'd suggest to Bob to have a mouse only version with a smaller tunnel. That way the rat / squirrel playing with the door issue wouldn't happen.
at 4:40 Need one kangaroo size...🤣🤣
That was a cool piece of tech someone made! Fantastic!
That trap seems best for mice, the rat and squirrel were too big for the trap, each one kept their balance.
It’s a great invention, but we need one that accommodates Big hulking squirrels. And long body rats.
I think it'd be cool if it attached to your wifi and you could configure it to send you an email or a text message each time the trap activated. And maybe let you know if it was a mouse or a rat.
Why? You want to leave it overnight to capture as many as possible. You'll find out in the morning how many and what kind of critters it caught.
Not everybody checks every rodent trap on a daily basis.
Replace the microcontroller with an inexpensive ESP32 and it could send an alert, including the "mouse" vs "rat" mode.
I'll save you Fred as it walks by the tank. Oops fell in too.
Good one dude ! Great invention - now to just have a dimensional portal that they fall into - then no need to clean up after the trap !
Lmao imagine that!
🙃
Great invention just needs a little fine tuning for the rats, needs to be a bit bigger. But super mousetrap. Keep up the good videos.
4:13 ENEMY INCOMMING!!
4:30 ITS TOO BIG!!!!
5:13 TOP 10 RAT BETRAYAL!!
Those ratties looked kinda cute! And they almost didn't want to go away!
Last mouse wanted to go back to the amusement park, so he tried the entrance again, but the gate was closed and Shawn kicked him out.
Would a larger and longer trap be all it needs to get larger rats?
As always Shawn, gloves Shawn, gloves. Protect yourself and your family.
Don't be a germaphobe spaz.
@@__1201 don't be a wilfully ignorant AH. Maybe try Google to learn what you are posting about. The actual plague has been found in his area.
@@__1201 9 up votes from people who know vs your wilful ignorance
@@__1201 too much of a coward to have a name and only using a line?
@@tpl608 yes, because 8 cases in oregon since 1995 is a real epidemic. Might need to shelter in place lmao.
This trap is fast! It would have been cool to see some slow motion footage of the trap and mouse reactions.
These pet mice are absolute troopers
It seems to work very well, it just needs a bigger door if it also wants to do rats.
I just want to say that from what I've seen you and your son treat your actual pets so well. Props
Holy cow, this one is awesome!!
I'm in the burbs. For mice or rats, I'll use the same principle of the rolling log? I won't differentiate between either vermin. If they are native species, they will continue to multiply.
Long time sub.
The use of aquarium is a great addition.
I *just* built a very similar trap! Same solenoid setup and sideways trap door! It's actually shaped more like a traditional mailbox (because I wanted it to be seamless on top), but lacks the flag. I built my trap on top of a cage rather than a bucket (I wanted it to only be a humane trap), which gave me more room to work with and visibility as to what I caught. (There's also a camera watching and recording everything.) It currently uses a low-power capacitive touch sensor as the trigger rather than an IR beam.
I am only concerned with rats (including babies), so didn't consider trying to distinguish between rats and mice, but I once built a very similar dual-beam device to distinguish between cats and dogs at my parents' place. (They allowed their cats into their living room, but not their dogs, so if a dog tried to enter, it sounded an annoying beeper (that I intended to replace with something inaudible to humans once it was working reliably). I ran into problems, though, with cats' tails sometimes fooling the device into thinking it was a dog. I also suspect the dogs would have eventually figured out how evade being detected.
Is your trap for sale? I’d like to buy it
I think for the rats the door needs to be longer or the infrared sensor needs to be closer to the bait so that way they have to be fully on the door before it's activated
That worked great. 👍 The squirrel was hungry and bored. Good trap.
They were having so much fun, they didn't want to leave.
for some reason reminds me of the old Frankenstein hand comes out and grabs the coin back in the 60s‼️®™️ 🤣🤣
Wow, I had one of those, long forgotten. As I recall it was the speed of it that made it funny. Good one.
@@robertbullock7926 Absolutely if I remember right I saw a video on UA-cam of a slow Mo of it and it was still pretty damn fast, hilarious❗️my dad had one back in the early 60s, that i was fascinated by it‼️®™️
5:30 AWWW POOR GUY
The little fellas were having a good time in there and didn't want to leave.
4:44: I told you in the last video --- the "You've got mail" trap has to be proportionally as big for rats as it is for mice or else it won't work for rats.
If it was bigger and long well damn that thing would catch everything
4:39: Ha ha, the flag broke and flew off.
Now that is a great design for a rat / mousetrap
But I'm not the only one thinking that the mother set up the young ones to be caught?
Super effective. Wow. And love the deer mice as per usual. Great vid.
I think you need less wood landing and more trap floor to catch large rats and maybe make it more smooth that the rat can't grip the floor with their hind feet.
Loved that trap. Even with the electronics, that's not much of an issue nowadays. There's a lot of room for development there to be explored. Nice video, Shawn.
This looks like the best trap ever
Inf___ingcredible!
Best electric trap I've seen! The high speed door is a guaranteed catch and the mice never even get to touch the bait.
Pack rats remind me of docile giant mice, we caught one under a bowl once you n mama's kitchen is n Salt Lake City Utah. It was calm and seemed confused. We took it out of town and let it go.
Verry verry nice trap.
I think that woulda worked perfect for the rat if it had just been a little longer. I love this channel, really interesting to see all the ingenuity people bring
you've got mail!
8:37 This mouse wants in... :)
So entertaining !
Shawn!! What you doing bro you saving rats now
