The bucket traps do work! Try putting just a little trail of peanut butter on the board leading up to the rim of the bucket! Just enough to attract and hold their attention!
Put the peanut butter on a simple wooden mouse trap. The mice try to lick it off and the spring trap comes down on it. The traps are placed on the ground where the mice are and can be re-used many times to catch the mice...they are inexpensive and they work well with peanut butter
The reason the mice ate everything off one side of the can is that it is mounted lop-sided. The can has to spin smoothly in either direction from any position. You don't need such a huge ramp. Mice are poor sighted so they usually run along walls. Check Shawn Woods' channel on UA-cam for everything you ever wanted to know about trapping mice, rats, voles, etc.
I wonder if the plank needs to be closer to the can and maybe put just a little whiff of peanut butter on the very edge of the plank? And definitely cats and I can't wait to see what cats you're getting. You guys are doing so great 👍❣️ love your place 😊
I would use the old wooden traps with stinky cheese. open up the area where the bait goes and get it in there good and tight. I spray pam on the little area where the trigger sits to make it more sensitive.
Evan and Reb I had a mouse problem in my farm house and I bought the high pitch noise plug in's from Canadian tire .. I can't prove if they work but I put four in my house and there is no more mice .They work and don't affect anything else .Good tip that works
Hello from the Netherlands . sawdust and certainly also wood chips are a very good ground cover for a stable. and do not attract mice. There are also trap boxes available where several can walk in
Turn the bucket so that the mice can walk on the wire to get to the can. They are more likely to walk to the can than jump. Also instead of a wire use a wooden dowel. The can will still spin and it will make it easier for them to get to the bait. Also keep the bait in the middle of the can so that they have to get on the can to reach the bait. Set up correctly a bucket trap is deadly effective.
The mice will not go up an open surface normally, but if you have a covered tube going up to the bucket you should catch a lot more as the mice will not think they are out in the opren. either use a piece of black plastic pipie with a tee against the wall, the tee should sit right in their runway, they will explore.
Evan need to do two things 1 need to place the bucket against wall (Mice are blind and they go by sense of feel). Had a piece of would to the top so they walk out and onto the can. Or use a bigger can you want the edge to go right up to the can also put the board flush to the platform. So for example they walk up onto the platform then onto the can
How about just using a brace pole to hold back the lid? One idea I have would be to use a length of dowel and drill holes in the rim and one in the lid for the post could fit in. Just an idea. Art in Calif
Put all feed up at night unless you get rodent proof feeders that are expensive. Hardware cloth enclose all stored feed. Adopt some barn cats. I adopted from the city, they were free, fixed and vaccinated. Had to keep them in a big cage for 2 weeks so they would stay. Worked great.
Mouse trap.. Affix a cardboard ramp from both sides of the can to the edge of the bucket. They think it's a bridge and race to get to the can but the cardboard bridge won't hold them. I cleaned my barn out in about a week sometimes getting up to 15 a night. Try the cardboard bridge . -Russ (Florida)
Hi from Italy, for the mouse the best trap is the sticky glue, is like a plastic board with some special glue only for mouse. Hope you can find out in the States if not buy online.
Put sunflower seeds in water. They float and the mice think they can jump on them and they sink. Watch Boss of the Swamp. He makes a great bucket trap.
There is to much other stuff for them to eat that’s why the bucket is not working. Bucket traps do work really good. After you clean up and take food source away bucket will work better.
I have seen those bucket traps work well but you have some bold mice right here !! I think a pellet rifle would work well in this case also. I can not believe they are running around in the daylight !! Talk about easy pickens 😂
Bucket traps work great. Some advice. Mice run along walls. It appeared you had blocks on either side. Move it to a different location where there are none. Shorten the ramp way up. A couple dollops of peanut butter up the ramp will entice them. The ramp should lead to the rod that the can is on, not directly to the can. They will walk along the rod to the can and fall off. I've caught as many as 2 dozen in just under 12 hours. Good luck!
Put peanut butter on the BOARD. There is no incentive for them to climb the board. Dont give up on it. For the chicken tractor, use 3 or 4 small blocks of foam to provide a space for a finger or two.
I use a bucket trap like you do but I made a cantilever ramp about 2X6 (from a 2" Ven. blind) - had to adjust it with a small bolt at the entrance of the ramp by adding a couple of nuts until I got it to work. It has a short string so that it will reset. I put the peanut butter and a few peanuts at the end. When they walk out the blank - it tips and they go swimming. Now we have a cat = she is great - catches mice at night and brings them in and lets them go to play with them --- on the bed. Rebecca - you are luckier than my wife, you keep them in the barn.
One of the best things, well, TWO of the best things you can keep around the house: CamphoPhenique (douse bruises/burns, etc. with plenty, several times, the sooner, the better); and Decolored Iodine for all kinds of skin issues.
Sorry I meant corn meal and plaster of Paris. My father as a kid was in charge of mouse patrol as a kid on the farm, and told me that it worked. Love your volg
That’s funny ,you make a payday candy bar. Sorry you mashed your fingers Rebecca.i know that hurt really bad . I am waiting for Rebecca to show us the white chickens that look like they have a white hat on. They are so cute. Are they new ones ? I just saw them today. Looking forward to more videos. God bless
You can build a P V C mouse poison station that animals can not get in but the mice can . I had a bad mice and rat problem becouse the put chicken barns next door to our farm.You can see how to make them on line and they do work.reg old mouse traps work well as long as you stay on top of checking them.
I use that style mouse trap all the time it's tried and proven. I add some antifreeze to the water so it can be used year around. The antifreeze also helps preserve the mice for a while so they don't start stinking. Just keep animals away because they like that sweet smell the antifreeze gives off. Also add tape or zip ties to either side of the can so it doesn't slide one way or the other.
Good job Evan and Rebecca, sorry about your mishap hope it heals quickly. Good luck with ridding your mouse problem. Looks really good around there. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
Get a live trap. It is a small steel box. From TSC. Put dog food (dry) in it. Put the trap in a pail of water at the start of chores. Empty and reset at the end of chores. Get 4 or 5 of them. Cats will kill chickens ( chics)
My girlfriend had a mouse problem and I found these glue traps. Brought from grocery store n dollar stores have as well. 5 came per pack and you can lay flat or bend to form a little house like deal. Pre bent to keep shape. I just laid flat at the places I saw them running. And within 3 days had caught all of them. I just placed a little small piece of candy on them. Next more they were held fast to that sticky glue that's on them. Non toxic so want hurt livestock are pets. Good luck.
I have those sticky glue traps. You shouldn’t use around small pets . If they get caught up in them it is almost impossible to get them free without ripping their fur off. I use them to catch roaches. If I had a cat or a dog I would not bring them in my house.
@@csnanny1882 if you watched the video, its for the barn in the area where there are no animals. My cat n dog roamed the house freely n never touched them. For roaches you should have used the second syringe bait. Comes in screw of cap syringe that allows you to put anywhere pesky bugs hang out. That way no pets or humans come in contact with at all. Been using in my garage and applied 20 years ago. Haven't had to reapply yet.
Adopt a couple of Feral cats. Check in your area they are free. We adopted 2 for our farm, very rarely see them but they are there doing the mouse and snake catching.
They brought them with a cage and we kept them in their designated 'home' area in the cage for a couple of weeks, then we let them have free run in their designated 'home' area for a couple of more weeks. We put in a kitty door and leave some food and water in their designated home area. This seems to keep them coming back. As long as you offer food/water they should consider that their 'home' area. The people you adopt from should tell you more tips.
Mice don't bother me so much but if I see a flying huge roach (this is Florida) I lose my sh** lol!! 😂 Our cats are excellent mousers. They keep mice and rats out of the barn and chicken coops. Our Key West rescue hens are great for bug patrol and they will get mice and small snakes if they see them. I just love your puppies 😍
I live in Central NY State. When I was a teenager, I kept a pet rabbit in our yard in a similar cage. I moved it around so that it could feed daily. One morning, I found the cage destroyed and all that was left of my rabbit was its fluffy tail ! We think it was a bear. We never heard a sound in the house that night.
My hubby says fill several large glass bowls half full and they will go to it for water but put it close to where you are the most like by there best lol good luck sorry for Rebecca
Too much easy food for mice in the barn ...no acrobatics needed. If you get cats..don’t play with them too much. Congratulations to the winners! I’m jealous.
We use cats for mice control. We will usually rescue feral cats or others that people dont want and have them fixed. Then we keep them locked up the garage for several weeks and feed them and socialize with them to get them used to realizing that this is home. Then we let them out and they'll stay close by to the farm and follow us around....and also totally decimate the mice population, chipmunks, squirrels, and any other rodent pests.
The mouse/bucket needs just a little peanut butter along the ramp. Just drag a knife of it along the board, no need to clump it. Then the mice will sniff their way up to the source. ... It was entertaining to watch the mice in the background sneaking in and out of the shots and just wondering when Rebekah would notice one. lol ... Another option, get a BB gun, pull up a chair, and take shots as they sneak about (when the stock aren't in the barn of course). Make sure you use your best Elmer Fudd voice as you hunt them. haha
You don't need a compost bin. You want to build a compost pile. Build your pile in an open area and about once a week roll it over and mix it a little bit with you tractor. Make sure to turn the pile completely over. I love compost.
Maybe you should try to smear just a bit of peanut butter, not much, but enough to give them a scent to lead them up the ramp to the “gold mine” of more peanut butter and peanuts on the can. Maybe they can smell it, but can’t find it. So “lead” them by smearing a thin layer of peanut butter up the ramp ?!?!
I don't know how you feel about using bait stations. I use tomcat bait, the green stuff. I find it at Fleet Farm, Bomgaars, Menards and so on. You put the stations along the walls in the barn and basement and so on. I comes in little blocks that you can shake into the stations or the Tom Cat stations have little spikes you put the bait on. They eat the bait, go drink water and bleed out internally. Usually go back to their nests. It is an appetite suppressant, they eat it once and then go off and die. Other than the bait you don't have to touch them.

Congratulations Ladies!!!!
smaller diameter can with centered holes so it spins more freely
Boss of the swamp uses the bucket method under his cabin and it works great for him
I agree Shawn Woods he knows how to catch mice
I like that mouse trap idea gotta try it in my shed
Hi...... Thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
Put small boards up to the bucket

peppermint oil on cotton balls will get rid of them put it all over the barn corners under boards ,we had some and they hate pepermint

You have to also bait the board with peanut butter and leading up to their like smear some on there and then they work their way up to it

The bucket trap will work with a smaller board and little dots of peanut butter on the board
Put trap closer to the wall so mice run round room ramp them to the bucket. Need to think on their level.
The mice will not go up an open surface normally, but if you have a covered tube going up to the bucket you should catch a lot more as the mice will not think they are out in the opren. either use a piece of black plastic pipie with a tee against the wall, the tee should sit right in their runway, they will explore.

Try putting peanuts along the board going to the bucket.
You need to put some peanut butter on the ramp to lead the mice up. You can also use some sunflower seeds.
Good sticky traps under a box along the wall. They also catch snakes and insects.
How about just using a brace pole to hold back the lid? One idea I have would be to use a length of dowel and drill holes in the rim and one in the lid for the post could fit in. Just an idea. Art in Calif
I thought your trap was work much better. I figured you’d have a bucket full after a few days. Looks like it’s on to natures mouse trap, good ol cats.
Put all feed up at night unless you get rodent proof feeders that are expensive. Hardware cloth enclose all stored feed. Adopt some barn cats. I adopted from the city, they were free, fixed and vaccinated. Had to keep them in a big cage for 2 weeks so they would stay. Worked great.
Make the top smaller just the wire!
Smear. a bit of peanut butter on the ramp to lure the mice to the can

Snap traps is your answer ... those clean kill ones on amazon.... well baited and in all their running paths
Love the videos

Mix corn grain
mixed with plaster of paris. They eat and go get a drink and stomach locks up.

when i use sticky traps i use pecan pieces to lure mice try a couple pieces it can't hurt always great videos
get a piece of wood to help prop up the chicken tractor top.
They're called miles pads you put peanut butter on it they run up on it and they stick to it and they can't get off
Like that mouse trap.
try adding grain to the peanut butter
Good video

"Instead of catching just one mice, you can catch several mouse at a time." LOL
You need to ad a little ramp up to the top of the bucket this will increase its success
I use a bucket trap like you do but I made a cantilever ramp about 2X6 (from a 2" Ven. blind) - had to adjust it with a small bolt at the entrance of the ramp by adding a couple of nuts until I got it to work.

Try putting some peanut butter on the wood and moving the wood away from the wall a little bit, they are going under it not on it
One of the best things, well, TWO of the best things you can keep around the house: CamphoPhenique (douse bruises/burns, etc. with plenty, several times, the sooner, the better); and Decolored Iodine for all kinds of skin issues.
Try chocolate, like frosting, In place of the peanut butter. Mice love chocolate.
I think a barn cat is your answer.😘
Sticky traps work
Sorry I meant corn meal and plaster of Paris. My father as a kid was in charge of mouse patrol as a kid on the farm, and told me that it worked.
Love your volg
Put a little peanut butter in a trail up the plank

If you poison mice then you may unintentionally poison a mouse predator, i.e. house cat, hawk, eagle.
DO You know peanut butter can kill your dogs, please look it up!
I can't believe you have a farm and no cats lol they're the only mouse traps we've ever used!

Two spayed female barn cats and a neutered tomcat
its on her left @2:16
You just need an stick to hold up the chicken coop
Good job Evan and Rebecca, sorry about your mishap hope it heals quickly. Good luck with ridding your mouse problem. Looks really good around there. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
Try the "Ratinator"
Try putting a 2x2 on a hinge on that chicken tractor top to brace it. Idk just thinking.
Thanks Evan and Rebekah!
Dogs love peanut butter but sometimes our dogs had to use their tongues more to clear the roof of their mouth.

Look closely! Did you see the little mouse?
Yeah I have to agree a cat or two is the way to go mice won't hang around long once they know a cat or two is in the barn
The mice are not camera shy!

Need a barn cat
Try the A24 Goodnature CO2 one... There are you tube videos on it... Works great
Just add bird seed in the bucket of water.it works for me in the north east maine. Good luck. Looks like they wanted to be on camera too. Lol
For the mice it was a suicide trap. It works and I watched Boss of the Swamp and he caught lots of them.
turn the can 90 degrees so they shimmy out the rod and get flung off. Or look at other designs that have a trap door.
I live in Central NY State. When I was a teenager, I kept a pet rabbit in our yard in a similar cage. I moved it around so that it could feed daily. One morning, I found the cage destroyed and all that was left of my rabbit was its fluffy tail ! We think it was a bear. We never heard a sound in the house that night.
The only long term solution would be barn cats. Pretty much an necessity when there is grain. Your trap doesn’t work because the mice are not hungry 😋
I agree with Kevin, two or three good barn cats would work wonders! Also my Idaho Pasture pigs won’t let a mouse go untasted lol
Congratulations to all the winners!
My hubby says fill several large glass bowls half full and they will go to it for water but put it close to where you are the most like by there best lol good luck sorry for Rebecca
I love Rebekahs pet goat
You need to get a Guinea. They are great mice killers. I saw mine kill a mouse with one very quick Peck! Art in Calif

Yep...Get a barn cat.
with all the wired-in areas. cats cant go from room to room to catch them
The mouse/bucket needs just a little peanut butter along the ramp. Just drag a knife of it along the board, no need to clump it. Then the mice will sniff their way up to the source. ... It was entertaining to watch the mice in the background sneaking in and out of the shots and just wondering when Rebekah would notice one. lol ...

You don't need a compost bin. You want to build a compost pile. Build your pile in an open area and about once a week roll it over and mix it a little bit with you tractor. Make sure to turn the pile completely over. I love compost.
Maybe you should try to smear just a bit of peanut butter, not much, but enough to give them a scent to lead them up the ramp to the “gold mine” of more peanut butter and peanuts on the can.

I don't know how you feel about using bait stations. I use tomcat bait, the green stuff. I find it at Fleet Farm, Bomgaars, Menards and so on. You put the stations along the walls in the barn and basement and so on. I comes in little blocks that you can shake into the stations or the Tom Cat stations have little spikes you put the bait on. They eat the bait, go drink water and bleed out internally. Usually go back to their nests. It is an appetite suppressant, they eat it once and then go off and die. Other than the bait you don't have to touch them.
my grandpa said feed a cat half of what it needs and it will make it a better mouser!!
I'm with Rebekah! 😬 Mice & snakes are just bad.
