To add, maybe an orange tip on the stick to indicate a trigger trip. I'm un Wisconsin, and we fish through the ice with "tip-up" rigs. They have a little orange flag on the tip when a fish tugs on the string. Also, a simple lock will keep the door closed. Screen door kind is smaller.

Good evening from Belgium,
making a rat trap following your tutorial, 2 rats were caught less than 2 hours after placing it near my henhouse.
I just have to rework the trigger but already efficient. I also have replaced the elastics with an ajustable spring to prevent other rats from gnawing. I have a picture of it but I can't share it here
Thanks for your video
nice one my friend , glad it worked good for you , i have done some more modifications to the trap myself i have now put metal springs on it and made a latch to lock the door, it is on my channel somewhere, thanks again

Awesome trap demo Malc. Love the trigger... very sensitive.
Bet that would work well catching squirrels and rabbits to.
Thanks,
Andy
cheers andy
Fantastic trap Malc, fairly straight forward. Great vid as always 🐻👍
cheers mate , glad you liked it
got my first live trap this morning witht the ready made traps took it out to the field and let the terrier dispatch it. is that a good idea been told because of what they carry might harm my terrier? am i bettef just to shoot it or dunk it etc? ps doing the trap mod you did pushing the trip back to the back and removing the rear door did you use a tent for the top bar?
If I can remember right it was a nail
We've been trying to catch a rat for over 8mos. I've tried all sorts of friendly traps. He's either escaped or ignored them. I found your video, we made the trap and caught him within a few hours after putting in place. Thank you so much for your video!!!
come to Arizona , Ive caught 100 rats and mice in the last two months here in the desert , now the traps are left alone , using old style victor traps and i guess they are new , Koro Rodent trap ..... Koro needs to do some tweeking with the design but damn its a thumb breaker with powerful springs , the kill bar sometimes just hits them in the head and kills them without really trapping it .... check it out if you get the chance , maybe you could improve it with your skills
Nice one cheers mate
Muito bom! Excelente gatilho.
Awesome. Will make this straight after exams!
cheers mate glad you liked it
I like the design. Simple effective... going to try my own.
thanks
Great video malc either your getting faster or my eyes are playing tricks lol
hahahaha cheers william
good rabbit box also .... you did a good job with the trigger sir
Thank you dan
I am from Britain have just finished a large compost heap and now have some rats. Two bought traps nothing, I have just made one of your traps out of pallets. 35mins cought one and an hour or so then two together. Many thanks
bro, as soon as i saw you screw all those screws in by hand i subscribed. good show!
Cheers . Glad you liked it mate
I happen to have a couple of different traps set up at the moment, but so far no captures yet. I like your method so I will go ahead and copy yours. Thanks.
Good luck mate
Effective trigger system Malc
Thanks for sharing 👌👍🇬🇧
Cheers Tony !
Awesome trap! Ive now made two of them. I caught and relocated 8 squirrels two years ago eating my mangoes and recently caught a juvenile possum(originally thought a rat) in my garage that came in thru an old laundry vent
well done mate, seen people use these for rabbits but iv never been able to bait rabbits before its hard
BUSHCRAPPING we used to catch rabbits in cage traps by baiting with apples cut up and cover the whole thing in fresh apple tree branches . The rabbit liked chewing the branches and then went in the trap for the apple
Interesting. Thanks for showing.
cheers mate
Interesting and entertaining to watch good work
thanks , much appreciated
Great skills 👍
cheers mate
You could put small magnets on the trap and corresponding screw heads on the door, when it shuts it’ll be solid, this will be extra to stop it pushing it’s way out.
Well, I got here late, but after 3 years you're still helping people so I stopped in to tell you thank you.
Cheers mate
Would the trigger be pushed more than pulled by rat or mouse? Could have it trigger from side. Trigger is easy to move.
yes you could do that
Muito boa está armadilha.
Very nice information thank you
This is great. I made it and caught a pesky squirrel that had been eating up my mangoes. The Squirrel was later released in a park where people love feeding them. **No animals harmed in this operation***
Update: on 8-11-20, I caught two more in the trap. I used bread with peanut butter on it and squeeze the bread around the trigger. He too got released about 4 miles from my home in a nature park
Nice one. glad it worked for you mate. Cheers
Suas mangas, ou da natureza?
Buena trampa, te felicito 👍
Brilliant,been trying all morning.I,'ll give it a go.
Design looks sound to me, although, a big Norway rat might overcome the rubber band closure system.
cheers mate , i may try to put a lock/catch of some sort on it when i can .
Decent mate ,nice trigger.
cheers mikey ! hows you mate ?
Great video and trap. Gonna make a few for chicken pens cheers. The Mesh is a great idea for shooting the rats
cheers mate ,good luck and glad you liked it
Hi i just want to say i made the trap and caught 11 freaking rat... Thanks man
brilliant ,cheers

Thank you Daniel. Glad you liked it mate.
Top design!!
thank you
Show essa foi bem bolada ótima mesmo
Cheers
Very good design
Hoàng xin chào bạn.Ý tưởng và kiến thức của bạn thật tuyệt.Cãm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ cho mọi người .Chúc bạn luôn vui khỏe & thành công.
Cảm ơn
Does it work on 'squerls'?
looks better than some pro commercial versions i've bought
cheers mate, much appreciated
Nice job, ... 👍👍👍
Try spring instead of rubber band it works great!!!
Make another door at the back it saves you having to put you arm in to bait it it can get messy in there.👍
good idea jamie , cheers
Gostei ele tá acabando com os canteiros da minha Horta oque eles comem oque usar como iscas nesta armadilha por favor
obrigado, use manteiga de amendoim
Nice one Malc
Put a flag on top or paint the end of the bar , you can see its activated from a long way .
great idea daz , cheers
he ran out of paint having done his hands.

Like the design but am concerned rubber bands are not secure from escape. If I were to build, I would use a latch that swings into place as door closes, a trip catch if you will.
just seen your rat trap film am going to make one tomorrow. looked at various traps on ebay for rats and people disappointed with them so will try your method to catch a few rats bugging me cheers phil
Nicely done👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Very good
Good idea
احسنت عملا يا رجل 🌺
What keeps a fox or dog from opening it and getting your rabbit?
Great idea! Could be stepped up in size for other critters. Just drop it in a bucket of water the kill what you catch. My boss thinks I should work that fast.
Nice one 👍
cheers mate
I will give that a go thanks
Nicely done
thank you mate
External trigger linkage makes the trap vulnerable to external trigger trips resulting in a no catch.
Good observation, just needs a little external shielding.
Muito bom
i like the idea , simple easy and works well , but pitty you dont show anything of the inside , when the trigger goes off .....with a platform the mouse steps on ?
the trigger inside is a peg with bait attached ,cheers
Waaoo mantap,,good👍👍
thanks
That is a rabbit trap and there is no need to use rubber bands the door can be made to slide down by gravity. I and my cousins up in Arkansas made this type of trap for rabbits when we were kids we learned to make them from our fathers that makes them a 100 years old and our fathers learned them from our grand fathers that makes them some were around 200 years old.
cheers mate
Works well on your finger when carrying the primed box to the location 😀
Needs some sort of latch to keep it closed. The rats around here have already proven they can force their way out of a Haveahart trap, those rubber bands wouldn't pose a problem for them. Although that's a simple enough modification.
You should send this trap to Sean woods for rat trap Monday's
cheers mate
Use magnet on the bottom of the trap door to keep it lock after it shut .
Have a go at making the Tilong bamboo rat trap John. I made one about six years back.
Will do mate , i got some bamboo here somewhere
Mantaaap, 👍👍👍
This trap is similar to the one we have in India.Very very effective . We caught rats in India regularly!!But there are 2 springs instead of 2 rubber bands. Hope this model is good too.
We have metal bait rod and not wooden rod.
thank you i have now put metal springs on it
good idea , better than a wooden bait rod
Tiny mice may escape through the wire netting! Closer wire netting is good.
Отличная идея!! 👍🏻👍🏻Буду делать, а то уже восьмого птенца стащила крыса и мышеловки не могут удерживать крысу
Спасибо
Hope you catch that rat and save your chicks
Hi you are very clever you can put sping on the sides once the door shuts the mouse can't come out
Great trigger, but need a locking mechanism on door when closed
I have a lock in the door now
Perfekt جالب ،👍🙏
Nice one ☝️👌🇬🇧
thanks antonino
JJR SURVIVAL laters mate thanks 👌👍🇬🇧
I've seen several designs like that but a rat can trigger the trap by crawling on top of it thus rendering it useless until reset.
What kind of bait? Thank you
Peanut butter , chocolate , fruit . Rats will eat most things
@@JJRSURVIVAL thank you.
shooting just make a mess , dunk whole trap in bucket of water , that will fix em
not legal to do that here but yes it would work
If you prefer catch and release just omit the rubber bands.
Same result
haha yeah
In India the rat will bite the rubber band before entering the trap!
clever rats !
should use springs rather than elastic bands they can push out & other rats can chew through them & allow for escape [8: 46 check... I should have watched whole video 1st!] nice simple trap
Also you can just set the thing in a tub of water & drown the rat
i agree mate , cheers
Nice trap: what are the dimensions of the trap?
I, ll. Measure it and let you know OK
@@JJRSURVIVAL Thanks! there is one thing I would add is a gravity little latch that would slip over a nail or something to prevent the door from opening from a push from a large rat....
Did you manage to make a video you got one
Why don't you use the electric screwdriver?
It Ran out of battery .
Nice video
thank you mate
The door needs a latch of some type to lock it in place. My guess is in a panic the rat would push against the door feel it move and soon push it open.
cheers mate , i just a made a latch for that trap on my latest video .
Mantab bang
Cheers
Nice trap rat.
cheers mate
Show 👍👏👏
thanks
Good
Gostei
Cheers
It's a good idea, but when the rat wants to go out, it eat the wood. ( sorry for my english)
I don't have the patience to hand screw that many screws into wood.
yes a cordless drill would be better
I think the rubbe bands are too weak, he rat will push the door and escape, I made myself all metal with a wicked spring, overkill, but that required a welder.
I wonder about that myself.
A strong magnet or some sort of catch latch might help.
you can use a power full magnetic catcher
@@deasttn Great Idea one of the whole earth magnets
i have since changed the bands for springs and added a latch to hold the door closed
get some screw driver bits for the drill.
I will do next time
Wow supper
Thank you
