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.

Awesome trap demo Malc. Love the trigger... very sensitive.
Bet that would work well catching squirrels and rabbits to.
Thanks,
Andy
cheers andy
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

Fantastic trap Malc, fairly straight forward. Great vid as always 🐻👍
cheers mate , glad you liked it
Muito bom! Excelente gatilho.
Awesome. Will make this straight after exams!
cheers mate glad you liked it
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
Effective trigger system Malc
Thanks for sharing 👌👍🇬🇧
Cheers Tony !
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
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
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!!!
good rabbit box also .... you did a good job with the trigger sir
Thank you dan
Interesting. Thanks for showing.
cheers mate
Brilliant,been trying all morning.I,'ll give it a go.
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.
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
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
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
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
Im going to make one of those, i got a nuisance rat digging holes in my Allotment! Cheers! Excellent video👍
Good luck mate
bro, as soon as i saw you screw all those screws in by hand i subscribed. good show!
Cheers . Glad you liked it mate
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.
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?
Interesting and entertaining to watch good work
thanks , much appreciated
great idea, I might have to try one of these
Cheers mate . It's definitely worth a go, quite simple to make really. thanks

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
looks better than some pro commercial versions i've bought
cheers mate, much appreciated
Hi i just want to say i made the trap and caught 11 freaking rat... Thanks man
brilliant ,cheers

Great skills 👍
cheers mate
Good one man, I’ll try that.
I will give that a go thanks
Top design!!
thank you

Very good design
Muito boa está armadilha.
I made it, thank you for the ideas
cheers mate

Very nice information thank you
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
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
Use magnet on the bottom of the trap door to keep it lock after it shut .
Buena trampa, te felicito 👍
Decent mate ,nice trigger.
cheers mikey ! hows you mate ?
Very good
Try spring instead of rubber band it works great!!!
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
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.
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
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 .
Nice one 👍
cheers mate
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 Malc
Amazing 💡💡💡idea. Thanks for sharing this video..
Will love to try something like this...
Please do keep posting new🆕 ideas..
Warm regards and Best wishes
The UnknownManCub 👍😎👨🏭
Thank you Daniel. Glad you liked it mate.
Nice job, ... 👍👍👍
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
Does it work on 'squerls'?
Works well on your finger when carrying the primed box to the location 😀
Good Stuff!!! - 👍
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.

Good idea
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
Nicely done
thank you mate
Nicely done👍
Thank you! Cheers!
احسنت عملا يا رجل 🌺
Another way, without using springs nor rubber bands is use magnets! Strong magnets on the swinging door and the box itself, so when it closes... it stays closed. Clearly a rat cant open a magnetized door right?
Muito bom
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
Waaoo mantap,,good👍👍
thanks
What keeps a fox or dog from opening it and getting your rabbit?
Nice one ☝️👌🇬🇧
thanks antonino
JJR SURVIVAL laters mate thanks 👌👍🇬🇧
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
Hi you are very clever you can put sping on the sides once the door shuts the mouse can't come out
Perfekt جالب ،👍🙏
In India the rat will bite the rubber band before entering the trap!
clever rats !
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
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.
External trigger linkage makes the trap vulnerable to external trigger trips resulting in a no catch.
Good observation, just needs a little external shielding.
You should send this trap to Sean woods for rat trap Monday's
cheers mate
It's a good idea, but when the rat wants to go out, it eat the wood. ( sorry for my english)
Great trigger, but need a locking mechanism on door when closed
I have a lock in the door now
If you prefer catch and release just omit the rubber bands.
Same result
haha yeah
Did you manage to make a video you got one
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.
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
😊😊😅😊 0:19
What kind of bait? Thank you
Peanut butter , chocolate , fruit . Rats will eat most things
@@JJRSURVIVAL thank you.
Nice video
thank you mate
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....
Mantab bang
Cheers
Não entendo seu idioma mais entendo a mecânica eu colocaria um eixo no gatilho furaria as laterais e colocaria um eixo.
obrigado
Good
Egyszerű és találékony. Nincs túl bonyolitva. Egyszóval remek találmány.
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
Gostei
Cheers
I don't have the patience to hand screw that many screws into wood.
yes a cordless drill would be better
Hello from France.
I built a rat trap using your video. I caught the rat and now he's running into the forest. You can see two videos with your trap on my youtube channel. Thank you
Excellent! nice one Terry, I, ll check them out
Nice trap rat.
cheers mate
Why don't you use the electric screwdriver?
It Ran out of battery .
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
