Would this trap work for rats as well?
@@John-kv7jo I bought 2 of these bucket things off Amazon, it does work. I used sweet feed for my cow
Will this work for a rat, got one in kitchen, he's very smart cannot catch
man let me tell you.. i came home and unexpectedly saw a mouse in my room. upsetting bc i keep it clean. googled and saw this video, set up the trap, smoked a blunt outside for about 15 mins, came back in & the mouse was caught. big s/o to u bro
This post is blunt an to the point.
It doo be a good video
@@RickMcGuire-bl2vs I go watch video it be a good video
That Second mouse is like: But the food is over here, Shawn: Go this way
the mouse thought he hit Lotto!!
"I'm gonna take 'em far out in the wild..." Shawn gave them a little trip.
At the end it seems the mice even chasing the bucket
Little guy just wanted his food mountain!
Shawn Woods: So good at catching mice, he invents traps accidentally.
He don't even need a trap to get mice trapped
This isnt new, people have been using this style of trap for decades

Made me LOL
This kind of meme isn't used very often. Good one.
"Find out how he catches a ton of mice with this ONE SIMPLE TRICK" . Bowl of oil. . Lets see how many people remember.
It sounds like those hyperbolic ads you see browsing through some random sites.

I usually just play my flute and they follow me out of the house in a line -- but this works, too.
I love this XD
🤣
🤣🤣
Me too 😊
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is so easy to set up and use. I trapped 36 baby mice with the bucket trap. Four at a time even. Thanks, Shawn.
Mine jump out. 😢
@@soniavos8065If you put more grain inside they may not get good footing to jump.
@shinola228 turns out that the babies I was catching. The big ones jump out, and other get smart to the traps I set. I got a 1/3 measuring cup tied a string to the hole in the end. Baited ia bowl with a cracker tied to a bell on a string.Then teped it to the top of the bowl. The string on the measuring cup that held the bowl up slightly. Then I ran the string down the hall to where I slept. If I heard the bell I knew he was eating the bait, pulled the sting, and trapped him under the bowl. Evaded me for weeks. I went without a mouse in the house 1 week. Until next time. Thanks for your help.
you've seen electric traps, you've seen walk the plank traps, now finally we have ... a bucket, yep we've reached the absolute minimum
But have we really reached the minimum?
2021: Super effective mousetrap 23 mice in one night. Mousetrap made out of 100% air, no bait needed
Shawn is so powerful and respected by mice that he could put a sing that says: "Dear mice, please go into this bucket" and catch at least one.
KZhead: Demonetizes Shawn for showing mice jumping into a bucket.
Without a doubt! Any excuse will do!
he said "kill". uhoh.
Yep, just about ready to uninstall the KZhead app because of their BS

Been meaning to try this. It's been on my bucket list for a while.

Ha ha ha ... saw what you did there ...
Ha!
Ba-dum-tssssh! Had to read that twice, actually. 😂
LOL 😂
The mice really seem to not care about food when they realize they’re trapped, they show signs of panic and sometimes aggression. Pretty interesting.
He's shown similar traps in the past, though, where it caught a bunch of live mice in the same container. They didn't have any food in that container and they ate one of their smaller inmates before he got there in the morning.
@@tylerblock3377 YIKES! Cannibal Mice!
@@tylerblock3377 Or the rat who discovered his live trap bucket and would hop in, grab a mouse and hop out....
Never forget the legendary Fat N.Happy.
Well, yea... it is very understandable. Right? I mean they know when they made a huge mistake and can't treat back to their nest after the feast... lol...
3:03 Never seen before footage of shawn woods threatening mice to subscribe
LOL this man gets it
Hahahaha
Who would win: a mouse, or literally just a bucket
A bucket
A stick!
A bucket filled with water
well, to be fair it's not literally just a bucket. There's a ramp and bait.
Ion Ymous hahahah
Shawn: says Im not going to kill them insted of **humanely dispatching them** KZhead:** demonetization intensifies**
The vid didnt get demonitized ( if i spelled that right ._.)
when the mice are smart enough to know they can't be killed if they are native so they just go for it.
Used this hack in a hurry when there was a mouse in our house. We managed to trap it in one room. Set the bucket trap and it worked like a charm. Thanks Shawn.
How big was the bucket?
@@simonebaileycampbell2013 You need a bucket as big as his or something similar . Maybe a pickle bucket , painting bucket , construction bucket or even a cat litter bucket .
I have seen similar videos using a bucket. This is the easiest.
You only had one? I just caught one haven’t seen any more 🥵
@@michellenason5905 yee haw
Here the sunflower seeds prevent them from jumping out - we've seen mice jump out of a plain bucket. Nice live catch trick. I still like the oil the best, though.
The oil makes them easier to fry up later!
@@monkeygraborange TMI
Lmao stop spreading bullshit. He just gave them food.
Have yet to see mice escape a 5 gallon bucket
The sunflower seeds do double duty of further bait, and preventing the mice from cannibalizing one another
Smear peanut oil around the rim! Bait and trap improvement in one.
Diabolical !
Yeah I was thinking a similar thing maybe just above the layer of peanut butter so they are more likely to slip
Shawn accidentally created an insane mouse trap by just leaving it in his yard’ *legend*
L E G E N D ! ! ! !
Great video (as always) Shawn Woods I have a question for you about catching mice and rats. Over all what mousetrap worked the best for you and how affective was it?
Shawn is so well known among the mice community, the mice just show up and jump in his bucket. Nice video! Thanks.
I.cault a oppusm using a bucket
😆Lol
Now that is minimalist mousing at it's best, nice job Shawn!
Worked like a charm! I did this, and the oil bowl technique you shared. The 1st time I tried... I caught 3 mice! I'll try again in a few weeks to make sure we don't have anymore hanging out in our garage. Thanks so much!
Thanks Shawn! I really enjoy your videos and put them to the test in my barn!
You need the sunflower seeds. They create a soft ground. In this way they absorb the impulse of the jump. It's like jumping in beachvolleyball. This way the mouse can't jump out of the buket.
The Zen minimalist mousetrap ... and no creatures were harmed in the making of this video.
Love your comment!
Shawn, several years ago I had a cookout and had a 6 gallon bucket with water in case of fire as we were in a terrible drought. After the cooking was finished and the fire was out, I doused the areas around the grill and stuck the bucket inside a shed. Someone had thrown a chicken leg bone in the gallon of water left in the bucket. I came out to do some yard work the next morning and was going to dump the water as it was next to my work bench. There was a huge dead rat in it. Apparently he had tried to get to it off the workbench and fell in but couldn’t get out. This video brought back a good memory for me. Take care and Friday and today Your counter showed I was #421 on the Like counter. Have a great week and check You Friday 🤠
the fact you’re able to be near them.. and put your hand in the bucket with them in it and be calm when they run out the bucket… my whole body got chills
I wouldn't stay in the house with a rodent, let alone the same room. Nasty
3:19 "On second thought, I'll just stay here..."
Why not? The weather's good and it looks like I won't need to call Uber Eats today.
Go this way !
3:29 hey! Thats mine.
Those dislikes are probably the mice that fell into the trap
Do you even have a brain mice don't any devices in order to dislike plus you as you the people with no brain doesn't not nows they don't even realize they would be clicking dislike next time use your barin. In case anyone was wondering yes this is a joke.
@@squid.3044 it's just a joke dude jeez😒
Average Nerd calm down. I hope you are joking
Average nerd was joking too lol apparently
@@unknownyoutuber466 lol he said it was a joke
I am still mesmerized by the his tone and techniques every time!
Thank you so much. Literally set this up and 2.5 hours later, we got our man. I didn't have seeds so only used the peanut butter. It totally worked.
Whats the purpose of the seed?
Olive oil?
@@muyy1 I guess it's less easy for them to jump with the seeds 🤔
@@muyy1maybe to give them a softer landing and something to eat since they must have been hungry

Caught the mouse in our house in 10 minutes!!!! Thank you!!!
I love this one!! I'm trying it right now as I don't have many materials to make any of your other traps. But I do have a wooden ramp and a bucket, and of course peanut butter. Thanks!!!
Love the videos. I have a compost bin and a garden in my backyard so I have mice and rats. I’ve tried all sorts of traps, lately I’ve been able to catch a few by cornering them and using blunt or sharp objects near by. It’s more work but gets job done. I’m going to try the peanut butter 3” down on a bucket of water (no native mice around my parts)
Decide to start eating them. They're easy to cook and very nutritious. Then, you won't have the waste after you're done.
@@PoeLemic I've got plenty of squirrel around but if times get hard enough I will do what i need to in order to survive
How deep does a bin need to be so they can't jump out? I once found a mouse "nest" and put the mice in a small garbage bin (about 50cm deep) - they all jumped out. Or does there need to be something in the bottom to absorb the energy when they try to jump?
I used *lucky charms* instead of seeds, worked like a champ!! Thanks so much Shawn!! Appreciated in Mi.
Works Like a charm 🍀
3:49 did you catch any leprechauns though? 🍀
great video thanks shawn!!! more garden and nature videos please!!
I am now putting this to the test in my home. I got three 5 gal buckets with water in them. Will see how they do in practice. I have a well sized colony in my home by now so if they work at all, they will work well. I added canola il on the rim to make it easier for the mice to slip in as well.
how did it go for you?
Do you think it might work with a 7 gallon bucket like the buckets used in sports? The 7 gallon bucket has much higher sides that might prevent the rats from jumping out.
It WORKED!!!! Thank you so much! You have no idea! My cat brought a mouse in my house and the bucket worked! Happy New Year!
What's a good bucket size for this? And how/where to get a ramp?
Deer mouse: "ur not gunna leave the seeds? ? ? :( well keep me..."
That last one had a hard time choosing between freedom, or a lifetime supply of food.
Hi, Shawn. Thanks for all the great videos. How tall is that bucket?
I would like to know 2
Me too want to know please
Hey Shawn been a subscriber for while and I have a video suggestion, You should make a video on all the different mouse traps you have.
Super complicated electronic mouse trap mechanisms? Nah, literally just a bucket.
Absolutely, but it’s still fun screwing around with traps. The mice kind of traps that is.
you seen the oil bowl trap? complex traps have their benefits but it's hard to beat functional simplicity
ive always thought about this. If you just put a lightly suspended platform in the middle, they'll think its solid ground and jump on their own... I guess you dont even need that!
@@pvic6959 I have mice and no mouse traps so what should I do
@@iconikthekid8166 no idea. im no expert. though i guess youre on the best channel for that
This is just what I need, and it works well, Thanks Shawn!
How big does the bucket need to be so they can’t jump out
This actually worked!!! 🙌🏼 I woke up in the middle of the night to hear something running under my bed and to my horror saw a small grey mouse running out of my bedroom. For the last few weeks, we’ve pulled up the carpets, plugged any potential mouse holes and used this bucket trick, as wanted an alternative to mouse traps. We placed the bucket in the warmest room in the house (laundry/boiler room) and just left it and to be honest, completely forgot about it 😂 You need a lot of patience as this was not an overnight operation but took 2-3 weeks until we caught a mouse. Would recommend to anyone looking for a laid back approach to catching mice.
Caught another one 😂
@@KEG-keg lmao😁😁good deal
In my youth, a hangover usually involved a bucket. Great video as always, keep ém coming!
Thank you for supporting such a humane trap! Either catch and release or instant kill are the only way to go. Drowning, sticky pads, etc are so horrific.
Well he told ppl exactly how to turn this into a drowning trap lol sooooooo
Shawn: "you're free..." Mouse: "what's that? The foods free? Neat!"
Thank you for not killing them...I'm currently trying to catch one hiding under my lavender plant tray....I am going to do the same. Catch and release, always. 🙌
shawn i love your videos so much tysm shawn
Shawn: “you’re free” Last Mouse: “Looks out” naa.... I think I’ll just hang In here and eat seeds Shawn: *go this way*
Great idea! I am not friends with these little guys, and the fact that you are so humane to let them go is just better. If I hadn't seen this, I would have doused the bucket with water. You are a good man.
We ended up with mice due to renovations taking place in the flats above us. Nothing worked apart from this, great method, thanks Shawn!
Of all your videos what would you say was the most effective on chipmunks? I have a box trap that works well but thats only 1 at a time.
The second mouse was trying to take it to go plate 😂😩
Lol
I tried this idea. Came home and found the bucket full of mouse droppings, the peanut butter gone, and no sign of the mouse! I have tried every trick in the book. I am basically putting on a free mouse buffet. My life is a Tom and Jerry cartoon at this point, spending all my spare time plotting against my arch nemesis, the mouse.
The bucket probably wasn’t tall enough. Add water, you can’t really jump while standing in water. Or, if you don’t want to drown them, put oil in the bottom, just enough to completely cover the bottom. Their feet will be so slick they can’t hold onto the rim.
I mentioned this idea to you in a comment in one of your videos about a year ago, I knew it would work.
Do the non native mice in your area jump higher? I was thinking that in a previous video there was an issue with mice jumping out.
Sell this for 2x the price of a bucket
Bruh you are one big brain man
@@meep1433 ez cash
@@Jesus_Christ_loves_you_alot yes indeed
What is the minimum height of the bucket so they dont jump out?
Worked like a charm!!! Thanks Shawn.
I believe this could be improved by adding cooking oil in a ring just below the top. I notice they like to lean into the bucket by putting their front feet against the inside wall.
When I was in college our barracks were infested with mice. We used to put peanut butter at the bottom of our metal trashcans and catch mice.
50 years ago, in 'A' school at Great Lakes, they still had some of us living in old WW2 "H" barracks. we did the same for cockroaches. one legendary Jurassic roach was pinned to the bulletin board on top of a dollar bill. No BS: it was larger than the bill. people would come from all over the base to see it.
Did you; humanely dispatch them and feed them to local wildlife?
15 minutes.... thats all it took to catch 2 mice in my basement. Thank you for this lifesaving, effective and EASY mouse trap!!!!
Just what I was looking for!! Thanks so much!!
I would oil the edges to make it more slippery. BTW - you should isolate the food-bait from the mice to catch more because of the smell.
Next: Gonna catch mice by just looking at them Coming soon: Gonna catch mice by command
I didn't even have a ramp or food and I found 3 mice running around in the rubbish in my shed bin.
Excellent stuff. Like your no nonsense presentation, too!
love this video! reminds me of the peanut oil trap in the simplicity of it.
If you run out of mouse traps Shaun ,you could read audible books ...your voice is so kind and soothing
Do you have recommendations for ramps for any of these bucket style traps?
yard stick cut down, add hook on end
What do you mean?? A hook on the end??
Good idea I'll definitely have to give this a try, my trailer has been getting infected with mice and rats for months now and I've been wasting my money with glue traps forever
Would adding water be as attractive to mice since you are covering the seeds with water as well?
Next thing you know, Some company in China is going to try to get a patent on buckets.
I'd laugh if I heard you joke one of these days and say "so we're gonna take these over to my neighbors yard and let them go". :)
volvo09 funniest comment on this video! 😂
My 1st thought was exs house 😆
Shawn, does it have to be a clear bucket?
I have been using just a bucket like this for the last couple of years now. About 70 mice in my shed this summer so far. They come for the water since it is dry out here in West Texas. Cute little critters but so nasty and destructive.
The way he point at the mouse as he talks about subbing, makes me think he's telling the mice to subscribe. That image is so funny to me
Tbh, I wouldn't put it past him at this point 😂😂😂
I am not sure humanely dispatching half of your subscribers will be a good strategy.
Shawn ---- how deep must the bucket be so they don't jump out? Thanks
👀
I caught one tonight with this trick. Setting it free in a bit. I didn't think it would work. I didn't even have a ramp, he probably jumped straight into it from the shelf where we heard it walking often lately. Thanks!
I just love this idea thank you for sharing it I'm going to try it!!😊
Did it workk
Wow. This is as easy as the oil in the bowl trap too.
Shawn single-handedly tanks the entire mousetrap market...
Thank you so much for posting this. This is so humane and looks super easy. How did you transport them in your truck? I was thinking about placing them in the front seat with a seat belt around them 🤷♀️ i dont want them getting out in my car! 😖
Bravo Shawn you make so simple and easy keep it up great invention and video😊
You could combine this with the peanut oil trap so the larger mice can’t jump out
How do u do this?
Yes how?
I saw a mouse in my apartment last night and tried this trick. And it worked! Thank you, Shawn!
Omg i just saw one in mine im sick 😬do you mind if I ask wht size bucket your used?
@@ASHLEY143MUHA The 5 gallon bucket. Goodluck!
I also discovered this by accident. I have tall metal bucket where I store mice from my live catch mouse trap. One day I left it for night with 3 mice and some rice and wheat in it, next day there were five mice. Two just jumped in from small table that was close to bucket.
I’m going to try this! Also, I think I’ll add a little oil just below so that if they reach down, they slip
Hey Shawn I don't mean to alarm you but I think you might have a mouse problem. Hope this helps!
Shawn, based on your video's. I took a 5 gallon Lowe's bucket and filled it up with 5" of water. Took a piece of styrofoam and glued 2 washers to one side and a dab of jiffy on other side and let it float. Ramp and 4 mice tried to jump aboard for peanut butter but had to swim. Only one was still alive in morning. Best clinger. Am now rewatching your videos to find out how to identify native species. For Ohio.
Shawn must have had a touch weekend, going back to basics 😂
