I can't believe I'm even saying this about a mouse but it was cute how quick they jumped in his hand, he's good to them!
I tried one of these at my house. The mouse was too cautious of the rotating cylinder. I bought a plank style trap and ended up catching all 3 mice in my garage. Wasn't perfect either, required some tuning.. camera helps a lot!
This is what i use. I uses 2 12 oz cans and a 5 gallon bucket. Peanut butter bait.
Been following for a long time, watching these is just awesome. Makes me feel good that you feed the local wildlife. They have a hard life too.

Wow! watching them communicate with each other is crazy and amazing. This is a great tip!
My dad taught me how to make one of these back in '83 when I spent a summer with him in Winnemucca Nevada. We were up in the himbolt mountains where he worked for a mining company.
Seen this idea a few years ago from the Boss Of The Swamp channel. He added water and sunflower seeds. The seeds floated so the mice didn't see the water below. Worked great for him.
Great idea we have plenty of field mice. I liked how 1 mouse pushed the other one in. Definitely trying this.
I always look forward to your uploads. Thank you for posting, your voice is very soothing.
STM - Shaun Trapped Mice “Finger licking good” - skunk
Our mice jump to the counter tops,we must have the froggy mice.
... your audience comments are so entertaining I really enjoy both the video the comments and your presentations constantly thank you!!!!
Skunk version of an "8pc bucket".
That Skunk really loved those mice. It just kept coming back for more.
Thank you for the video. I've tried sticky traps, snap traps, live capture traps and this bucket trap was exactly what I needed. Easy to make, placed one in the attic, cellar and RV. All of them worked very efficiently.
This trap works. I tested it myself before but if there are foxes or other larger animals around then they will lick off the peanut butter. We found an even easier and more effective method. Just smear some peanut butter on the inside of a bucket and then fill the bucket with enough water so mice and rats cant touch the bottom. Then put another bucket upside down next to the trap bucket and put a little ramp on it. All mice and rats will jump in the trap bucket and drown if the distance between the buckets is not too far or close.1-2 inches works well. We killed all the rats on our property this way....they all drowned in the bucket and they deserved it because they killed our Quails.

My husband just found 3 mice in a jug of water he used last summer & never capped. It reminded me of these DIY bucket traps. Now i wanna set them up in my barns & garage!
Fun fact mice will send out the dumbest youngest mouse to go test the food...long story short they know what poison is and are more intelligent than what we like to believe.
Although it was a bit unsatisfying, I loved the footage of the rat mom rescuing her babies. ❤️ An alternative to adding water might be using a higher bucket?
Interesting video, well explained and filmed. I loved the mother rat rescuing the kids too.
Mice: we ain’t playing your games no mo Shawn.
I suggest the peanut butter is put on not using a finger. You don't want the scent of a human on the trap.
Loving the mouse trap content!!
Exceptional idea especially for those of us who can't afford critter traps!!!
keep making those great videos! keep the wholesome attitude up!
Great channel, thanks. The local animals must wonder where all these free mice come from.
It always the skunk that gets the mice! I miss the days when birds of prey would take them.

We live next to a dumpster and not too far from fields. I have been using snap traps but every time we get one it jolts me awake lol. I may have to try this!

I get mice in the surround around my large bath tub. My most successful trap ia a live catch rectangular metal one with a clear window in the top which opens as a door. I have caught 3 mice together at once.. I then dispose of them in a bucket of warm water. Make sure the water covers the entire trap. Seems the most humane to me. ( I use to use the plastic kill traps that weren't killing them right away. I could hear them dragging the trap that they were caught in. Seemed inhumane to me.) I empty the trap in my back yard & the dead mice disappear during the night.
