This trap is an excellent design and works fantastically well. The farmer next to us ploughed his field last week and made good knows how many mice homeless, well not for long as loads have made their home in our house. With the help of one of these traps we've caught 8 of the little critters in the last 3 days. Thank you very much for posting this.

Thank you sooo much, I went away for a month and came home to a new house mate. Mouse droppings sprinkled everywhere, I had every intention of poisoning the little creep, but when I was trying to set the bait station I got an image of the little shit suffering. I started to cry, I couldn't do it. I thought maybe it is a little mommie. Life is cruel but you've helped to make it less cruel, thank you so much.❣💗🤸‍♀️

I made this and it worked the first day!! Letting it go in the woods was the best feeling Ever!! I found the hole behind the water heater and patched it. Since then, whenever I hear chewing in the walls, I put 2-3 drops of peppermint essential oil on the top part of a cotten ball, and place it next to the baseboard, near the sound, with the essential oil part of cotten ball facing up, so it doesn't stain the floor. The peppermint needs to be refreshed periodically because the smell fades. Over the course of 2 years, all 3 times that I have done this, the chewing sounds stopped immediately. Another You Tuber demonstrated a real mouse entering a Store Bought plastic catch and release cage and when the mouse entered the cage trap, the cage door slammed behind him and slammed down on his tail. Even though it was a plastic door, it still hurt. The poor mouse quick grabbed his tail and started licking it because it hurt, so please make THIS humane trap here with the bottle and don't buy the one I mentioned from the store. As you can see from the beginning of the video, this one dosen't hurt their tail. Thank you ! Thank you so much for inventing this humane catch and release trap and for sharing it on You Tube!!

Works a treat, caught 5 in the first week! We had one escape artist that managed to claw the bottle up far enough to get out, so we have taped a small magnet to the underside of the bottle which holds to a screw when the bottle first tips up.

I have a half drunk bottle of ginger ale and a lot of scrap wood to work with, thank you for this genius model!

This is truly humane. I think because it is do quiet and subtle, they stay calm... unlike other 'humane' traps that create a clamor when they close. Awesome idea. Thanks for sharing.

Mine didn't turn out as good looking, but it worked the first evening we tried it. Thanks for the idea and detailed construction plans. Now resetting it to get the rest of Mouse's extended family!

Took very little time for my husband to build. Within about 10 seconds of putting the trap on the floor in the room our friend had claimed for himself, the little guy was there sniffing around for some snacks. 30 seconds later and he was trapped. I noted like some others that he didn't seem to want to exit the bottle when allowed, so I just gave it a little shake and he popped out. Happy to be able to use a trap that is humane and reusable! Thank you for this great video!

Genius. The bendy wire design that lets you tweak everything until it's just right is spot on. There a couple of extra things worth knowing. Firstly you need to release your mouse a long way from your house - 2 miles or 3 km. Secondly you need to be quite patient when you do so - your mouse may be in no hurry to leave its new home

Didn’t have a coat hanger, so I had to improvise with a wood dowel and some wood supports. Thanks for the inspiration, though. Worked a treat. Caught the mouse the first try and released it far away this morning.

My cat caught a field mouse and (sadly) paralysed its back legs. I kept him in a tank for a couple of weeks in my workshop where he miraculously recovered. So much so that when I turned my back for a second he escaped into the shed where he's been for a few days, happily eating food I put down for him. Trouble is I don't want my cat catching him again cos I don't think he'll get so luck this time around so I was about to buy a humane trap online - until I saw this :-) Subscribed and I'll be buying a big bottle of fizzy drink tomorrow to get the build started! And keeping my cat out of the workshop until I can catch the escapee! Thanks for the video, great fun.

Discovered that he'd eaten his way through the plastic at the top - which is how he got out in the first place. Set the trap again last night and there he was in the morning inside the bottle, a bit wet and sorry for himself. He's now in the warm hay in a repaired and strengthened tank :-) Thanks again Chris - your design also inspired a mate of mine to make one too.

Very nice. I just made this yesterday and had a new resident this morning. I saved the bottle cap so I can remove the bottle and mouse from the stand for safe transport to a local park for release. Did not want to risk having the guy get out in my car on the way to the park.

is that a wild mouse? So calm.

10 sep 2016 YES! It worked! I had a wild house mouse show up in the downstairs of my house last night (9 sep). I'll call it a he; that's what the Dutch do. So right away I started searching online for mouse traps and came across this video. The mouse kept coming out and running along the floorboards, so it didn't take me long to decide to go to the trouble of building the trap. While I was building the trap, he kept coming out and when I moved toward him, he would run back into the closet where I finally figured out he was hiding. I looked inside the closet and he had already pooped like crazy in the floor of the closet. I rarely ever drink soda so I didn't have any 2L bottles lying around, but I found an unopened bottle of Diet Pepsi in the door of the old downstairs fridge that someone had probably bought about a year ago and I dumped the soda down the drain. No loss there. After I finished making the trap, around midnight, I set it up along the floorboard where he was running. Then I went upstairs, but at first he followed me upstairs! and into the kitchen and the living room! I guess he thought I was going to feed him or something? Once he ran back downstairs, I blocked the bottom of the doorway so that he couldn't come back upstairs again. Then around 2 am I went to sleep on the upstairs couch, wondering whether the contraption I built would even work. I thought he would probably find a way to get out, since there was still a slight gap between the opening and the piece of wood and I was also afraid the bottle might loosen at the point where the crossbar was attached. Or that he wouldn't take the bait. (In addition to a smear of peanut butter, I had also eventually added a few tiny slivers of Gouda into the bottom of the bottle to entice him further.) Around 6 am, I woke up and skeptically checked downstairs, but there he was! trapped in the bottle! I was amazed! It worked! I don't know about him remaining "very calm." He was squeaking like mad and had pooped like crazy, but had only managed to knock one little tiny ball of hard poop out of the bottle. 0:59 "He can't climb up the side of the bottle because it's so slippery." Yes, he can. Once you pick it up, he can climb up onto the crossbar and try to jump out through the bottle opening, so make sure to hold the bottle so that the block of wood is still blocking the opening. I had to shake him loose from the crossbar and then I placed the bottle cap back on the bottle. Then I removed the bottle from the crossbar, where he sat in the bottom of the bottle, wallowing in his own poop. Once I pulled the bottle from the crossbar, he had pooped so much, I decided there is no way I will ever re-use the bottle. I can just as easily re-fit a new bottle of soda if I ever need to catch another mouse again. As far as I can tell, he was a solitary house mouse who had worked his way into the house somehow. House mouse (Mus musculus) conservation status: LC (least concern).

Well... of course I was wrong. There is a second mouse which has shown up at different times of the day and night. First time was around lunch time; other times he has shown up at night. This one is sneakier and speedier than his cousin. And unlike the former, who was hiding out in a closet, I can't determine where this one has taken up residence. He leaves his droppings wherever he pleases. I don't know about them going in without hesitation. Apparently this one is smarter and more cautious than his cousin. For two nights now I have set the trap, but he has not taken the bait. I used peanut butter, as well as cheese in the bottom, just like before. Maybe this one saw his cousin get trapped the first time and he is not about to follow in his footsteps? Anyway, after two nights, I am thoroughly disgusted. I think I'm going to have to convert to a more traditional mouse trap. Any suggestions?

I believe you are right. mice and rats seem to be pretty smart. in my experience the same method often is not effective against family & friends who saw or heard his distress. I wonder if using a different color bottle the next time would seem different enough. awesome idea! when I had a mouse problem, I constantly had to change up my attack. They were hanging out cuz I had birds & they were eating the food too! I caught a couple in glue traps, then not a singe one more tho I'd still see them! eventually I caught a couple of babies who hadn't been warned or taught. I also wondered if they learn to associate THAT smell with danger! I used peanut butter too! when I used regular traps, I'd catch maybe 2 & then none all week again! (and meanwhile they were breeding!) I'd love to hear how this turns out for you! seriously, try a different color bottle & different bait. if you caught the first one while sleeping, you gave his cousin plenty of time to be onto your tricks! I had to use every method I could come up with to get rid of my problem. Thanks Chris for one more in case there is a next time!

After six successful captures (and one escape), I somehow decided to make a second trap. That night, both traps were cleaned of their peanut butter without any prisoners. It seemed to me that the most likely escape plan was the mouse using its paws and/or teeth to "scale" the blocking wall, pulling the bottle up until the mouth cleared. I modified the design slightly, taping a magnet to the neck and attaching a small metal sheet to the base; when the bottle was tipped, the magnet held it down firmly. We caught the energetic and tenacious "Miika," who will join our family as a pet.

Glad to see a humane trap, great video

A white footed mouse so precious and becoming more rare... Do not harm Thank you

These mice are so cute! And that's genius idea!

Commenting for the algorithm, great work

The mouse probably was back in the house before you were.

Thats when you have to ask yourself "were do they get in" and search for holes you left open in your house and fix them

+Kronikwookie they do but you fix the week spots and put a piece of metal inside it were they came through - also biggest problem: they smell very good - put your food in plastic containers

They just put a poop on my trap, time to try with another trap, and that trap in another place.

Made this yesterday, and caught a mouse at the house today. Thanks Chris!

It's always nice to cover the tap so the critter doesn't feel so exposed and vulnerable.

I'm so happy I can make a trap without killing them!

Just ran across this video and it's refreshing to see a very humane way to catch rodents in the house. I can't hurt or kill anything so I give you a 👍👍👍👍👍 thumb salute. This looks like a good afternoon project that even woman can easily construct. Thank you for clearly explaining and showing step by step instructions. God's smiling down on you! 🐀👏🙇

Even women huh? You're the reason we are still fighting for equality. That while line of thinking. I'm a woman. I'm girly. I even like pink. But i just turned my attic into a school room. Electrical, drywall..the whole thing. I can do anything a man can do. Except pee standing up without making a mess. Lol!

What a brilliant gadget, very easy to make as per your video Managed to catch 4 and release humanely within 2 days.

That is so ingenious! Thank you

Who else watches these just for fun knowing you'll never need or use em

More fun than watching anime out of sync mouths, huh! Uhh! Wha! robotic human movements, eye twitching etc. Worst thing ive ever seen is dragon ball z. The suspence of the powering up is frustating. Anime = cringe cosplay/headaches

@@benjihalfwelshlikealion9454 that's like saying you don't play videogames because you didn't like Fifa and Madden but never tried any other type of game, or never watch any horror movies because Heredity and Mother were cheesey.

we've been dealing with mice in the boiler room my husband set up a glue trap and one of them fell for the trap it killed me so much to watched it struggle to get off. It evenlooked at me right into my eyes. But it managed to get out because it only got one foot stuck. I was discreetly so happy. So now I need to try Humane traps to show my Husband that it is possible to catch them without those cruel traps. Thanks for the video!!
