I like how his mousetrap is more advanced than his phone.
shawn still keeps his old phone because it's the only thing youtube will let him give a little flip to 🤣
You know this guy’s life is just too awesome when he says “I still use a flip phone.”

Good to hear this video is because they upgraded the trap and not just because the original was deleted. Edit: people clowning Shawn because of his flip phone...hasn't he shown his phone on this channel before? He's an outdoorsy type. I'm not terribly shocked.

I finally figured out what the coin on the bait is for. When you remove the coin it causes a button battery to short and slowly release gas that pushes the bait out.
Rat sounded different. I like how the plunger made a dull thud on the rat instead of the sharper snap on the mouse.

The a24 trap made me a fan of yours from a few years back
Nice and tenderized for the cleanup crew!
I bought and tried the A24 trap. I did not have great success with it. After putting it out, and putting a camera on it and putting it in several locations where there were known mice and rats, I did not know of a single successful hit. For several months, it was on the floor of a horse barn with a small cage to protect other animals from entering and monitored it with a trail camera and with the hit counter, yet did not know of a single successful kill. (Your experience may differ.) In the location I used it, there were cats, and I think the rats were avoiding the floor (I caught several climbing on the walls of the barn.) (Yes, screwed the trap to the wall for rats climbing on the narrow 2x4 the wood was nailed too.) I also placed this under a house in a crawl space for several months, where there should have been nothing to drag away the bodies, yet, with known mice and chipmunks in the area, nothing was caught. I had seen a prior video where this trap was shown to hit larger vermin, yet did not have luck with those either. After about all those failures and not a single known kill, I gave up on the trap.

So that the rat and stoat traps don’t also catch flightless or otherwise curious birds, and also doesn’t need resetting super often :P there’s a pretty large debate over long term pest solutions for our national forests here in NZ, and the current solution for large sections of forest is 1080, a poison. I think it’s actually banned in the US? Something something dangerous to people and causing painful deaths. A lot of people don’t like that 1080 is used in forests for pest control (fair, I also dislike it), and so the issue then becomes ‘how do you set up long term autonomous traps for hard to reach places that don’t also catch the native birds’. This is perhaps the most effective trap to come from that line of thinking.

Very impressive. Wonder how it would work on voles?

I read about this NZ kill device years ago. They had rats swimming to an island by the 10,000. The only bad thing was for each dead rat, their buddies ate it. That meant it took longer to kill every rat. They did it.
Need to find a way to set one of those up over a bucket (55gal drum) when there's a bad infestation somewhere... Leave it for a week, changing the cartridge every day. It could be even better if you could adapt it to work with [kegerator] CO² canisters... that way it wasn't limited to 24 shots
Skunk “ thanks Shaun”
Does is the trap constantly connected to bluetooth? Or does it just connect what it needs to report in? (I'm thinking about battery life for both the phone and the trap). If I'm out of range will it reconnect once in range?
The OG!
Do you think that it could be mounted on a slant so the expired rodent would slide out and clear the way?
Is there a way to set times in the app when the trap is active? (eg. on at night, off during the day?)
My husband still uses a flip phone. In 4 years I’ve gone through several and he still has his flip phone that holds charge for days rather than mine that only last a couple of hours

if there is nothing on the app that you have to reset for the app to register any more kills you could get an adaptor to use compressed air or co2 from a welding tank.
What button releases the acid to dissolve the rat slowly and painfully?

I mean, yes, it’s an expensive trap but for what it does, it’s well worth the cost and the headache it saves you by literally taking care of itself if you put it outside.
I wonder what the range of the Bluetooth is? I'm sure it's fine for around the house, but it may be lacking for something out in a barn that's some distance from the house. But you'd probably be alerted when you got within range.

Company website says 30 meters (or 100 feet). There are multiple versions of bluetooth protocol, The original bluetooth had a range of 100 feet. This is a very simple data transmission. (A notification only contains a few bytes to kilobytes of data). Real life usage is going to vary based on obstacles in the direct path and electronic noise of the area.
Awesome
Good work Crawdaddy.
I noticed when you inserted the pirate mouse, it activated twice in short order. If the mouse gets stuck with the trigger in the tripped position, will it continue to activate until the CO2 it depleted?
@AutomaticTrap
Жыл бұрын
Hi there! We notice the same thing while watching. This looks to be because of the angle the trap is being held at to show the viewer how it works. Normally the trap would set off and as soon as the trigger released, gravity would cause the rodent to drop before allowing the trigger to set off again. Here the dummy tester looks to be hovering around the trigger after having been set off since the video is trying to show the viewer how the trap actually works. Another possible reason is that the test dummy is significantly smaller than rodents and in testing it looks like it pushed the tester back behind the trigger into a position an actual rodent would not be able to get itself in which caused the second trigger. Hope that helps :)

Naughty rats get the smart phone piston
Needs a way to attach this over a bucket so that the dead mice don't block the way in for others.
Do you still need to have "location" set to "always" in your phone for notifications to work? I gave up using notifications on mine for this reason. Love the trap, hate the software.

so this will let me know about every kill, now normally im not down with killing anything but this teddy bear I have is almost a member of the family and mice started eating it so im fine if they die. Still I rather use the mint spray to control where they go
I’ve had two of these traps for years and much prefer the battery operated Teal Elite Rat Zapper ($50 on Amazon). I’ve killed three times as many rats (and tree squirrels) with this trap, and it is easier to use and a third of the cost.
