Jeez everything has to be a short now

u/False-Humor-4294 6d ago

They guy is used to finishing in 10 seconds or less, cut him some slack here

u/Moist-Dependent5241 6d ago

Correct.

u/debugwhy 6d ago

I would comment a longer comment, but I have to watch another short.

u/zippedydoodahdey 5d ago

And add more mice going in!

u/thebeatle022 1d ago

And maybe some boobs and explosions

u/Rrunken_Rumi 2d ago

But wont you want to know the backstory and context?

u/KeepBanningKeepJoin 6d ago

FYI this guy caught 100 mice in 1 night doing this

u/Several-Age1984 5d ago

Multiple questions:

What did you do with them?

I assume that didn't solve your problem right? There had to be many more. How did you completely get rid of them?

u/teapac100000 5d ago

Sometimes when multiple mice are caught, they eat each other. Peanut Butter is a pretty good bait.

And then u keep the survivors. Breed these cannibals and then release them into the system. Mouse problem solved.

This is the one trick exterminators don’t want you to know.

u/TicketTasty9013 6d ago

I have one of these. It all works the same but I've found better success by having the ramp up against the wall. Mice/chimpunks/rodents scurry around walls so if the ramp is next to it, they naturally run up it.

u/2muchicescream 6d ago

Oh no he’s so cute

u/Oldbeardedweirdo996 6d ago

He's a disease carrying pest that eats your food stores while urinating and defecating on it.

8

u/Sylvert0ngue 6d ago

Yea and he's also cute :D

2

u/Oldbeardedweirdo996 6d ago

But he will bite you and pass any number of diseases plus the wound would likely go septic. In Australia they swarm in the millions.

u/Sylvert0ngue 6d ago

And he cute

2

u/zippedydoodahdey 5d ago

Are you Australian? Is this still going on?

2

u/Oldbeardedweirdo996 5d ago

Periodically not sure about the timing but some years it happens and most years it doesn't.

Many think that humans are cute and they have been pretty terrible to us

u/LauraTFem 6d ago

I see no harm in this, he’s just a little dude doin’ little dude things.

u/Impossible-Tough884 6d ago

I bet you’re a ton of fun at parties

1

u/Witty-Examination432 6d ago

Do you go to a lot of parties where people talk about how cute mice are? I can see this guy ruining the vibe but your parties seem a bit lame

u/Impossible-Tough884 6d ago

I can honestly say yes my friends and I love talking about cute animals. I don’t care if it’s a lame.

u/Jdog2225858 6d ago

If anyone is interested there are so many of these mouse traps on YouTube. They are kind of interesting to see . Don’t know why. There must be something wrong with me

2

u/brawnybenny696969 6d ago

Cool, now he drowns to death :)

u/Putrid_Culture_9289 6d ago

Drown buckets generally don't have a lid from what I've seen.

u/RealHuman2080 6d ago

These are so gross. Rats and mice get in there, and then you have a bunch of rotting rats in mice that you have to deal with.

1

u/mowog-guy 6d ago

Not if you pour a gallon of RV antifreeze in it.

1

u/RealHuman2080 6d ago

How does that change anything? You still have a bucket full of dead rats and mice rotting in antifreeze. If you put water, you know they’re drowning, slow slowly.

1

u/Witty-Examination432 6d ago

Put in a vacuum hose from your car exhaust. Dig a hole. Bury dead mice.

2

u/El_Chingon214 6d ago

Haha I thought the mouse 🐁 got out but realized the video just restarted 😂.

2

u/Konstant_kurage 6d ago

This is how I was taught to make these traps on the farm. You also have bait for fishing off the coast next weekend.

2

u/Chino780 6d ago

I have one of those. They work great.

1

u/Crossover-magnet1298 6d ago

Did the mouse survive?

7

u/TA-pubserv 6d ago

Yes there is a big brick of cheese in there for him to nom on 🤗

6

u/WillingnessSalty84 6d ago

And then he gets to live on a farm and be a free range mouse 🙃

u/Adventurous-Bake-168 6d ago

Mouse? Or rat? Inquiring minds want to know.

u/Jackieboi24 6d ago

mouse

1

u/Adventurous-Bake-168 6d ago

Seems big for mouse. Maybe the lens is changing it.

u/Putrid_Culture_9289 6d ago

That thing was tiny lol

2

u/Adventurous-Bake-168 6d ago

There is no banana for scale

2

u/Putrid_Culture_9289 6d ago

There was a 5 gallon bucket though ; )

u/cm2460 6d ago

What bait do people use for these? I’ve never caught a single mouse in mine and there are plenty in my shop

2

u/Jackieboi24 6d ago

peanut butter and sunflower seeds

u/Wyfami 6d ago

Salami worked best for me. Never had to wait more than 20min to catch a mouse, including in daylight when I was in the same room.

But are you sure you didn't caught them ? Mouses are notoriously acrobatic and are surprisingly adept at getting out of traps. The sticky traps are usually good and don't even require bait, you can just put them along a wall and usually efficient enough, especially those that you can fold in a tunnel like form.

1

u/cm2460 6d ago

😂 salami is hilarious I will try that. I’ve never seen a sign of a mouse in the 2 I have. I catch plenty in sticky traps but the shop is so cold right now I’m thinking they aren’t sticking lol

1

u/yugentiger 6d ago

What did he take in his mouth? Also, rats and mice are so smart it’s so funny that the mouse just ran up there. Normal traps don’t do anything anymore here.

u/RoryDragonsbane 6d ago

I thought he snuck out a hole in the bottom before I realized the gif looped

u/kixada9v4y5u2 3d ago

thats a lot of planning tbh

1

u/cococosupeyacam 3d ago

sneaky little guy wants food

u/zifenududo6b0o 3d ago

this video should be five seconds long

u/Nice_Ad_5735 20h ago

200+ mouses and counting, dude, how many rats do you have??
