It kinda makes me feel better that there's no hesitation when the mouse looks and see 3 other dead mice but doesn't give a shit.
he does mention in the first video that he got them all 12 designs from the same book. mascall really hated rats it seems
[QUOTE=Ott;53036739]It kinda makes me feel better that there's no hesitation when the mouse looks and see 3 other dead mice but doesn't give a shit.[/QUOTE] In some of the videos where he tests other designs, some mice straight up climb over the corpses of dead mice in the trap, [I]eat what's left of the bait[/I], then just saunter off, no fucks given. :v: Here I am agonizing over the two mice I killed this morning, meanwhile this fucker is all about that peanut butter.

i love watching this guy he should recreate this [IMG]http://14544-presscdn-0-64.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/rat-exterminator.jpg[/IMG]

I just spent the last hour going through most of his videos, even his non-mousetrap related stuff. It's definitely worth subscribing to. Also, some of these mouse traps look like straight medieval torture devices.

Today I learned that mice, when captured en masse in a humane trap, will deathmatch until you let them out in the morning. How very metal.

The channel was great until I stumbled on the video where he catches a mouse with a gigantic botfly infestation and he popped it.

This guy has a very... interesting hobby to say the least.
[QUOTE=Tudd;53037217]The channel was great until I stumbled on the video where he catches a mouse with a gigantic botfly infestation and he popped it.[/QUOTE] Yeah and he also let one grow up. [url]https://youtu.be/CxkOvf3sd_Q[/url]
Honestly, these traps--dragon excluded holy shit-- seem a lot less painful than many modern traps. Those [URL="http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/facts/glue_boards.html"]glue traps[/URL], for example, are the most horrifyingly painful way I can think of dying and has been the subject of a good number of nightmares I've had.
This guy is up there on my list of the most awesome Youtubers. If you go into his playlist, he actually has an entire series dedicated to the equipment used by Otzi the Iceman, and how it would have been built.

Having watched so many of his videos now, a few hours later, I can say that the hangman with the string release that they have to gnaw through seems the most sneaky and humane. Multicatch traps are crap, and single catch traps are okay.
Why did i spend the last 2 hours watching his videos?

Just like getting in a repeater trap, they basically panic themselves to death and keel over pretty quick. I've done 24hr follow ups on places and find mice on glueboards to be dead and cold. It's not the most humane death but it's not as cruel as the humane society makes it out to be. Theres no way to kill a mouse 100% humanely and maintain a pest free building. Snap traps seem to be all well and good but I've had rats only get limbs or tails caught in them, and then they gnaw said limbs off to get free from it. I've also found dead mice in repeater traps with crushed spines from getting caught in a snap trap partially and getting free. And with snap traps, they'll only catch one mouse (or 2 if you're [i]really[/i] lucky), so they're not an effective means of long term control. Repeater traps are great but if you get more than one mouse in there, they'll either get hungry or territorial and start eating each other. I hate servicing grain elevators in the summer and fall because my repeater traps are always just mush piles of dead mice who've killed eachother, then rotted, then became breeding grounds for flies. Using poison works great, but it makes them bleed out internally as most rodenticide is a blood thinner, so not exactly painless either.

[QUOTE=Cyke Lon bee;53038160] Him letting the mice live is a good reason why he's having issues with them moving in his house in the fall.[/QUOTE] So? He gets to make more mousetrap videos, I'm not complaining
I bet there's secret communities of mice on the mouse darkweb getting off to these videos.
