5 Gallon Bucket Rat Trap || DIY Homemade Rat Trap

A tip for you...use the glue gun to adhere the bait to the cardboard. This way you don't lose it all into the bucket after the first rodent drops in. The same bits of bait will attract multiple rodents all day & night. In addition, since it's glued they are more likely to step closer to the edge setting off the trap.

A great rat trap, Dan. Great having something simple that can be used over and over again. Have a great Sunday! Rob

Nice meeting you my friend in the USA.from England love that ol Southern accent and attitude and I have a mouse in the bedroom and I will definitely make this today many times thanks

Great idea Dan . Thanks for sharing with us .

This works!!! Thank you so much for posting! We have had contractors here and the door got left open and a little roof rat ran into the house. We tried $75 in different traps to no avail. Made this (while my husband laughed at me from the couch) and caught it on the first night! I took half a peanut and rubbed it on the floor where I saw it run, onto my ramp, and the platform where I had peanut butter, dog food, chocolate chips, and cheese so I’m sure that helped. Anywho, thanks again! Our little rat fried was caught and released in the park this morning and I’m sure he or she is thankful too!

WOW!! That was really creative Dan !! Thanks for sharing . Enjoy your Sunday

Dan you are awesome! Love the very helpful information and colorful commentary!!

Thanks for the Excellent trap Dan...Great idea mate..Most Appreciated!!

Now that's a smart idea! We're in the process of of moving to the country. We have a lot to learn. I now know which type of feed buckets to buy for my feed & how to build a cost effective rat trap. Thank you. I will watch some of your other videos to educate myself. Have a blessed day. Best wishes from Central Texas.

That is a great DIY project and will make some today. As always I enjoy your videos.

Love it, both the trap and narration!

That's great Mr.Dan!

We use 5gallon buckets in the barn too. We drill 2 holes across from each other and put a piece of all thread through a piece of pvc pipe where the pvc will spin. Put peanut butter in the middle of the pipe and when they step on the pvc, it spins and they can't get traction and drop in the bucket where they hit the water we put there.

Awesome Dan, when I had chickens I kept my feed in 55 Gal steel barrels because even using the thicker plastic barrels they seemed to chew through 🤨 this trap sho enough effective my friend and budget friendly so high five 🙌🏻 and gold stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all around. Have a good Sunday Dan
