Practice shows that self-made rat traps are more effective. After all, rats move from another shelter, where purchased traps and traps could be used. The animals will already bypass them.
Before getting started, you need to watch a video of making a rat trap of interest, so as not to miss the details, as well as take into account important aspects:
Rats are very intelligent, easy to train. And rat families are big. If one or two rats fall into the trap, then it becomes temporarily useless: the experience will not allow other individuals to get there. Therefore, it is better to have several options.
Rats are strong animals and can easily get out of the bucket. Therefore, buckets used for traps must be filled with water or high containers.
It is better to use lard, smoked meats, sausages - products with a strong smell as bait. Although the bread will also be good.
How to make a plastic bottle trap for rats?
The simplest one: we take a bottle, string it in the direction along the rod. Next, put the rod on the edges of the bucket.
Lubricate the bottle completely with sour cream, stew or porridge. We bring a bridge from a plate to the bottle.
The rat climbs onto the bottle on the bridge, the bottle scrolls and the rat falls into the bucket.
In the bottle, cut the top and open it slightly. We take a rod and attach a flagellum to it, which acts as a spring. We fix the rod itself in the incised part.
At the bottom of the plastic bottle, we attach a hook tied to the neck through the hole in the wall and string the bait. The animal pulls on the bait, the top is squeezed out and slammed shut.
The bait bottle is placed on the edge of the table. The bottom should be almost halfway over the edge. We fasten the neck for a rope of sufficient length into a nail driven into the table or in a similar way.
The rat is able to climb inside through a narrow neck, and the bottle hangs under its weight.
Description of the bird
The hawk can be found in the coniferous and deciduous forests of Europe, Asia and America. The bird makes nests in very old and large trees growing near the edges. There, feathered predators hunt birds and animals of small size.
The wingspan of a hawk is 1 meter or more. This indicator in females is approximately 20 cm higher than that of males. The mass of the male hawk is also less than that of the females. The plumage of the upper part of the body has dark shades. Some feathers of the hawk are gray-brown with a slight azure tint. The bird's beak is black. Only its base is yellow. The paws and eyes of the bird have the same color.
The shade of feathers of adult birds and chicks is different. Youngsters can be distinguished by their plumage color. The upper part of their body has a brown tint with small spots, and the edges of the feathers are rusty-yellow. The plumage of the lower part of the body has brown spots of an elongated shape on a rusty-red background.
How to make the simplest DIY rat trap
Take the pan and turn it over. Raise the edge of the pan and rest on the strip of cardboard set by the edge. A bait is attached to the edge of the cardboard. The rat pulls on it, the strip overturns, and the pan covers the animal.
Likewise, a coin can be used instead of cardboard.The bait is placed inside the container. When the animal crawls inside, it will knock over a coin and cover itself with a saucepan.
IMPORTANT: the pan must be heavy so that the rat cannot lift it.
A drawing paper with cuts is placed on top of the bucket. The bait fits on it. Under the weight of the body, the rat will fall through the slots into the bucket.

How to catch a swarm of bees in an empty hive
The right place and trap is not a guarantee of catching bees, these insects are quite whimsical, so it will not be easy to lure a new swarm to the apiary. These insects do not tolerate an artificial smell, while they fly with pleasure to sources of honey and other bee products, therefore, on the basis of honey, propolis and other things, you need to create a bait.
To do this, you need to thoroughly wipe the honeycomb and the inner walls of the house with bee products. Additionally, thick sugar syrup can be used as bait, with which the honeycomb is abundantly covered. In their natural environment, bees like to settle in tree hollows, far from the ground, so this feature should definitely be taken into service. The trap should be secured to a tree at a height of at least 3 meters.
However, this place must be in comfort, away from drafts. After insects appear near the house, you should not start transporting it. Often the first settlers are scout insects, whose purpose is to choose the most suitable place for the herd, so their appearance does not always indicate good luck. The transfer of the trap should be approached only when the family has settled, this often takes at least a month, after the appearance of the scouts.
Glue traps
You have to be careful with this. Adults, especially males, are large and strong. They are able to get out, and, as a rule, they get out of the glue and crawl away. Rather, glue only from rat pups is effective (becoming the size of a mouse - they also go out to hunt).
It is important to choose a stretch adhesive and spread it very thickly on a piece of plywood. Put the bait in the center.
Sometimes it is recommended to spread glue on cardboard. But in this case, an adult rat will pull him along when trying to get out and can get stuck with him somewhere. The smell from the rotting body of the animal will make itself felt.
What it is
A sewer trap in an apartment building is a kind of filter that catches large debris and foreign objects. Its meaning is that some careless tenants of the upper floors have a habit of flushing various rags, napkins, paper towels, baby diapers, feminine pads and other items down the drain. All this debris accumulates in the lower part of the sewer riser, in the section of the transition to the horizontal pipeline.
The drains stop passing, their level in the pipe rises and finally reaches the toilet bowls of the residents of the lower floor. They call the plumbers, or try to break the blockage on their own. The problem is solved for some time, but the perpetrators continue to dump garbage into the toilet as if nothing had happened. They often do not even have a clue of the problems they create for their downstairs neighbors.
Eventually, the tired residents of the lower floors begin to figure out how to set a trap on the sewers in order to catch all the debris and calmly use the drainage system. The problem is that there are no special designs of this type on sale. Sometimes they try to solve the issue with a check valve, but it does not give the desired effect.At most, it will cut off the flow from below and protect the apartment from flooding with drains, but it will be impossible to use the sewage system.
To protect against flooding, many apartment owners install a homemade sewer trap. Most often, this is a mesh with large meshes installed across the riser. There are simpler designs - two transverse rods that easily pass ordinary drains, but catch dangerous objects that form blockages. According to the plan of the owner of the apartment, the debris will remain in the pipe and the blockage will no longer arise. However, the problem remains, only it is shifted onto the shoulders of the residents of the second floor (or apartments on the floor above). Garbage will quickly block the drainage passage, and the toilet bowl in the upstairs apartment will flow. At the same time, the owner who set the trap will also get it, since the drains will seep through the ceiling and flood his bathroom.
How to make a tunnel type trap
We take a Whatman paper or cardboard, turn it into a tunnel and attach it with tape to the table. You can take a piece of pipe. Half of the tunnel should hang over the edge.
At the end we put the bait, again preferably with a strong aroma, although bread is also suitable. We put a bucket of water or a high container (barrel) down.
This trap is difficult to make, but effective. The entrance hole of the tunnel trap is made in the form of a valve with sharp needles directed inward. The rat will crawl in for the bait, and there will be no reverse motion due to the needles.

Trap on the home street, or On safety and carelessness
How to make a trap for a person on the street? It is not always necessary to deliberately dig holes, insert stakes, or set up snares. An open sewer hatch and an unfenced trench, a construction pit and a well with boiling water from the heating main can become a deadly trap on the streets of a modern city.
If construction is underway next to the house, be sure to look after children and adolescents. After all, it is so interesting for them to be on the territory of the "excavation", and games in such a place often end in failure: spinal injuries, fractures and concussions.
In order not to fall into an open well, you need to carefully look at your feet when driving on sidewalks. Of course, builders and repairmen should put up fences and warning signs when working on potentially hazardous sites. However, in order to maintain your own health, you yourself need to take care of yourself.
Trap cage
For manufacturing, you will need a strong steel mesh, panels of wood and metal, for the trigger - a spring.
The trap door opens upward with spring tension. A gatehouse with a hook at the end of the cage is attached to it. The bait is put on the hook. The rat pulls on the bait and the door slams.
Bird trap
You can fight birds with a hunting snare. With its help, it will be possible to detain even individuals of impressive size.
Assemble the structure according to the scheme posted on the site. Proceed in stages:
- Find a log of medium thickness. Length about 2 m.
- Drill through.
- Dig into the ground.
- Pull line or rope through the hole. Tie a weight on one end, make a loop on the other.
- Lay the loop on the ground.
- Make a knot near the hole. Insert a perch into it and place bait on it. As soon as the bird sits on it, it will immediately fall and be pulled into a loop.
You will have to fight for the safety of your crop. But keep in mind that it is permissible to resort to all these methods exclusively on your site.Using them for hunting purposes is prohibited by Russian law.
Zürner's trap
Works on the principle of overturning traps. It is a one-piece, durable construction. Several individuals can be caught in it at the same time.
It is made in the form of a wooden house with two entrances. The filling is placed in the center of the corridor. And the boards from it are mounted on hinges. Under the weight of the rat, the board is lowered and then returned to its original position.

Piercing model
The most dangerous traps for hunting. They are used only where the appearance of people and domestic animals is excluded. The principle of operation of traps is based on the impact of spikes made of bone or steel, stretched tight along the animal path. These versions are designed to defeat big game, including roe deer and wild boar.
The trap is made of a metal springy rod or flexible strong pole. The tension level is adjusted so that there is sufficient force and sharpness of the impact. A pair of sharp spikes are fixed on the edge of the bar, the length of which depends on the type of intended prey.
