While they can be a food source, most of us associate rodents with “bad news” and with good reason!
They can carry diseases, taint your food and water and destroy everything from bedding to electrical wiring and even construction materials; being able to trap them is a must in a survival situation.
There is no doubt about it. In a survival situation of any duration, the one thing you can count on is that rodents will flourish.
That increases your likelihood of sickness or having your living situation compromised – including your food and water!
This amazing trap is just one way of fighting the scourge. What ideas do you have for controlling the rodent population in a survival situation? Tell us below.

Problem? sounds more like “free protein” LOL
I’d like to suggest the possibility of a Ferrel cat population increase as a parallel to an increased rodent population.
I mean its a good trap and a good idea but rats just like roaches are only as nasty as their environment. Kinda sounds like a scare tactic.
In a total collapse we may be eating the rats too.
This actually is very effective i remember my days in public housing iI left a bucket in my room by mistake and would discover 3 mice in the morning looking up at me tired from a night of trying to jump out but they could not
And by problem you mean source of calories…
Good eatin redneck that$#%&!@*up
Nope, not with the diseases and plagues they carry. I will not eat them.
Excellent idea. I did the same trap for chipmunk using a metal trip plate but it would fall in the water, requiring reloading. This guy has a much better idea.
I catch chipmunks squirrels and mice on my property with the trap !
Not a problem but food!! Hate say it..
