if I've never told you before I love
YouTube and not because I'm a creator
and I get over here and make videos I
learned so much from you guys I'll tell
people I say you know I'm a youtuber and
I get two reactions it's either we don't
watch YouTube or they say oh man I watch
it all time I learn so much stuff and
then me too I have saved hundreds if not
thousands of dollars over the years from
people just like you that do videos on
life's little hacks that can make it
better for us or if you're a
do-it-yourselfer like me like maybe
you're trying to change the brakes on
your car you know and you don't really
know how and you pull up your car and
there it is and guys showing you exactly
how to do it so there's anything out
there that you know how to do I
encourage you please make a video don't
worry about it it doesn't matter if your
cameras good it doesn't matter if the
quality's good as long as they can see
and you're not moving the camera around
a lot you know try not to do that and
they can hear you speak I have a video
that has 1.7 million views I put it
right up here somewhere and I want you
to get a chance go watch it
look at the quality this thing was made
seven years ago maybe not my idea
somebody else a God did this Idol in his
backyard I thought it was cool it would
work for me where I live that it's all
about fishing with PVC pipe and it's all
over the internet and you'll see what
I'm talking about if you see something
that you like that you think it helped
you tremendously please please make a
video of it because I'm fixing to show
you something that helped me bones I'm
gonna put a picture of a bowl up in the
screen up here somewhere so you'll know
cute little fellers I mean they're like
little hamsters but they are herbivores
and they will eat up fruit tree bark
they'll eat up
you know like here's gonna be my
blackberries I got one out I was just
testing it to make sure it wouldn't die
my blackberries in the winter time where
there's no grass for him to eat because
they love to eat grass they love to eat
the root off of your vegetables in your
garden they are not a mole they are a
vole with a V I had about maybe 150
something like that they live in
colonies and I had a group a colony of
them here living around these pallets
the way I knew it my neighbor's dogs
they loved to hunt him kill him they
don't need them and so I put in this
little bait station saw this on YouTube
matter of fact the gentleman has a
patent on it so you know I'm not trying
to make them or sell them or nothing I
think it cost me maybe $7 $8 I don't
know that one sitting there was a dollar
69 so that kind of gives you an idea
things are always the most expensive
part got me a strap a couple of long
spikes I don't have it glued it has a
tee I put this on with a screw on you
don't have to you just put a cap if you
want to you can make these tubes as long
as you want I would say this caution
wise this thing will kill rats mice and
bolts I use two inch so the little bowl
can get in there cuz they're pretty
good-sized little fellers and the rats
are especially in here give you an idea
I have filled this thing two times has a
rod that goes through it you put these
cakes on here there is two and a half
cakes this thing holds eight so they
have eaten four and a half cakes and
this is the second fill up so that tells
you I mean they were eat three of them
cakes in an hour and those are pretty
good sized cakes got a whole room piece
of all thread nut on top you know just
drilled a hole through there but a wing
that on the bottom set it so that when
it goes down in there it's you know down
close enough to bottom when they eat the
bottom when it just slides down it's
like an automatic feed works great I
wiped out an entire colony right up
there they stay in a diameter of about
60 feet diameter and there can be
anywhere from 30 to 70 in that they were
everywhere I would sit inside the RV and
I would look out the window and they'd
be fuller on the ground and someone was
babies litter and they'd be just grazing
you know eating the grass and stuff but
they'll get into your seed building so
this ate anything but like I said I
wanted to show you this thing because if
they're amazing I've got another one
down there I'll walk you down there and
I'll show you what we got down there
things I forgot and I want to bring this
up we've been working on this we've been
working on this garden and it's finally
dried up a little bit I've got some
things planted but the first thing I
noticed was this and I knew we had them
but if I can find the tracks here we go
deer tracks and this deer went right
through the garden right down where I
planted all my potatoes yeah of course
they hadn't come up yet so in cut across
turned around the garden and came back
so I have ordered a thousand dollars
worth of fencing defense this place off
extra post actually ordered seventy-five
eight-foot T post hopefully I only put
them in a foot in the ground and I'll
have seven foot of fence and then I'm
gonna have hot wire on top something to
keep the deer out cuz I know what's
gonna happen I've got 36 tomato plants
to plant and I can plant them now but
I'm keeping them up next to the house to
keep them away from everything in the
pots till I can get this fence put up
okay now guys Ebert and I were down here
cutting down some more trees and we were
burning a lot of brush we got some over
there on the other side of the boat and
of course like I say we do have a boat
now because we actually have some water
in the pond but while we were down here
working
I saw mice running in here and I'm sure
there's probably riots fill rats and
everything else because these trees stay
loaded with hawks and these hawks are
fat and they just look good because
they're eating voles out of that field
over there and what happened was about
two weeks ago they came out and they
Bush off that field and when they did my
place filled up with those voles but I
hooked them now here's the other one
I haven't seen any bowls out here I'm
sure there is but I haven't seen any but
I have seen mice so I put this here two
days ago now you can see a little better
look at it
you can make these pipes as long as you
want to and you could make this as tall
as you want to and you can put a longer
rod this thing would be great like in a
barn you could put it against the wall
because the rats love to travel the edge
the wall strap that thing to the wall
this way you can screw your cap in and
off load that thing up I mean I'm
putting eight on mine but you could put
20 on it if you want to and then just
check it every so often they fill it
back up again every time my rat comes by
and gets him mouthful of it he'll be a
goner so two days ago this one had eight
on it I filled it up let's just see what
we got two days well there is one two
three four five and a half so they've
eaten two and a half and if it's mice I
can understand why they didn't eat near
as much and so maybe there's not a lot
of bowls or maybe I've have it in the
wrong place I mean there is something
here because they're eating on it so my
intent is to move these farther and
farther out on the perimeter set them on
these fence lines give everybody a good
chance all the rats and the Vosges to
fill up on them and then I will also
take them back up here and test them
again let me tell you the best way to
check to see if you've got a vole don't
build the bait trap or nothing just take
your round piece of pot lay it somewhere
where you think they might be maybe
they're running next to a wall they like
to run next to walls and stuff too then
after you get it laid where you want
that piece of pipe put your piece of
Apple in there if you think you've got
bowls that piece of Apple will be eat up
in about 15 minutes though they love
fruit so that's the best way to check to
see if you've got bowls now but now if
you think you might have some ranch or
something like that you can put you
something in there like peanut butter
and see what they do if I eat it up
quick then build you one of these and
keep it in when you get done with it put
it up in your shed clean it up wash it
off with a water hose and I guarantee
you these things are mean I've got a
video coming up about our house we've
ordered it it should be here in six to
eight weeks so thanks for watching
