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
