🔥Walking, crawling, and rolling slowly and carefully is the key to escape from a human-sized sticky rat trap.
🦎The trap caught not just bugs and rodents, but also a lizard that accidentally touched the spilled glue.
💡The Backyard Scientist suggests the challenge of creating more sticky glue trap videos on YouTube.
🚶♂️The Backyard Scientist is scheduled to speak at Maker Faire in New York on September 25th.
🧪The Backyard Scientist's next video will feature an experiment with a mega microwave.
What is a human-sized sticky rat trap?
—A human-sized sticky rat trap is a large piece of plywood covered with sticky glue, resembling the traditional small rat traps found in stores.
Was anyone harmed during the making of this video?
—No, although some sticky glue got on the Backyard Scientist's clothes and hair, it was not harmful and could be easily washed off.
Can other animals besides rats get stuck in the trap?
—Yes, in the video, a lizard accidentally touched the spilled glue and got stuck. However, the Backyard Scientist rescued it by applying olive oil.
Is it difficult to escape from a human-sized sticky rat trap?
—With slow and careful movements, escaping from the trap is possible. Fighting against the glue can make it stickier and harder to remove.
What other experiments or challenges does the Backyard Scientist have planned?
—The Backyard Scientist will be conducting an experiment with a mega microwave in an upcoming video. He also suggests viewers try creating their own sticky glue trap challenge videos.
00:00The Backyard Scientist introduces the video and discusses his recent project of creating a mega microwave.
00:19He explains the problem of the microwave leaking stray microwave radiation and his attempt to fix it with Rattrap glue.
00:46The Backyard Scientist describes Rattrap glue and its purpose as a trap for bugs and rodents.
02:50After heating the glue in the oven, the Backyard Scientist pours it onto a piece of plywood to create a human-sized sticky rat trap.
04:24He begins testing the trap by walking and crawling across it, demonstrating the stickiness of the glue.
06:08The Backyard Scientist successfully crawls and rolls across the trap, showing that with slow and careful movements, escaping is possible.
08:01He shares his overall thoughts on the video, invites viewers to create their own sticky glue trap challenge videos, and teases his upcoming mega microwave experiment.
