That rat ain't gonna be trapped for 5 seconds. It has an escape ladder going into the bucket with it when it falls

It doesn't need the ladder. Rats can jump vertically over 4 feet with no assistance. Source: had pet rats.

from water? what are they, dolphin rats?

The rat will probably be able to stand on the wood after having fallen in.

I forgot to read the water part smh.

It actually looks like it has a spring or hinge or something under the board on the garbage can. It may very well be an acme product.
