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.

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.
