This is a seasonal ritual at our house. I hear the mice move in with the cool weather and I get out the mousetraps. A tiny bit of peanut butter in the bait cup and they are caught. If I don't get all of them with the trap the rest seem to move on to safer pastures somewhere else after enough of their buddies have been killed.”

I would like to thank your company for making the "perfect" mouse trap. I have tried at least 20 other trap brands and they have all had various degrees of success, but none work as well as yours. My daughter bought me six (6) of your mouse traps for my birthday and after setting all of these traps around two of our properties, I was amazed at the response. Best traps I have found on the market.”

Within thirty minutes or less of placing the Snap-E® Mousetrap, I had a dead mouse. I used some candy a mouse had eaten into as bait. I am ordering six more. These traps work! I have had about twenty of the old wooden ones sitting out around the house for three week and caught NOTHING!”

I'm catching mice every night in my greenhouse with these Snap-E® Mousetraps. They are so easy to set that I don't even flinch any more as I reset them - they never snap while they are being set. I've tried lots of different brands of mousetraps and these are far superior to the rest.”
- Mark Parsons

I love being able to catch multiple mice with one setup. This way I can let it sit for a couple days and catch multiples. The Ketch-All® Multiple Catch Mousetrap is the best mousetrap I've found. I'll be buying several more.”
- David Benn

You guys are great! Just a note to say 'Thank You' for the 2 Metal Lid Replacements for our Mousetraps. A great benefit was when I saw 'Proudly' made in America. That is what America is made of and we need to get back on track with showing the world! Great products, made by great people who back up what they produce! Look out mice... 2 traps back in service. Thank you!”
- Janine Hatt

I have set thousands of these traps while running Thoroughspect and have never found a better trap ever. The traps are exactly what a mousetrap should be in that they are fast-reacting, easy to set and release. In addition, they have a visible yellow bar that can be seen in crawl spaces and attics to see if they have been triggered.

Kness Unveils Visual Bird Deterrent Product

Disclaimer: As of 2022, Kness Pest Defense no longer produces Kness Avian Away. Explore Kness’ other Bird Trap solutions.

Avian Away Product Image ALBIA, Iowa (January 10, 2020) — Kness Mfg. Co., Inc., an industry-leading manufacturer of pest control products, is excited to announce Kness Avian Away™, a revolutionary product aimed at deterring birds from congregating or nesting in unwanted places. This product continues Kness’ tradition of pest control innovation and fresh ideas.

Kness Avian Away solar-powered bird deterrent uses several unique features to scare off unwanted birds. With brightly-colored fins and LED lights, the product design is displeasing to birds. Two rows of angled fins spin in opposite directions, combining with the sun’s reflection during the day to create an unwelcoming experience for the flying animals. In low light, Kness Avian Away’s solar-powered LED lights are activated, ensuring 24/7 defense against birds.

Designed with multi-colored fins, this bird deterrent spinner repels multiple bird species. With gold and silver coloring, the flashy colors help drive the feathered creatures from yards, gardens or other outdoor areas. Light from the sun (or LED lights at night) points to and reflects off of the fins, creating an effect that deters birds from landing without the need for loud noises or bulky traps.

This product joins Kness’ broad array of existing pest control offerings, which range from insect solutions to small animal traps. In business for more than 95 years, Kness continues to push forward and release new innovations that join the ranks of its other popular and effective products such as the Ketch-All® Multiple Catch Mousetrap — frequently billed as the “world’s best mousetrap.”

“We are excited to introduce the Kness Avian Away, which allows our customers to deter unwanted birds in a safe, easy and unobtrusive way,” said Kness President Kathy Wauson. “We are always looking to bring the highest quality solutions to those who use our pest control products, and this solar-powered bird deterrent helps us do just that.”

While the Kness Avian Away is most effective on rooftops (i.e. barns/sheds, parking garages, businesses, etc.), the deterrent can also be mounted on a flat surface or attached to a half-inch conduit pole (not included).
