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!”

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 Launches Corporate Rebranding Initiative

Albia, Iowa (May 2, 2017) - Today marked the beginning of what Kness, Mfg. Co., Inc. President Kathy Wauson referred to as ‘a new day’ at Kness Mfg. The pest control product manufacturer has launched a corporate rebranding initiative, focusing on the world-renowned quality of Kness’ pest control products, and their exclusive production process.

The Albia, Iowa, based manufacturer recently revealed their new brand and positioning - Kness Pest Defense, “Your Best Defense”, to their sales team and customers following an internal brand launch with employees. Kness leaders highlighted that every team member is an important part of their dedication to customers, as well as setting high quality standards in the industry. All Kness products are hand-tested before being packaged, and this quality is reflected in the company’s less than 1% return rate.

Since its inception in 1924, Kness remains a family-owned company and has proudly produced USA made products. “Family, that is what we are,” says president Kathy Wauson. “We are a very close-knit team and we’re proud to do what we do. Our employees are an integral part of our success, and our company rebrand initiative.” Kness’ comprehensive marketing effort touches all aspects of the brand including a new company logo, responsive website, product collateral, apparel, internal and external communications, signage, with additional developments planned for the near future.

Kness customers and reps are also a large focus of the company’s efforts, as online resources are being elevated and ongoing communications strengthened. “This is an extremely exciting time for Kness.” Wauson went on to say, “This was not a decision we took lightly. We’ve been very diligent in our industry research, and have not only listened to our customers and employees, but have developed a brand that resonates the pride, character, and intentions, of our company for moving forward.”
