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 Adds Key Team Members, Expands Capabilities

Albia, Iowa (May 5, 2017) - Kness Mfg. Co., Inc. has developed quality pest control products since the company was founded in 1924. That same dedication to producing quality, innovative products continues to this day with the recent expansion of their team and manufacturing capabilities.

The industry-leading pest control product manufacturer, which is based in Albia, IA, has brought on new team members that have helped spur increased manufacturing capabilities.

Due to the rise in customer orders and to prepare for future growth, Kness hired James Hayward as Eastern USA Retail Sales Manager and Nick Fugate as International and Midwest USA Pest Control Sales Manager in 2014 to assist with National and International customer relations. In 2016, Western USA Pest Control Sales Manager Jeff Caudill and Western USA Retail Sales Manager Misty Little were brought on to round out the Kness sales force.

In addition to bolstering their sales team, Kness recently added Scott Vestal as Plant Manager. With over 23 years of manufacturing experience, Vestal brings additional manufacturing knowledge and expertise to the growing company.

In an effort to keep up with increasing product demand, Kness recently implemented their fifth Si-150v Toyo plastic injection molding machine. The new model, which is capable of producing around 1,100 plastic assemblies on an average day, has helped increase productivity while elevating product quality. “The new equipment has provided new opportunities for Kness,” mentioned Kathy Wauson, President. “In fact, we’ve reinforced our team because of a spike in product sales.”

“Our company continues to grow and that can be attributed to our production processes and dedicated team,” said President Kathy Wauson. “We wouldn’t be where we are today without our exceptional employees who continue to raise the bar.”

Kness continues to develop new product prototypes which have been featured on television shows such as the History Channel’s ‘Modern Marvels'. Those looking to learn more about Kness products, are urged to visit its official website at www.Kness.com or by following the company on social media.
