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.”

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.

Keep Pests Out of the Office

Kness Clean Office Every day it is a team effort to keep a business on the path of success. The same thing can be said for preventing rodents, bugs and other pests from invading the office. When everyone in the company is on board with keeping up a clean work environment, it can boost overall productivity while saving time and money dealing with major pest problems down the road. Here are some helpful tips that anyone can use in their daily office routine. If pests are already an issue in the office, Kness Pest Defense offers a wide range of solutions to help eliminate pest problems.

Being Mindful of Food

While name labels on your food may keep your co-workers at bay, pests will take advantage of any opportunity to get food. Keeping up a sanitary workspace is key to eliminating the possibility of pests. If you’re having a snack at your desk, don’t leave food wrappers or containers lying around and make sure to clean up crumbs. After eating in the office cafeteria or break room, make sure to clean dishes and containers. Limiting the number of available food sources is a great way to prevent rodents and insects from moving in.

Don’t Overwater Plants

The unassuming office plant not only makes the space more inviting to customers but can also attract gnats and other insects. Overwatered plant soil can create a breeding ground for insects. While gnats are essentially harmless, they can impact productivity to the point where employee’s work gets interrupted by bugs buzzing around their face. One tip is to research what types of plants you have and how often they need watering.

Organize Papers & Boxes

Another overlooked facet of office life, where pests might flourish, are stacks of paper and cardboard boxes. The material provides great cover for rodents and cockroaches to hide and build homes. Cockroaches can easily make a home inside corrugated cardboard boxes. Make sure to organize and store papers in file cabinets, binders, plastic boxes or folders. If you are storing papers or other items in cardboard boxes, make sure to keep them off of the ground.

Move the Dumpster

Dumpsters can cause a big issue with attracting unwanted pests. It is recommended that dumpsters be placed around 50 to 100 feet away from the closest door from the building. Investing in a lock to secure the dumpster lid is a great way to ensure rodents and other small animals can’t scrounge around for a late-night snack.

Equip Your Office with Kness Pest Defense Products

Remove trash regularly and keep kitchen counters clear of food waste. If you’re dealing with a fly infestation indoors or outdoors, the Kness Stick-All® Glue Trap can help eliminate the problem. So convenient to use and safe for the environment, this is one sticky mouse trap you’ll want to keep around.
