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.

2021: A Year of Industry and Community Support From Kness

Albia, IA (December 22, 2021) – For Kness Pest Defense, one of the focuses over the last year has been about getting back out into the community–both locally and in the pest control industry. With local events and industry trade shows opening back up to in-person attendance, the Kness team was hard at work bringing awareness to important topics through special initiatives.

As Kness prepared to get back on out on the trade show and pest control event circuit, the company manufactured special one-of-a-kind pink Snap-E Mousetraps to raise awareness for breast cancer and to support women in the pest control industry. These traps were distributed during the Women in Pest Control conference in early October and continue to be given out at other pest control conferences.

"Supporting women in the industry is important to us at Kness," said Dan Crew, General Manager of Kness Pest Defense. "Our team celebrates females in pest control and fully supports the conference's mission of highlighting women in the industry."

Then, in November, Kness created and released limited edition patriotic-themed Snap-E Mousetraps that were auctioned off at a local fundraiser in order to help raise funds and awareness for the Welcome Home Soldier Monument project. These special traps featured two red, white, and blue multicolored Snap-E Mousetraps, paying homage to the great sacrifices that our nation's veterans have made.

Crew stated, "It was exciting and an honor to help support the monument in this creative way. With this monument being in our home city of Albia, Iowa, our team wanted to do something special to bring awareness to the project and those that served."

Kness is also proud to partner with groups that support dependent adults, such as The Well, Ragtime Industries, and First Resources (Tenco), in an effort to help provide means of independence. The company works with these groups, and those individuals are critical in the assembly process of Kness traps. Kness provides work and a sense of accomplishment to an underserved segment of the population.

"It is part of our corporate culture to give back to the community,' continued Crew. "It's a reflection of us as a company and what we value. We always look for ways to be engaged with those around us and make a difference."
