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.

4 Methods to Keep Your Spaces Pest Free

08.14.2023

We all encounter those pests we could do without. Whether they are on the verge of moving in or have infiltrated your home or office, one word describes how we want them - gone. In the following article, the experts at Kness Pest Defense hone in on methods you can implement to keep your spaces pest free.

1) Batten Down the Hatches

For insects and rodents to find their way into your domicile, they need a way in, correct? Make routine, seasonal checks to ensure that your perimeter is secure.

Replace the weather stripping around doors
Seal cracks around windows, thresholds, foundation, etc. with caulk
Also seal gaps where wiring and plumbing enter the house/basement
Double-check crawl space areas to ensure all cracks are sealed
Secure food/water sources in sturdy containers (i.e. plastic, metal, glass) with tight lids

2) Cleanliness is Next to Godliness

If you disregard less-used spaces and let clutter build up, this creates the perfect ‘home’ for pests to seek refuge and to build nests. With routine cleaning, you can ensure that rodents and insects don’t find what they are looking for.

Sweep and vacuum regularly
Downsize and consolidate storage items to eliminate unnecessary clutter and ‘nesting areas’
Again, store all items in plastic storage containers with tight lids

3) Bring Them to Their Scent-ses

Natural pest repellents can be brought in to help deter unwanted guests. Certain scents can be left near entry points to help keep away spiders, roaches, moths, ticks, fleas, ants, beetles, mosquitoes, fruit flies, and more.

Utilize peppermint essential oils in a diffuser
Create a simple vinegar spray that is considered safe for humans and pets

4) Lay the Trap

Sometimes you have to bring in the ‘big guns’ for larger infestation and pest prevention methods. That’s where Kness Pest Defense’s line of pro-grade products comes in. Outline the biggest problem areas of your basement and reinforce your efforts with quality, proven products.
