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.”

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.

Common Pest Myths Debunked

Effective pest control begins with understanding common misconceptions that can lead to ineffective pest management strategies. In this article, we debunk some of the most prevalent myths about pests and pest control to help you make informed decisions and to keep your home or business pest-free.

Myth 1: Spotless Homes Are Pest-Free

Even the tidiest homes can attract pests seeking shelter. While cleanliness can help deter pests attracted to food, it doesn't guarantee a pest-free environment.

Myth 2: Pests Are Only An Issue in the Summer

Cockroaches, mice, and spiders can thrive year-round. Cold weather often drives these pests indoors in search of warmth and food. Termites can remain active near heat sources even during winter, requiring constant vigilance.

Myth 3: Pets Completely Deter Rodents

While pets may catch some rodents, they are not a reliable solution for rodent control. Not all pets are hunters, and some rodents carry diseases that can harm them. Professional pest control is more effective for managing infestations.

Myth 4: Ants Are Only Attracted to Sugary Foods

Ants are opportunistic eaters with varied tastes. Carpenter ants prefer protein-rich foods, while pharaoh ants target greasy items. Sealing all food is the best way to prevent ant invasions.

Myth 5: Mice Love Cheese

While mice do not discriminate against varying food sources, including cheese, mice favor peanut butter or dried fruit due to their strong scents. Trapping mice is only a temporary fix; sealing entry points is crucial to preventing infestations.

Myth 6: There's No Infestation if You Don't See Bugs

Many pests, such as bed bugs, fleas, termites, and mites, can cause significant damage while remaining hidden. Regular inspections and professional exterminators are essential for detecting and managing these hidden threats.

Myth 7: All Pest Control Chemicals are Harmful to Humans and Pets

Modern pest control chemicals, when used responsibly, pose minimal risk to humans and pets. Trained professionals ensure these substances are applied safely, maintaining effective pest control without compromising household safety.

Understanding and debunking these myths allows home and business owners to make informed decisions about pest control, leading to more effective management strategies.
