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!”
- Janine Hatt

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.

How to Stop Winter Pests from Invading Your Storage Spaces

As the temperature drops, pests don’t disappear. Instead, they move indoors. Storage spaces packed with cardboard boxes and paper offer pests the perfect place to hide and thrive during the winter months. These intrusions can lead to damage and unwanted messes. Here’s how to protect your home or business from these winter pests with some help from Kness.

Common Pests Found in Boxes and Papers

Cardboard and paper attract a variety of pests, especially during winter when insects and rodents seek warmth and shelter. Common culprits include:

Silverfish: These small, wingless insects are drawn to paper and cardboard, feeding on glue, starch, and cellulose. They can ruin documents, books, and other stored materials.
Cockroaches: Cardboard boxes provide warmth and protection, making them a favorite hiding place. If left unchecked, cockroaches can spread allergens and bacteria.
Rodents: Mice and rats often chew through cardboard and paper to create nests. They can quickly turn a stack of documents into shredded bedding, leaving droppings and urine behind.

How to Keep Pests Out of Your Storage Spaces

The key to pest prevention is staying proactive. A few simple changes can make a big difference in keeping pests at bay:

Inspect Before Storing: Before packing things away, check for signs of pests such as droppings, chew marks, or other damage. Anything suspicious? Clean and treat the area before storing.
Ditch the Cardboard: Cardboard might be convenient, but it’s also a pest magnet. Replace it with sealed plastic bins to block entry.
Keep it Clean: Dust and vacuum your storage areas regularly. Even tiny crumbs can attract pests looking for a winter snack.
Elevate Your Storage: Keep boxes off the floor by using shelving. This makes it harder for pests to climb in and helps you spot activity more easily.
Seal the Cracks: Gaps around windows, doors, and pipes are open invitations for pests. Use caulk or weather stripping to close off entry points.
Declutter Regularly: Piles of paper and old boxes create ideal hiding spots for pests. Sort through your storage at least once a season to keep clutter under control.

The Right Tools for the Job

Not all pest problems are obvious at first glance. Look for signs like shredded cardboard, marks along walls, or small droppings as these can indicate pests are already active. Catching them early means you can address the issue before it becomes a full-blown infestation.

When prevention isn’t enough, it’s time to take action. Monitoring and trapping are essential for identifying and controlling pest activity. That’s where Kness products come in:

Stick-All® Mouse and Insect Trap: A versatile trap that works well for managing insect populations in storage spaces.
Snap-E® Mousetrap: Perfect for quickly targeting individual rodents, this trap is reliable and easy to set up.
Ketch-All® Multiple Catch Mousetrap: For larger infestations, this trap can capture multiple mice without needing constant resets.

Using these tools along with preventive measures helps keep pests out of your storage spaces throughout the winter.

Protect Your Space This Winter

Even in the heart of winter, it’s not too late to take control of your storage spaces. By keeping areas clean and organized and using trusted tools from Kness, you can stop pests from causing damage and ensure your home or business stays protected for the rest of the season.
