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.

Snake Facts

There are more than 3,000 species of snakes in the world and there is at least one type of snake on every continent except Antarctica. While snakes can often be a helpful and fun pet, they are less welcome when showing up in yards and houses uninvited. Many snakes have dangerous venom, but most common yard invaders are more of a nuisance than a real threat.

Pest Tips

Behavior and Habitat

It is a common misconception that snakes build nests for their eggs. Only one species of snake, the king cobra, will build a nest for its young. Not all snakes lay eggs, either. About 70 percent of snakes lay eggs. These types of snakes are called oviparous. The other 30 percent give birth to live young, much like mammals. This is because some climates are too cold for eggs to develop and hatch, so snakes living in colder climates do not lay eggs.

Snakes live in almost every corner of the world. They are found in forests, deserts, swamps and grasslands. Many call underground burrows or the spaces under rocks home. Some snakes, like the cottonmouth water moccasin of North America, live in water part of the time. small animal traps

Temperature Preference

Though they are found all over the world, snakes do not, however, like the cold. This is because they are cold blooded, or ectothermic. This means that they don't have the means to regulate their body temperature as warm blooded creatures do. If it is cold outside, then the snake will be cold, too, since their bodies do not use energy to create heat for warmth.

When it is cold, many snakes hibernate in tunnels underground. Others seek warmer areas, such as inside humans' homes. Capturing and relocating them can prevent them from getting into to your home, although the method used will depend on the size and species of the snake. In cases with a potentially dangerous species, contact a pest control professional.

Snake Trapping Tips

Capturing and relocating snakes can keep them away from your home, although the best method depends on the size and species of the snake. In cases involving a potentially dangerous species, contact a pest control professional.

Trivia

Snakes don't smell with their noses like humans. They have a forked or split tongue that they use to smell and taste chemical compositions in the air. Snakes don't have eyelids or ears, either, and their eyes don't move. To hear, they feel vibrations through the ground.

Human skin flakes off a little at a time, but snakes shed their entire skin nearly three times a year, which is called molting.

Snakes aren't slimy. Their scales are smooth and dry. Corn snakes use their scales as climbing equipment. They can angle the scales so that it digs into bark, allowing them to climb trees.

The paradise tree snake of Southeast Asia can fly. It swings its body through the air and then flattens into a C-shape to catch the airflow. If it flips its body back and forth it can change directions as it falls.

There are several ways to tell if a snake is poisonous. For example, if its pupil is shaped like a diamond, then the snake is poisonous. Snakes that are non-poisonous have round pupils. Color is another good clue. This rhyme will help you remember the difference between a poisonous coral snake and a non-poisonous scarlet king snake:

If red touches yellow, it will kill a fellow.
If red touches black, it's a friend of Jack.
