Mouse Traps vs. Poison: Choosing the Smarter Tool

Mouse Traps vs. Poison: Choosing the Smarter Tool

Rodents don't belong in facilities, homes, or workspaces. But once they get in, how you handle them matters. Poison might seem like the obvious solution, but for professionals who need consistent results without added risk, traps offer more control, flexibility, and long-term value.

What Poison Gets Wrong

Rodenticides depend on the rodent taking the bait, and even then, you're left with questions. Did it eat enough? Where will it end up? How long will it take to work?

Poison often leads to:

  • Unpredictable outcomes
  • Dead rodents in inaccessible areas
  • Foul odors and cleanup issues
  • Risks to children, pets, and non-target animals
  • Regulatory concerns in sensitive areas like food service or healthcare

While poison still has a place in some settings, its limitations are clear, particularly when safety is a concern.

Why Traps Work Better

Traps offer a straightforward, visible solution. You know exactly when and where the catch happened. That kind of control makes a big difference in commercial and residential spaces alike. Benefits of traps:

  • No harmful chemicals
  • Easy to monitor and adjust placement
  • Safe to use indoors, even in sensitive environments
  • Reusable options for long-term cost savings
  • Immediate, measurable results

Kness traps like the Ketch-All®, Snap-E®, and Stick-All® are designed for pest professionals who need tools they can count on. They're built for performance and designed to be easy to use in the field.
