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.

What Makes a Trap Professional Grade

In pest control, your tools aren't just equipment. They're part of your reputation. When clients rely on you to get results quickly and cleanly, your trap has to work. No second chances. No missed catches. That's where professional-grade traps make all the difference. They're built to perform, to last, and to match the demands of the job without slowing you down.

So what separates a pro-grade trap from a basic one? It's a combination of precision, durability, thoughtful design, and long-term value.

Precision That Professionals Count On

Traps are either effective or they're not. Cheap, poorly made traps often misfire or trigger inconsistently, leading to missed opportunities and trap-shy rodents. That makes your job harder and undermines your results.

Professional traps are built for accuracy. The Snap-E® Mousetrap is a strong example, featuring a vertical strike bar and oversized trip paddle for quick, clean activation. These design details ensure the trap fires fast and exactly when it should. The more precise the mechanism, the more reliable the result, especially when it matters most.

For those working in branded environments or looking for added flexibility, the Snap-E is also available in a range of customizable colors, an optional feature that some professionals find helpful for organization or brand consistency.

Durability That Lasts Beyond a Single Catch

Disposable traps might get through a few uses, but they're not made for long-term performance. Flimsy plastic, weak springs, and one-time parts can't hold up to repeated jobs. Professionals need tools that do more than work once.

Kness traps are made from tough ABS plastic and steel components that resist wear, odor, and damage. They clean easily and reset quickly, making them ideal for environments that demand consistent performance. This includes commercial facilities, agricultural operations, and areas with ongoing rodent problems.

When you're managing multiple accounts, the last thing you want is a tool that breaks down mid-job.

Built for the Way You Work

Professional-grade traps don't just catch pests. They support your workflow. From setup to cleanup, they're designed to help you move faster and work smarter. Kness includes field-ready features that make a difference, like:

Pre-formed bait cups for easy, consistent baiting
Hinged lids for fast access and cleaning
No-touch release options for safe and sanitary handling

And when a space requires nonstop coverage, tools like the Ketch-All® Multiple-Catch Mousetrap keep working without constant resets. It's a simple way to maintain control in areas with high rodent pressure or limited service access.

The Kness Standard

At the end of the day, your trap is only as good as the results it delivers. Kness traps are engineered with the needs of pest professionals in mind. Every product, from the Snap-E and Big Snap-E® to the Ketch-All® and Pro-Ketch®, is tested for performance and trusted by the people who need reliability every single time.

With more than 100 years of experience and a reputation built on quality, Kness sets the bar for professional-grade pest control tools. These aren't just traps. They're tools designed to work as hard as you do. Explore the full Kness lineup at Kness.com.
