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!”

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.

The Public Health Side of Pest Control

Most people think pest control is about getting rid of unwanted pests. In reality, it’s about protecting people.

Whether it’s a family home, restaurant, school, warehouse, grocery store, or healthcare facility, effective pest management helps reduce health risks, protect food, and create safer environments. It’s one of the few professions that quietly supports public health every single day.

Rodents Affect More Than Buildings

Mice and rats don’t simply damage property.

They contaminate food.
They leave urine and droppings.
They damage insulation and electrical wiring.
They carry parasites.
They reproduce quickly.

Because rodents often stay hidden, an infestation can become established long before anyone notices.

Public Health Happens Behind the Scenes

Think about all the places you expect to be clean and safe:

Grocery stores
Restaurants
Schools
Hospitals
Food processing facilities
Warehouses

Professional pest management helps protect these environments every day. When rodent activity is prevented or addressed early, businesses can reduce contamination risks, maintain sanitary conditions, protect inventory, and support the health of employees and customers alike.

The best pest control is often invisible because problems are prevented before they become noticeable.

Prevention Is More Effective Than Reaction

One of the biggest misconceptions about pest control is that action starts after rodents appear.

In reality, the most successful programs focus on prevention.

That includes:

Monitoring for activity
Identifying entry points
Improving sanitation
Reducing harborage
Using mechanical trapping where appropriate
Responding quickly to signs of activity

Early action helps stop small problems from becoming larger ones.

Information Through Monitoring Leads to Better Decisions

Whether you’re protecting a home or managing a commercial facility, one principle remains the same: You can’t manage what you don’t know.

Monitoring provides valuable information about where rodents are active, how they’re moving, and whether control efforts are working. Instead of relying on guesswork, monitoring allows pest management professionals to make informed decisions that improve outcomes and support long-term prevention.

Pest Management Is a Public Health Profession

The next time you see a rodent trap, monitoring station, or pest management professional servicing a facility, remember that their work goes far beyond removing pests. Every inspection, monitoring device, and preventive measure helps protect the places where people live, work, learn, eat, and gather. By reducing health risks, safeguarding food, and preventing problems before they grow, pest management plays a vital role in supporting healthier communities. Because pest control isn’t just about rodents. It’s about public health.
