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.

The Role of Monitoring: Why Guessing Doesn't Work

When it comes to pest control, reacting to what you think is happening can lead to wasted time, recurring problems, and unnecessary treatments. Whether you’re a homeowner spotting the occasional ant or a pest management professional handling multiple service accounts, one thing remains true: successful pest control starts with accurate monitoring. Because without monitoring, you’re just guessing.

Why Monitoring Matters

One of the most common misconceptions in pest control is that traps only matter if they catch something. In reality, monitoring tools are just as valuable when they don’t catch anything. Why? Because they provide information.

Monitoring helps determine:

What type of pest activity is likely present
Where activity is happening
How severe the issue may be
Whether a treatment is working, or not
If a problem is improving, spreading, or returning

That information leads to smarter decisions instead of assumptions.

Seeing One Pest Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story

Spotting a single ant in the kitchen or hearing a noise in the wall doesn’t always reveal the full picture. Some infestations stay hidden long before obvious signs appear. Others may seem severe but turn out to be an isolated activity. Monitoring helps fill in the gaps.

Glue traps, covered snap traps, and insect monitors can help identify patterns and confirm activity before problems escalate. In many cases, they also help rule out issues that may not actually exist, saving time, money, and unnecessary treatments.

Smarter Pest Control Starts with Better Data

For pest management professionals, monitoring is one of the most valuable tools on the job. It turns pest control from a reactive service into a strategic process.

Instead of treating based on assumptions, monitoring allows PMPs to:

Pinpoint activity more accurately
Verify treatment effectiveness
Reduce callbacks
Identify hidden pest pressures early
Make better recommendations for customers

Good monitoring also builds confidence. Customers appreciate knowing there’s a reason behind the recommendation. It’s not just a guess.

Why “No Catch” Can Still Be a Win

One of the biggest advantages of monitoring is trend tracking over time. A trap that remains clear in a previously active area may indicate:

A treatment is working
Entry points have been resolved
Seasonal activity is slowing
Pest pressure is lower than expected

That’s valuable information. Monitoring is not just about catching pests; it’s about understanding what’s happening between visits, treatments, and sightings.

Smarter, Not Harder

The best pest control strategies are proactive, not reactive. Monitoring helps detect issues earlier, improves decision-making, and reduces unnecessary effort for both homeowners and professionals. Because in pest control, guessing can lead to bigger problems. The right monitoring tools help you work smarter, respond faster, and stay one step ahead before small pest issues become major infestations.
