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.

Why Monitoring Works Better Than Guessing in Pest Management

In pest management, assumptions can be expensive.

A customer hears scratching in a wall and assumes rodents. An employee spots a few insects and assumes an infestation. A facility manager requests treatment based on what they think they’re seeing. While experience and instinct play an important role in pest control, the most successful pest management professionals know that effective decisions are built on evidence, not guesses. That’s where monitoring makes the difference.

The Cost of Guesswork

Every PMP has encountered situations where the reported problem wasn’t the actual problem.

What sounds like rodent activity could be insects in a wall void. What appears to be mouse activity could be an isolated incident rather than an established population. Even experienced technicians can waste valuable time and resources if they move directly to treatment without first understanding what’s really happening.

When pest activity is misidentified, the consequences can include:

Unnecessary service visits
Ineffective treatments
Increased product costs
Customer frustration
Avoidable callbacks

In today’s competitive environment, callbacks don’t just impact profitability. They can impact your reputation.

Monitoring Creates Clarity

Monitoring tools provide something assumptions never can: objective information. Rather than relying on reports, observations, or best guesses, monitoring devices help reveal:

What pest species are present
Where activity is occurring
How extensive the activity may be
Changes in population size over time
Which areas require immediate attention

This information allows PMPs to build targeted treatment plans instead of broad, reactive responses. The result is more efficient service, better outcomes, and greater confidence in the recommendations being made to customers.

Early Detection Changes Everything

One of the greatest advantages of monitoring is the ability to identify pest activity before it becomes a larger problem. A single insect on a monitoring device may indicate the beginning of an issue that would otherwise go unnoticed. Light rodent activity can often be identified before significant damage, contamination, or customer complaints occur.

For commercial facilities, food processing plants, warehouses, and other sensitive environments, early detection isn’t just beneficial. It’s essential. Monitoring helps transform pest management from being reactive to proactive.

Better Data Leads to Better Decisions

Strategic placement of monitoring devices throughout a facility creates a clearer picture of pest pressure over time. Trends become visible. Activity patterns emerge. Service recommendations become easier to justify.

When customers ask why you’re recommending a particular course of action, monitoring data gives you answers you can stand behind. That’s a level of certainty that guesswork simply can’t match.

Monitoring Solutions Built for the Job

Kness offers a variety of monitoring solutions designed to help PMPs gather valuable information while supporting effective pest management programs.

Stick-All® Mouse & Insect Glue Traps are ideal for monitoring both crawling insects and rodent activity. Their versatility allows technicians to quickly identify pest presence, track activity patterns, and verify treatment effectiveness.

For rodent monitoring programs, Pro-Ketch® and Ketch-All® Multiple Catch Mousetraps provide ongoing monitoring while also delivering control when activity is detected. These proven solutions help technicians gather meaningful information without relying solely on customer reports or assumptions.

When paired with Kness protectors and covers, monitoring devices can be placed discreetly and securely in commercial, industrial, and sensitive environments while maintaining a professional appearance.

The Pro’s Edge is Based on Data

The difference between an average service call and an exceptional one often comes down to information. Monitoring provides the data needed to identify problems accurately, respond appropriately, and reduce unnecessary callbacks. It helps PMPs spend less time guessing and more time solving problems. Because when it comes to pest management, the best decisions aren’t based on assumptions. They’re based on what the evidence tells you.
