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.”

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 Winter Is Prime Time for Monitoring Insects, Not Just Rodents

When winter hits, rodent activity gets most of the attention, and for good reason. But for pest management professionals, colder months shouldn’t mean taking your eye off insects. In fact, winter is one of the most strategic times of year for insect monitoring, especially in commercial and sensitive environments.

The reality: cold weather pushes more than rodents indoors. Insects that can’t survive freezing temperatures seek warmth, moisture, and food sources inside structures. Monitoring now can mean fewer surprises and fewer escalations when spring arrives.

Cold Weather Changes Insect Behavior

While many insects slow down in winter, they don’t disappear. Instead, activity shifts:

Stored product pests continue to reproduce indoors
Cockroaches concentrate closer to heat and moisture sources
Occasional invaders (boxelder bugs, stink bugs, spiders) move deeper into structures
Low-level infestations persist unnoticed without active monitoring

Without consistent monitoring, these populations can quietly build all winter—only to explode once temperatures rise.

Winter Monitoring = Spring Prevention

Spring infestations don’t start in spring. They’re often the result of missed activity months earlier.

Winter monitoring helps PMPs:

Identify low-level insect presence before it becomes visible
Establish clean baselines for sensitive accounts
Validate sanitation and exclusion efforts
Provide documented data for clients during slower seasons

For accounts like food processing, healthcare, warehousing, and multi-unit housing, this proactive approach strengthens credibility and reduces reactive service calls later.

Why Monitoring Matters During “Slow Season” Service

Winter service schedules are often lighter, making it the ideal time to:

Reassess monitoring placement
Improve documentation and trend tracking
Standardize tools across accounts
Reduce spring workload pressure

The key is choosing monitoring tools that don’t require constant adjustment or replacement.

Kness® Stick-All® insect traps are designed for exactly this kind of monitoring:

Reliable adhesive performance that holds up over time
No attractants or chemicals, making them ideal for sensitive environments
Simple placement and replacement, saving time on winter routes
Clear visibility for fast inspections and accurate reporting

Stick-All traps allow PMPs to maintain insect awareness without adding complexity to service calls, which is perfect for winter programs focused on monitoring rather than reaction.

Smarter Monitoring Leads to Stronger Programs

Winter insect monitoring isn’t about over-treating—it’s about staying informed. By keeping insect monitors in place year-round, PMPs can:

Catch trends early
Support IPM documentation
Reduce spring infestations
Deliver more consistent, professional service

Rodents may dominate winter conversations, but insects don’t take the season off. Monitoring now sets the stage for smoother, more predictable pest management all year long.

Winter isn’t downtime—it’s preparation time. And smart monitoring makes all the difference.
