Kness Pest Defense 100 years ago, we built the first-ever multiple-catch mouse trap. Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door. Co., Inc.

That’s exactly how Kness Mfg. got started in 1924 by our founder, Austin Enos "Brick" Kness, who invented the first multiple catch mousetrap while working as a janitor at a local Iowa high school. Mice were invading the lunches of students, so the enterprising young inventor took matters into his own hands and created the prototype for the Ketch-All® Multiple Catch Mousetrap. Kness products are proven performers. We offer a comprehensive line of tough, market-tested products for catching all types of pests. And we do it the right way- the American Way- by investing in our community. Built on a legacy of providing high-quality pest control solutions, Kness Pest Defense has manufactured innovative products for more than 90 years. Strategically located in the Midwest, our team of experienced industry professionals believes in supplying innovative, reliable and easy to use pest control products of the highest quality. Now a third-generation family-owned company, our team’s strong midwestern work ethic, family values and commitment to excellence have helped establish Kness as the industry standard. Proven, durable and produced from the highest-grade materials, our products can be trusted to perform, time and time again. We welcome you to the world of Kness Pest Defense. Your best defense.
