The Kness Protector is built to shield traps from damage in busy commercial and industrial settings. Made from heavy-duty steel, it creates a durable barrier that helps prevent crushing from forklifts, machinery, or foot traffic. It’s designed to work with a variety of low-profile traps, helping extend their lifespan in high-risk environments.
The low-profile design allows for placement in narrow aisles, corners and other high-traffic zones without disrupting trap performance. Simple, tough and reliable, the Protector adds an extra layer of defense where it counts. It’s an easy way to help protect your customers’ investment and avoid frequent trap replacement.
About Kness Pest Defense
Per company history, the Ketch-All was invented by a young, widowed father of six, Austin Enos “Brick” Kness, in 1924. Mice were prevalent at the high school in which Kness was a custodian, “and led him to the idea of the ‘box’ trap. He built the first trap from a square oilcan, a Tuxedo Tobacco can, a spring from a curtain rod, and the wood base of a crate. The first night he set his trap, he captured five mice.
“He was elated and showed the teachers and his friends. He was encouraged to build others for his friends and to seek a patent. By 1927, Kness Mfg. Co. was formed to produce the KetchAll Automatic Mousetrap and another of Kness’ inventions, the RotoBow tree saw.”
Brick Kness was inducted into the Pest Management Professional Hall of Fame in 2024.
