The Snap-E Mousetrap is a durable, professional-grade solution built to outperform traditional wooden traps, said Kness. Made with ABS plastic and a steel trigger, it delivers sanitary results with less mess and greater long-term durability, according to the company. Its quick-response design and vertical strike bar reduce travel distance for a more efficient snap, while the integrated bait cup ensures consistent, accurate placement every time, said Kness.

Built for repeated use in both residential and commercial environments, Snap-E is easy to clean, simple to reset and ready for the demands of daily pest control, said the manufacturer. Technicians can bait the trap before or after setting, allowing for added safety and flexibility in the field. The design also allows for fast disposal without direct contact, said Kness.

For operations requiring color-coded placement or visual preferences, custom color options are available. Customers can choose individual colors for the base and trip paddle and select either yellow or white for the striker bar. Color availability is based on quantity ordered and material cost.

Gentrol Complete EC3 is a multi-rate formulation that combines the long-term control of Gentrol plus an insecticide for immediate relief for all levels of kitchen infestations, said Zoëcon. Designed for use in food-handling establishments, this combination formula breaks the insect life cycle with Zoëcon’s pioneering insect growth regulator (IGR) (S)-hydroprene to prevent rebound, and lambda-cyhalothrin for immediate relief of adult insects.
