RICHFIELD, Ohio — An upcoming History Channel program titled “Modern Marvels: Traps” premieres Monday, Aug. 27, at 8 p.m. EST.

Included in this episode is a segment on rodent traps in which Kness Manufacturing participated. “Modern Marvels” producers spent four hours at the Kness headquarters in Albia, Iowa, filming a segment and interviewing Kness R & D Engineer Harry Knuppel.

The following is the History Channel Web site’s description of this episode.: Gotcha! Traps are a device designed to capture and kill, but they don't always harm their prey. Often necessary to the survival of a species, watch as Black Bears are trapped by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources biologists for a population study. Feral cats left stranded in New Orleans after Katrina are trapped, neutered, and released. Head underwater to see how giant screw traps count salmon on the Columbia River. Man traps? See high tech versions, straight out of action movies.
