Rodent control requires a robust knowledge of rodent biology, habits and the ability to observe rodent activity keenly.

Many signs point to the presence of rodents. Droppings, rub marks, consumed bait, and harborage are all visual cues of a rodent infestation.

The introduction of rodent monitoring technology provides pest management professionals (PMPs) with never-before-available, concrete evidence of where rodents have been active. Smart bait stations, multiple-catch traps and snap traps automatically collect rodent activity data, showing recorded timestamps of when rodent activity occurs. This information allows PMPs to track activity, establish thresholds, evaluate how their service is performing and ultimately, provide their customer with a superior rodent control service.

Better, faster, more highly reviewed rodent control fosters revenue and profitability growth for pest control firms and a happier and more loyal workforce.
