Adams Pest Control Electronic Monitoring Service proactive pest control

The Adams Pest Control Electronic Monitoring Service (EMS) provides a targeted data-based approach for proactive pest control that mitigates risk of infestations and reduces use of rodenticide and poisons. Adams Pest Control has been involved in the development of this evidence-based integrated pest management service over nine years in conjunction with a number of specialist businesses both locally and overseas.

The EMS uses a range of sensors and Narrow Band technology (NBIoT) to provide 24/7 monitoring that tracks rodent movement/activity. The sensors track activity along eaves, pipes and suspended ceilings, and waterproof devices with NFC-enabled sensors are used below ground level.

The collected information is used to provide analytical diagrams and heat maps. Traps are placed in identified hot spots such as entry points, and congregation and nesting locations, and these traps are continuously monitored.

The real-time data is supplied directly to a user’s dashboard interface to enable rapid response.

Moving from the current reactive approach to pest control to a proactive targeted strategy based on continuous data collection of rodent activity has many benefits, including: mitigating risk of infestations; long-term reduction in rodent population; allowing for quick response and action to reduce the likelihood of negative social media attention; reducing rodenticide use, waste and reliance on poisons; and improving animal welfare compliance.
