How IoT is Changing the Face of Rodent Management System?

Rodent infestation is a common yet challenging issue faced by both residential as well as commercial properties. Adopting various preventive measures is of no use once the property is already infested. There are several techniques and methods available in market for getting rid of rodents but all of them have their own limitations like high toxicant values, not able to access your house for weeks, and sometimes impacting the health of kids and old people in the family.

About IoT
However, the IoT has helped in creating an effective and result-oriented solution for rodent monitoring. For the uninitiated, IoT stands for Internet of Things which is an ecosystem of the physical devices connected with each other, accessible via the internet. The internet helps these devices in exchanging data.

How IoT helps in rodent management?
Capitalizing on the brilliance of IoT and cloud computing, the Singapore based company RATSENSE® came up with the rodent monitoring system that uses IoT for monitoring the rodent movement and activity. The system offers valuable information and data which helps in deploying the traps more effectively.

The company has developed a brand new approach for gathering insights on the rodent activity with help of rodent sensors which prevents the guesswork-based strategies. The company strives to offer an efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective solution for combating the rodent infestation.

How do rodent sensors work?
The rodent sensors are placed in the high rodent-activity areas for inspection. As and when the rodent passes through the location, the rodent sensors send a notification to all the relevant parties such as owner and pest management service about the rodent activity so that they can decide a plan of action of elimination.

Through IoT, all the devices are connected with internet which helps the rodent sensors in offering real-time data. One of the significant benefits is that one can view the rodent activity on their laptops and mobile phones even while they are far away from the infested premises.

Features of RATSENSE®
-It uses passive infrared sensors and cloud computing technology for monitoring real-time rodent activity.
-The service platform offers data-driven analysis for estimated rodent activity and population
-It reduces the cost of labour and material by 40 to 60%
-It is as much as 6 times more effective in trapping rodents than other methods.
-It is one of the safest and harmless long-term solutions for rodent infestation.

How does RATSENSE® overcome the connectivity issues?
RATSENSE’s® recent partnership with UnaBiz will help in providing a smart solution for rodent management across the globe. RATSENSE® integrates with Sigfox’s low-power and wide area network (LPWAN) technology to leverage on IoT. It helps the sensors in using the uninterrupted connectivity for collecting and transmitting the data enabling large-scale deployments and extending the sensor battery life.

The partnership will make RATSENSE® the biggest preventive maintenance company in Singapore from devices to analytics to applications. UnaBiz offers a backbone to RATSENSE® with effective data collection, gaining deeper insights and streamlining the processes and resource utilization. Effective and constant monitoring is the key to successful rodent control which has been made possible with RATSENSE’s® IoT-based rodent monitoring system.
