The Difference Between Presence and Pressure
PRESENCE = One Event A mouse visits a bait station once. → Not necessarily a problem.
PRESSURE = A Pattern That same mouse returns 3 times in one week. → This indicates risk.
PRESENCE
One Event A mouse visits a bait station once. → Not necessarily a problem.
PRESSURE
A Pattern That same mouse returns 3 times in one day. → This indicates risk.
Traditional pest control reacts to presence after you SEE pests.
Intelligent Pest Management detects pressure BEFORE pests become visible.
This is the entire difference.
What Are Action Thresholds?
Action thresholds tell us when to take action and when to leave things alone.
Think of it like a smoke detector in your home
- Random cooking smoke = normal, detector stays quiet
- Sustained smoke building = threshold crossed, alarm sounds
Our system works the same way with rodent activity
- Occasional background activity = normal, no action needed
- Activity crosses YOUR property’s threshold = we schedule service
The key word is YOUR. Every property has different thresholds based on what’s normal for that location.
Two Ways the System Protects Your Property
You Don’t Have Rodents (Prevention Mode)
WEEK 1-3 Learning Phase
We install monitoring stations around your property. The sensors start tracking activity and learning what “normal” looks like at each location.
Example:
- Outdoor station near landscaping: A few visits per week = normal
- Indoor station in basement: 0 visits = normal
- Outdoor station near foundation: A few visit per week = normal
WEEK 4+ Protection Active
Now that we know what’s normal for YOUR property, we set action thresholds:
- Outdoor landscaping station: 6+ visits per week = threshold crossed
- Indoor basement station: 2+ visits in one week = threshold crossed
- Foundation station: 3+ visits per week = threshold crossed
When activity crosses a threshold, our system alerts us and we schedule service before you see droppings.
Two Ways the System Protects Your Property
You Don’t Have Rodents (Prevention Mode)
DAY 1 with Active Problem
You’re seeing droppings. We deploy sensors WITH traditional control methods (bait stations, traps, exclusion work).
WEEK 1-2: Treatment Working
The sensors show us it’s working in real time:
- Day 1: 15 rodent visits across all stations
- Day 3: 12 visits
- Day 7: 8 visits
- Day 10: 3 visits
- Day 14: 1 visit
Why This Matters
Traditional pest control: Technician visits every 2-4 weeks, checks bait stations, guesses if more bait is needed.
With sensors: We KNOW exactly when activity is dropping. We know when bait stations are getting hits and need refilling—before they run out. We know when the problem is actually solved—not guessing.
WEEK 3-4: Problem Solved, Prevention Begins
Activity drops to near-zero. Now the sensors switch to prevention mode the sensors alert us if pressure starts building again.
What This Means for You
IF YOU DON’T HAVE RODENTS
- We catch problems 2-4 weeks before you’d see signs
- Sensors learn your property’s “normal” and alert us to changes
- You never deal with the stress of discovering an infestation
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE RODENTS
- We track treatment effectiveness in real time (not guessing) ✓ We refill bait stations before they run out (not after)
- We know exactly when the problem is solved (not relying on “haven’t seen any lately”)
- Once solved, sensors automatically switch to prevention mode
EITHER WAY You get data reports showing
- Activity levels at each monitoring station
- Whether activity is increasing, stable, or decreasing
- Exactly what we did and why
- When your next service is needed (based on data, not calendar)
When we see these patterns, we schedule service even if you haven’t noticed anything
FAQ
What is Intelligent Pest Management?
A modern approach to pest control that involves using data to understand pests activity and controlling them.
Why do pest keep coming back?
Unless you have data to show there’s no activity you will nee\ver know if they are actually gone.
What if I already have a rodent problem can this help?
Yes. The sensors work during treatment too. We deploy them WITH traditional bait stations and traps. The data shows us in real-time whether treatment is working, when bait needs refilling, and when the problem is actually solved. After treatment, the sensors stay active and watch for any return activity.
How long does it take for the sensors to start working?
If you DON’T have rodents: 2-3 weeks to learn your property’s normal activity patterns. Then they’re actively protecting.
