T-Rex Connect: High-Velocity Non-Toxic Rat Control Built for the Connected Era

Managing rodent risks across commercial facilities and residential properties requires high-precision tools that respond immediately to activity. In high-traffic environments or sensitive food production zones, traditional unmonitored traps can leave buildings exposed between technician visits. Rentokil Australia addresses these operational challenges by introducing T-Rex to its award-winning PestConnect network.

T-Rex is an advanced connected rat trap that combines smart technology with superior physical clamping strength. This non-toxic mechanical solution offers constant monitoring and rapid response capabilities, transforming how local properties manage rodent threats.

Powerful Mechanical Engineering Meets Smart Connectivity

Traditional mechanical traps often suffer from near-misses or weak retention, allowing rodents to escape or trigger mechanisms without being captured. T-Rex eliminates these failure points through heavy-duty engineering and smart integration.

49% Greater Clamping Power

Third-party mechanical testing comparing average static clamping force across six standard snap traps demonstrates that T-Rex delivers 49% greater clamping power. Equipped with interlocking teeth, the trap provides secure containment upon trigger. This high-velocity clamping force eliminates near-misses, ensuring captured rodents are unable to escape.

Non-Toxic Operation

T-Rex functions entirely through mechanical clamping force. Because it requires no chemical rodenticides, it provides an ideal option for sensitive environments such as food manufacturing plants, commercial kitchens, pharmaceutical warehouses, and homes with domestic pets.

Real-Time Monitoring with PestConnect

The true strength of T-Rex lies in its direct integration with Rentokil's PestConnect ecosystem. Rather than waiting for a scheduled site inspection, property managers benefit from constant automated oversight.

Rapid Response Performance Data comparing customer sites transitioning from non-connected systems to connected units shows that real-time alerts allow technicians to resolve rodent activity twice as fast.

• 24/7 Real-Time Detection: The moment a trap is triggered, an instant alert is transmitted through the PestConnect network.
• Immediate Technician Response: Real-time notifications allow Rentokil technicians to respond quickly, drastically reducing the duration of rodent activity on site.
• myRentokil Portal Integration: Activity data is logged automatically into the myRentokil online portal. Facility managers can review real-time site insights, track activity trends, and access verification files required for quality audits.

Heavy-Duty Durability for Harsh Environments

Commercial and industrial facilities present challenging environmental conditions, from dusty distribution centres to damp sub-floor spaces. T-Rex is built to withstand these harsh operational demands over long service periods.

Core hardware features engineered for maximum operational reliability include:

• IP67 Ingress Rating: Dust-tight construction and complete water resistance ensure reliable operation in wet or dusty locations.
• 5+ Year Battery Life: A long-lasting internal battery delivers years of continuous defence without frequent maintenance disruption.
• Interlocking Teeth Design: Provides maximum physical containment, eliminating pest escape risks.
• IoT Network Connection: Delivers automated, real-time alerts directly to technicians and the myRentokil portal.

Practical Actions to Support Building Defences

While connected hardware tracks rodent activity continuously, maintaining your property's physical structure remains essential for long-term risk reduction.

• Seal Building Entrances: Install heavy-duty steel mesh over open brick weep holes and fit durable seals beneath external garage or dock doors.
• Remove Food Attractants: Store dry food goods in heavy plastic or glass containers with airtight lids, and clear away food scraps from break rooms every evening.
• Clear Storage Debris: Keep stored cardboard boxes and wooden pallets raised off concrete floors to eliminate potential nesting zones.
• Eliminate Water Sources: Repair dripping outdoor taps and clear blocked roof gutters to remove standing water.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does T-Rex connect to the PestConnect network?

T-Rex features built-in wireless sensors that communicate directly with the central PestConnect system. When triggered, the unit sends an immediate signal through the network to alert Rentokil technicians.

Is T-Rex suitable for wet or outdoor commercial spaces?

Yes. With an IP67 rating against dust and water ingress, T-Rex is fully sealed to operate reliably in wet, damp, or dusty environments.

How does real-time trap monitoring benefit health audits?

Every trigger event is recorded automatically in the myRentokil online portal. This creates a complete, time-stamped audit trail that demonstrates proactive site management to health inspectors and quality assurance auditors.
