Professional digital pest control

Technology has revolutionized how we manage even the most unexpected aspects of our lives, and pest control is no different. With digital pest control, businesses can now have a more innovative and efficient approach to tackling unwanted pests. While digital pest control is quickly becoming the go-to solution across many industries, there may still be some unanswered questions. At Rentokil, we're here to shed light on this innovative approach and tell you everything you need about digital pest management.

What is digital pest control?

Digital pest control uses technology such as IoT (Internet of Things) and cloud computing to monitor, manage, and control pest threats more efficiently and effectively. By leveraging this technology, digital pest control automates the monitoring of rodent traps, allowing for 24/7 monitoring and protection. This ongoing monitoring allows for early detection and expert intervention of pest activity.

With digital pest control, Technicians can now respond immediately to the exact device where activity was triggered, allowing for hyper-targeted rodent management efforts. The data collected is easily accessible to customers through the Rentokil customer portal, PestNetOnline. This technology provides an all-in-one place for service reports, documentation needed for audits, and enhanced insights into pest activity and risks at your site, making pest control more efficient and effective.

Digital pest control is not only essential but also has numerous advantages. Here are some of the key benefits of using digital pest control for your business:

Technology is at the forefront of developing innovative, efficient, and environmentally friendly solutions for pest control. These advancements are pivotal in promoting non-chemical pest management methods, making our approach better for the environment while effectively managing pest populations.

How is digital pest control connected to the Internet?

While some digital pest control options can slow down WiFi, at Rentokil, our solutions are designed to be discreet and shouldn’t affect your internet speed or interfere with your daily business activities. Our PestConnect devices utilize a wireless technology known as LongReach (LoRa), which operates independently, ensuring no disruption to your internet, devices, or machinery. LoRa requires minimal data, offers easy installation, and extensive indoor and outdoor coverage, making it an optimal solution.

Does digital pest control offer value for money? 

Digital pest control revolutionizes the way we manage pest risks by offering continuous monitoring and protection enhanced by data-driven insights. This innovative approach ensures early detection and proactive intervention, drastically cutting down the likelihood of expensive pest infestations. It empowers our expert Technicians to quickly address any signs of pest activity, significantly reducing the risk, downtime, and expenses linked to damage to stock and machinery onsite. 

Digital pest control also streamlines audit compliance processes. With all pest control data centralized and easily accessible, and the option to generate custom reports, you gain back valuable time and resources. This efficiency not only cuts down on manual paperwork but also reduces the overall costs associated with traditional pest management methods.
