TECHNICAL PEST management
Pest management involves the application of advanced scientific and engineering methods to control pest populations while minimizing environmental impact. This approach focuses on precise targeting and efficient use of pesticides, utilizing data-driven analysis to identify pest hotspots and migration patterns. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies, encompassing biological, chemical, and physical tactics, underpin this approach. Cutting-edge technologies such as remote sensing, drones, and genetic modification are harnessed to monitor, predict, and manage pest outbreaks. By merging innovation with ecological awareness, technical pest management offers a sustainable path to safeguarding crops, public health, and ecosystems, fostering a harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
Device technology
. There are a variety of monitoring systems out there and each has a slightly different design. Some systems focus on alerting when a rodent is caught in a snap trap and others fasten to a multi-catch trap. Some devices rely on physical components becoming dislodged when the snap trap triggers, and some complete a type of circuit when an object —presumably a mouse — physically touches it. Others rely on a change in momentum or an infrared beam of light to detect a triggered snap trap or movement in a multi-catch device.
The overarching theme in all systems is one of rodent detection, data collection and notification. Every system collects useful information that is transferred from a single sensor to a hub or gateway, and then to a technician’s device to alert them of a capture. Some systems use e-mail to notify technicians and clients of captures, others use text messages, and others rely on push notifications.
