For pest control companies

Run your rodent control operations on real data - and build a more profitable, scalable, and future-proof business.

The economics of pest control are changing

Pest control has operated on the same model for decades: scheduled bait station inspections, manual documentation, reactive interventions, rodenticides as the default.

Our field data shows 70–80% of routine visits find no activity. Customers in food production, healthcare, ESG-regulated industries, and the public sector are tightening requirements on documentation, transparency, and chemical use. And recruiting technicians for repetitive, low-value bait rounds is harder than ever.

Aurotrap is built for pest control companies who recognise this shift and want to lead it.

Three operational shifts Aurotrap enables

1. From schedule-based to condition-based servicing

Traditional contracts often specify six visits per location per year. Aurotrap replaces routine inspections with real-time monitoring – technicians visit when traps signal need, not when a calendar says so.

  • Up to 67% reduction in service visits
  • Significantly lower fuel use, vehicle wear, and CO₂ emissions
  • Higher technician utilisation and route efficiency
  • Capacity to expand contract volume without expanding headcount

2. From manual reporting to automated documentation

Every Aurotrap event is logged automatically and stored continuously. Reports generate directly from operational data – reducing administrative effort on rodent control by approximately 46% and freeing capacity for higher-value activities.

3. From rodenticide-dependent to rodenticide-free

Aurotrap is 100% non-toxic – eliminating secondary poisoning, environmental contamination, and the increasing regulatory and ESG pressure on anticoagulant use. A working alternative that meets professional effectiveness standards at scale.

How the Aurotrap works

1.  A rodent approaches

The rodent is lured in by bait. The open-tunnel design keeps neophobia low – rodents accept the trap faster than enclosed stations.

 2. A piston triggers, providing an instant kill

Sensors detect and verify strike position. The piston fires. CO₂-powered, ~30 kg of force. Instant kill, no chemicals.

 3. The rodent slides out – the trap resets

The rodent slides out by itself and the trap resets automatically, ready to strike again. ~80 activations per CO₂ cartridge.

4. Rodent report is sent

The event is reported. Capture, CO₂ level, battery, and trap health stream to the Aurocon platform in real time.

The Aurotrap system

Aurotrap Mobile

Technicians install and service through a smartphone app, with real-time alerts on captures, CO₂ levels, battery, and location.

Aurotrap Manager

The central hub, providing the overview of every trap, site, technician and more. Instant notifications, detailed statistics, compliance-ready reports.

The Aurotrap device

A patented multi-catch trap with a sensor-triggered piston powered by a replaceable CO₂ cartridge. 10+ years of operational lifetime, modular serviceable components.

A new business model for pest control

The most significant change Aurotrap enables isn’t operational – it’s strategic. When technicians no longer spend their time checking empty bait stations, their role changes: root-cause analysis, structural advisory, customer training, proactive intervention.

This is the shift from reactive pest control to preventive pest management. It changes what you sell, how you price, and how customers perceive the value of your service. Pest control companies adopting this model are repositioning themselves – from contracted bait checkers to advisory partners with continuous oversight and documented results.

FAQ

How does Aurotrap change my service contract structure?

Most operators restructure contracts around continuous oversight and outcomes, rather than a fixed number of visits. The value delivered to the customer increases – real-time monitoring, automated documentation, ESG compliance – while cost of delivery falls significantly.

ROI depends on portfolio profile, but the operational drivers are consistent: up to 67% fewer routine visits, approximately 46% less administrative time on rodent control, and up to 25,000 fewer kilometres driven per technician per year.

Yes, but it’s straightforward. Aurocon provides structured training on the device, Aurotrap Mobile, and Aurotrap Manager. Technicians install, service, and verify traps through the app – the workflow is designed to feel familiar to anyone experienced in pest control.

While a system like the Aurotrap can function on its own, some pest control operators use Aurotraps with other forms of pest control.

We provide Aurotrap API setup with third party software with large scale operations. This allows corporations connected to sizable software platforms to have direct integration with Aurotrap data without manual exports or double entry.

Contract revenue does not have to fall with visit count. Most operators reprice contracts around continuous monitoring, guaranteed response times, and audit-ready documentation – moving from “how many visits” to “what outcome” as the basis for pricing.

Yes. Non-toxic operation, automated ESG-ready reporting, reduced transport emissions, and 80% recycled materials all support customer procurement processes with formal sustainability requirements.

Individual sites are typically operational within one visit. Portfolio-wide rollouts are usually phased across weeks to months, starting with the highest-priority sites.
