Remote rodent monitoring
A rodent monitoring system that sees every trap, every event, every site - in real time, from anywhere.
- Real-time activity monitoring for every connected trap
- Instant notifications on captures, status, and service needs
- Centralized oversight across single sites, regions, and entire portfolios
- Automated documentation for compliance and ESG reporting
- 100% rodenticide-free - no manual bait checks required
What is remote rodent monitoring?
Remote rodent monitoring replaces physical trap inspections with real-time digital oversight.
Every connected trap reports its own status – captures, activity, battery, consumables – directly to the operator. Instead of periodic physical presence, rodent control becomes continuous digital visibility.
From routine inspections to a data-driven rodent monitoring system
Conventional pest control is built around scheduled visits: typically six inspections per location per year, regardless of whether anything has happened. Field data indicates 70–80% of these visits show no activity.
A remote rodent monitoring system inverts the logic:
- Inspections happen automatically, around the clock
- Technicians are dispatched only when intervention is needed
- Documentation is generated continuously, not retroactively
- Service is condition-based, not schedule-based
Operators implementing this model have reduced annual service visits from six to two – a 67% reduction – without compromising service quality.
Real-time visibility across every site
Aurotrap Manager provides a unified operational dashboard – phone, tablet, or computer. Every trap across every site, every region, every customer reports into the same system. Instant notifications alert operators the moment a capture is detected or a trap requires attention.
One platform, every site
Individual locations, regional portfolios, or national operations from a single interface.
Instant event notifications
Alerts the moment a rodent is captured, a CO₂ cartridge runs low, or a trap signals a service requirement.
Full operational history
Every capture, service event, and trap status logged automatically and stored indefinitely.
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.

A patented multi-catch trap with a sensor-triggered piston powered by a replaceable CO₂ cartridge. 10+ years of operational lifetime, modular serviceable components.
Where remote rodent monitoring delivers the most value
- Geographically dispersed portfolios with long driving distances between sites
- Rural and agricultural locations with limited technician coverage
- Industrial facilities and warehouses with many trap points
- Multi-site operators – restaurants, retail chains, logistics networks
- High-compliance environments – food production, healthcare, public institutions
- Sensitive or restricted-access locations – military installations, remote infrastructure
In low-density territories, technicians may otherwise drive 30,000–45,000 km annually per vehicle. Field implementations suggest approximately 25,000 of those kilometres can be eliminated through condition-based servicing.
Built for compliance and ESG reporting
Every event logged automatically. Every service intervention timestamped. Every report generated from operational data, not reconstructed from paperwork.
This frees approximately 46% of the time typically spent on rodent control administration.

FAQ
What is remote rodent monitoring?
Remote rodent monitoring replaces physical inspection of traps with real-time digital reporting. Each connected trap transmits its own captures, status, and service needs directly to the operator, from anywhere.
How does a rodent monitoring system replace physical inspections?
Instead of sending a technician on a fixed schedule to check whether anything has happened, the trap itself reports every event as it occurs. Technicians are then dispatched only when intervention is actually required – condition-based, not calendar-based.
What alerts do I get from a remote rodent monitoring system?
Aurotrap Manager sends instant notifications for captures, low CO₂ cartridge levels, battery status, and trap health issues. Alerts can be routed to specific technicians, managers, or teams based on role and site assignment.
Is remote rodent monitoring reliable in areas with poor cellular coverage?
The Aurotrap uses NB-IoT, a cellular protocol optimised for reach and low-power operation in exactly the environments – basements, warehouses, rural sites – where standard mobile signal is often weak. Coverage is significantly better than 4G/5G in these settings.
Can multiple technicians share access to the same monitoring system?
Yes. Aurotrap Manager uses role-based access designed for real teams – technicians, operations managers, administrators, and optionally customers all see exactly what they need, with permissions that scale as the operation grows.
How does remote rodent monitoring affect service contract pricing?
Most operators restructure contracts around outcomes and continuous oversight rather than a fixed visit count. This often supports equal or higher pricing while lowering the cost of delivery – improving contract margin rather than commoditising service.
Do I still need on-site visits with remote monitoring?
Yes, but far fewer. Site visits still happen for installation, servicing captured traps, replacing CO₂ cartridges, and periodic verification – but they are triggered by actual events, not by a calendar.
