Anticimex SMART Technology Uses Digital Monitoring and Trapping to Protect Against Infestations
BASKING RIDGE, N.J., May 9, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Rats and other rodents are a continuous problem for municipalities, homeowners and businesses across the United States. Beyond the nuisance of offices, parks, schools, restaurants and other businesses and homes being invaded by these creatures, there are health and economic issues that these invaders cause, adding up into the billions of dollars and thousands of hours of lost productivity. Rodent and pest control services including Viking Pest Control in New Jersey, Killingsworth Environmental in Greater-Charlotte, North Carolina and Clark's Termite and Pest Control in South Carolina, North Carolina and Savannah, GA are finally making headway in controlling infestations by using new technology, Anticimex SMART: a eco-friendly, non-toxic, non-invasive digital monitoring and trapping system.
There are currently more than 50 SMART Cities in Europe (where Anticimex SMART was developed.) Already, there are numerous cities in New England, including Portland, Maine and Brookline, Massachusetts which have become the first US "SMART Cities" by installing Anticimex SMART Box and SMART Pipe systems to monitor and control rat populations in subterranean tunnels (sewers). As cities across the United States become greener and more connected, indications are that cities in New Jersey, North Carolina, and South Carolina will be the next SMART Cities, curbing this multi-billion-dollar problem with clean technology.
More than 4,400 patents have been issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for new mousetraps, which makes them the most frequently invented device in U.S. history. Developed in Europe, Anticimex SMART is a game-changing technology that is literally stopping rats and other rodents in their tracks with a non-invasive monitoring system and non-toxic electronic control devices.
Already in use in highly infested areas by cities, businesses and homeowners, SMART keeps an eye on rat and rodent activity and animal populations through its exclusive Electronic Rodent Monitoring (ERM) system.
The goal of creating SMART cities is to protect against infestations, which can save cities billions of dollars. Rodents cost the U.S. approximately $19 billion in economic losses each year.
How does SMART technology boost early detection of pests and make cities safer?
· SMART is like the motion sensor in a security system in your home mounted in the corner of rooms near the ceiling, like a burglar alarm for rats and mice. Sensors continuously report information on activity and catches allowing technicians to act quickly.
o Technicians are alerted on a 24/7 basis whenever there is motion at any of the SMART boxes. Reports are sent on a timely basis alerting headquarters of rat and rodent activity – can determine if additional SMART devices need to be installed.
· SMART Boxes and SMART Pipes are non-toxic and non-invasive, reducing the need for potentially harmful rodenticides.
o This improves sustainability efficiencies leading to greener cities, businesses and homes
o The traps are set in a property's or city's drainage or sewage system, preventing rats from coming into buildings.
· Anticimex SMART is approved for LEED Certified buildings
Data collected by SMART devices helps cities, businesses and residences better deploy resources, including solid waste enforcement, restaurant inspections and additional pest control treatments as needed. What city in the US will next become a "SMART City"?
