Rats in the loft, mice behind the kitchen units, scratching under the floor at night. A normal treatment means traps or bait, then a return visit to see what happened, and in between you are left wondering whether anything has been caught.
Smart trapping takes the wondering out. We fit connected rat and mouse traps that tell us the moment they catch, so a catch is cleared promptly and you are not the one checking traps in the loft.
The same monitored trapping works for homes and businesses, all part of JG PestSmartCover.
Smart trapping for homes
Rats in the loft or mice in the kitchen, dealt with by traps not poison, and without you checking them yourself.
You are here
Smart trapping for businesses
Food businesses, warehouses, schools and out-of-hours sites, with a timestamped record for your audit file.
Why homeowners choose it
No poison in the house
Trapping instead of bait means no rodenticide where your children and pets live, and nothing poisonous for a pet to find.
No hidden carcass under the floor
A poisoned rodent dies wherever it ends up, often under a floor or inside a wall. A trapped one is in the trap, and we come and take it away.
You do not have to check
The trap tells us when it has caught. You are not climbing into the loft every morning to find out.
You know it is working
Each trap checks in on a schedule, so a quiet trap is known to be working, not just assumed to be.
How it works in your home
Survey
We find where they are running and how they are getting in: the loft, under the floors, gaps around pipes and behind the kitchen units.
Fit
Traps go along the runs they are actually using, inside standard bait stations, not scattered around the house.
Watch
Each trap reports over the mobile network. There is no hub to plug in and nothing on your Wi-Fi.
Clear and fix
A catch is cleared on a visit arranged for it, and we look at how they are getting in, so the gap can be closed and they are less likely to come back.
What the trap tells us
Ready
Set and waiting. It checks in on a schedule, so a quiet trap is confirmed working rather than assumed to be.
Catch
It has shut on a rodent. We are alerted straight away and arrange to clear it.
No catch
It has gone off without catching anything, so it needs resetting, and we know without anyone having to look.
The honest limitations
A connected trap needs a mobile signal to report, so a cellar or a thick-walled room needs the placement thought through. And a trap only catches what comes to it: if rodents are getting in through a gap, the real fix is closing the gap, and we would rather do that than fit more traps. If a straightforward treatment will do the job, we will tell you.
Covered, not just trapped
Smart trapping in your home is part of JG PestSmartCover, our monitored rodent cover: we fit the traps, they report around the clock and alert us the moment they catch, and a catch is cleared on a visit arranged for it. Like everything we do, the work is guaranteed.
Arranging a survey
Every home is different, so we start with a survey to see where they are and how they are getting in. Get in touch or send us your details and the team will come back to you.
