Patented species discrimination

The poison-free trap that knows what it caught.

Regulation is pushing pest control off rodenticides. The moment you take poison away, you need a trap that can tell a rat from a hedgehog and prove it. i-TRAP is a connected trap that uses on-device AI to identify the species it detects, act only on the intended target, and log a verified, timestamped record. Built for professional operators.

Granted patent

Species discrimination protected in the US, UK, EU, Australia and Switzerland to 2036.

On-device AI

Identifies the species locally and acts only on the intended target.

Built for operators

Hardware, recurring consumables and a per-device software subscription.

The problem

Take poison away and you hit the real problem: the blind trap.

Tightening EU and UK biocide rules are squeezing rodenticides out. At the same time, the food, retail and logistics clients who buy pest control increasingly have to prove to auditors that it was done, and done humanely. But a trap that cannot tell what it caught kills hedgehogs alongside rats, and proves nothing to anyone. Knowing what you caught is the capability the whole transition depends on.

01

Poison is being regulated out.

Biocide regulation is tightening across the EU and UK, and the industry is being pushed towards non-toxic control.

02

The alternatives are blind.

Conventional traps give operators no idea what they caught, and non-target wildlife gets killed anyway.

03

Clients want evidence.

End clients in food, retail and logistics need an evidenced, humane audit trail, not a bait box and a tick sheet.

The trap

See it. Identify it. Act only when it should.

A connected, poison-free trap with the intelligence on board. Four steps, every time.

01

Detect

The trap senses an animal entering and captures it without harm.

02

Identify

On-device AI recognises the species locally, inside the trap itself.

03

Act

Only the intended target is dealt with. Anything else is released unharmed.

04

Record

Every event is logged to the cloud as a verified, timestamped record.

The core species-discrimination method is patented and granted, not pending.

The platform

Every trap reports. Every event is on the record.

The trap is where it starts. The platform is where the value compounds for the operator.

01

Live monitoring

See the state of every device across the estate and know which ones need a visit before you roll a van.

02

Compliance audit trail

A species-identified, timestamped record of every event that you can hand to your client and their auditor.

03

Consumables reorder

Proprietary scent consumables, reordered through the platform so every trap stays effective.

04

Your brand on the service

Designed to run under the operator's own brand, so the service you sell is yours.

For professional operators

Built to make your service more valuable, not to replace it.

We sell to professional pest-control operators, and the product is built around their business.

01

Fewer wasted callouts

Know what has happened at every device before you send anyone to site.

02

A service you can prove

Give clients an evidenced, humane audit trail that answers the auditor's question before it is asked.

03

A new recurring-revenue line

Monitored, poison-free control is a subscription service you can sell on top of the visit.

Wildlife spared is the proof point that makes an operator's service saleable to its end clients.

Protected

Species discrimination is granted IP, not pending.

The core method is patented and granted in the US, UK, EU, Australia and Switzerland, with protection running to 2036. Anyone can build a connected trap. A trap that knows what it caught is what we own.
