About
Traplinked is a comprehensive digital pest management system designed for businesses across food production, warehousing, hospitality, and facility management, as well as professional pest control operators. At its core, Traplinked deploys smart sensor modules — JERRY (snap-trap monitoring), TOM (motion monitoring), TrapSensor, and the new JERRY BAIT (bait box monitoring) — to deliver a real-time digital map of all pest control checkpoints. Data collected from these devices is accessible via the Traplinked App and web dashboard, giving operators instant notifications when traps are triggered or activity is detected. The platform supports data-based identification of pest entry points, enabling targeted prevention rather than reactive treatment. Automated, gap-free documentation significantly reduces manual reporting effort and simplifies compliance during audits. Traplinked is particularly relevant in light of the German regulatory change effective July 1, 2026, which bans unconditional permanent baiting (BUD); the relevant authority explicitly recommends remote-controlled digital systems like Traplinked as a compliant alternative. By reducing reliance on toxic chemicals, cutting unnecessary site visits, and minimizing food loss due to infestations, Traplinked helps organizations lower costs, improve sustainability, and maintain regulatory compliance. The system is suitable for pest control professionals scaling their service offering as well as facility managers who want to digitize their existing pest management protocols.
Key Features
- Real-Time Sensor Monitoring: JERRY and TOM sensor modules deliver instant notifications when traps are triggered or pest activity is detected, providing a live digital map of all control points.
- Automated Documentation: All pest control activity is logged automatically, creating gap-free, audit-ready records that eliminate manual reporting and simplify regulatory compliance.
- JERRY BAIT Bait Box Monitoring: The new JERRY BAIT module tracks bait consumption and in-box motion, with customizable alert thresholds for activity levels and bait weight.
- Data-Driven Entry Point Analysis: Aggregated monitoring data helps identify pest entry routes so operators can focus prevention efforts where they are needed most, reducing chemical usage.
- Multi-Type Pest Monitoring: Supports snap-trap monitoring, bait box monitoring, insect monitoring, and motion detection within a single unified platform and app.
Use Cases
- Food production facilities using real-time trap monitoring to detect rodent activity instantly and prevent product contamination.
- Professional pest control companies managing dozens of client sites remotely from a single dashboard, reducing unnecessary service visits.
- Warehouses and logistics centers automating pest control documentation to pass hygiene audits without manual record-keeping.
- Facility managers transitioning away from permanent baiting to comply with the 2026 BUD regulatory change in Germany.
- Hospitality and retail businesses proactively preventing pest infestations to protect brand reputation and ensure food safety compliance.
Pros
- 24/7 Automated Oversight: Continuous monitoring without manual site visits means faster response times and fewer missed infestation events.
