About
TrapSensor is a smart pest control platform developed by Alert House ApS in Copenhagen, Denmark. It combines electronic snap traps with a cloud-based monitoring system, giving Pest Control Operators (PCOs) and exterminators a real-time overview of rodent activity across all their customer sites — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Traditional pest monitoring requires time-consuming on-site visits with delayed data. TrapSensor eliminates this by sending instant notifications when a rodent is caught or detected, pinpointing the exact location of the activity. This enables PCOs to respond faster, allocate resources more efficiently, and build data-driven extermination strategies. The platform's online portal is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, allowing operators to review communication logs and catch histories for each trap individually. Transparent reporting features make it easy to share activity data with clients, building long-term trust in pest control services. TrapSensor is also a green, non-toxic solution. Because mechanical snap traps kill rodents instantly and make them easy to locate, they are ideal for sensitive industries with zero-tolerance policies for rodent activity — including food production, pharmaceuticals, hospitality, restaurants, and facility management. By eliminating the need for rodenticides, TrapSensor reduces environmental impact while maintaining high levels of pest control efficacy. A free trial is available for PCOs looking to evaluate the system.

- A hotel chain uses TrapSensor to provide transparent rodent activity reports to their facility management team, demonstrating proactive pest control and maintaining guest safety standards.
- An exterminator uses historical catch data from TrapSensor to identify high-activity zones in a warehouse and redesign their trap placement strategy for more effective prevention.
- A pharmaceutical company replaces rodenticide-based pest control with TrapSensor mechanical traps to comply with non-toxic environment requirements while maintaining 24/7 rodent surveillance.
Pros
- Eliminates Unnecessary Site Visits: Real-time notifications mean PCOs only need to visit a site when activity is confirmed, saving significant time and travel costs.
- Ideal for Sensitive Industries: Non-toxic mechanical traps meet zero-tolerance requirements in food, pharmaceutical, hotel, and restaurant sectors.
- Intuitive Portal: The online dashboard is simple and user-friendly, requiring minimal technical knowledge to operate effectively.
- Continuous Server-Side Monitoring: TrapSensor's server actively monitors devices on behalf of operators, reducing manual oversight requirements.
Cons
- Hardware Dependency: The system requires physical trap hardware to be purchased and installed at each site, adding upfront cost and logistics.
- Connectivity Requirements: Remote monitoring relies on network connectivity at each client site, which may be a limitation in some locations.
- Niche Use Case: The platform is specifically designed for pest control professionals, limiting its applicability outside the PCO and facility management industries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is TrapSensor designed for?
TrapSensor is designed primarily for Pest Control Operators (PCOs) and exterminators who manage rodent monitoring across multiple client sites. It is also well-suited for facility managers and businesses in sensitive industries like food production, hospitality, and pharmaceuticals.
