About
Trapview is the world's leading digital pest-monitoring solution, designed for farmers, crop advisors, foresters, and agribusinesses seeking real-time visibility into pest activity. The platform combines hardware smart traps (including the flagship Aura UV light trap), AI-based insect recognition validated by human experts within 24 hours, and advanced predictive models to forecast pest population dynamics and optimal intervention timing. With a database of 30M+ validated insect images covering 60+ species, Trapview's AI delivers best-in-class accuracy for photo-based pest identification. Automated trap cleaning and alerting capabilities eliminate repetitive drive-arounds, while in-app scouting tools turn existing manual traps into connected data sources—extending coverage at low cost. The platform scales from a single farm to a cooperative-wide monitoring grid. Trapview integrates seamlessly with farm management software through open APIs, and provides traceable, audit-ready records to support IPM compliance, sustainability reporting, and supply-chain traceability. Specialized solutions exist for vineyards, row crops, vegetables, orchards, forestry (including bark beetle monitoring), and food storage. Expert agronomists provide a 48-hour onboarding assessment, in-season data interpretation, and annual strategic reviews. By enabling precise treatment timing, Trapview helps growers reduce insecticide use, protect crop quality, and advance more responsible, sustainable farming practices globally.
Key Features
- AI Insect Recognition with Human Verification: Photo-based pest identification powered by a 30M+ image dataset covering 60+ species, with human expert verification completed within 24 hours for maximum accuracy.
- Automated Smart Traps: Always-on smart traps (including the Aura UV light trap) provide continuous, real-time detection and automated cleaning to minimize manual field visits.
- Predictive Population Modeling: Advanced analytics and forecasting models track pest development stages and predict flight peaks, enabling precise and timely crop protection interventions.
- API Integration & In-App Scouting: Plug Trapview data into existing farm-management systems via open API, and convert manual traps into connected data sources using the built-in field scouting app.
- Audit-Ready Compliance Reporting: Traceable, field-to-retail records simplify IPM compliance, sustainability reporting, and supply-chain accountability for growers and agribusinesses.
Use Cases
- Vineyard managers monitoring grape moth populations to time targeted insecticide applications and reduce residues on harvested fruit.
- Orchard growers tracking codling moth and other key pests across large fruit-production estates without constant physical trap inspections.
- Foresters deploying bark beetle traps across remote woodland areas to detect outbreaks early and coordinate timely interventions.
- Agribusiness cooperatives building regional pest-monitoring networks across multiple member farms to share data and coordinate district-level responses.
- Food storage operators monitoring grain and commodity pests in warehouses to maintain quality standards and comply with food-safety audit requirements.
Pros
- Reduces Field Visits and Operational Costs: Automated monitoring and smart alerts eliminate unnecessary drive-arounds, freeing agronomists to focus on decision-making rather than data collection.
- Proven Global Scale: Trusted by farmers, cooperatives, and agribusiness leaders in 50+ countries, with over a decade of real-world validation across diverse crops and climates.
- End-to-End Expert Support: Dedicated agronomist guidance from setup through the full season—including 48-hour onboarding, real-time consultation, and annual strategy reviews.
- Supports Sustainability Goals: Precise intervention timing reduces unnecessary insecticide applications, supporting IPM compliance, lower residue levels, and sustainability certifications.
Cons
- Hardware Investment Required: Full functionality requires purchasing and deploying proprietary smart trap hardware, which adds upfront cost compared to purely software-based solutions.
- Enterprise-Oriented Pricing: The platform is positioned for professional growers and agribusinesses; pricing and demo-first sales may be a barrier for smallholder farmers with limited budgets.
- Niche Application Domain: Trapview is purpose-built for pest monitoring in agriculture, forestry, and food storage—it has no utility outside these specific verticals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of pests and crops does Trapview support?
Trapview monitors 60+ insect species across grapes, row crops, vegetables, orchards, forestry (including bark beetles), and food storage environments. New pest species and crop programs are continually added.
How does the AI insect recognition work?
Smart traps capture high-resolution photos of insects. Trapview's AI analyzes and identifies species from a library of 30M+ validated images. Each identification is human-verified by entomology experts within 24 hours to ensure accuracy.
Can Trapview integrate with my existing farm management software?
Yes. Trapview offers open API integrations that allow pest monitoring data to flow directly into your existing farm management, ERP, or decision-support systems.
Is Trapview suitable for smaller farms or cooperatives?
Trapview scales from individual farms to cooperative-wide monitoring grids. The in-app scouting feature also allows lower-cost coverage by turning existing manual traps into connected data sources.
How does Trapview help reduce insecticide use?
By providing real-time pest population data and predictive flight-peak forecasts, Trapview enables growers to time treatments precisely—avoiding unnecessary sprays and reducing overall chemical inputs while maintaining crop protection efficacy.
