Problem
Pest control operators must manually inspect bait stations to assess activity, which is labor‑intensive, time‑consuming, and prone to missed infestations. Existing solutions often require replacing equipment, adding cost and complexity to established pest management workflows.
Solution
Zepta offers a retrofit IoT module that integrates into existing bait boxes, converting them into connected stations. The device includes a precision scale that measures bait consumption in real time and transmits the data to a cloud platform. Users can monitor bait activity from a mobile app 24/7, receiving alerts when consumption exceeds predefined thresholds. By providing continuous, quantitative insight into infestations, Zepta enables more efficient scheduling of service visits and reduces on‑site maintenance effort by up to 80%.
Target Audience
Primary customers are professional pest control operators and property management firms that manage multiple bait stations across residential or commercial sites.
