Intro        Features



 Rat On Unsealed Garbage       The U-Trap-It System Ensures Management Plan Success

The best pest management plan, utilizing highly-trained technicians and the best equipment, will fail without proper implementation thus wasting all expended efforts and resources (tax dollars). Rather than relying on complaint calls, users of the U-Trap-It System will have the necessary information and plan organizational tools to manage a Proactive Pest Management Plan. With U-Trap-It the user will observe changes in pest population before they become a problem. With this information the user can target the specific area for treatment or additional effort following the true intent of an Integrated Pest Management Plan.

The U-Trap-It System records, tracks, and analyzes pest activity and other issues. It is the central organizational tool for Urban Pest Management and an IPM Plan. It is the key to ensure any pest management plan's success.

Synergy of Effort

Multiple pest management service companies or city agencies can utilize U-Trap-It to work as one to conquer tough urban pest and rodent issues. The U-Trap-It System will act as the central coordinating system to schedule device servicing, maintain service inspection records, analyze the information collected, and rectify sanitation and maintenance issues. With the U-Trap-It System in place there is a synergistic approach with all entities assured of the collective effort.

Integrated Pest Management

An Integrated Pest Management Plan requires historical pest information. Many performing pest management say they are using an IPM approach. However, without historical information there can not be an Integrated Pest Management Plan in use. Historical information is required in an IPM Plan to determine acceptable pest thresholds and is used to determine when and where response actions should be taken. It is possible, but not feasible, to collect this level of information using antiquated, traditional methods such as punch cards with written inspection records and analyzing them. The expense of that process precludes most managers from collecting the necessary level of information to conduct an IPM approach.

The U-Trap-It  System streamlines the collection process and performs the analysis. It provides detailed information not collectable by any other means. And, it does it easier, faster, and more accurately than any other method.

U-Trap-It Saves Time

Users report that U-Trap-It requires 25% percent less time to service devices as compared to using the antiquated punch card method. And, it does so while collecting far more detailed information and verifying the proper servicing of pest management devices. U-Trap-It also reduces the time consumed in many other areas of plan administration. This results in giving the technician more time to do their job - control pests - do it more effectively by providing information they have never experienced.

 Features

  • Tracks both pest & rodent activity in pest control devices and "wide area" locations throughout the city through use of GPS capabilities
    • GPS capabilities enable geocoding of all pest and rodent devices and sanitation and maintenance issues.
    • U-Trap-It comes with 67 pre-defined different pest types, containing scientific descriptions of each
    • Up to 5 different Pests can be identified with quantities of each per device location per inspection
    • Track Evidence of Activity = (Feeding on Bait, Nesting in trap, Rodent or Insect droppings)
  • Track pesticide & chemical dispersions
    • Pesticide Usages are tracked by location applied, amount dispersed, target pest, commodities treated, EPA number, lot number, concentration, application methods and rates, and technician who dispersed the pesticide along with his state license number
    • Multiple bait types can be used with quantities of each reported during bait style device inspections along with reason replaced (Feeding, Water Damage, Missing, or Old)
  • Provides technician with missed locations before they leave the service area
  • Track damage to devices
    • Damage types to be tracked is input by managers (i.e. missing, smashed, mechanical problems, no power, bulbs burned out, etc.)
  • Track components (bait used, glue boards, protective guards, pheromone lures, bulbs, etc.) replaced during an inspection or any specified time period
  • View historical trends of pest & rodent activity in different areas of the city or at a specific device location
  • Graph pest & rodent activity by a specific device location or area of the city
  • Display different areas of the city with an overlay of pest and rodent control devices displaying activity
    • An essential tool for IPM
  • Record keeping – All information collected is available in several different types of reports and graphs. Real time reports, comparisons, and graphs can be selected for any specified time frame, (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly, etc.)
  • Sanitation and maintenance issues
    • Track issues that would be conducive to pest activity
    • With the new Pocket PC devices you can even capture images of these problems and report issues to the proper department  for remediation
  • All information is collected by use of a Pocket PC Device. Date and time stamps are recorded for each location inspected or pesticide dispersed.
    • Be assured that all device locations have been inspected or record validate reasons for not inspecting
  • The U-Trap-It System verifies the servicing of all devices by service companies
  • Secure, easy web access with centralized database
