The
U-Trap-It System Ensures Management Plan Success
"The failure to substantially impact rat population levels in
the past 50 years indicate that alternative control strategies for rat
infestation are needed to reduce the risk of rat-borne pathogen
spillover to the human population."
Johns Hopkins
University1
The U-Trap-It System is that breakthrough which enables Municipal Rodent
Departments to win the battle. It provides the means to Go ProActive in
your war on Rats.
Actual Use
Example - after one and half years of using a ProActive approach using
the
U-Trap-It System, rat complaints have been reduced over 90%. And, of the
calls that are now being received, over 90% of them are someone
complaining about their neighbor's overflowing trash tote. "There is no
other approach that will produce those results". Is burrow
baiting really accomplishing your goals? Is attempting to cleanup your
citizen's habits alone going to accomplish those results? Aren't you tired of handling
complaints calls? Now you can use the World's
leading rodent management service system to deliver
the most effective approach to municipal rodent control - ProActive
Rodent Management.
It's your choice! Call us to get started with a rodent
management plan proven to work far better than any other method or stay
by the phone and answer those complaints - and worry about voters'
support.
 There is no other system or method that
results in all that the
U-Trap-It System accomplishes.
It is the central command center for Urban Pest
Management and of any IPM Plan. It is the key to ensure the pest management
plan's success. The U-Trap-It System records, tracks, and analyzes pest activity and
other issues such as sanitation and maintenance issues. U-Trap-it makes
it easy to manage thousands of boxes and assures the proper servicing of
every one.
Rather than
relying on complaint calls to initiate control measures, which is reactive pest
control and also referred to as a Whack-A-Rat program, users of the U-Trap-It System 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
populations before they become a problem or see the success of the
measures they are putting in place to remedy an existing issue. With this information the user
can target a specific area for treatment
following the true intent of an Integrated Pest Management Plan.
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.

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 areaTrack 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 periodView historical
trends of pest & rodent activity in different areas of the city or at a
specific device locationGraph or map 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 companiesSecure, easy web access with centralized
database
