PLANT DESIGN & FITOUT
RAPID RESPONSE MOBILE APP
A new free app that offers instant access to pest control services has been launched by Adams Pest Control.
The technology gives companies a new way to gain a rapid response to pest problems via a free Andoid and Apple app to their mobile device.
“This is a good way for clients to communicate with us if they have a problem as they can action very easily,” Adams director and general manager Peter Taylor says.
“This way, they just push the app on their smart phone, pop their location into the map and they can also take a photo and push send. We call them back and arrange a technician to go out and fix the problem.”
ADAMS Pest Control has developed a new electronic monitoring service that can map pest hotspots and then measure the success of pest management strategies.
The first part of the new offering is called Data Collect, and this sees sensors placed to collect data that reveals where the most pest activity is located, and the frequency of that activity.
The second part is Data Protect, which sees sensors placed inside baiting devices to gather and share data on pest activity in each location after the hot spots are mapped, and a strategic baiting plan has been rolled out.
The data is transmitted via a next generation cellular
network and is stored in
the cloud, according to Adams director and general manager Peter Taylor.
“We have been working on this technology for nine years,” Taylor says. “It’s taken a long time to perfect. We’ve just
starting rolling out these services and already have three major clients, plus we’re in talks with two more, so we are happy with the takeup.”
Adams handles a variety of pest problems including cockroaches and rodents. ✷
