Pest Connect Overview
Pest Connect is a system that enables remote monitoring of devices. Data from sensors are sent
to a Connect Control Panel. The Connect Control Panel establishes a secure connection to a
central server where the data is entered into a database.
Typical sensors that are used in the Pest Connect system are the Radar Connect mouse trap and
the AutoGate Connect, shown below in Figure 1.
A typical installation will have many sensors communicating to the Connect Control Panel. A
single Control Panel can manage up to 300 sensors and where necessary multiple Control Panels
could be deployed onto a site. In such a system if the sensors fail to connect to the Control Panel
they will scan for alternative Control Panels to ensure high levels of connectivity.

Product Description
Radar is a stand alone, battery powered unit that has been designed to
capture, kill and contain mice efficiently, hygienically and humanely. It is
designed primarily for high risk customers, such as food processing
plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing and computer suites, where there
is zero pest tolerance or conventional baiting is not allowed. However,
the many product features of Radar make it suitable for a wide range of
customers as it can operate in a variety of environments. Intruding mice
are captured as soon as they are detected, immediately reducing the risk
to the customer. They are then killed by concentrated release of carbon
dioxide (CO2) into the air tight unit. CO2is capable of killing mice
extremely rapidly and is widely recognised as a humane method of
control. The mouse is unconscious within 15-20 seconds and fatal levels
are reached within 45 seconds of the unit’s activation. Currently, under
existing legislation, CO2is approved for use as a rodenticide or exempt
from registration in many countries. CO2is being fully supported by
Rentokil for this use under the European Biocidal Products Directive.
Radar has been designed by Rentokil to exploit the travelling habits
of mice as opposed to more traditional methods which target their
feeding behaviours, e.g. baiting. Correctly installed units will typically
be placed at wall / floor junctions, relying on a mouse’s natural
curiosity and tendency to run against walls. Radar has two entrances,
one at each end of the unit, to allow mice to run along its
passageway. Two Infrared emitters are continuously pulsing light,
which is reflected off the mouse’s fur, bouncing back to the Infrared
detectors. This activates a circuit that immediately closes both
entrances, trapping the mouse inside a tightly sealed chamber.
Simultaneously, a pressurised canister is locked open to fill the unit
with carbon dioxide. The customer is provided with 24/7 pest control
and can be reassured that the product is both effective and humane,
reducing the risk to their stock and premises.
Radar signals the capture of a mouse sending a message to the Connect Control Panel and then
Server. A technician will receive an alert and arrive promptly to empty, clean, service and reset
the unit. Rigorous testing and quality controls have been implemented at every stage of the
manufacturing process to ensure that Radar is a high quality product that is capable of
supporting a high quality service proposition.
