How do pest controllers work with digital traps day to day?

They no longer visit every checkpoint by the calendar, but go specifically to where a digital trap reports a catch or activity. The remaining stations are still monitored around the clock and report every day that everything is quiet. The success stories of Hackbarth, Bougé, Sonnenburg and SchädEx show what this looks like in practice.

How do I convince my customers of digital pest control?

With the advantage that matters to the business in question: costs, the environment, efficiency or safety in the audit. An emergency job is often the best demonstration, because the customer sees within a few days what the monitoring delivers. Practical tips for the sales conversation are in the Acquisition guide .

Is Permanent Monitoring worth it for my pest control business?

It depends on your sites: the number of stations, distance and inspection interval determine how much time you save. In our sample calculation with 100 sites, around 1,200 working hours a year are freed up that can go into new customers. At Bougé, an emergency job turned into an ongoing contract. In a free consultation, we run the numbers with your own sites.

How do I get started with digital pest control?

Ideally with a single site. The Starter Set contains everything you need to switch one customer to digital traps, including a gateway, and you have three months to test the system in everyday work.

Can I talk to one of the pest controllers from the success stories?

Yes, just ask us about it in your consultation. We will put you in touch with a business in a comparable situation, provided they agree. That way you hear first-hand how the switch works in everyday practice.

Why our customer relationship is different

We don't believe in a one-sided vendor-customer relationship. We are digitizing pest control on equal footing, in a partnership with the businesses that use the system every day.

That is why we actively involve you in product development, so you get exactly the tools you need for your work. Four businesses explain below what this looks like in practice.

No excuses when it comes to going digital

“There is no customer who doesn't benefit from it.”Sebastian Hackbarth

The company's broad customer base is fully digital, with every kind of business on board, from bakers to farmers.

Finances, ethics, the environment, efficiency: digital pest control offers every business its own advantage. The pest controller's job is to find the problem that can be solved for that particular customer.

Your takeawayDon't look for the customer who wants digital. Look for the problem that digital solves for them.

First experience through emergency pest control

“And ever since, we've been regulars there.”Niklas Ertan Treu, Managing Director

From emergency pest control to Permanent Monitoring: this is how the very first use of digital trap systems went at the long-established Aachen company.

What matters, he says, is simply showing the customer how the system works in practice. Emergency pest control offers a scenario in which the benefits become visible especially quickly, and a satisfied emergency customer often becomes a Permanent Monitoring customer.

Your takeawayAn acute infestation is the best demonstration: within days, the customer sees what the system can do.

On the safe side with Permanent Monitoring

“Fast. Simple. Safe. Done.”Michael Prior, Technical Manager

After a lengthy treatment with toxic bait, the team asked itself: there must be something better, simpler and faster to get infestations like this reliably under control.

Today, this is how the company argues in customer meetings: the route with digital traps may be a bit more expensive, but it offers considerably more safety.

Your takeawaySell safety, not the price: the customer buys the result, not the trap.

Tracking down the cause with digital tools

“For five, six weeks everything was quiet, and then suddenly it all started.”Ivette Laubach

At first, the pest controller couldn't really picture what digital pest control would be.

Then the remotely monitored snap traps in Permanent Monitoring became an early warning system, and the trigger data quickly led to the cause. In the interview, she explains what other advantage she discovered when working with digital traps.

Your takeawayWhen and where a trap triggers is a finding: it gets you onto the cause faster than the next round.
