World’s First Ever Fully Smart Pest Control Device Smashes Crowdfunding Target

An innovative designer inspired by a prototype created by his grandfather half a century ago has created the world’s first fully smart rodent control device using modern mobile technology to transform one of the home’s few remaining truly analogue products.

The Smart Mouse Trap is the future of modern pest control for homes and businesses around the world – kind to pets and kids, reusable, chemical free and linked to a smartphone app which removes the burden of effective pest control, particularly where multiple traps need to be set in hard to reach places.

Suitable for domestic and commercial or professional use, the Smart Mouse Trap is packed with cutting edge technology, bringing a truly modern mindset and smart home connectivity to an age old problem.

The super smart pest control device sends an SMS or email notification which notifies the device owner when a mouse has been caught, removing the need to manually check traps in out-of-the-way or inconvenient locations, thanks to cutting-edge Bluetooth connectivity with a 5000 sq ft / 465 sq m working field. For pest control professionals or those with larger properties such as hotels or office spaces to maintain, the Smart Mouse Trap also offers a statistic tracker, making it easy to chart the infestation.

Smart and sustainable, the Smart Mouse Trap is made entirely from recyclable plastic, uses natural bait rather than chemicals, has an unlimited re-use lifecycle and is clean and hygienic – making it a natural, responsible choice for properties with children, pets or vulnerable residents.

Simple to set up and use, the trap can be used to catch unwanted mice, rats and shrews both indoors and out and traps up to two rodents at any one time using nothing more than a small chunk of food. The pest control product has a built-in quick disposal system, meaning the user won’t have to touch the pest once caught.

The Smart Mouse Trap is the brainchild of IT professional, Donatas Zaveckas. Inspired by a design made by his grandfather 50-years ago which never made it into production, the thoroughly modern smart trap fuses this heritage prototype with the very latest in connectivity capability.

“My grandfather built a chemical-free mousetrap five decades ago, which still works perfectly to this day but sadly, he passed away before it could go into production,” he explains. “When I was growing up my grandfather said that the most important thing in life is to do what makes you happy and to help others. Bringing his invention in to the present day, would be a fitting tribute to my grandfather’s life philosophy. I realized that while smartphones have solved many problems, pest control was still stuck in the past. Until now – the Smart Mouse Trap sends you a notification when a mouse is caught, making modern pest control easier, safer and more effective.”

The Smart Mouse Trap is crowdfunding on Indiegogo – it surpassed its funding target within 24 hours of launch.
