“Our customers are professional authorised pest control operators, who know exactly where their customers need the alarm located, and if an alarm goes off, the pest controllers are the experts knowing exactly what needs to be done. We have now put the alarm in a solid rat trap killing the rat immediately and when the pest control operator picks up the rat, he can study the area to see if there are signs of more rats to come,” says Kim Lauridsen Hansen, CCO of TrapMe.
