Smart IoT Sensors for Pest Detection

How IoT Sensors Catch Infestations Early

Pest control has traditionally relied on manual checks, reactive treatments, and recurring inspections—an approach that is both time-consuming and expensive. Spotta introduces a smarter model using IoT sensors to automate the detection process. Their wireless devices act as constant sentinels, alerting users the moment pests are detected. For industries like hospitality and agriculture, where infestations can quickly escalate, early warning isn’t just useful—it’s essential.

What sets Spotta apart is its commitment to continuous, autonomous monitoring. Instead of scheduling visits or relying on chance detection, these connected devices track pest activity around the clock. This shift moves pest management from a reactive model to a preventive one, where data drives timely action.

What Makes Spotta’s Technology Practical?

Spotta’s system is compact, battery-powered, and easy to deploy. Each sensor uses pheromone lures and optical recognition to detect specific pests such as bedbugs or moths. Once activity is identified, the sensor transmits data to a cloud dashboard in real-time. There’s no need for site visits unless the system confirms pest presence. This means fewer disruptions for hotels, lower maintenance for farms, and a sharper response when intervention is needed.

These devices also work at scale. For example, a single hotel can install dozens of Spotta sensors across rooms and common areas. In agriculture, units can be placed along crop rows or inside storage areas. With their long battery life and low-maintenance design, they offer year-round coverage with minimal overhead.

Industries That Benefit from IoT-Driven Pest Monitoring

• Hospitality: Hotels use Spotta to monitor for bedbugs discreetly, avoiding reputational damage and costly room closures.
• Agriculture: Farmers install Spotta to detect insects in grain silos, greenhouses, and processing facilities before damage spreads.
• Facilities Management: Public buildings like schools or libraries use it to prevent infestations from becoming health hazards.
• Housing Associations: Remote monitoring supports property managers across multiple sites with centralized alerts.
• Warehousing: Storage operators benefit from early detection that protects inventory without daily site checks.
