Envu has announced the divestment of its Rodent Monitoring System (RMS) to Woodstream Corporation, a global manufacturer of rodent and animal control products.
Featuring the latest IoT and sensor-based technology, the proprietary RMS is a wireless network of high-tech sensors that, when added to rodent traps, displays data from each monitor on a central RMS portal.
With its integrated data-analysis software, the innovative platform allows pest controllers and facility managers to monitor facilities more efficiently for rodents and track trends that might indicate a persistent issue. By retrofitting traditional rodent traps with the RMS system, pest control operators eliminate the need to manually check each trap — a task that can be very time-consuming in larger facilities.
“As a focused environmental science leader that’s dedicated to 360-degree innovation, Envu is committed to developing forward-thinking solutions in a variety of forms,” said Envu’s head of commercial operations, North America, Mark Schneid.
“We are proud to have developed the RMS in response to an industry and customer need; and we’re equally proud to pass the baton to a partner and leader in rodent control to continue to evolve and build upon this important digital platform.”
The Woodstream leadership team says this acquisition will help round out its portfolio of connected rodent control devices.
Woodstream vice president, Ashley Brown added: “By combining the RMS sensor technology and supporting platform with our best-in-class devices and infrastructure Woodstream can offer our customers an end-to-end fully integrated rodent monitoring system.
“The real-time data the system provides will help keep facilities safe and rodent-free in a more strategic, efficient and sustainable way.”
