MADISON, Wis. - Bell Laboratories announced the latest addition to its iQ line-up: the new Mouse iQ smart mouse trap. Powered by Bell Sensing Technologies, Mouse iQ contains Bluetooth technology, meaning PMPs can use their smart device to check traps up to 100 feet away. Mouse iQ has a small footprint so technicians can target mice exactly where they travel (heat registers, drop ceilings, rafters, etc.).
With Mouse iQ, pest management professionals can provide more efficient service, giving technicians extra time to perform better pest control and ultimately grow their business, the company said. A recent time study conducted at Bell’s 600,000-square-foot manufacturing facility and warehouse found that PMPs can service accounts set with iQ devices 78% faster compared to those set with standard traps and bait stations.
Mouse iQ also improves workplace safety because PMPs can check devices from a distance. Technicians don’t need to crawl into tight spaces or climb ladders to check empty traps – avoiding unnecessary injuries.
