Innovative and unique treatments that resolve pest problems effectively
Rats are an every present concern for businesses, especially when rodents are foraging on the periphery or looking to find ways to enter a premise in search of food. Rats can be very persistent even gnawing through metal to get in, and if they do gain access into your premises they can spread diseases, cause damage and contaminate food and other products. For food processing, food retail and hospitality businesses in particular a rat infestation can have major health and safety implications as well as a negative impact on your reputation.
Rentokil’s AutoGate uses patented technology to intelligently control access to rodenticide for external rat baiting. It is a unique and innovative solution to permanent external rat baiting that ensures legal compliance (under the Biocidal Product Regulations) whilst delivering immediate, targeted protection against rat infestations before they find entry to your premises.
AutoGate is a ‘smart’ gate mechanism that secures the rodenticide from being accessed by non-target species. AutoGate will only be activated (to open and expose the rodenticide) when a rat has been detected. There are two infrared sensors on the unit which continuously pulsate light. Once the sensors are triggered 3 times by rat activity, the gate opens to allow the rat access to the rodenticide within the bait station. The gate will then close after a set period of time to prohibit access to non-target species. If the sensors detect further rat activity the gate will re-open to allow the rat access to feed again for a limited period.
