Q: What is Anticimex SMART?
A: Anticimex SMART consists of the Smart Eye, Smart Catch, Smart Box, Smart Pipe, and Smart Connect, all exchanging information with each other and back to Viking’s central office. The devices determine where the rodent pressure exists, enabling the Smart Catches and Smart Boxes to be moved to critical locations as hot spots of activity located and tracked. When a catch is detected, Viking’s professionals will be notified, and we will make arrangements to come out to empty the traps and relocate the equipment as necessary. As a Viking client, our team handles rodent concerns so you can focus on your business!

The location of the devices may change over time based on the data received from the sensors, with decisions made based on data, not intuition.
