Insect Gate

Continuous insect monitoring

Know where insect activity is happening, without inspecting every monitor.

Insect Gate continuously monitors crawling-insect activity and reports events remotely, helping pest-management teams move from routine inspection to targeted intervention. Dual optical sensing tracks movement through each entrance, and LoRaWAN keeps whole properties visible from one console.

Most pest inspections find nothing.

Traditional monitoring still sends a technician to inspect every monitoring point, including the great majority where nothing has happened. Insect Gate changes the question from "have we checked every monitor?" to "where has activity actually occurred?"

Traditional monitoring

  • Physical inspection
  • Periodic visibility
  • Manual recording
  • Labour scales with monitor count

Insect Gate

  • Continuous monitoring
  • Remote event reporting
  • Automatic history
  • Attention directed by activity

Result

  • Fewer unnecessary checks
  • Faster visibility
  • Better audit trail
  • More scalable service delivery

From scheduled inspection to exception-based pest management.

Monitor continuously. Inspect only when something happens.

Six steps from placement to a technician visit that is actually needed.

01

Deploy

Place monitors on the recommended monitoring strategy for the site and commission each one in the installer workflow.

02

Attract and sense

A replaceable lure for the target pest raises the chance that target insects investigate. Two analogue optical beams at each entrance record direction, timing and signal shape as they pass.

03

Report and act

Events reach the console over LoRaWAN with device health alongside. The pest-management team investigates locations showing meaningful activity rather than every monitor in turn.

All six steps in detail

An insect monitor that knows when something moves in, and when it moves out.

Each Insect Gate entrance uses two optical sensing beams. The order in which they are crossed gives the direction of movement, and because the signals are sampled as analogue values rather than a simple on or off, transit timing, signal attenuation and waveform shape carry characteristics of whatever passed through.

Combined with a target-specific lure and local signal processing, that is a richer monitoring signal than a conventional beam-break counter.

The sensing in detail

Two analogue beams at each entrance. The order they are crossed gives direction; the shape of each signal gives transit time, attenuation and waveform features.

Detailed sensing without a camera.

Camera-based monitoring can provide rich information, but it brings power consumption, image handling, bandwidth and privacy considerations with it. Insect Gate takes a different approach: dual analogue optical sensors measure the passage of insects without capturing photographs or video.

That keeps the system discreet, low power, low bandwidth and suitable for occupied rooms.

No photographs. No video. Just monitoring data.

Every monitored location. One view.

The console shows each property, floor and room with its last communication, device health, recent activity and an attention state: quiet, activity detected, increasing activity, inspection required, under treatment, post-treatment monitoring.

Alerts are limited to what changes a decision: first activity, repeated activity, a threshold you set, a device offline, a service requirement.

90-day pilot

Run Insect Gate alongside the monitoring you already trust.

10 monitors, a gateway where the building needs one, 90 days of monitoring. Keep your current process in place and compare the results directly.

  • 10 Insect Gate monitors
  • One gateway where the building needs it
  • 90 days of monitoring access
  • Initial lure set
  • Deployment planning and onboarding
  • Activity reporting throughout
  • End-of-pilot review with both teams

£1,250plus VAT, for the full 90 days

The full pilot fee is credited against the first annual deployment contract when 100 or more monitors are rolled out within 60 days of the pilot ending.

Simple pricing based on monitored locations.

Built to be measured, not believed.

Every Insect Gate pilot runs alongside existing monitoring, so customers compare detection, timing, device reliability, operational effort and intervention outcomes against the process they already trust.

As deployment data grows, aggregated performance figures will be published here. Until then, the pilot is the evidence.

Designed to be trusted by the people who act on it.

Direction, not just a count

Two beams per entrance give inward and outward movement separately, so an event is more than a broken beam.

Non-target rejection

Designed to reject common non-target events using direction, timing and analogue optical characteristics. Uncertain events can be marked unknown rather than forced into a class.

Timestamped and exportable

Every event carries a time. History exports as CSV, so the record lives in your file.

Health, not silence

Devices report battery and last communication with every uplink. A quiet room and an offline unit look different on the console.

No Wi-Fi in the room

Monitors use LoRaWAN rather than the property's Wi-Fi. One gateway can connect a property, subject to building construction and radio environment.

Glue boards alongside

Every pilot keeps existing monitoring in place for the full period, so the results are compared, not assumed.
