What does the card walk cost you?
Glue boards are cheap. Reading them is not. Put in your own figures and see the labour that goes into inspection each year, and what it becomes when the count is read remotely.

With Insect Gate: one cartridge swap per point per year

Labour released each year
Assumes five minutes per point for the yearly cartridge swap and no routine visits in between. Hardware and lures are quoted separately and are not included here.
The number is only half of it
The card walk reads every point on a schedule whether or not anything happened. A remote count reports on the night something moves. The labour saving is real, but the larger change is that visits go to the rooms that rose, not to the list.
