Insect GatePlacement
On the path. Flush. Named for the room.
Placement decides how much a monitoring programme sees. Four rules cover most sites.
Place it where they walk
Wall and floor junctions, furniture legs, equipment plinths, stack ends. The housing must sit flush so nothing crawls under it. Do not hang it.
Commission before you leave
Open the app, name the unit for its room or bay, set the species line, and join the site network. A count should always point to a place.
One gateway, then a walk with the phone
Place the LoRaWAN gateway high and central. Walk the far rooms. If a unit cannot be heard, add a gateway or accept Bluetooth-only for that pocket.
Leave it in place for the year
Do not open the well to check the lure; the console tracks its health. Swap the cartridge when prompted. If counts look wrong, read the unit over Bluetooth before assuming an infestation.
Starting density
Density is a budget and a biology. We walk a first site with you and adjust from there.
| Bed bug | One per sleeping place, plus luggage benches in high-turnover rooms |
|---|---|
| Stored product | Tight on intake, packing and returns. Wider in quiet racking. Follow the wall. |
| Cockroach | Every warm machine, then a kitchen grid. Multi-family: the reported flat and its neighbours. |
| Silverfish | Bathrooms and stores in hotels. Stack ends and plant rooms in collections. |
