iQ products will cost you less
Traditional traps and bait stations may seem like the right choice because their upfront cost is less expensive. However, it’s been proven that if pest control businesses take advantage of iQ products, they will save money on overall costs, optimize their labor, and unlock new business opportunities.
iQ products streamline service
The main way iQ products save pest control businesses money is simple: they streamline labor.
Standard rodent control products cost less – at first. However, the time it takes to service traps and bait stations adds up. iQ products solve this problem.
For example, iQ products automatically record rodent activity with integrated sensors. Then, Bluetooth technology allows technicians to check iQ traps and bait stations from up to 100 feet away with their smart device and the free Bell Sensing app. The app then instantly shows PMPs which devices in range have rodent activity and captures.
A recent study conducted by Bell proved a technician can service an account with iQ devices 78% faster compared to one set with traditional products.
This statistic can be hard to visualize, so instead imagine an account that has 100 standard mouse traps. Servicing each one takes time, especially if technicians need to check behind equipment or in crawl spaces. If only 22 traps have captures, that means the technician lost valuable time checking 78 empty traps.
Now imagine the same scenario, but with 100 Mouse iQ snap traps. Instead of checking every individual trap, the technician can use their smart phone to see which traps have captures. That means technicians only need to check 22 traps – instead of 100 – because they know exactly which traps have captures.
The efficiency offered by iQ products makes pest control companies’ labor and dollar go farther. 78% faster service means spending 78% less on labor to service that account. For example, if servicing a particular account with traditional products costs $100 in labor, servicing it with iQ products would only cost $22.
These savings quickly add up and can create exciting business opportunities.
iQ products give your business room to grow
iQ traps and bait stations allow PMPs to scale their businesses and land larger clients.
Servicing accounts set with traditional traps and bait stations limits how much work can be done. No matter how hard a technician works, they can only check so many traps and bait stations each day.
Because iQ products streamline service, pest control companies are better able to focus on growth and take on new clients.
With the free Bell Sensing portal, these benefits are multiplied. Unlike many other smart rodent control devices, there is no subscription cost or fee to use iQ products. After each service, rodent activity data is automatically uploaded to the portal and organized into easy-to-read reports. These reports track bait usage, historical trends, and identify rodent activity hot spots. This data empowers PMPs with the knowledge they need to target infestations where it counts, while delivering higher-quality service.
Customers also directly benefit from iQ data, beyond receiving better service. For example, hot spot data can show customers where they need to do exclusion work at their property. iQ service reports also show customers the difference their rodent control program is making at the account.
