Artificial Intelligence in Pest Control: threat or opportunity?

Jan will explore whether AI is reshaping the landscape of pest control. Is AI a threat to traditional methods, or an opportunity to advance our work?

Does AI give us tools to monitor, predict, and manage pest populations? What is the place of smart traps and sensors to detect infestations at their earliest stages or employing predictive models that anticipate pest outbreaks based on weather patterns?

For some, the fear is that automation could reduce the need for human expertise. Is this fear realistic? Or does it just change the role of the professional?

Jan has 14 years’ experience in the pest control field and 26 years in ICT.

PestScan supports pest control companies of all sizes with innovative tools tailored to their needs. Their mobile app, business software, and client portal streamline operations, from scheduling to reporting.

With advanced remote monitoring and easy-to-use features, PestScan helps businesses improve efficiency, enhance service quality, and grow sustainably.
