VIDEO: Insectram Awakens - AI integration and digital monitoring

CPD VIDEO

The pest control industry is changing fast. AI, smart traps and digital monitoring are no longer “nice to have” – they’re quickly becoming essential.

In this sponsored session, Craig from Insectram looks at how technology is reshaping pest management, from smart rodent traps and connected EFKs to AI-driven reporting and trend analysis. Drawing on nearly 30 years in the industry, Craig explains how digital monitoring supports compliance, and what auditors and major retailers are likely to demand next.

You’ll hear real-world examples of:

  • Smart traps that alert technicians instantly
  • Camera-enabled EFKs that allow live glue board analysis
  • AI tools that review historic site data and flag missed actions
  • Integrated dashboards that pull multiple manufacturers into one reporting system.

This video is sponsored.

All information is correct at the time of filming. This video is taken from BPCA's Digital Forum 37, 28 January 2026.
