Rodents don't follow a schedule. They move at night, hide during the day, and can establish a foothold in your facility long before a routine service visit catches them. That's exactly why Ehrlich developed PestConnect, a suite of connected rodent monitoring devices that watch over your property 24/7.
Designed specifically for businesses subject to stringent regulations, our innovative solution detects and eliminates pests while minimizing environmental impact.
Traditional rodent control programs rely on scheduled weekly or monthly visits, which can leave activity unnoticed between services. PestConnect closes this gap by combining routine technician visits with continuous, 24/7 digital monitoring.
PestConnect uses infrared sensors and wireless technology to detect rodent activity the moment it happens. When a device is triggered, an alert goes straight to your local Ehrlich team, pinpointing the exact device, date, and time. That means a faster, more targeted response and less time with an active rodent problem in your facility. Activity data is also captured in PestNetOnline, helping our experts identify trends, investigate root causes, and recommend more effective long-term solutions.
Advanced sensors monitor your premises around the clock, providing continuous protection between scheduled visits. Automated alerts help ensure potential rodent activity is identified and addressed quickly.
PestConnect goes beyond detecting individual incidents. Our technicians use real-time activity data and long-term trends to identify emerging risks, intervene earlier, and help prevent minor activity from becoming a wider infestation.
Every alert identifies the specific device involved and when the activity occurred. This gives technicians the information they need to focus their response, investigate the source of the problem, and minimize disruption to your business.

Each PestConnect device is installed by your Ehrlich technician following a thorough site survey. Placement is strategic, based on your facility's layout, risk areas, and pest history. Once installed, the devices run continuously, feeding activity data into our PestNetOnline data management system.
PestNetOnline gives you full visibility into your program. Each device integrates with PestNetOnline, so all activity data is captured, timestamped, and available for reporting. You can access real-time alerts, trend reports, interactive maps, and audit-ready documentation, all in one place.
Your Ehrlich team uses this data to continuously refine your program over time, so protection improves as we learn more about your site.
Ehrlich's PestConnect portfolio includes four connected devices, each designed for a specific application:
A patented exterior bait station that uses a smart gate mechanism to restrict bait access to target rodent species only. Ideal for perimeter protection.
A high-performance connected rat trap with patented interlocking teeth and real-time alerts, delivering rapid response and audit-ready reporting for commercial facilities.
A wireless electronic monitoring system for interior use. It actively alerts to activity and captures mice, giving your team real-time visibility inside your facility.
Ehrlich has been protecting businesses across the eastern United States since 1928. In that time, one thing has never changed: the businesses most at risk from rodents are the ones that find out too late.
The data tells a clear story. According to analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data by Cinch, Philadelphia County leads the nation with 29.6% of households reporting rodent problems, the highest of any large county in the country. Counties in Massachusetts, including Essex, Suffolk, and Worcester, also rank among the top 10 nationally.
Washington D.C. consistently records the highest concentration of rodent complaints per capita of any major U.S. city. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic are, by any measure, among the most rodent-pressured regions in the country.
For commercial facilities in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, and the surrounding states, that pressure is a daily operational reality.
Traditional rodent programs rely on scheduled visits, typically weekly or monthly. Between those visits, activity can go undetected. A rodent problem that starts small can grow significantly in the time between service calls.
With 24/7 monitoring, any activity triggers an immediate alert. Your Ehrlich team can respond quickly, investigate the source, and take targeted action rather than waiting for the next scheduled visit. Over time, the data collected helps identify patterns, pinpoint entry points, and reduce the conditions that attract rodents in the first place.
This approach aligns with our integrated pest management philosophy, which focuses on prevention and long-term results rather than reactive treatments. PestConnect has been shown to resolve rodent activity up to twice as fast as traditional methods¹ while also helping to reduce rodenticide bait usage by as much as 60%². For businesses in food processing, healthcare, hospitality, and other regulated industries, that combination of speed, data, and reduced chemical use is a genuine operational advantage.
PestConnect is particularly well-suited to businesses where pest activity carries serious consequences, regulatory, reputational, or operational. These include:
No. PestConnect operates on an independent 4G cellular network. It does not require your facility’s Wi-Fi, nor does it integrate with your internal IT systems, firewalls, or hardware. It functions completely separately to ensure zero disruption to your operations.
The PestConnect Portfolio is a rodent management solution, which includes three distinct, proprietary, devices: Multi Rodent Trap Connect, Rat Riddance Connect, and T-Rex Connect . Multi Rodent Trap Connect allows the live capture of mice on facility interiors. Rat Riddance Connect eliminates rats on the interior and exterior. Dual AutoGate Connect can monitor for rodents on the exterior. PestConnect devices can be used in conjunction or independently. New devices for the PestConnect Portfolio are currently in trial and will be added in the coming years, expanding the type of pests covered by this advanced pest control solution.
When a device is triggered, an alert is sent immediately to your local Ehrlich team. Response times vary by location and contract, but our goal is always to get to you as quickly as possible, typically within 24 to 72 hours for non-emergency situations.
Yes. PestConnect's targeted approach means treatments are applied only where and when they're needed. This can significantly reduce overall rodenticide use, by as much as 60% compared to traditional programs². Devices like Rat Riddance Connect offer a non-rodenticide option for facilities that require it.
Yes. PestConnect creates an automated, timestamped digital trail of all activity. This data is easily exported via PestNetOnline, simplifying reporting for both internal and external audits. Our devices are compliant with the interior rodent device specifications of all major third-party audit standards.
That depends on the size of your facility, your pest history, and the areas that need monitoring. Your Ehrlich technician will conduct a full site survey and recommend the right number and placement of devices for your specific situation.
