T-Rex Connect: The connected rat trap built to perform

Real-time rat monitoring and non-toxic capture for commercial facilities

When a rat enters your facility, every hour matters. Traditional snap traps tell you nothing until someone physically checks them and, in a busy commercial operation, that could be days. T-Rex Connect is a high-performance, non-toxic connected rat snap trap that combines patented interlocking teeth with real-time wireless alerts, so your Ehrlich team knows the moment a rat is captured and can respond promptly.

How T-Rex Connect works

Standard snap traps require manual checking during scheduled visits. That means a capture, or a near miss, can go undetected for days. T-Rex Connect changes that. The moment a rat triggers the trap, the device sends an instant wireless alert via LoRaWAN to your PestConnect dashboard. Your Ehrlich technician is notified in real time and can respond to a confirmed catch, not an empty trap.

The trap itself is built to hold. Patented interlocking teeth make escapes virtually impossible,** and the IP67-rated housing keeps the device protected in wet, cold, or hard-to-reach environments, including cold stores, loading docks, and outdoor perimeters. With a five-year battery life, T-Rex Connect runs quietly in the background with no battery replacement visits and no gaps in your monitoring data.

Every catch is logged automatically in PestNetOnline with a date, time, and device location. Your Ehrlich technician reviews this data and responds accordingly, whether that means removing a captured rat, inspecting for entry points, or adjusting your program based on emerging patterns. When an auditor asks for your pest control records, the data is already organized, timestamped, and ready to review.

**Results may vary based on station configuration and environmental conditions.

Key features and benefits

T-Rex Connect is built around one core principle: every catch should be confirmed, documented, and defensible. Here's what that looks like in practice.

  • Engineered to help prevent escapes and near misses, so every strike is a confirmed catch with no ambiguity in your data.*
  • A more powerful strike means cleaner, more reliable results.**
  • No rodenticide required, supporting zero-tolerance baiting policies and reducing environmental risk.
  • IP67-rated housing keeps the device performing in demanding environments.
  • No battery replacement visits means no disruption to operations and no gaps in your monitoring record.
  • Removable bait cup supports hygienic, HACCP-compliant servicing.
  • Tested and approved for use in food handling and food processing facilities.

*Results may vary based on station configuration and environmental conditions.
**Based on third-party mechanical testing of average static clamping force on six snap traps.

Frequently Asked Questions

T-Rex Connect is suitable for both interior and exterior use. During a site survey, your Ehrlich technician will identify the highest-risk locations, typically along walls, near entry points, loading bays, and areas with known or suspected rat activity. Placement is based on your facility's layout and specific risk profile.

A standard snap trap requires manual checking during scheduled visits, which means captures can go undetected for days. T-Rex Connect sends an immediate wireless alert when a rat is captured, so your Ehrlich team can respond quickly instead of at the next service visit. It also logs every activation automatically in PestNetOnline.

T-Rex Connect's patented interlocking teeth deliver a clamping force nearly 50% greater than competing snap traps, based on third-party mechanical testing of six snap traps. This helps prevent near misses (situations where a rat triggers the trap but escapes) reducing the risk of ongoing activity at your site.

Yes. Every activation is automatically recorded with a date, time, and device location in PestNetOnline. This creates a clear, searchable audit trail that you can present to auditors from bodies such as the BRC, SQF, or AIB, without relying on manual records.

Yes. T-Rex Connect is HACCP-certified, confirming it has been tested and approved for use in food handling facilities. It's also suitable for pharmaceutical and other highly regulated environments.
