Keep Municipal Pest Populations Under Control with SMART Cities
There’s a lot that goes into making Carolina cities, towns, and communities welcoming and safe. Keeping pest populations in check with efficient ongoing rat control strategies is an important part of that. However, that’s no easy feat with rapid growth, aging infrastructures, complicated layouts, and other factors to consider.
Traditional mice and rat control methods aren’t always effective anymore, especially when it comes to protecting challenging environments like parks, communal living environments, and public buildings. But that’s where Anticimex SMART Cities, from the rat exterminator experts of Anticimex Carolinas, comes in.
SMART Cities leverages our innovative, environmentally responsible rodent control technology to eliminate rodents both above and below the streets of your city. Easily and seamlessly protect downtown areas, municipal facilities, and high-risk neighborhoods by detecting and destroying rodent infestations before they have a chance to escalate and hurt your city.
What Is Anticimex SMART Cities?
SMART Cities brings our groundbreaking wireless pest control strategies and tech to municipal, public, and shared spaces. It’s the same cutting-edge Anticimex SMART system Carolina homeowners and business owners have trusted for years, upscaled with the needs of cities, residential communities, and municipal infrastructure in mind.
In other words, this isn’t municipal pest control as you know it on any level. It’s a proactive, technologically predictive approach that takes care of existing pest problems fast, stops new ones from taking hold, and keeps Carolina cities safer for everyone. No guesswork, dangerous products, or outmoded methods involved.

SMART Sensor Technology
“SMART City”
Concept
- Detailed site evaluations of target areas to identify deployment above grade or in sewer system
- Deployment of equipment to hotspots to reduce pressure
- Data analysis to determine reductions in population
“SMART City”
Data
- Visual representation to determine hotspots for rodent control and additional efforts that may be needed
- "Gatekeeper" monitoring to ensure pest pressure does not rise
TRADITIONAL PEST CONTROL
- Monitoring system requires physical readings
- Provides no information or alert as to when activity has occurred
- Impossible to accurately quantify the level of rodent infestation
- No focus on sewers, which is often the root cause of city-wide infestations
- Usually relies on harmful products
ANTICIMEX SMART PEST CONTROL
- Actively collects and sends information when there is activity
- Activity is automatically date and time stamped
- Provides predictive analysis capability, eliminating guesswork
- Includes a unique trap designed for sewers
- Non-toxic and sustainable
How Anticimex SMART Cities Addresses Rodent Problems
How do we implement our next-level rodent control strategies on an effective citywide basis? Here’s a closer look at how Anticimex SMART Cities works to keep rodents under control in your community or public space.
Thorough smart device coverage
Next, we install our cutting-edge sensors and control equipment in key locations to help reduce population pressure. Here’s a brief look at the equipment involved:
"SMART City" Equipment
Smart Eye
Smart Box
SMART Connect Minis
Smart Pipe
SMART Sense Mini
Smart Sense Mini can detect both cockroaches and moths by monitoring and attracting the insects with pheromones. Provides detailed analytics to combat insect infestations.
Around-the-Clock Monitoring
Anticimex SMART control systems detect, analyze, and transmit real-time data related to municipal pest activity 24/7. This eliminates the need to rely on educated guesses or trial and error to address rising populations.
Fast professional response
When our traps or sensors are triggered, we are alerted. We also dispatch professional techs to address the detected issue to keep issues in check and sidestep major problems.
Ongoing reporting and strategy optimization
Over time, Anticimex SMART Cities devices create living maps of the rodent activity in your city or community. This helps us monitor the success of a current strategy, quickly identify additional measures that might be necessary, and improve approaches accordingly.
How Important Is Municipal Pest Control in the Carolinas?
Rats, mice, and other pests are more than just unsettling sights on urban streets and annoyances in public spaces. They’re a growing health and public infrastructure concern, especially throughout areas like the Carolinas.
The region’s trademark humid climate provides rodents with the resources and ideal living conditions they need to thrive, especially in big cities like Raleigh or Greenville. Mild winters mean populations don’t taper off during the colder months, making rats and mice a year-round concern and constant proactive control strategies a must.
Public health concerns
Rodents like mice and rats are famous for contaminating shared spaces with serious pathogens, like hantavirus and salmonella. They also aggravate respiratory conditions like asthma and chronic allergies. The more densely populated the area, the bigger the issue.
Infrastructure damage
Rodents have teeth that never stop growing and constantly need to be filed down, so they’re forever chewing on pretty much anything they can find. Rodent populations in cities can cause expensive, hazardous damage to ventilation systems, electrical lines, and even water lines, especially when infestations are severe.
Reputation and citizen trust
No one likes spending time in a city where rodents are constantly present and problematic. The sight of visibly active mice and rats on public streets or sidewalks is jarring and unsettling, especially to anyone from out of town. Rodents in transit stations can make it hard for commuters to travel safely from Point A to Point B.
Resident morale problems
Rising rodent populations make it hard for citizens to live safe, satisfying lives and feel proud of where they live. Bad press, municipal complaints, and more can eventually become problems
Rapid population growth
Rats can reproduce incredibly rapidly, with each female capable of producing multiple litters of 6-12 young per year. Rats also reach reproductive maturity at around three months of age. Mice become capable of reproducing even sooner and produce even more young per year, so it’s easy for even small populations to get out of control.
In cities, even one abandoned or unattended building can eventually affect multiple nearby buildings and even spread to entire blocks.
How Does Anticimex SMART Cities Compare to Traditional Approaches?
Curious how our SMART Cities program measures up to the municipal pest control approaches you’re probably used to?
Traditional systems require physical readings and don’t include alerts or additional information to help rat exterminator experts control problems. This makes it impossible to get an accurate read on the number of pests present in an area. There’s also usually a lot of reliance on harmful productsand no focus on sewers, even though they’re always a root cause of city infestations.
Anticimex SMART Cities elevates the entire process with reliable, real-time monitoring and data gathering. Deep analysis helps techs predict pest behavior and population growth, so there’s zero need to fall back on guesswork. We also implement a specific device to address sewer populations, and treatments are always safe, sustainable, and non-toxic.
