Built to Perform in the Real World
Every Feature Engineered for Professional Pest Management - Smart Rodent Trap Technology for Modern IoT Pest Control
Feature 1
Triple-Mode Detection - Advanced Rodent Detection Sensor Technology
The GTSensor 4.0 smart rodent trap sensor uses three independent detection mechanisms, making it one of the most advanced automated rodent monitoring systems available today: Motion Detection (PIR) – detects rodents passing through the monitored zone below the sensor; Vibration/Shock Detection – registers snap trap releases or heavy impacts on the station; Temperature Monitoring – provides environmental data to support analysis, compliance, and digital pest reporting. Together, these three inputs give a more complete and reliable picture of what’s happening at each monitoring point than traditional motion-only pest control monitoring systems, improving accuracy in commercial pest control operations.
Feature 2
LoRa Long-Range Wireless Technology - No Wi-Fi Required for IoT Pest Control Systems
The GTSensor communicates using LoRa (Long Range) radio technology at 915 MHz – a protocol specifically designed for IoT pest control devices and wireless rodent monitoring systems that need to transmit over long distances with minimal power consumption. Strong signal penetration through walls, floors, and building structures ensures reliable connectivity in complex environments. Low energy use enables industry-leading battery performance. This makes it ideal for large-scale pest management, including warehouses, food production facilities, logistics hubs, and airport terminals. No dependence on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, which are subject to interference and coverage limitations, making it a highly reliable smart pest control solution.
Feature 3
Up to 9-Year Exchangeable Battery - Long-Life Smart Pest Control Sensor
Powered by a standard AA 3.6V Lithium battery, the GTSensor 4.0 is designed for minimal maintenance in automated pest control systems.

In Depth
The GTSensor 4.0 — A Closer Look
The GTSensor 4.0 represents the fourth generation of GreenTrapOnline’s field-proven wireless sensor technology — refined over nearly two decades of deployment in some of Europe’s most demanding pest control environments. It is a small device with a significant purpose: to make rodent monitoring continuous, immediate, and actionable.
How It’s Built The sensor unit measures just 60 x 64 x 22mm and weighs 57 grams — compact enough to fit discreetly inside most standard trap and bait station enclosures without affecting the station’s function or the rodent’s willingness to enter. The enclosure is manufactured from PC/ABS plastic, rated IP51 for protection against dust ingress and limited moisture. An internal PCB antenna handles wireless communication, removing the need for an external aerial and keeping the profile clean.
How It Detects The GTSensor 4.0 employs passive infrared (PIR) technology for motion detection — the same underlying principle used in security alarm systems, but optimised for the detection of small mammals in confined, low-light environments. When a rodent passes through the detection zone directly below the sensor, the change in infrared signature is registered and an alarm signal is generated.
In parallel, the vibration and shock detection capability monitors for physical impacts — most notably the release of a snap trap. This dual-mode approach means the sensor captures both rodent movement through non-lethal stations and confirmed catches in kill traps, providing a complete view of activity at each monitoring point.
Temperature data is also logged continuously, providing contextual environmental information that can support pattern analysis and help explain fluctuations in rodent activity.
How It Communicates All data is transmitted wirelessly via LoRa (Long Range) radio at 915 MHz — a protocol purpose-built for low-power, long-range IoT communication. Signals travel from the GTSensor to a nearby GTConnect gateway, which then routes data to the GreenTrapOnline cloud platform via a 4G cellular connection. The entire transmission chain is encrypted and hosted on Microsoft Azure infrastructure, providing enterprise-grade data security.
The LoRa protocol is particularly well-suited to large commercial facilities. Unlike Wi-Fi — which requires dense coverage infrastructure and is vulnerable to interference — LoRa signals penetrate walls, floors, and structural elements reliably, making it an effective communication layer in warehouses, hospitals, food plants, and multi-story facilities.
How It’s Powered The sensor runs on a single AA-size 3.6V Lithium battery (LI-SOCI2), with a rated battery life of up to nine years depending on activity frequency, ambient temperature, and signal conditions. LoRa’s low power consumption profile is the primary reason for this exceptional longevity — the sensor transmits only when needed, spending the vast majority of its time in a low-draw standby state. When the battery eventually needs replacing, it is a straightforward field swap requiring no tools and no reconfiguration.
What It Integrates With The GTSensor 4.0 is hardware-agnostic by design. It has been tested and confirmed compatible with a wide range of industry-standard traps and bait stations, including products from Bell Laboratories, Kness Pest Defence, Rotech, Camro, Plastdiversity, Lodi Group, Orma, Killgerm, Telex Pest Control, and Genicco. It can be used with snap traps, run-through bait stations, rodenticide bait stations, and monitor bait stations — with or without an active trap mechanism, depending on the monitoring strategy employed.
Setup & Deployment
From Unboxing to Online in Minutes - Fast Deployment of Automated Pest Control Systems
The GTSensor 4.0 is designed for pest control professionals – delivering a fast, scalable, and reliable automated rodent monitoring system. It simplifies installation while maximizing efficiency in commercial pest control services.
1
Plan Your Deployment
Before installation, work with your Rook account manager to determine the number of smart rodent trap sensors needed for the site, optimal placement locations, and gateway positioning. For most commercial sites, a single GTConnect gateway can support the full IoT rodent monitoring network. Larger or more complex sites may require multiple gateway units. Consider: High-traffic rodent run areas, entry points, known activity zones, and any locations that are difficult or hazardous to inspect physically. multiple gateway units.
2
Install the GTConnect Gateway
The GTConnect gateway is the communications hub of the automated rodent monitoring system. It requires a standard power outlet and connects to the internet via 4G cellular network – no hardwired ethernet or Wi-Fi connection is needed in most cases. Position the gateway centrally relative to your sensor deployment to maximise signal coverage. Installation is completed by the pest control professional. No third-party technician or IT support is required.
3
Mount the GTSensors
The GTSensor smart rodent trap sensor mounts inside or on top of your chosen trap or bait station. The device is held in position by the station’s internal geometry or via the integrated mounting tab. No adhesives, brackets, or tools are required for standard installations. Once physically positioned, each sensor is registered to the site through the GTO cloud platform – a quick process completed via the server interface.
4
Activate and Verify
Once registered, sensors begin monitoring immediately. Each GTSensor has an indicator LED that confirms its operational status. A brief test – passing your hand beneath the sensor or tapping the station – will confirm motion and vibration detection are functioning correctly before you leave the site.
5
Configure Alerts
Through the GTO platform, set up your alert recipients – the pest manager, site supervisor, facility manager, or any combination of stakeholders. Real-time rodent alerts are delivered by email and include the sensor location, timestamp, and detection type. The platform also supports scheduled activity reports and dashboard access for clients who want ongoing visibility.
6
Monitor, Respond, Report
From this point, the IoT pest control system works autonomously. When a real-time rodent alert is received, the relevant team member responds to the specific sensor location – rather than conducting a full site inspection. Activity data accumulates in the dashboard, providing trend analysis that informs station placement adjustments and service scheduling over time.
