Protect your property and brand reputation with PestConnect from McCloud—a smart digital system that continuously monitors, detects, and captures rodents inside and outside your facility 24/7/365.
Smart Rodent Control for Your Business
PestConnect is an invaluable digital tool for businesses in high-risk sectors such as food handling, hospitality, and pharmaceuticals. Our smart technology is a sustainable, cost-effective way to control rodents without chemicals or harmful exposure, while keeping you compliant and audit-ready.
24/7 Continuous Monitoring
Traditional visits leave four-week gaps—enough for 6 rats to become 350 in months. PestConnect is always on, alerting you instantly when rodents are detected.
Proactive Pest Defense
Live data from across our device network builds a “Digital Twin” of your premises—a virtual map that continuously learns rodent patterns to expose hotspots before they escalate.
Faster, Targeted Action
Any detection delays risk severe penalties for pest activity or contamination, especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries. These oversights can lead to costly operational shutdowns, failed audits, and immediate product recalls.
How PestConnect works
Each PestConnect device is fitted by your McCloud technician after a thorough site survey. We place every unit strategically, factoring in your facility’s layout, key risk areas, and pest history. Once installed, the devices work continuously, feeding activity data directly into our PestNetOnline data management system.
PestNetOnline puts you fully in control of your program. As each device links directly to PestNetOnline, all activity is logged, timestamped, and ready for reporting. Real-time alerts, trend reports, interactive site maps, and audit-ready documentation are all available to you in one place.
This data allows your McCloud team to keep refining and improving your program, as our knowledge grows.
Dual Autogate
Dual Autogate counts rodents and, once an infestation is confirmed, releases toxic bait for instant, safe control, while alerting our technicians for a rapid response.
T-Rex Connect
T-Rex Traps deliver 49% more clamping power, superior trigger sensitivity, and interlocking teeth that prevent escape for chemical-free control.
Multi-Rodent Trap
Alerts us the moment a mouse is caught, triggering a rapid technician response. We’ll identify the source of the infestation and recommend any required actions.
Escalating Rodent Threats Demand Proactive Defense for Midwest Facilities
Commercial properties across the Midwest face an aggressive rodent challenge driven by aging industrial infrastructure and severe seasonal climate shifts. Since 1904, McCloud Services has helped commercial facilities and food supply chain operations stay ahead of infestations before they disrupt business.
According to a national rodent report published in Food Safety Magazine, the U.S. Midwest experienced the nation’s most dramatic year-over-year increase in rodent activity at 76% overall—led by massive spikes in key commercial states like Ohio (275%) and Indiana (242%).
For commercial facilities across Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, and Wisconsin, managing this escalating pressure is a daily operational reality.
Why Connected Monitoring Beats Traditional Rodent Control
Our PestConnect system delivers 24/7 protection, monitoring your business 8,670 hours a year rather than relying on a single monthly visit. Powered by half a billion annual data points, it pinpoints rodent pathways and hotspots for highly targeted prevention. The result:
- Instant, real-time alerts for immediate response
- Twice as fast at resolving rodent activity, reducing downtime and call-out costs1
- Fewer false triggers thanks to smart AI, so technicians only respond to genuine threats
- Secure, IT-independent LoRaWAN connectivity that’s simple to set up
- Up to 60% less rodenticide use through targeted, data-driven interventions2

Frequently Asked Questions
How Quickly Will I Know If There’s a Problem?
The moment a device detects activity, you receive a real-time alert for immediate response, rather than waiting for the next scheduled visit.
How Does PestConnect Know Where Rodents Are Getting In?
By analyzing the times and locations of every trigger, the system maps recurring pathways and entry points into hotspot maps—turning live activity into a precise, targeted prevention plan.
Will This Reduce Disruption to My Operations?
PestConnect is twice as fast at resolving rodent activity as traditional measures, so you have less disruption, less downtime, and less risk. Over time, our data lets us further optimize your program, so your call-out costs are lower, too.
Can Other Animals or Movement Set Off False Alarms?
Smart triggering, machine learning, and AI algorithms are much better than motion sensors at reducing false triggers from non-targeted species, so technicians respond only to genuine rodent activity.
Does PestConnect Rely on My Wi-Fi or IT Systems?
No. It runs on long-range, secure LoRaWAN connectivity with pre-installed SIMs, working entirely independently of your network for easy setup and maximum security.
Is PestConnect Better for the Environment?
Interventions are guided by data and precisely targeted; bait is only used where it’s genuinely needed, reducing rodenticide use by up to 60% for a more sustainable approach.
