Traditional pest control
Traditional pest control services are non-digital services that involve the use of biocides and traps to prevent and eliminate pests as well as monitoring pest activity through baiting. The Group’s technicians physically monitor customer sites by inspecting premises on a regular basis and reporting their findings. The technicians then advise customers on preventive pest control measures or suitable methods of treatment, before proceeding to eliminate pests using pest control equipment or chemicals. During the elimination process, the Group’s technicians check every bait box and refill bait regularly. Technicians then report to the Group on the details of the pest control treatment and chemicals used during the process of eliminating pests. The customer is also provided with an oral or written report regarding the treatment.

Intelligent traps have digital enhancements that allow them to catch pests and transmit a signal to a base station, and in some cases automatically dispose of the pest and reset
