Toxic-free and digital pest control

Advocates adhesives, live-capture traps and biocides only as a last resort, and is now focused on SMART digital monitoring for large industries.

Oscar Martínez has worked in pest management in the food industry since 2004, when a laboratory internship at a dairy company put him in charge of its pest control program.
