App Concept

PestWatch Proactive

PestWatch Proactive is a smart sensor system that continuously monitors restaurant zones for pests like cockroaches, drain flies, and rodents. It detects early activity, identifies breeding sources, and sends real-time alerts with action recommendations, reducing reliance on reactive pest control visits. Built specifically for food service compliance, it helps owners stay ahead of infestations and pass inspections.

Key Features

Real-time pest activity detection via IoT sensors (motion, humidity, pheromone traps)
AI-powered source identification and trend analysis for roaches and drain flies
Compliance dashboard with inspection-ready reports and treatment logs
Automated alerts and recommended actions (e.g., target grease trap, seal cracks)

Target Users: Restaurant owners and managers in food service who face recurring pest issues and want to avoid health code violations and costly treatments.

Revenue Model: SaaS subscription per location (e.g., $99/month including sensor hardware amortized)
