App Concept

RootCheck Pest

RootCheck Pest is a mobile app that empowers homeowners to diagnose and verify rodent and ant infestations by leading them through a step-by-step investigation process, including thermal camera hints and dye tracing. It overlays probability maps for entry points and colony locations, enabling users to confirm treatment effectiveness before calling a pro—solving the 'where is it coming from' problem in inaccessible areas.

Key Features

Guided diagnostic workflow for rodent entry points and ant colonies
Thermal camera and moisture sensor integration hints for hidden areas
Probability mapping of entry points and colony locations
Before/after verification with photo evidence and treatment logs

Target Users: Homeowners experiencing persistent rodent or ant infestations despite prior treatments, especially those with inaccessible subfloor or wall spaces.

Revenue Model: Freemium with one-time diagnosis for $9.99 or annual subscription ($29.99) for unlimited use, mapping analytics, and exportable reports for pest control companies.
