Unable to eliminate flea infestation despite multiple treatments; inside cat suffers from allergic dermatitis and meds are ineffective.
Existing solutions either control population temporarily (sprays, traps) or are ineffective on the allergic cat (BRAVECTO), and fumigation is impractical due to exotic pets.

App Concept
PetSafe FleaEliminator
A targeted, pet-safe flea elimination system that uses a combination of UV-attractant traps and temperature-controlled misting to break the flea life cycle without toxic bombs. It monitors infestation levels and automatically treats high-activity areas, compatible with sensitive pets like reptiles and birds.
Key Features
- Automatic UV-attractant trapping with sticky boards
- Scheduled, pet-safe misting using non-toxic IGR (insect growth regulator)
- App notifications for infestation hotspots and treatment status
- Safe for homes with fish, reptiles, and birds – no evacuation needed
Target Users: Homeowners with chronic flea infestations and sensitive pets (reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish) who cannot use traditional foggers or bombs
Revenue Model: $99 one-time device + $19.99/month refill cartridges (IGR solution and sticky boards)
