IoT Connected Mousetrap

Pest control company Rentokil said it has developed a connected mousetrap – for $1,600. ResiConnect traps the rodents, gasses them with carbon dioxide, and automatically notifies the user for disposal. This system also gives users early warning of mouse activity, so they can eliminate the mice immediately before they begin to breed in large number.

According to the company, the control panel also contains its own SIM card so it can operate without connecting to a home Wi-Fi network. Consumers can decide for themselves if this system is worth the hefty price.
