In a busy commercial facility, a rat problem can go undetected for days. Traditional snap traps give you no information until someone physically checks them, and in high-pressure environments like food processing plants, warehouses, and distribution centers, that gap in visibility carries real risk. T-Rex Connect is a high-performance, non-toxic connected rat snap trap that pairs patented interlocking teeth with real-time wireless alerts, so your Western Exterminator team knows the moment a rat is captured and can respond without delay.

A non-toxic, digitally connected rat snap trap that delivers industry-leading capture performance and instant alerts to your Western Exterminator team the moment a rat is caught.

Standard snap traps require manual checking during scheduled visits. That means a capture, or a near miss, can go undetected for days. T-Rex Connect changes that. The moment a rat triggers the trap, the device sends an instant wireless alert via LoRaWAN to your PestConnect dashboard. Your Western Exterminator technician is notified in real time and can respond to a confirmed catch, not an empty trap.
The trap itself is built to hold. Patented interlocking teeth make escapes virtually impossible,** and the IP67-rated housing keeps the device performing in wet, cold, or hard-to-reach environments, including cold stores, loading docks, and outdoor perimeters. With a five-year battery life, T-Rex Connect runs quietly in the background with no battery replacement visits and no gaps in your monitoring data. If you want to understand the signs of rats before your next scheduled visit, our guide covers what to look for between service calls.
Every catch is logged automatically in PestNetOnline with a date, time, and device location. Your Western Exterminator technician reviews this data and responds accordingly, whether that means removing a captured rat, inspecting for entry points, or adjusting your program based on emerging patterns. When an auditor asks for your pest control records, the data is already organized, timestamped, and ready to review.

T-Rex Connect is built around one core principle: every catch should be confirmed, documented, and defensible. Here's what that looks like in practice.

From food processing plants to warehouses along the West Coast, some industries simply can't afford to wait for a scheduled visit to know what's happening on site. T-Rex Connect is particularly well-suited to:
T-Rex Connect works best as part of a broader rodent management strategy.

A standard trap requires manual checking during scheduled visits, which means captures can go undetected for days. T-Rex Connect sends an immediate wireless alert when a rat is captured, so your Western team can respond quickly, not at the next service visit. Every activation is also logged automatically in PestNetOnline.
No. T-Rex Connect uses its own independent wireless communications system. It does not connect to or interfere with your facility's internet, hardware, or machinery. There's nothing to configure on your end.
T-Rex Connect's patented interlocking teeth deliver a clamping force nearly 50% greater than competing snap traps, based on third-party mechanical testing of six snap traps. This helps prevent near misses and ensures more reliable capture performance.
Your local Western Exterminator technician will typically respond within 24 to 72 hours of an alert. They'll remove the captured rat, inspect the area, and assess whether any follow-up action, such as exclusion work or additional device placement, is needed
