Electronic Rodent Monitoring
Electronic rodent monitors are sensors that can be placed inside of rodent management devices. These sensors detect rodent activity and communicate with us remotely, therefore, letting us know immediately when a mouse enters your facility and into one of the traps.
Monitors like these ERMs not only tell us if pests are present, they also tell us if treatments are working, where we are having issues, how severe a problem is and they also show us trends of pest activity.
Benefits of ERMs:
- Quick Response Time
- 24/7 Surveillance
- Easily See Trends
- More Time to Inspect
ERMs allow us to monitor your facility around the clock, not just during scheduled services. This allows our professionals to spend more time inspecting your facility for conducive conditions and preventing issues instead of just checking traps.

Monitoring
It’s important to proactively monitor for rodents. Thorn used bar codes and the latest technology to track rodent activity. We also provide you with clear documentation, so you know exactly what is going on. Thorn reacts quickly to stop new infestations.
Inspections
A detailed inspection is critical for successful control of rodents. Rodents are attracted to shadows, warmth, smells, and tight spaces that offer protection from predators. We need to identify these conditions that attract rodent activity. The better the inspection, the better the results.
Exclusion
Exclusion is one of the best control strategies for rodents. Identifying entry points and sealing them up to stop mice and rats from getting inside. Thorn professionals have tools and techniques to find out if a gap is large enough for a rodent to crawl through. A rat can fit through a 1/2″ gap and a mouse can fit through a 1/4" gap.
Trapping
Rodent control isn’t just setting out a few traps and hoping you will catch them; “hope” is not a great strategy. Every day each mouse is depositing about 75 droppings and thousands of micro droplets of urine which will attract other mice. By assessing the situation and understand biology we can place traps I the right spots for quick control.

The house mouse is arguably the most successful mammal on the planet and their numbers continue to grow every year. The house mouse is extremely common and problematic in Utah impacting thousands of Utahns every year. House mice contaminate food, spread pathogens, and create allergens in the air. You should not tolerate mice in your home or business.
Rodents around the world carry many diseases which affect humans. They’re also carriers of mites, ticks, and fleas which can affect a household. Sealing entryways, eliminating food sources, and trapping are the most common solutions for managing a small rodent infestation, but it’s often easy for mice and rats to return if the methods used are not thoroughly adhered, or the infestation is severe.

The easiest way to deter rodents is to avoid baiting them. Create an environment that is not attractive to mice and rats. Avoid having accessible food sources. Keep dumpsters away from buildings.
Remove thick vegetation next to structures, and avoid storing things against the building. To prevent them from accessing a structure, make sure the building is well-sealed and actively maintained.
