What We Did

• Adapted advanced sensor technology originally designed for avian detection to track rodent movement at ground level

• Deployed a network of sensors supported by repeater devices to overcome communication barriers in a reinforced structure

• Developed a heat map using geolocation and AI classifications to identify precise entry and exit points

• Built an AI-driven monitoring system that filtered false alarms and delivered real-time alerts for confirmed rodent activity

The Challenge

A historical building faced a persistent rodent infestation that resisted months of remediation efforts. The main difficulty lay in accurately locating ingress and egress points in a complex environment with steel-reinforced walls and multiple structural challenges. Traditional methods proved ineffective, leaving the building at risk of continued damage and tenant disruption.

Lifescale Analytics’ Solution

Lifescale Analytics deployed an AI-powered monitoring system using modified sensors designed for high-resolution ground-level detection. A mesh network of sensors and repeaters ensured reliable data transfer, even through reinforced barriers.

​

The AI system processed captured images in real time, filtering out irrelevant activity to reduce false alarms. Confirmed detections triggered targeted alerts and were plotted into a heat map, which provided clear visibility into rodent movement patterns and access points.

​A central base station allowed for continuous monitoring of the system, ensuring uninterrupted surveillance and immediate response capability.

Impact

This solution enabled the client to:

• ​Precisely identify rodent entry points, including hidden drain lines previously overlooked

• Reduce false alarms through AI filtering and targeted alerts

• Achieve continuous, real-time monitoring of the property

• Implement more effective and targeted remediation strategies
