MinkPolice Cellular Trap Monitoring Sensors for Remote Programs

MinkPolice. Trap monitoring sensors that turn the daily check round into data.

Use our free design service to map your Trap Monitoring job for a specific site or use case.

Pest IT's design team supports the pestie running the work, and the site or facilities manager answering for the building who needs the program to back them up.

Spec Your Project

The daily check round, replaced by an alert when the trap fires.

On a 20-trap remote agribusiness program, the daily check round runs hours of drive time, fuel cost, and operator labour against a fleet where the dry-check trip is the bulk of the work. The labour that goes into checking the traps that have not fired is the cost the program pays before the first capture lands.

MinkPolice X sensors send an alert when a trap fires. The pestie or operator drives to the trap that fired, not to the rest of the fleet. Pest IT's design service runs the payback maths against the trap count, the drive profile, fuel cost, and labour cost on the program.

MinkPolice X Trap Sensor

$481.80

MinkPolice X sensors operate on the cellular network. Cellular signal at each trap placement is required for alert reliability. Signal pre-check at planned placements is part of the Free Design Service.

The audit trail produced by the sensor (trap fire timestamps, locations, fire frequency over reporting periods, response times on each alert) supports declared-pest reporting and licence renewal for council biosecurity programs and agribusiness compliance work.

MinkPolice Frequently Asked Questions

What does the MinkPolice X Trap Sensor do?

The MinkPolice X sensor fits compatible traps and sends an alert via the cellular network when a trap fires. The alert reaches the pestie or operator immediately so the response is directed at the trap that fired rather than the dry-check round. The communication log records each server contact, which produces the audit trail that supports licence renewal for declared-pest programs.

Which traps does MinkPolice fit?

MinkPolice X fits Magnet Trap models including the Fox, Rabbit, Cat, Pigeon, Mini Myna, and Sparrow Magnet Traps, plus other compatible traps in the trade range. Compatibility against a specific trap configuration sits in the Spec Your Project conversation.

How long does MinkPolice payback take?

The payback maths depends on trap count, drive time, fuel cost, and labour cost. Pest IT's design service runs the figures on the actual program inputs and confirms whether the sensor coverage covers its cost inside 12 months. The maths lands strongest on a program of 10 or more traps with a 30-minute-or-longer drive between rounds.

Does MinkPolice work in remote areas with patchy mobile signal?

MinkPolice operates on the cellular network and needs at least 3G coverage at each trap location. Signal pre-check at planned placements happens during the sizing conversation so coverage gaps surface before installation rather than after.

What records does MinkPolice produce for council and biosecurity audit?

Trap fire timestamp, location, fire frequency over reporting periods, and the response time on each alert. The audit trail supports declared-pest reporting and licence renewal for council biosecurity programs and agribusiness compliance work.

What is the battery life on a MinkPolice X sensor?

About one year on four AA Lithium batteries with two daily status messages. The sensor sends a low-battery alert before the batteries fail, so the replacement runs ahead of the data gap. Replacement batteries and components are stocked at Pest IT Heidelberg West (VIC) for trade-side dispatch.

Cellular sensor that fits Magnet Trap models and sends the alert when a trap fires. The labour payback is measured against the program's drive time and trap count.

MinkPolice is cellular trap monitoring. The X Trap Sensor is built to remove the daily drive that historically dominated the labour cost of remote and large multi-trap programs.

The sensor fits Magnet Trap models and other compatible traps. When a trap fires, the sensor sends an alert via the cellular network. The pestie or operator drives to the trap that fired. The audit trail of fire timestamps, locations, and response times supports licence renewal for declared-pest programs.

Used on broadacre agribusiness, conservation reserves, council biosecurity rounds, and any property where trap density and drive time make the labour saving the commercial unlock. The kit is built to be operated by a trained pest manager or by an in-house agribusiness team where the operator carries the trapping work directly.

MinkPolice is the cellular trap monitoring sensor brand Pest IT carries for the Australian trade. The X Trap Sensor is built for the remote and large multi-trap programs where the daily check-round drive is the largest single labour-cost item on the program before the first capture lands.

The commercial unlock is the labour displacement. Where the manual check round historically required driving each trap on the program daily to confirm fire status, the sensor flips the workflow: the alert reaches the operator only when a trap fires. The response is directed at the trap that fired, not at the rest of the fleet. Across a season on a 20-or-more-trap program, the labour saved compounds against the drive-time labour cost the program would otherwise carry. Pest IT's design service confirms the payback maths on actual program inputs against the sensor cost.

The sensor fits Magnet Trap models in Pest IT's trade range, including the Fox, Rabbit, Cat, Pigeon, Mini Myna, and Sparrow Magnet Traps, plus other compatible traps. Configuration runs through a web interface where trap placements, alert recipients, and status reporting cadences are set up. The communication log per trap records each server contact, the battery status at each contact, the signal strength reading, and the temperature at the placement, which produces the data layer the program runs from.

Used on broadacre agribusiness, conservation reserves, council biosecurity rounds, large commercial sites running rodent or vertebrate programs, and any property where trap density and drive time make the labour saving the commercial unlock. The sensor is built to be operated by a trained pest manager scaling a multi-trap account, by an in-house agribusiness team running their own trap program on stock country, or by a council biosecurity officer running a declared-pest round across a shire.

The compliance layer is the audit trail. The sensor records trap fire timestamps, locations, fire frequency over reporting periods, and the response time on each alert. The records support declared-pest reporting and licence renewal for council biosecurity programs and agribusiness compliance work. The sensor data rolls into portfolio-level reporting for asset managers running pest programs across multi-site portfolios.

Pest IT supports MinkPolice with the design service that maps coverage to the program, the placement strategy that accounts for cellular signal at each trap location, the alert routing setup that lands notifications with the right operator, the audit-trail record templates the licence renewal reads against, and the trade-side dispatch for replacement batteries and components from the Heidelberg West (VIC) warehouse.
