Clark’s Pest Control Supports Kiawah Island Bobcat Preservation with SMART Technology
Between 2017 and 2020, the once-thriving bobcat population on Kiawah Island significantly decreased from around 35 to fewer than ten. The cause of this devastating decline? Second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGAs) that contain rodent-killing chemicals toxic to bobcats.
Today, Clark’s Pest Control is proud to be one of several companies supporting the ongoing restoration of the Kiawah bobcat population with Anticimex SMART pest control. SMART is not an SGA and does not contain ingredients hazardous to bobcats. Instead, it is a real-time tracking system that monitors pest activity with a proven record of handling rodents like mice and rats.
Clark’s Termite & Pest Control offers Anticimex SMART to homeowners and businesses throughout the Carolinas and the Savannah, GA, area. To learn more about SMART, continue reading.
How Anticimex SMART Helps Reduce Rodents While Protecting Kiawah Bobcats
Anticoagulant rodenticides prevent the activation of blood clotting factors in the liver. When rodents come in contact with SGAs, they rapidly experience spontaneous internal bleeding and cardiovascular failure. However, SGAs are also toxic to wildlife, pets, and farm animals, causing hemorrhaging, organ failure, and death. Once Kiawah Island bobcat preservationists discovered what was happening, they took action and Clark’s Termite & Pest Control heeded the call. We have taken the Kiawah Island Bobcat Pledge and continue helping Kiawah Island restore a healthy bobcat population.
Anticimex SMART Connect provides superior rodent control by monitoring rodent activity in specific areas. SMART is eco- and bobcat-friendly, ensuring people, plants, and wildlife live and work in healthy environments.
Anticimex SMART technology provides real-time tracking of rodent behavior. Rodents are most active at night, venturing out of their hidden nests, searching for food, mates, and nesting materials. They also spread diseases and cleverly avoid detection by squeezing through tiny openings and moving when and where they are least likely to be seen.
With SMART tracking the intensity of rodent activity 24/7, home and business owners will know when and where rodents have entered their buildings. Getting rid of these rodents before they start reproducing is the key to preventing a full-blown infestation. It’s common knowledge that female rodents are prolific breeders. Did you know that one female mouse can have up to 50 baby mice in one year?
SMART’s ability to detect rising levels of rodent activity means you can take proactive steps to stop an infestation and avoid the expense of repairing rodent damage.
