Bluetooth Smart Mouse Trap
A Bluetooth-enabled smart mouse trap that humanely kills mice and notifies users via Bluetooth to the Goodnature mobile app.
Technical Highlights
Goodnature is a New Zealand-based mission-driven company that creates smart, humane, toxin-free pest-control solutions. They design, test, manufacture, and ship automatic, self-resetting traps from Wellington. They partnered with ecologists, scientists, and engineers to remove more than 22 million pests globally in an environmentally responsible way.
Goodnature had an existing product but approached Beta Solutions to develop a new version with Bluetooth connectivity, rechargeable power, and smart diagnostics - all while maintaining their high standards for humane, reliable pest control.
