Public Health First

Rodent control is a public health function. BurrowNet replaces ad-hoc trapping and blanket poisons with an infrastructure approach: sealed, automated units integrated into city sanitation workflows and documented under standard IPM practices.

Environmental Stewardship

Our system avoids routine broadcast rodenticides and limits non-target exposure. Fewer toxins in alleys, parks, and waterways means safer pets, wildlife, and maintenance crews, with less hazardous waste to manage.

Operational Reliability

Infrastructure works when it’s predictable. BurrowNet is designed for scheduled service, remote monitoring, and clear work orders so city teams can plan routes, not chase complaints.

Equity in Deployment

Infestation burdens aren’t distributed evenly. We prioritize high-impact corridors and historically underserved neighborhoods, aligning deployments with local health and sanitation priorities.

Evidence, Not Hype

Impact is measured with partners, not guessed. Each deployment starts with a baseline and ends with a report that a city can defend publicly.

How we measure success (pilot template)

  • 311/constituent complaint volume and trend in the service radius

  • Burrow activity observations (standardized walk-through logs)

  • Food-source and harborages scored via sanitation inspections

  • Service efficiency: scheduled vs. reactive visits, crew hours, and repeat calls

  • Rodenticide use compared with historical practice (where applicable)

  • Community feedback from resident and merchant surveys

Transparency by design

Cities receive a simple end-of-pilot dashboard and a methods appendix (data sources, collection windows, and definitions). Independent verification by university or agency partners is welcome.

A model other cities can adopt

BurrowNet is built to slot into municipal IPM programs and procurement processes. The result is cleaner streets, safer crews, and a repeatable playbook any city can implement without reinventing operations.
