We’re actually launching a new product this year, which we’re very excited about. It completes our IQ product line it’s our mouse IQ trap. So for years we’ve been talking about the benefits of rodent monitoring and the solutions that IQ products can provide our PMP partners. To be able to launch our seventh IQ product. We’re extremely excited about the opportunity to do that. IQ mouse trap works exactly like our other IQ products, similar to the T Rex IQ, it simply tells the user from a distance of about 100 to 200 feet away, if the trap is open or closed. So you can now, as our PMP partner, experience all the benefits that you do from our other IQ products with a mouse snap trap. So we’re very excited about it.
So one of the challenges that seems to be in everyone’s mind here at pest world is the impending proposed interim decision on rodenticides. Most PMP are very concerned about what the rodenticide market is going to look like in the next year to five years, based on the EPA regulatory environment that they find themselves in. There’s also a lot of state regulatory challenges that our customers are facing all over the country. NPMA does a wonderful job through their public policy committee as well their board of directors really supporting our industry and access to these products. We work very closely with NPMA, and very proud of that work. One of the things that we feel is important for our PMP partners, our distribution partners and our industry in general, is looking to raise the professionalism of that industry. And that’s why, when providing product solutions, we do take into account a lot of the regulatory and legislative challenges and environments that our products are in our industry face each year.
For instance, as we were designing our IQ product line, here I have our pulse mouse IQ bait station, one of the things we talk about and one of the reasons why we named the product the pulse. Product the pulse is we talk about pulse baiting. So what pulse baiting means is using a non active bait to ensure rodents come in the bait station and then actually walk on the sensor in here that is then time stamped and recorded. Now you have proof that there’s been activity in that bait station. And you, as the PMP, are able to show your customer or anyone an auditing body, hey, this bait station was visited. Then I then switched to an active bait and we think that little ideas like that, that show there’s a creativity and a curiosity in our industry and how to perform our jobs better, raise the level of professional of the industry. And now, instead of just a bait station that might have some rodenticide in it with nibbles, and the technician is looking at it and thinking, Okay, it looks like there might have been one or two mice in here, or one or two rats in here. Now there’s verifiable proof, timestamped, of exactly how much activity was in that bait station. There’s also verifiable proof that that bait station was serviced because of the Bluetooth connection between the station and the phone.
And we think that in a heavily regulated pest market, pesticides are one of the most heavily regulated chemicals in this country, and the ability to try and look to develop products to help our customers utilize our products, continue to protect the public health, is a vital part of what we do for a living and be able to talk to them about some of those product developments to support their business and support their challenges that they face from these regulatory environments is very rewarding for my team and I you.
