Pest control system and method
First Claim
1. A system for integrated pest management in an environment, the system comprising:
- a plurality of devices positioned within the environment, the plurality of devices including a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from a network device;
a network to provide communication between the network device to the plurality of devices, the network device receiving communication and control functions from a remote computer for distribution to the plurality of devices; and
at least one sensor positioned within the environment to transmit sensor data to the remote computer, the at least one sensor being configured to detect and transmit at least one parameter for the environment to the remote computer; and
the remote computer being configured to access logistical data comprising at least one of transportation map data and a route optimization data to produce a service plan for at least one device of the plurality of devices and to execute the service plan to implement a transformation of the at least one device of the plurality of devices in accordance with the service plan.

Abstract
A system for integrated pest management in an environment includes devices positioned within the environment. The devices each include a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from a network device. The system further includes a network to provide communication between the network device to the devices. The network device receives communication and control functions from a remote computer for distribution to the devices. The system further includes a sensor positioned within the environment to transmit sensor data to the remote computer. The sensor is configured to detect and transmit a parameter for the environment to the remote computer. The system further includes a controller to control the emission of a fluid from a source of the fluid in fluid communication with the devices. The controller is configured to set or adjust an operation parameter of the devices in response to the sensor data.
