AI Pest Management
AI pest management means the evidence is documented as the work happens, and Insectram is where Shield documents it — removing the manual recording and the audit preparation entirely. A survey, a review of your records, then a full demonstration of the system.
At a Glance
AI pest management is pest control delivered with continuous digital monitoring and analytics rather than paper records. Readings from QR-coded monitoring points feed a live portal that trends catch data, flags recurring and seasonal risk, tracks corrective actions to close-out and holds the compliance documents an auditor asks for. The technical decisions remain with qualified pest control technicians. At Shield this runs on Insectram, and every commercial client is given their own account and login credentials.
The Problem
Most sites do not have a pest control problem. They have an evidence problem, and it only surfaces when the auditor arrives.
Service sheets emailed as PDFs, forwarded, renamed and lost. Nobody can say with certainty which was the last visit or what it found.
A year of catch readings sitting in a folder, never analysed, so a rising pattern is discovered by the auditor rather than by you.
A proofing recommendation repeated across four visits, closed on none of them, and evidenced on none of them.
The Insectram Portal
Your whole programme in one place, updated continuously — by the system between visits, and by your technician on every one.
Every reading tied to a QR-coded monitoring point, a department and a zone, and reported in real time rather than at the next visit.
The report exists before the technician leaves site. No waiting, no chasing, no version confusion.
Proofing and hygiene actions raised with images, assigned to an owner and tracked through to evidenced close-out.
Catch data trended continuously and cut by date, point, department, area, site or portfolio — whatever window the auditor asks for.
Insurance, training certificates, risk assessments, COSHH, RAMS, site plans and treatment records in one structured place.
Read access can be granted for the audit window, so your auditor reads the evidence directly rather than through printed extracts.
Who Uses It
Trend analysis produced as a by-product of service, and a documented corrective action trail ready for any audit window.
Visibility of what was found, where, and what needs doing on site — without waiting for a report to be emailed over.
Multi-site reporting rolled up to portfolio level, with per-site detail underneath, in a single login.
Direct read access to the current and historical record, cut to the period and the zones being assessed.
Audit Evidence
The same portal answers all six, because the evidence requirements overlap far more than the standards do.
Documented IPM, trend analysis of catch data, contractor competence records.
The same discipline, evidenced to GFSI expectations across the supply chain.
The Difference
How the AI is Used
Shield’s programme runs on Insectram. QR-coded monitoring points and trap sensors are two elements of a state-of-the-art set-up delivering site-wide and multi-site integration with real-time data, so activity is seen as it happens rather than at the next visit, and rising activity raises a warning on its own.
No pest control contractor can guarantee an audit pass, and Shield does not claim to. What Shield guarantees is this: Insectram removes the manual recording and the audit preparation entirely, and real-time data gives you sight of activity early enough to deal with it before it becomes a compliance issue.
Analytics read previous visits, detect recurring risk at specific points, and identify seasonal pressure before it becomes an infestation. What they do not do is choose a treatment. Every technical decision — what to proof, what to monitor, whether intervention is justified, which product and dose under CRRU and COSHH — is made by a qualified Shield technician with field biologist oversight, and recorded with their name against it.
Multi-Site
Group structure with per-site records underneath, so a facilities manager stops holding twelve separate relationships and twelve separate folders.
The same monitoring standard and the same report shape everywhere, which makes a genuine comparison between sites possible for the first time.
Portfolio-level trend reporting for board and retailer reviews, with the detail one click underneath it.

Warehousing
Three steps, no obligation and nothing to pay.
1. A free site survey — Shield visits and surveys your site.
2. A review of your current records — Shield reviews your existing pest control reports and audit files.
3. A full system demo — An introduction to every feature and function of Insectram.
A: Yes. Named users get 24/7 access to current and historical reports, recommendations, trend data and the document folder.
A: No. It is not an add-on to the service — it is how Shield documents your compliance, and every commercial client is given their own account and login credentials.
A: As many as you need. You nominate the users and we set them up — site team, QA, technical, facilities and your auditor.
A: No. Analytics highlight patterns; a BPCA-qualified technician makes every technical decision and is named on the record.
