Multi- and single-trap electronic remote monitoring solutions
Whether your focus is pest control, wildlife control, or both, Skyhawk provides a full line of Trapmate electronics, software and accessories to give you the best remote trap monitoring possible.
Multi-Trap Solutions
For pest and wildlife control teams that want to monitor multiple traps in a location, Skyhawk offers the Trapmate Hub and two types of Trapmate Sensors.

Trapmate Hub
The Trapmate Hub is the network gateway for multi-trap Trapmate installations. The Hub routes sensor alerts and other status messages to the Trapmate mobile app and enterprise portal via a cellular cloud connection.
The Trapmate Hub can communicate with sensors as far away as 2500 feet away outdoors or hundreds of feet indoors.
You don’t need to worry about power, WiFi, or other network connections – the Trapmate Hub is a drop and go battery-powered solution.
Because it’s battery-powered, you can place the Trapmate Hub high up on walls, buildings, or even trees, safely out of the way of foot or machine traffic. Your Hub will get one to two years of operation on three AA batteries.
Lightweight, compact and built to last, the Trapmate Hub outperforms other ERM gateways in range, flexibility and value.

Trapmate Vibration/Magnet Sensor
The Trapmate Vibration/Magnet Sensor (VMS) is a two-in-one device which utilizes two different sensor technologies to detect when an animal is caught in a trap.
The magnet sensor (also known as a reed switch) attaches to traps and detects when a door shuts or a trap is sprung. The accelerometer separately detects vibrations within a trap or station.
Both sensors have adjustable sensitivity settings, and used in tandem create an almost foolproof system for detecting an animal in the trap.
When the sensor is triggered, it sends an alert to your Trapmate Software by way of connection to the Trapmate Hub, which can be hundreds or even several thousand feet away.

Trapmate Passive Infrared Motion Sensor
Available in Q4 2023
The Trapmate Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion Sensor uses an infrared detector to identify when live animals are in your traps.
Designed to be installable both inside of a station or attached to the outside of a station looking in, the PIR Motion Sensor provides an alternative to the Vibration/Magnet Sensor which is ideal for multi-catch traps and for any environment where natural or machine vibrations are present.
You can also use the Trapmate PIR Motion Sensor in closed spaces, such as in attics and above drop ceilings, to locate the source of rodent and other animal infestations, helping to determine the best locations for trap placement and areas that require exclusion efforts.
Single-Trap Solutions
Combining dual-sensor functionality with a direct cellular connection, the Trapmate Kiwis are a key part of the toolkit for anyone in the trapping business.
Single-Trap Solutions
Trapmate Kiwi
The Trapmate Kiwi is the gold standard of single-trap electronic remote monitoring devices. Combining a magnet sensor (reed switch), an accelerometer and a direct cellular connection, the Kiwi is the best choice for monitoring single traps at a distance.
Lightweight, rugged, and powered by replaceable off-the-shelf batteries, the Kiwi and its dual-sensor capabilities provide almost 100% reliability in detecting the capture of an animal.
The Kiwi can monitor traps in any location that receives even a weak cellular connection from the Verizon network.
Trapmate Software
Trapmate’s software applications provide you with full visibility and control over your Trapmate devices.
You’ll get real-time alerts in the apps about any trap events, which can be relayed to your and your team by e-mail or text message as well.
Your Trapmate apps also help register your devices, monitor device status and configure device settings like sensitivity and check-in frequency.
