With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences.

Revolutionizing Rodent Control
From pet- and child-safe traps, to touch-free and live-catch rodent control solutions, Victor continues to stay committed to producing superior products that meet the varying needs of today’s pest control professionals.
