Anticimex SMART: A Digital Pest Control Solution for Commercial Businesses
Intelligent Pest Control around the Clock!
Anticimex SMART Pest Control solution is an intelligent pest control system that keeps an eye on things wirelessly while communicating with our office 24/7, so you don’t have to.
Viking has partnered with Anticimex to offer the best in pest control! Anticimex SMART Pest Control is an intelligent pest control system that monitors activity, predicting, and preventing costly infestations in an environmentally-friendly way. Are you looking for an easy pest control program that lets you relax and that handles all the work? Then Anticimex SMART is the solution for you. An environmentally-friendly option, Anticimex SMART uses technology to improve pest detection, so it can root out problems as they are occurring, instead of waiting until they are large enough for you to notice them. This use of technology helps reduce the number of preventative pesticides by targeting pests before they become a problem, without the large-scale application of pesticides that were once necessary for preventative pest control programs.
How does Anticimex SMART work?
Viking Pest uses a wide range of cutting-edge technologies depending on your individual situation. We respond immediately to threats using preventative pest control and targeting any pests that may enter your premises. The heart of the network, Smart Connect, communicates with the installations and delivers information to a SMART reporting system. Depending on the product used, the communication uses one of two technologies:
GSM – Global Standard Network for mobile communication
Radio network – communication via radio waves
24-Hour Monitoring
24-Hour Support
24/7 Mouse Protection

Say Hello to SMART Commercial Pest Protection
Historically, commercial pest control involved making educated guesses based on evidence about where rats, mice and other pests may or may not be active. With Anticimex SMART technology, we no longer need to guess. We will know.
Step 1: Analyze & Plan
We perform a site analysis and ask you a series of questions. We then determine the unique, optimal program for your situation.
Step 2: Install & Connect
We install state-of-the-art, multi-purpose technology around the site.
Step 3: We Service, You Relax
Our ongoing service includes physical inspections, emptying and relocating of traps, and analysis. We act fast when necessary — all you have to do is sit back and relax.
The Key to Anticimex SMART’s Success
The key to Anticimex SMART’s success is its ability to customize a system based on a detailed site assessment. Before installation, we fully inspect your site, including examining blueprints and designs when they are available. This helps us determine weaknesses and establish points for monitoring and evaluation. Based on our inspection, we design a plan customized to your site and to your potential pest problems. After planning a custom system, we install it at your location. We use various types of technology to help us monitor for pests, and we connect it to our systems remotely. Unlike traditional pest monitoring systems, which require in-person inspections, we are able to monitor unobtrusively and remotely, 24-hours a day. We combine remote monitoring with regular physical inspections to ensure that we are not missing anything. This constant monitoring allows us to schedule services when, and only when, you need them. In addition, you do not need to call to schedule extermination services. WE schedule them as soon as we spot a potential problem, so that there is never an opportunity for pests to become an infestation.

Frequent Questions
Is Anticimex Smart better than traditional pest control systems?
Anticimex Smart can be used in conjunction with traditional control methods to further enhance our capabilities of monitoring and control. We consider both options to be valuable when implemented in the correct manner and under the appropriate circumstances.
Anticimex Smart is superior to traditional pest control when non-toxic, green and sustainable solutions are required. Since Anticimex Smart Technology does not use any pesticides or rodenticides, it is an effective way to control and monitor pest activity without impacting the environment.
In an urban environment where the source of rodents is located in the sewers, Anticimex Smart technology is the only system on the market that can be implemented within the sewer infrastructure to control the rodent population at its source. This option is considered superior to traditional efforts as it does not use biocides that may end up adversely affecting aquatic animals, birds and other wildlife.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST PEST CONTROL SERVICE VISITS? (INTERIOR)
Common preparations include; cleaning the area to be treated, removing clutter, picking up pet food, and putting away open food.
All children’s toys and personal items should be picked up from the floor and moved outside of the treatment area.
It is recommended that all windows be closed prior to arrival.
People and pets must be out of treatment areas until the products have dried after the treatment. Some treatments may require additional, more specific, preparations. These will be communicated with you in advance of your service.
WILL TREATMENT AFFECT MY GARDEN?
If you have a garden, merely advise the technician of the location of any edible plants when they arrive. They will avoid treating near the garden.
Many of our materials may be safe when applied up to the dripline of the plants (the area the plant would drip on when wet). We will however implement a larger buffer than is required to further help protect your safety.
I HAVE A FISHPOND; CAN THE TREATMENTS NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE POND OR FISH?
Our technicians are careful to avoid sensitive areas, such as ponds, during treatments.
I HAVE A POOL; CAN THE TREATMENTS NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE POOL?
It will not affect your pool. Viking has carefully selected only the best materials with our primary concern being the safety of your family, pets as well as the environment. These materials are then carefully applied by our highly trained pest management professionals in a manner that all but eliminates contact with non-target treatment sites like pools and other sensitive environments.
WHAT SAFETY PROCEDURES MUST I FOLLOW AFTER TREATMENT?
Always consult your service report for product-specific precautionary requirements; these are emailed to you upon completion of the treatment.
Avoid all treated surfaces until dry. Once most materials have dried, they pose little risk and you may proceed as you normally would with your daily life.
Your technician will discuss any necessary safety precautions with you at the time of service.
I HAVE PETS, ARE YOUR TREATMENTS PET-FRIENDLY?
Viking’s certified technicians care about you, your family, and your pets. Please inform your service technician you have pets and s/he will take the necessary precautions.

I NOTICED MORE BUGS THAN USUAL AFTER TREATMENT, WHY IS THAT?

I AM SEEING ANTS IN BETWEEN MY SERVICE VISITS; WHAT CAN I DO IN THE MEANTIME?
Use a napkin or paper towel to kill the ants.
