Traditional rodent control is broken. Pest control professionals are caught between increasingly strict regulations banning rodenticides and customers demanding effective, humane solutions.
Meanwhile, conventional traps require constant monitoring, provide zero data, and often fail when you need them most.
The result? A $25 billion (US) industry operating blind, with methods that harm the environment, create liability, and leave customers frustrated.
In 2020, we realized the industry was asking the wrong question. Instead of "How do we make better poison?" we asked "How do we eliminate the need for poison entirely?"
The answer came from combining precision engineering with smart technology. What if a trap could identify exactly where a rodent was positioned, deliver instant humane euthanasia, reset itself, and report real-time data—all without human intervention?
After 200,000+ hours of field-testing across agriculture, retail, and pest control sectors, that "what if" became reality.
Our smart trap technology has demonstrated:
Field data from thousands of deployments proves this isn't just better technology—it's a fundamental shift in how rodent control works.
Meet the minds behind Nabber — part invention lab, part rodent rebellion.
Mark is the design engineer: meticulous, methodical, and occasionally mistaken for a mad scientist (we let him have that). He’s the older one — check the hairline. With a background in industrial tool development, Mark has owned, operated, and sold several companies built around precision and performance.
Ken is the business engineer — the translator of Mark’s genius into things the rest of the world can actually use. He’s the one who keeps the train on the tracks. With three decades in professional services across business and engineering, Ken has helped build top-performing companies.
We teamed up in 2020 in Kelowna, Canada — a quiet corner of the country better known for vineyards, orchards and beaches - with a shared belief that the pest control industry was ripe for a smarter, cleaner, more honest solution, and just the right mix of shop talk, bad puns, and build-it-yourself grit to pull it off. Nabber is what happens when deep tech meets good humour, and two guys decide to stop complaining about a problem and start engineering the fix.
Two guys. One mission: Outsmart the smartest pests on Earth (and not set the bench on fire).
While others focus on better poisons or basic electronic traps, we've created an intelligent ecosystem:
Our proprietary SenseTEC™ system identifies precise rodent positioning without physical contact—it can't be learned or avoided.
Cervical dislocation in under 30 milliseconds—the veterinary gold standard for humane processing.
Self-resetting mechanism operates for months without intervention, with automatic bait dispensing and carcass collection.
Onboard species recognition eliminates bycatch, targeting only intended species.
Real-time monitoring, environmental data collection, and predictive analytics transform guesswork into strategy.
Reduce service calls and increase capture rates by more than 50%.
Eliminate liability from poison use, reduce maintenance requirements, and provide tenants with verifiable humane practices.
Protect crops without environmental impact, comply with organic certifications, and optimize placement through data insights.
Target invasive species precisely while protecting native wildlife through AI species recognition.
