Rat infestation has been a long-standing problem for humans, especially in high-density cities such as Hong Kong. In addition, the structure of vertical cities makes the problem more complicated. One of the main reasons is that rats can obtain food from restaurants, but humans lack ways to eradicate them. Eventually, the mice continue to multiply and maintain a certain number. The purpose of this project (Rat Colony Detector) is to provide an effective way to eliminate rats. By installing a GPS and altimeter on the mouse, the mouse’s path can be tracked. We also collected data on the gathering, work and rest of rats, and finally estimated and discovered the nest. At the same time, through visual images, it provides citizens and rodent exterminators with visibility and understanding of the severity of rodent infestation in the area. This move is expected to narrow the scope of rodent control, reduce the cost of rodent control, and greatly improve the effectiveness of rodent control.
