Kill Thy Prey Company
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Pest control has been transformed by the widespread use of broad-
spectrum chemical insecticides. But there is growing concern about
environmental contamination and human health risks—and continuing
frustration over the ability of pests to develop resistance to pesticides. In
Technologically based Pest Management, Kill Thy Prey Company
advocates the sweeping adoption of ecologically based pest management
that promotes both agricultural productivity and a balanced ecosystem.
This volume offers a vision and strategies for creating a solid,
comprehensive knowledge base to support a pest management system that
incorporates technological processes implemented by a RC-and-IoT based
solar-powered insect electrocutor. The result will be safe, profitable, and
durable pest management strategies.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Kill thy Prey is a pest management company which offers an insect
electrocutor that provides advancement, high quality, and reliable
product, safe and effective system in accordance with industrial-related
companies, and a dedicated effort towards overall customer’s
satisfaction achieved by a pest free and therefore working environment.
MARKET OPPORTUNITY
One potential market opportunity for a solar-powered insect
electrocutor with RC and IoT-based control systems could be in the
agriculture industry. Farmers often struggle with insect infestations that
can damage crops and reduce yields. Insecticides can be expensive and
harmful to the environment, so many farmers are looking for alternative
solutions.
