Frye Inspection Tool (F.I.T.) – Inspection tool to identify rodent entry points

Developed in collaboration with urban entomologist Matt Frye, Ph.D., the F.I.T. tool is an essential aid for pest management professionals and building managers, allowing for the quick and accurate identification of rodent entry points. This compact tool helps measure suspicious cracks and openings to confirm whether they are large enough to allow a mouse or rat to enter, thereby eliminating uncertainty during inspections. It also allows for easy photo documentation of issues, including the actual size of openings, droppings, or gnaw marks, and facilitates communication about rodent risks to clients and property owners. A portion of the proceeds from this product is donated to the Pest Management Foundation to fund education, research, and training in pest management.

Developed with an expert urban entomologist
Designed in collaboration with Dr. Matt Frye, a renowned urban entomologist, the F.I.T. tool offers a reliable method grounded in scientific expertise for assessing rodent intrusion risks.

Precise measurement of openings — inch and centimeter scales
The tool includes graduated scales in inches and centimeters, allowing for the precise measurement of any crack, crevice, or hole that could serve as a rodent entry point.

Clear photographic documentation
The F.I.T. allows for capturing clear photos illustrating the actual size of openings, droppings, and gnaw marks, supporting inspection reports and client recommendations.

Simplified communication with clients and owners
Thanks to its visual reference, the tool makes it easier to explain rodent risks to clients, demonstrating why a seemingly small opening still poses a serious risk requiring exclusion work.

Identification of droppings and gnaw marks
In addition to measuring openings, the tool helps identify droppings and gnaw marks, two key indicators of rodent activity on a site.
