From bug-infested beds in Paris to plant-killing pests in European & Brazilian forests and Middle Eastern deserts – the Cambridge company’s monitoring technology is making a world of difference for a range of clients from governments to hotel chains whose products, terrain and properties are being infested by predatory insects.

Founded in 2018, Spotta’s early-detection system for insect infestations protects businesses against financial losses and disruption. The pest-detecting technology is powered by advanced algorithms and proprietary IoT hardware and is an affordable, automated and real-time monitoring platform that can be applied to any insect, anywhere.

In Q4 2023, Spotta announced a successful £ 3-million growth investment round to enable its advanced technology products, such as the bed bug Bed Pod detectors to be deployed worldwide and into new markets. The smart sensors can be installed anywhere pests infest, such as forests and hotel rooms.

Spotta continues its expansion into agriculture, forestry and horticulture to help protect global crop production from pests and disease.

The company’s early investors Martlet, Wren Capital, Remus Capital, Cambridge Angels and Cambridge Capital Group invested in the latest funding round alongside new investor GrowthWorks.
