About us

Our Story

In early 2016, Arctic Systems was established in Denmark by pest control expert Rune Barslund and product developer Alistair Morton. Their shared vision was to create a poison-free rodent control system that was both effective and user-friendly. Since its inception, Arctic Systems has remained committed to developing the finest user-centric smart city platform. This platform empowers industries to monitor rodent activities within and around their respective sites.

Over the past years, our RATMO® project has led us to regions including the USA, Middle East, Africa, and Northern Europe. Here, we’ve conducted testing under extreme conditions, including live tests spanning temperatures from +50°C to -22°C.

Back in the laboratory, our devices undergo rigorous testing involving up to 3000 empty snaps, subjecting the electronics and plastic components to the utmost stress.

Furthermore, a military drop test was conducted, entailing 28 drops from a height of 1.2 meters onto a hard surface, targeting all corners, edges, and sides. Impressively, the units successfully withstood these tests without encountering any issues.
