About Us

OcuTrap is redefining wildlife and nuisance animal control with smart, humane, and connected trapping solutions. Founded by Graham Patterson and Brian Quispe, our mission is to make animal management safer, more efficient, and more responsible through the power of technology.

Our Story

OcuTrap began at Lehigh University’s Accelerator Program, where the concept quickly gained recognition and went on to win the Thalheimer Grand Prize in 2021, the university’s top entrepreneurship award.

Today, OcuTrap is headquartered in Austin, Texas, where we design, test, and manufacture innovative trapping systems built for professional wildlife control operators, municipalities, and organizations that need reliable solutions.

Smarter Animal Trapping

Traditional traps require frequent manual checks, create unnecessary stress for non-target animals, and often waste valuable time. OcuTrap solves these challenges by integrating:

Advanced Sensors – detect animal presence and activity inside the trap.

Built-in Camera and GPS – monitor traps remotely and ensure precise tracking.

Mobile App Control – arm, disarm, or release traps from anywhere.

Cloud Connectivity – real-time updates, alerts, and data logging for improved efficiency.

This combination reduces labor costs, minimizes non-target captures, and ensures a more humane approach to animal control.

Our Vision

We believe wildlife control should be smarter, safer, and more sustainable. By combining modern IoT technology with field-tested hardware, OcuTrap helps pest control companies, municipalities, and property managers save time, improve safety, and deliver better outcomes.

Join the Movement

OcuTrap is more than a product. It is a shift toward a new standard of animal management. Whether you are a wildlife professional or part of an organization looking for efficient solutions, OcuTrap gives you the better, smarter way to catch nuisance animals.
