AI-powered pest detection for your unused garage car
WFH professionals suffer pest infestations like rodents in their unused garage-stored cars, causing damage and costly repairs.
Users upload photos or connect garage cams to GarageSentinel's AI, which scans for rodent signs like droppings or nests. Get instant alerts and damage risk scores to act before costly repairs. Track trends over time to prevent infestations proactively.
