The Power Duo: How the Sewer Assassin Bait Station and FogTrace Work Together to Revolutionize Sewer Based Pest Control
In the world of pest control, time is money—and unfortunately, traditional methods for identifying pest entry points through plumbing have been slow, uncertain, and costly. When rodents, roaches, or drain flies repeatedly invade a structure, technicians are often left playing a frustrating game of trial and error, inspecting every possible access point before finally asking, “Could it be the plumbing?”
By the time most pest management professionals (PMPs) turn their attention to the sewer & plumbing system, weeks or even months of treatments, callbacks, and customer complaints may have already passed. That’s where the Sewer Assassin system changes everything—and when paired with FogTrace, it becomes an absolute game-changer.
Start Smart: Use the Sewer Assassin to Prove Plumbing Is the Problem
The Sewer Assassin bait station is the first and only tool that turns any plumbing clean-out (in-ground or in-wall) into an active monitoring and baiting station. When deployed into the sewer line, it offers PMPs something they’ve never had before—proof.
- If you deploy the Sewer Assassin and the bait disappears, you now have irrefutable evidence that rodents or roaches are using the plumbing system to enter the structure.
- No more guessing. No more waiting for secondary signs. You know where the problem starts, and you know exactly what to do next.
Next Step: Confirm It with a Plumbing Smoke Test Using FogTrace
Once you confirm pest activity in the plumbing line, it’s time to take the next step—a plumbing smoke test using FogTrace, the newest innovation from Sewer Assassin.
FogTrace uses commercial-grade fog to push harmless vapor through the plumbing system, revealing:
- Open or deteriorated pipe connections
- Broken seals or cracked fittings
- Abandoned plumbing lines
- Improperly capped clean-outs or floor drains
In just minutes, you can uncover how and where pests are entering, and give your client a clear path toward real, long-term solutions.
Customers Expect You to Know What's Happening Below the Surface
Today’s customers expect answers. When pests keep showing up, they look to you—their PMP—for solutions, not excuses. You can’t afford to wait weeks wondering if the plumbing might be the issue.
With the Sewer Assassin + FogTrace combo, you now have a proven process:
- Deploy the Sewer Assassin to confirm pest activity in plumbing & sewer lines.
- Perform a FogTrace smoke test to expose hidden entry points.
- Diagnose with confidence, knowing you’re on the way to fixing the root problem—not just symptoms.
Don’t Get Left Behind
The pest control industry is evolving. Sewer-based infestations are becoming more common in urban and commercial settings, and the demand for smart, efficient solutions is higher than ever.
If you’re still relying on surface inspections and spot treatments, you’re missing what’s happening beneath your feet—and you’re falling behind competitors who are already using this system to close jobs faster, reduce callbacks, and win long-term clients.
Take control of sewer-based pests. Deploy the Sewer Assassin. Diagnose with FogTrace. Deliver results.
It’s time to go deeper. It’s time to take the lead.

FAQs on How Sewer Assassin and FogTrace Work Together
What is the Sewer Assassin bait station?
The Sewer Assassin is a rodent bait station that replaces a standard 3–4 inch plumbing clean‑out cap and turns it into a legal monitoring and baiting point inside the sewer line. It works just like an exterior rodent station, but is positioned directly in the plumbing where sewer rats and other pests are entering a structure..
What is FogTrace?
FogTrace is a plumbing smoke test machine built specifically for pest control professionals that uses dense, non‑toxic fog instead of smoke candles. It fills the plumbing system so fog escapes through cracks, gaps, and faulty connections, visually revealing the same routes pests use to enter homes and businesses.
How do Sewer Assassin and FogTrace work together?
First, the Sewer Assassin bait station is installed in a clean‑out to prove that pests are actively using the plumbing system by monitoring or baiting in the line. Once activity is confirmed, FogTrace is used to push fog through the plumbing, exposing the exact breaks, open connections, or abandoned lines that are letting pests into the structure.
Why should pest control pros start with the Sewer Assassin?
Starting with the Sewer Assassin allows technicians to quickly determine whether the plumbing is actually the source of recurring rodent or roach problems instead of guessing at multiple entry points. This “prove it first” step helps avoid weeks of callbacks and treatments on doors, walls, or roofs when the pests are really coming from the sewer line.
When is FogTrace used in the process?
FogTrace is used after pest activity has been detected in the plumbing line with the Sewer Assassin or when breached or faulty plumbing is already suspected. It becomes the diagnostic tool that shows customers exactly where the system is compromised so plumbers and PMPs can plan permanent repairs or exclusions.
