ToadTurret uses a camera and on-device AI to spot cane toads at night, then responds automatically so you don't have to.
Cane toads poison native animals and pets, and they outcompete local species. A single toad can lay 30,000 eggs per clutch, so manual catching can only do so much.
We built ToadTurret to help reduce the impact on our own property, and now it's available for yours.

From detection to response, here's what happens when a toad shows up
The camera runs an AI model trained on thousands of real cane toad images, picking them out from native frogs, pets, and other animals.
A servo-controlled nozzle aims at the detected toad and delivers a spray. Only the target area is affected.
Every detection is logged with a photo. You can review sightings, confidence scores, and activity from your phone or the web dashboard.
Wake up, open the app, and check what your ToadTurret got up to. Every detection is there with a photo and confidence score.
"We were losing quolls and goannas to toads every wet season. Since setting this up, we've had far fewer showing up on the property."
"It's great being able to see exactly what's been detected each night. The photos make it easy to spot any false positives too."
"Setup was straightforward and it started catching toads the first night. Happy with it so far."
