ToadTurret uses a camera and on-device AI to spot cane toads at night, then responds automatically so you don't have to.
Caught on camera
A real spray, slowed down at the moment it reaches the toad and the toad hops away.
A seven-second loop, slowed to ⅛ speed for the spray hitting the toad and its hop away. No sound. Pause any time using the video controls.
The view in ToadOps
In ToadOps, a comparison slider lets you review images from before and after spraying.
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.
