How Shoo works
One cockroach lives in your cupboards, another comes up the drain. Shoo starts with the species, then points you only to what suits it.
Why we built it
Someone sees a cockroach at night, buys the first spray on the shelf, and the problem gets worse: the spray scatters them deeper into the walls. The right answer was bait, and the right bait depended on which cockroach it was.
Shoo does that check for you: photograph the bug on the scan page, learn what it is, and follow a plan that starts with free fixes, so you buy only what that plan needs. The bug guide walks you through the same check by eye.
Shoo is a Soifon product, built in Albania for homes anywhere. The detector works on this website today, and a phone app for iPhone and Android is planned.
Inside the detector
What happens between your photo and your plan.
-
1
Your photo
Sent over an encrypted connection to an AI vision model with a list of species and their tells.
-
2
What it saw
It reports the features it used, like stripes, bands or wing length.
-
3
How sure
High, medium or not sure. Not sure means a new photo, never a guess.
-
4
Your plan
Built from the species, your room and who lives with you.
We will never
Show reviews we did not receive, numbers we cannot back, or claims like "kills 99.9%".
Never on our shelf
Ultrasonic repellers, glue traps for animals or poisons for wildlife, now or once the shop opens.
We will always
Say when a professional is the better answer, and tell you what to ask them.
