A method and apparatus for creating a heat map of vermin within a geographic area is provided herein. During operation a camera (and/or other sensors) that are fixed and/or mobile are utilized to detect vermin. The camera and other sensors themselves may be equipped with the capabilities to detect vermin and report the detection of vermin and their location back to a server, or alternatively, a video feed of the camera and/or other sensors (and their locations) may be provided to the server for the server to attempt to detect vermin. Regardless of how vermin are detected in a particular area (e.g., via a sensor itself performing the detection, or via a server performing the detection via viewing a camera feed), the detected vermin are utilized to create a heat map of vermin for a particular area. The heat map may be provided to health authorities to aid in eradication of vermin.
