Various embodiments include systems and methods of arthropod detection using an electronic arthropod detection device. The electronic arthropod detection device may scan a surface or a subject using a first sensor that is sensitive to a first band of electromagnetic radiation to detect the presence or likely presence of an arthropod. A camera sensitive to a second band of electromagnetic radiation captures at least one image and provide the image(s) to an object detection model in response to determining that an arthropod is or is likely present. A processor may initiate an arthropod detected procedure in response to detecting an arthropod in the image(s). In some embodiments, the first sensor may be a millimeter wave radar, a terahertz radar or a far infrared sensor.

An insect trap (100) and method for trapping and/or killing insects are disclosed. The insect trap comprises an enclosure (10) for receiving a human or an animal, and comprising an opening (12) configured to allow air to flow out of the enclosure and prevent insects from entering the enclosure, and a trapping unit (30) outside of the enclosure and in fluidic communication with the opening. The trapping unit comprises a heatable container (32) comprising either an adhesive material (31) for attracting and trapping an insect or a material comprising insecticide for killing an insect.

A termite shield for protecting wooden frame structures comprising a cellulous sheet impregnated with a non repellant insecticide. The shield is placed between the sill/mudplate and the foundation and extends upward between the siding and interior space.

Pitfall traps, coasters, devices, apparatus, systems and methods for capturing crawling insects, such as bed bugs, and/or for preventing the insects from climbing up furniture legs to furniture such as beds, cots, chairs and any type of furniture where a person would rest or sleep. Smooth slick surfaces and/or pesticide treated surfaces can be located on underside facing horizontal or angled surfaces used with or without sticky surfaces which all can be used to prevent insect and bed bug travel and assist in helping trap the insects and bed bugs.

The repellent system includes a repellent device, a control device, a message device, and a power device. The repellent device is one for repelling or trapping animals or insects. The control device includes a processing module, a driver module, and a wireless communication module. The driver module is connected to the repellent device and is data-linked with the processing module. The wireless communication module is data-linked with the processing module. The message device communicating with the wireless communication module. The power device electrically connected to the processing module. A user, via the message device such as a cellular phone, obtains status data from the repellent device through the control device, and controls, configures, and adjusts the function and operation of the repellent device in a wireless and two-way interactive manner so that the convenience and applicability of the repellent device is greatly enhanced.

A light, in particular, a light having a fly killing function that can be used for lighting and killing flies including at least one LED chip, a fly storage means, a negative pressure fan, a fan hanger, a ventilation net, a power supply; wherein the fly storage means is connected to the fan hanger, the LED chip is secured to an lower end of the fly storage means, the fly storage means including an air inlet and a fly storage groove, the negative pressure fan is mounted onto the fan hanger above the fly storage means, a gap is provided between the blades of the negative pressure fan and an upper end of the fly storage means to allow flies to go through; the ventilation net includes a plurality of ventilation holes having a size that is able to stop flies from passing therethrough, and the ventilation net is provided circumferentially between the outside wall of the fan hanger and the outside wall of the fly storage means, and the fan hanger, the ventilation net and the fly storage means form a substantially closed space except the ventilation holes and the air inlet.

Described herein are systems and methods for audio-based insect activity monitoring and prediction. According to an aspect, a method includes receiving, by an insect activity prediction system, audio data associated with at least one microphone in contact with a surface of a plant. The insect activity prediction system inputs the audio data into an insect activity model to generate an insect activity prediction. The insect activity prediction system uses the insect activity model to generate an insect activity prediction of a presence of insects and at least one species of the insects based at least in part on the audio data. The insect activity prediction can be output to a user interface.

Various embodiments include systems and methods of arthropod detection using an electronic arthropod detection device. A processor of an electronic arthropod detection device may scan a surface or a subject using the electronic arthropod detection device and capture at least one image while scanning the surface or the subject using the electronic arthropod detection device. The processor may determine whether the at least one image includes a region of interest (ROI) corresponding to an arthropod and provide an identification area of the at least one image to an object detection model in response to determining that the at least one image includes an ROI. The processor may initiate an arthropod detected procedure in response to receiving a result from the object detection model that indicates that an arthropod is detected within the identification area of the at least one image.
