A rodent repellent system for repelling rodents from an area is provided. The rodent repellent system comprises a dispersing mechanism and an amount of natural peppermint oil in fluid communication with the dispersing mechanism. The natural peppermint oil has a peppermint aroma with the dispersing mechanism releasing the peppermint aroma into the area.

An improved bug killing gun includes a compressed gas source fluidly connected to a chamber connected to a barrel. A compressed gas release mechanism is connected to the compressed gas source. A projectile storage magazine stores particulate projectiles and is located adjacent the chamber. A projectile loading mechanism moves the projectiles into the chamber from the magazine. A cocking mechanism is mechanically connected to the compressed gas source, the compressed gas release mechanism, and the projectile loading mechanism. When the gun is cocked, the projectile loading mechanism loads a quantity of the particulate projectiles into the chamber. When the compressed gas release mechanism is activated the projectiles are ejected from the chamber into the barrel and expelled from the gun. The gun optionally includes a laser sighting mechanism. The battery operated laser sighting mechanism may be removably attached to the barrel or permanently attached with an integral, trigger operated switch.

A bug-removal vacuum machine has a horizontal deck, and a structure providing a trapezoidal-shaped air passage directing insects drawn by vacuum-induced air flow through an electrified killing matrix, and into a collection tray

A handheld vacuum assembly for the capture and collection of small insects that includes a vacuum body defining a suction chamber, a motor operably configured to generate a vacuum downstream in the suction chamber, a funnel member defining a suction channel located downstream of the suction chamber and a suction channel area therein, a valve disposed within the suction channel that is configured to open and close to inhibit or prevent insects from leaving the funnel member, and a filter assembly disposed upstream of the suction channel, downstream of the motor, having a porous membrane member, having a filter cap selectively removably coupled to the porous membrane member and having a plurality of selectively removable strips disposed thereon and each having an adhesive surface oriented in a direction facing the distal tip of the funnel member.

A device for detecting and marking ticks and tick bites on a body or limb. The device has an image capturing device that is in communication with image recognition software. Images of skin are analyzed to detect objects consistent with ticks or tick bites. Once such object is detected, the device automatically disperses a marking material in the proximity of the detected tick or tick bite.

A device for detecting and addressing offending objects that are found in a fluid. The device has an image capturing device that receives images of a substrate such as a fluid. The captured images are analyzed by an image recognition system. If the image recognition system detects the presence of an offending objectthe device performs further steps to remove or neutralize the offending object.

A portable collecting rod that includes a rod member; an external ring, which is connected to one end of the rod member; a flexible internal ring, which is connected to one end of the rod member provided with the external ring, and is correspondingly disposed at the inner position of the external ring. An endpoint of the flexible internal ring penetrates the interior of the rod member; and an operating member, one portion of which is disposed on the exterior of the rod member, and another portion is embedded in the interior of the rod member and is connected to the flexible internal ring. The user can movably deform and change the size of the flexible internal ring by operating the operating member.
