Systems and methods of restoring a lake including dredging, island creation, water treatment, real estate development, computer modeling of environmental conditions, wave height reduction, sediment removal and encapsulation, bathymetry contouring, littoral zone restoration, plant restoration, and/or fish restoration.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for exterminating pests by injecting high-temperature steam into the ground including sand and the like, wherein a needle rod fixing plate (20) in which a plurality of needle rods (30) is arranged and fixed at the left and right sides thereof is coupled with a lever plate (12) rotated upward and downward by an operating cylinder (10) at a backside of autonomous power equipment (2), a steam generation unit (16) is provided to generate high-temperature steam enabling insect extermination and sterilization and supply the steam to steam injection holes (36) of the needle rods (30), a steam generation unit (16) and a needle rod (30) are connected by a hose, a steam distributor (44-1, 44-2) for supplying the steam to each needle rod (30) is provided on the hose, both ends of the steam distributor (44-1, 44-2) are coupled with a cover (48) so as to be sealed, a heating wire (49) for increasing the temperature of the steam again is provided therein, the needle rods (30) are inserted and moved forward in the bowels of the earth (6) by operating the autonomous power equipment (2), and a pest extermination operation unit (4) includes a control unit (80) for controlling the continuous injection of steam into the ground (6) so as to exterminate insects and sterilize the ground by enabling the dry or wet high-temperature steam to continuously permeate into the ground.

A grain pest control apparatus includes an input unit adapted to accept input of grain; a heating unit adapted to heat the grain supplied from the input unit; and a removal unit adapted to remove heat from the grain heated by the heating unit, wherein the removal unit includes a cylindrical body provided with an air passage hole in a wall surface and adapted to receive the heated grain and a heat collecting chamber installed by surrounding the cylindrical body and connected to an exhaust channel, and removes heat from the heated grain by causing air supplied into the cylindrical body to pass through the air passage hole and escape via the heat collecting chamber.

An aerial drone includes a pest sensor, an environmental sensor, a drone on-board computer, and a pest abatement mechanism. The pest sensor senses a pest based on emissions from the pest. The environmental sensor detects an environment of the pest. The drone on-board computer identifies a pest type of the pest based on the emission from the pest, and establishes a risk level posed by the presence of the pest based on the pest type and the environment of the pest. The pest abatement mechanism performs a pest abatement of the pest based on the pest type and the risk level posed by the presence of the pest.

A trap for assisting in controlling pest populations, in particular rodent, and especially rats and/or mice, including: a lower housing, and a false floor including a trapdoor, and a ramp, wherein the lower housing has a lower end that sits on the ground and an upper end. The false floor is attached to the upper end of the lower housing. The trap door is triggered to suddenly collapse when the rodent places a sufficient amount of its body weight onto the trapdoor. The ramp leads up from ground level to the false floor so that when in use, a suitable liquid or gas is contained within the lower housing, and a suitable bait is placed on the false floor to attract a rodent and maneuver it onto the trapdoor. The rodent is able to easily climb up to the false floor by way of the ramp, and when the rodent moves towards the bait, and places sufficient weight upon the trapdoor, the trapdoor suddenly collapse under it, thereby causing it to drop into the lower housing, wherein the rodent drown in the liquid or suffocates in the gas.
