The present invention relates to an equipment for attracting, capturing, counting and monitoring flying insects of all species and is particularly applicable to those which cause damage to agricultural crops and are considered to be hazardous to public health and comprises a Ultra Violet lamp in the colorless plastic ring and a pheromone reservoir. The plate with the insect inlet channels houses the Infra-Red sensors and the photographic camera, which in turn is housed in a sealed housing, The upper part which fits in turn in the previously said watertight housing, houses the photovoltaic panel, the microprocessor, the Global Position System GPS receiver, the Global System for Mobile signal transmitter and receiver module, and the Wireless Fidelity—WIFI transmitter and receiver module, a rechargeable battery and a micro USB socket.

A device, system, and method of controlling pests are disclosed. A pest control device includes a sensor having a sensor cell and a controller. A surface of the sensor cell is coated with an agent that reacts with a targeted biochemical analyte secreted by pests. The controller is coupled to the sensor and is configured to receive sensor data from the sensor cell indicative of a rate of change in sensor mass detected on the surface of the sensor cell, determine whether the rate of change in the sensor mass based on the received sensor data exceeds a predefined threshold rate, and transmit a pest detection alert notification to a server in response to a determination that the rate of change exceeds the predetermined threshold rate.

A tick dragging device comprises a fabric to be dragged along the terrain. The device attracts ticks to the fabric. The fabric comprises at least one pocket for a bait. The pocket spreads the effect of the bait to ticks hiding in the undergrowth. A selection of baits may be used to attract different species.

The present disclosure provides for a composition and method for attracting bed bugs to a trap or to a location where an insecticide or pesticide is present, or to a trap or a location where a bed bug infestation can be detected. The present disclosure provides for a composition for attracting bed bugs that includes one or more of methyl diethanolamine (MDEA), monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), and dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS); a carrier; and optionally one or more amides selected from oleamide, octanamide, nonanamide, and laurylamide; urea, biuret, or triuret; and one or more aliphatic fatty acids. The present disclosure further provides for a method for treating an article by applying the composition to the article, where the article comprises a device for trapping or detecting bed bugs or a device for treating a bed bug infestation.

Disclosed are real-time insect surveillance sensor devices and methods that use a colorimetric readout for detecting insect disease vectors (such as mosquitoes which can transmit pathogens such as DENV, CHIKV, and ZIKV). The method involves an attractive or feeding solution combined with detector conjugates. The conjugate can specifically detect proteins present in insect saliva and/or proteins specific to mosquito-borne pathogens.

The disclosure provides for a bed bug monitor that allows for detection and capture of bed bugs, and uses thereof.

Mosquito control systems and devices are described herein. The devices include a connector positioned at a first end of the device, the connector configured to couple to a light bulb socket to provide power to the device; an LED light source positioned at a second end of the device; an electrocuting mechanism disposed between the connector and the LED light source, the electrocuting mechanism configured to electrocute the mosquitos upon the mosquitos upon contact; a carbon dioxide generating device configured to generate and release carbon dioxide to attract the mosquitos to the device; and a heater configured to generate and release heat to attract the mosquitos to the device.

A water movement system and method configured to eradicate and/or control mosquito or insect populations that lay eggs in treated, stagnant water environments. The system is comprised of a water pump configured to function in cooperation with an underwater insect attractant device. The insect attractant device is suitably constructed to generate carbon dioxide for attracting insects to a water extermination zone or trap. In one embodiment, the underwater insect attractant device contains organisms such as mycelia for generating the carbon dioxide. Insects are attracted by the carbon dioxide generation device to reproduce in the water extermination zone, using the treated water to lay eggs, and grow larvae and pupae for the subject insects. A solar-powered water pump device is configured to direct the flow of water from the water extermination zone toward filters of the water pump device to trap and kill insect progeny including eggs, larvae, and pupae.

The present invention provides a mosquito trapping device, which comprises a carbon dioxide generating module, a temperature control module, a humidity control module, and a mosquito-killing module. The carbon dioxide generating module comprises a container A and a container B, a solution in the container A reacts with a solution in the container B to generate carbon dioxide; the temperature control module controls a temperature of the mosquito trapping device to be between 38 C. and 45 C.; the humidity control module controls humidity of the mosquito trapping device to be between 50% and 80%; the mosquito-killing module generates a guiding wind having a wind speed of 0.7 m/s to 15 m/s. The present invention has a good mosquito-attracting effect and a desirable mosquito-killing ability.

An insect trapping system includes an enclosed container having an entrance hole formed in a vertical wall and an acoustic lure device located within the container. The enclosed container may be formed from a transparent material. The system may also include a support stand, formed from a dark-colored material, and used to support the container.
