The present invention relates to a mosquito-killing device, characterized in that it comprises a casing and a control unit; the casing is provided with a first opening for mosquitoes and insects to enter; a carbon dioxide generating device, a fan and an electric grid are provided inside the casing; the control unit controls operation of the carbon dioxide generating device, the fan and the electric grid.

The present invention relates to a mosquito-killing illuminating lamp which comprises a casing and a control unit. The casing comprises an illuminating portion and a mosquito-killing portion. The illuminating portion is provided with illuminating components therein. An electrolysis carbon dioxide generating device and a fan are provided inside the mosquito-killing portion. The control unit controls operation of the illuminating components, the carbon dioxide generating device and the fan. The electrolysis carbon dioxide generating device comprises a box body and electrolysis components. The electrolysis components are provided inside the box body. An electrolyte solution is provided inside the box body. The box body is provided with a venting hole. The electrolysis components comprise a graphite electrode and a cathode plate. After conduction between the graphite electrode and the cathode plate, electrolysis is performed on the electrolyte solution to generate carbon dioxide.

A discrete and safe automated insect monitoring system includes a housing, an interior chamber within the housing, and a light source arranged within the housing to illuminate at least a portion of a floor surface of the interior chamber. A multi-pixel optical sensor is arranged within the housing so that a field of view of the sensor comprehends a substantial portion of the floor surface. A processing circuit arranged within the housing receives optical data from the multi-pixel optical sensor, analyzes the optical data to detect the intrusion of an insect or other object into the interior chamber by comparing most recently received optical data to previously received optical data, and generates an indication in response to detecting the intrusion of an insect or other object. Detection and/or classification results can be wirelessly forwarded to another device, to alert appropriate personnel.

In an embodiment, as insect trap is disclosed including: a trap portion including a frame and a membrane having an adhesive surface, wherein the membrane is at least partially contained within the frame and is configured to adhere to an insect; and a base portion including a lighting element and a housing portion, wherein the housing portion is configured to receive and retain the trap portion when engaged therewith.

A pest detection device including a capacitive sensor having a plurality of traces that can be capacitively sensed using self-capacitance or mutual capacitance measurements. The sensor including conductive shield traces to facilitate a number of sensing applications. The sensor including a coated portion to facilitate crawling of pests over the sensing area of the circuit board.

A system and method for treating head lice, and, more particularly, but not exclusively, to a system to trap and/or eradicate head lice from a subject passively.

An insect trap comprising a housing comprising an upper chamber and a lower chamber, a cover, a meshy accumulation chamber, and a side wall of the upper chamber is a grate having slot-like openings providing a passage for air and insects, while an axial fan is mounted in the lower chamber, the axial fan configured to transfer the air from the upper chamber to the accumulation chamber. Insect attraction means are two electromagnetic radiation sources, a first being an infrared radiation source arranged on an outer surface of a wall of the lower chamber and formed by a heating element arranged on an inner surface of the wall, and a second arranged in a center of the upper chamber and being a combined infrared and ultraviolet radiation source. A frequency of both radiation sources is within a bioresonance range of infrared waves, while an intensity of the radiation of the second source is greater than an intensity of the radiation of the first source. An escape inhibition means is provided in the trap, shaped as a truncated cone grid directed towards the accumulation chamber, and a height of the grid is less than a height of the accumulation chamber. A heat-insulating element is arranged between the fan and a wall of the lower chamber, and a lower portion of the upper chamber is provided with a conical narrowing towards the lower chamber and has an opening that is connected to an edge of a ventilation channel.

An insect trapping device having a base and a cartridge is provided. The cartridge has an adhesive portion that is positioned adjacent a shroud when the cartridge is attached to the base. The shroud has an electric heating element which heats the shroud and the adhesive portion. The heated adhesive portion mimics biological tissue to function as an insect attractant. The insect trapping device can have additional insect attractants as well, such as a lighting source.

An insect trapping device having a base and a cartridge is provided. The cartridge has a shell and an insert. The insert is releaseably retained within the shell and has an adhesive portion for trapping insects. Gravitational force can pull the insert from the shell when the cartridge is removed from the base and the shell is squeezed by a user. The insect trapping device can have insect attractants, such as a light source and a heating element.

A replaceable insert for an insect trapping device is provided. The insert is releaseably retained within the shell and has an adhesive portion for trapping insects. The insert has a substantially planar, longitudinally extending tab. The tab of the cartridge is laterally offset from a centerline of the insert.
