An arthropod lure or repellent (10), an arthropod trap (60) and a lighting device (140) are provided. The arthropod lure or repellent (10) includes a substrate (12), a fluorescent material (14) attached to the substrate (12), and an ultraviolet light source (16) arranged to illuminate the fluorescent material (14) with light of a first wavelength (18). The fluorescent material (14) is arranged to absorb the light of the first wavelength (18) and re-emit the light at a second wavelength (20), the second wavelength being longer than the first wavelength.

A solar powered lighting element with a simulated flame and an electric insect eliminator includes a lighting portion with a conducting grid and a light portion that simulates a flickering flame which are powered by a rechargeable battery that is recharged using a solar panel. One or more UV light elements are provided in addition to the flickering flame to attract insects.

The present invention relates to an ovitrap (10) and novel method of controlling mosquito populations comprising the use of light (20) to create a photo stimulus, causing mosquito larvae (102) to move from a location (Va), where gravid mosquitoes have deposited their eggs, in a direction away from the light, to a location (Vb). where they are trapped and killed. The ovitrap utilises this behaviour to more effectively capture and kill larvae. The ovitrap comprises a container (12), a cover (14), and a means (16) for dividing the container (12) into two regions (101; 102), which in use are filled with water, and which communicate via an opening (26) such that a volume (Vb) below the means (16) defines a larvae (102) trapping region, and a volume (Va) above the means (16) defines an egg (101) receiving region. A light source (20) is mounted above the container (12) and is positioned to direct light downwards at a water surface (92), such that when the light is turned on, it creates a photo stimulus, and the larvae (102) respond by moving in a direction away from the light, from the volume above (Va) into the volume below (Vb) via opening (26). A gating mechanism (18) opens and closes the opening (26) when the light is respectively turned on and off, such that the larvae are trapped in the volume below

This disclosure relates to subnormothermic machine perfusion formulations for ex vivo preservation of allografts, and methods of use thereof.

The present utility model discloses a lighting mosquito killer lamp, which comprises a main body and a base that is joined with the main body. The main body comprises a housing, a lampshade arranged in the housing, and a high-voltage mesh wire arranged on the lampshade. The base is used for receiving power. The lighting mosquito killer lamp further comprises a lighting lamp and an ultraviolet lamp. The lighting lamp is different from the ultraviolet lamp, and the lighting lamp and the ultraviolet lamp are controlled independently of each other.
