A trap for immobilizing, killing, or containing arthropods comprises a housing having walls and at least one opening, where the walls define an interior space; and a light source comprising a directional light source mounted in the interior space. The light source is constructed to emit light at one or more wavelengths ranging from 350 to 500 nm. The light source is positioned so that a majority of the light emitted from the light source is directed at one or more surfaces in the interior space. The trap also comprises a suppression element mounted in the interior space and constructed to immobilize, kill, or contain arthropods.

One embodiment provides a system, including: a first end that screws into a light bulb socket; an internal light source; an electric insect control mechanism disposed around and proximate to the internal light source; and a visible light source disposed at an opposite end with respect to the first end. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A flying insect station includes a surface that is treated with a bait product, such as a pesticide. The surface of the station is an attractant to flying insects, such as large flies, due to contrasting colors and/or a pattern surface, which increases interaction by flies with the surface and also aids in the retention of the pesticide at the surface. The patterns can take many forms. In addition, the surface can include portions that are smooth at the molecular level and other portions that are textured in order to better hold and retain the pesticide. The station, in conjunction with the pesticide, allows a service specialist to use the product on a placement surface in more places indoors than they could by spraying during non-operational hours.

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.
