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.

The disclosure provides a container for trapping insects. The container includes a base defining a cavity configured to receive a lure pod, and a lid removably coupled to the base. The base includes at least one base shoulder for supporting a lure pod within the cavity. The lid includes a nozzle including a tube defining a passageway for insects to enter into the cavity. The lid and the base are moveable between an open configuration configured to receive a lure pod and a closed configuration configured to secure the lure pod within the cavity.

In order to appropriately address concerns of mosquitoes which carry disease, this device has been created to initially classify the mosquito to formulate appropriate extermination strategies. Classification of mosquitoes is typically done through the wing beat frequency by either noise or light interruption. It is important to be aware that not all mosquitoes are harmful and any data that may be collected concerning the harmful mosquito should be as accurate as possible to avoid altering the food supply in any particular area.

Fly traps that do not require toxic chemicals and that can un-intrusively be present in public areas. An example trap includes a housing to contain a solution and including opening(s) for ingress of flies, a conduit or nozzle, a pump to cause solution to flow via the conduit/nozzle and along the inner surface of the housing to capture flies, and a timer to activate the pump. Another example trap includes a gathering vessel, conduit coupled to the vessel and to be submerged in a fluid trap, a vacuum to remove air from the fluid trap, and a timing device to activate the vacuum. Another example trap includes an outer wall to contain a solution, an inner wall extending into the solution, an air pump and conduit(s) to form bubbles in the solution that rise in a space between the outer and inner walls and cascade down the inner wall.

A bottletop plug device for trapping flying insects. The bottletop plug device is a reversibly attachable accessory that converts a consumer-supplied narrow-neck bottle into a trap for flying insects. The plug device has a generally tapered body that includes a lower body segment and bottom tip insertable into a baited bottle, a middle body segment having a stack of resilient protruding circumferential ribs sealable against an inside wall of a bottle neck, and an upper body segment having a wide mouth entrance to an internal passageway or chamber that runs down the length of the body and through the bottom tip. At the bottom of the channel, a narrow insect sized orifice allows insects to have essentially one-way ingress into the bottle. The protruding ribs are circumferentially stacked like a stack of coins, but the stack is typically tapered top to bottom from greater diameter to lesser diameter so that the plug self-seatingly fits into and plugs various bottle neck sizes while allowing the central insect passageway to remain open. Alternatively the stack may be untapered. The bottle and bait may be supplied by the user.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods of classifying flying insects. The methods utilize recording the wingbeat frequency and amplitude spectrum of flying insects and comparing them to known or created insect models to properly classify the flying insect. The error rate of the classification is reduced by utilizing multiple inputs to the classification system, which may include a precise circadian rhythm for the time of year, current environmental conditions, and flight velocity or direction.

Disclosed is a capture device for attracting and trapping mosquitoes comprising a sound emitter, a distress cancelling emitter for use in a mosquito trapping device for minimizing or eliminating distress signals given off by trapped mosquitoes from exiting the device. A system for minimizing mosquito populations and infestation in an area comprising: an apparatus for attracting disease-carrying female gravid mosquitoes that can trap the mosquitoes and capture/destroy the eggs released from such mosquitoes, a capture device that emits a sound that attracts male mosquitoes and a means for instantly killing the captured mosquitoes.

An insect trap (10) and a method for attracting and/or trapping flying insects and/or pest insects (12) are disclosed. The trap (10) has a suction opening (14) leading into an interior space (20) of the insect trap (10), which suction opening (14) continues into a suction duct (16), in which suction duct (16) an air flow (18) prevails, which air flow (18) is acting on the suction opening (14) with negative pressure or with a suction flow.

Furthermore, the trap (10) has a surface surrounding the suction duct (16) in the vicinity of the suction opening (14) and enveloping the suction duct (16) in the further region with a changing radial distance and which widens in a direction parallel to the direction of the air flow (18) passing through the suction duct (16), which surface is at least partially permeable to outflowing air (24) and forms at least part of an outer wall (22) of the insect trap (10).

In addition, a front side or bottom side (28) adjoining the outer wall (22) is provided that is largely impermeable to incoming or outgoing air and which is located opposite to the suction opening (14), and which is at least slightly spaced from an open front side (30) of the suction duct (16) extending into the interior space (20) of the trap (10).

An insect trap device for attracting mosquitoes includes a main body including an upper inlet and a lower outlet, a suction fan disposed in the main body and configured to draw air from the upper inlet to the lower outlet, an insect filter disposed upstream of the suction fan, the insect filter including a plurality of openings, an upper body disposed in a spaced relationship with the upper inlet, an ultraviolet (UV) light source disposed between the upper inlet and the upper body, an air collector disposed downstream of the suction fan, and an insect collector disposed on the lower outlet under the air collector, in which the air collector has a substantially conical shape including a central opening at a distal apex and a plurality of side openings including mesh.

An insect trap assembly for luring and trapping insects includes a tube that has an upper edge and a lower edge. The tube comprises a translucent material. An adhesive layer is positioned on an outer surface of the tube. The adhesive layer secures insects to the tube when the insects engage the adhesive layer. An illuminating member is mounted to the tube. The illuminating member illuminates the tube when the light emitter is turned on. The illuminating member is positioned in the tube.
