An adhesive-type insect trap includes a body having a hole for insertion of an adhesive sheet; a light source mounting unit disposed on the body; and a cover which is detachably mounted on the body and has a through-hole in at least a part thereof, and an adhesive sheet including a sticky substance and a sheet. The body includes a guide unit by which the adhesive sheet is guided, and the cover comprises a light refraction unit therein or on a surface thereof.

An insect trap is provided with a bottle for holding insects and a conically-shaped insert for insertion into the bottle The insert includes holes for permitting light and visibility. The trap and/or trap insert may be made from a plastic or a polymer. Further, insect attracting scents may be injected or impregnated into the plastic or polymer. A chemical exhibiting phosphorescence or photoluminescence may also be combined with the plastic and/or polymer.

In an embodiment, as insect trap is disclosed including: a trap portion including an enclosure having an adhesive surface and a first opening, wherein the adhesive surface is at least partially contained within the enclosure and is configured to adhere to an insect; and a base portion including a lighting element and a mounting portion, wherein the lighting element is configured to provide light to the trap portion, and wherein the mounting portion is configured to communicate with and receive power from a power source; and a first heating element in communication with the power source, wherein the trap portion is configured to removably engage with the base portion and receive light from the base portion when engaged therewith, and wherein the first heating element provides heat to at least a portion of the trap when the trap is engaged.

An insect trap device and methods of using the device are described herein. In some embodiments, an insect trap includes a light source, a removable enclosure with at least one opening, an adhesive surface at least partially within the enclosure, and optics to redirect light from the light source onto an adhesive trapping surface. The light source may include at least one light emitting diode (LED). The optics may be attached to the removable enclosure, and may be located at least partially within the enclosure. The optics may include optical enhancers such as a reflector, a lens and/or a diffuser. The insect trap may further include an insect attractant that emits sound or scent.

An improved fly trap in the form of a sign that can attract and trap flies before they enter an establishment or once the flies are inside of an establishment. The fly trap uses an attractive element in the form of a plurality of LED lights, preferably blue LED lights, to coax flies to enter the sign. Adjacent the LED lights is a roller on which adhesive paper, or fly paper, is mounted. Flies that land on the fly paper are captured, and when the paper is full or need to be changed, the roller is actuated to present fresh fly paper.

The present invention relates to a flying insect trap (1) having a cuboid shape comprising at least two intersecting interior walls (2b) forming a line of intersection (5), each interior wall being disposed between two opposite edges (3) and forming at least one acute angle with an exterior wall (2a).

Techniques for analyzing images of pests using a mobile device application are described. A mobile computing device may receive, via a graphical user interface (GUI), location information input corresponding to a location of a glueboard, an identification input of a pest type caught on the glueboard, and an image of the glueboard. The device may analyze white and dark areas of the image to determine at least one of: 1) total dark surface area of the glueboard and 2) number and size of multiple contiguous dark surface areas of the glueboard. The device may calculate a quantity of pests based on dark surface area and an average size of the pest. The device may output the quantity of pests to the GUI.

A carpenter bee trap includes a plurality of walls surrounding a trap cavity, at least one entrance opening formed through at least one of the plurality of walls, a bottom wall coupled to a bottom of the plurality of walls, an exit opening formed through one of the walls or the bottom wall, a container disposed within the trap cavity and extending through the exit opening and into the external environment, and a funnel disposed within the cavity to direct carpenter bees into the container.

A device for monitoring and catching insects from the culicidae population, including a first container with first elements for attracting the insects; a second container, positioned inside the first container, and resting on it by a plurality of tie rods, an open upper base and a lower base, the second container provided with a second plurality of elements for attracting insects; a device for generating air flow, which is positioned at the lower base of the second container to suck in insects close to the device, from the outside towards the inside of the second container through the open upper base; and a perforated bag, positioned at the open upper base, which extends to the device for generating air flow, for monitoring and catching insects sucked inside.

A digitally controlled, wearable or stationary chemical dispersal device using a pump and activity-based or environmental-based feedback monitoring is described. The system contains a liquid chemical reservoir which can be replaced or refilled for multi-use operation. Electronic controls are used to drive the pump's liquid or air flow rate periodically with user control features and/or monitored, embedded digital sensors. Feedback from the sensors monitoring either the activity of a wearer of the device or the local environment can be used to adjust the pump's flow rate automatically. In addition, user selectable operation mode via Bluetooth is also described.
