This device for humanely catching and releasing flying and crawling insects is a lightweight, handheld tool to capture an insect on a flat surface inside the home without getting too close to it and releasing it outside unharmed. The container is clear and transparent to easily confirm that the insect is inside. Once the insect is captured, turning the control knob on the handle rotates the cover to secure the container. There are three small spacers on the bottom of the container, which allow the cover to be closed and latched without having to move the container and without injuring the insect. The self-aligning latch mechanism ensures that once closed, the cover will not open inadvertently while transporting the captive insect. Once the insect has been carried outside, the control knob on the end of the handle is turned to open the cover and release the insect unharmed.

An insect capture device is provided. The insect capture device has a housing having a cover with a plurality of openings through which insects enter the housing. A light assembly is mounted to the housing and adapted to attract the insects. A bait container is mounted on the housing to hold insect bait. A fan is disposed within the housing oriented to pull insects through the cover and into the housing. A removable tray cooperates with the housing. The tray configured to hold an adhesive pad for capturing insects that entered the housing.

A device that provides personal comfort to the user while simultaneously providing insect control, both functionalities facilitated by a fan component that creates airflow through the device, such airflow drawing insects into the inlet end of the device for insect control and blowing air out of the outlet end of the device for personal comfort of the user, while a trapping component inside the device prevents the insects from exiting with the outlet air and a killing component inside the device kills the insects for insect control purposes.

A mobile culture assembly for feeding larvae of black soldier fly includes a mobile vehicle, a breeding device disposed in the mobile vehicle, and a turning device disposed on the breeding device. The breeding device includes spaced-apart breeding bodies, each of which defines a breeding space for accommodating feed materials and larvae. The turning device includes a base movably disposed on the breeding body, a feeding unit adapted to introduce the feed materials to the breeding space, a turning unit disposed under the base, a scrapping unit disposed at one end of the base, and a heat dissipating unit disposed on the base. The turning device serves to stir the feed materials and the larvae and also dissipate heat accumulated in the breeding space to thereby provide a preferable growing environment for the larvae, reduce feeding costs, and increase a reproductive rate and quality of the larvae effectively.

Devices and methods for pest control, including devices useful to place pest control devices at locations of use such as at a crop (e.g., at a branch of a tree), certain embodiments of devices including a capsule and a tether that can become tangled or caught in a tree or other crop location.

An insect trap (10) and a method for attracting and/or trapping insects (12) are disclosed. The trap (10) has an intake (14) leading into an interior space (20) of the insect trap (10), which intake (14) continues into a suction duct (16) where an air flow (18) provides a negative pressure at the intake (14). Furthermore, the trap (10) has a portion surrounding the suction duct (16) in the vicinity of the intake (14) and enveloping the suction duct (16) such that the suction duct extends into the interior space (20) of the trap (10). The portion is at least partially permeable to outflowing air (24) and forms at least part of an outer wall (22). In addition, a front side (28), adjoining the outer wall (22), is largely impermeable to air and is at least slightly spaced from an outlet (30) of the suction duct (16).

A flying insect trap formed of an ingress chamber having a light source to attract flying insects and a fan to create an air stream to direct insects into a capture chamber. The trap has an upper illumination chamber to project light upward in order to enhance the trap's attractiveness to flying insects. The upper illumination chamber is formed of a plate containing light emitting devices that face upward and project light through a translucent cover.

An attracting element (14) attachable to a flying pest trap (10), the attracting element (14) comprising: a plurality of LEDs (42) arranged on a support section (41), wherein the support section (41) is configured to be detachably secured to a receiving section of the flying pest trap (10), the receiving section having higher thermal conductivity than the support section (41), so as to transfer heat generated by the LEDs (42) to the receiving section.

The invention relates to a live trap for catching living insects, particularly fruit flies, comprising a catch container, a base and a funnel-shaped insert in the catch container having a plurality of slits in the funnel wall and a funnel exit opening, the insects to be caught being able to slip through the funnel exit opening, but not through the slits. Furthermore, the live trap comprises an attractant container in the catch container and/or in the base having a liquid attractant and a wick. The insects are attracted by the scent of the liquid attractant evaporating from the attractant container and fly or crawl through the funnel exit opening into the catch container, where they become trapped. The user can then carry the live trap outside, remove the funnel-shaped insert, and release the captured insects alive outside. In this way, the insects can be kept out of human living and working spaces without killing the insects.

The invention refers to an insect trap consisting of a housing (1) in which there is a power supply system (2) and an electrical circuit board (3). The insect trap has a multi-layer mesh (4), in which an electric field of e.g. 2500 V is developed, thereby killing the insects. It may also have a lamp (7) to attract insects and a tray (8) at the bottom of the trap to collect the killed insects. The use of a screen (6) under the trap covers the remaining space of the aperture, allowing tenants to pass through.
