A mite-capturing sheet (1) includes an adhesive sheet (3) that captures mites and a resin sheet (4) placed on the adhesive sheet (3) and containing an attractant. The resin sheet (4) has a plurality of resin sheet openings (5) that expose the adhesive sheet (3).

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an insect trap for trapping insects, the insect trap comprising one or more serviceable parts, the insect trap being movable between a first configuration for trapping insects, and a second configuration for servicing of the one or more serviceable parts. The insect trap is arranged so that the position of the one or more serviceable parts in the first configuration differs from the position of the one or more serviceable parts in the second configuration.

A stackable creature control member, a stacked assembly of creature control members and mounting assemblies for mounting in an operating position the stackable creature control member and/or the stacked assembly of creature control members. The stackable creature control member has a creature control substance applied over a planar or a non-planar surface. i.e., a surface having a plurality of points each of which has a different z-axis coordinate. The stackable feature of the creature control members allows the creature control members to be stacked for packing, shipping and/or use. The stackable assembly allows an individual to readily separate one creature control member from a directly adjacent creature control member without any liner or other separating member being present between adjacent creature control members. Preferably, the stacked assembly of creature control members in the stacked state is located in an operating position by a mounting assembly and individual creature control members are readily and easily removable from the stacked assembly as needed. Preferably, the creature control substance applied to a portion of the creature control members is either a creature trapping substance for trapping creatures on the creature control member or a repellent for repelling birds from the creature control member and/or the surrounding area.

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 includes a light to attract insects to a sticky or adhesive material and a power source to allow use in a variety of locations.

A system may include a trap and a consumable. The trap may include a data capture mechanism configured to capture data and send the data to a system operator. The consumable may include a device having an associated electronic identification code. A status-determining mechanism may be configured to determine a status of the consumable, which status may be readable via the data capture mechanism. The consumable may include a sensor configured to detect flying insects via mutual capacitance sensing. The sensor may be configured to provide a directional fringe field responsive to a flying insect. The sensor may include a plurality of sensor triplets arranged in a grid array. Each sensor triplet may include a sensor conductor and two electrically conductive un-grounded conductors. The two un-grounded conductors may be disposed one on either side of the sensor conductor to form the sensor triplet.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an insect light trap for trapping insects, comprising a housing, a lamp for attracting insects mounted in the housing, a first space for receiving a first insect trap, and a second space contained in the housing. The second space has received therein a module comprising a second insect trap comprising an advancable adhesive surface for trapping the insects, and a motor to advance the adhesive surface.

An insect light trap comprising a housing, the housing having an aperture, and a light source inside the housing for emitting insect attracting light through the aperture, wherein the housing has a movable panel movable between at least a position and a second position in which it obstructs, or guides, the light from the light source passing through the aperture differently from in the first position. The insect light trap further comprises an actuator mounted to move the movable panel between the said positions in response to a control signal a first light level sensor connected to provide a light level signal indicating a light level received by sensor from the surroundings of the insect light trap a control circuit connected to receive the first light level signal and responsive thereto to provide the control signal to the actuator to move the panel.

An insect decoy is provided that includes a vapor-isolated vessel, a chemical compound disposed within the vapor-isolated vessel, and an excitation energy source. The chemical compound may have one or more absorption bands at a set of absorption wavelengths and have one or more emission bands at a set of emission wavelengths. The excitation energy source may be configured to produce electromagnetic radiation at the absorption wavelengths so as to fluoresce the chemical compound and release photons at the emission wavelengths. The vapor-isolated vessel may be configured with at least one infrared transmissive window that is substantially transparent to the released photons at the emission wavelengths of the chemical compound.

A wall outlet connectable insect trap for drawing in insects and trapping them within the trap is provided. The insect trap provides an aesthetically pleasing faceplate having a curved back with vented openings hidden from view such that insects may fly into the trap on a back end whereby sticky paper retaining the flies is also hidden from view.
