A trap for catching insects may include a back housing, a plurality of lights and a cover. The trap may be adapted for ease of servicing and jet cleaning via a plurality of shields. Each of the plurality of shields may sealably protect, from water ingress, the plurality of lights at a position where the plurality of lights connect to a plurality of electrical fittings.

A system, and method for trapping biting or blood-seeking flying insects, including a host-seeking stage module configured to trap target insects in a host-seeking stage thereof, and comprising a lure including an olfactory cue configured to attract the target-insects in the host-seeking stage, and a first suction mechanism configured with suction to suck the target insects in the host-seeking stage near the lure into a first container; and a ovipository stage module configured to trap target insects in an ovipository stage thereof, and comprising a water reservoir configured to attract gravid females seeking to deposit eggs thereon, and a second suction mechanism configured with suction to suck the gravid females from the water reservoir into a second container.

An autonomous drone integrated with wide bandwidth, high energy acoustic wave generators sent to evict and eradicate agricultural pests within a patrolling area. The drone hovering close to a plant bombards its leaves and fruits with high energy acoustic waves via frequency and tone determined by an onboard synthesizer through acoustic power amplified to drive the sideways and bottom mounted acoustic wave generators. Agricultural pests such as caterpillar, beetle and the like are bombarded with powerful acoustic waves causing their bodies to vigorously vibrate and resonate with synthesizer frequency to dislodge or kill the pests. Other insects such as moths are forced airborne by a propeller's strong downdraft and are electrocuted by integrated high voltage screens. Inside a hotel room, the drone hovers close to a surface of a bedding mattress, bombarding the surfaces with powerful acoustic waves tuned to frequencies that cause bed bugs to resonate and die.

Provided is a blowing device that can provide improved convenience. In a blowing device 1 provided with a casing 2 that has openings as an air inflow port 20 and an air blow-off port 5 formed therethrough and includes a blower 10 therein, a cover member 3 that is demountably mounted to the casing 2 so as to cover the inflow port 20 and has a plurality of openings each formed therethrough as an air suction port 4, and an insect catching portion 50 that is arranged on an inner surface of the cover member 3 and catches insects, the insect catching portion 50 is formed by stacking, via a release agent, a plurality of insect catching sheets 51 each formed of a base material sheet 52 with an adhesive 53 applied on one surface thereof.

Object detection systems are provided herein. An example system includes an enclosure formed by a sidewall to define an interaction volume, at least one light source for illuminating the interaction volume with a light, at least one light sensor that senses disturbances in light intensity due to scattering, reflection, or absorption of the light by objects within the interaction volume, and a controller that is configured to detect an object or object behavior within interaction volume based on the disturbances in the light intensity.

Provided is an air blowing device that makes it possible to safely improve insect trapping performance. The air blowing device 1 is provided with: a housing 2 comprising an inlet 20 and an outlet 5 for air; an air blower 10 arranged within the housing 2; a pre-filter 8 that is arranged in the inlet 20 and that collects dust within air; and a cover member 3 that comprises an air suction port 4, that is attached to the housing 2, and that forms an insect trap space 25 between the suction port 4 and the inlet 20. Insects that enter the insect trap space 25 via the suction port 4 are trapped. The outer surface of the cover member 3 is formed so as to have a dark color.
