A fly trap configured to contact a window surface includes a frame and a cover. The frame includes a top surface and a bottom surface. A portion of the bottom surface is configured to contact the window surface, and the frame defines an interior and an ingress for permitting flies to enter the interior from a side of the frame. The cover includes an adhesive fly capture surface configured to face the window surface and attach the cover to the top surface of the frame. The cover enclosing the interior at the top surface of the frame.

A pest control barrier is provided. The pest control barrier comprises a continuous barrier track disposed about an entirety of a predefined perimeter. The predefined perimeter may define an interior space and be disposed along an entirety of an outer boundary of the interior space. The continuous barrier track may comprise a topical catch layer. The topical catch layer contains a quantity of pressure sensitive adhesive material dispersed throughout the topical catch layer sufficient to restrain a pest from free movement away from the topical catch layer, such that the continuous barrier track forms a continuous catch loop about the predefined perimeter that bars entry into or exit from the interior space by a pest such as, but not limited to, rodents, snakes, insects, arachnids, pedes, scorpions, and/or other pests. In this way, an object disposed within the interior space defined by the predefined perimeter may also remain pest free.

An insect trap and a method of using the same. The insect trap includes a housing. The insect trap also includes a glue board receiving space located inside the housing. The insect trap further includes one or more light sources for attracting insects into the housing. The insect trap also includes a camera having a lens. The lens has a front element. The camera is positioned to capture images of a glue board when the glue board is received in the glue board receiving space. There is no line of sight between the or each light source and the front element of the lens. This may prevent light from the or each light source reaching the front element directly. The method can include using an image captured by the camera to determine that a glue board received in the glue board receiving space needs to be replaced.

A glue board trap for insects and spiders is provided that includes a reusable housing, a replaceable glue board, and a reusable lure compartment that is mounted to the housing. The lure compartment contains a water-based lure solution for attracting crawling pests that can be replaced as needed.
