An insect trap analysis system may detect an insect specimen on a trap mechanism of an insect trap. The insect trap analysis system may control, based on detecting the insect specimen on the trap mechanism, one or more mechanical devices to: adjust a position of the insect specimen relative to a position of an image capture device associated with the insect trap, or adjust the position of the image capture device relative to the position of the insect specimen. The insect trap analysis system may cause, while controlling the one or more mechanical devices to adjust the position of the image capture device or the position of the insect specimen, the image capture device to capture a plurality of images of the insect specimen from a plurality of different angles relative to the insect specimen, and may perform an action associated with the plurality of images.

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.

Method and apparatus for a pest control device mounting system configured for mounting pest control devices in a building and using them to control pests. The pest control device mounting system including a mounting bracket, which may have a circumferential portion defining a portal. In some examples, the mounting bracket includes a flange portion suitable for attaching to the perimeter of a cavity in a building surface. The pest control device mounting system including a plug configured to be removably attached to the mounting bracket and to substantially close the portal when attached to the mounting bracket, wherein the plug is configured to accommodate a pest control device.

The present application describes a pollinator species detection and monitoring device and system that utilizes specifically positioned and spaced receptacles for determining and conveying the numbers, health and movements of pollinator species ranging from real-time to intermittent transmittance of detected information for an area, region, areas or regions, singularly and in the aggregate. The detected information is collected and recorded via a pair of closely related sensors, residing at 180 degrees from one another, wherein pollinator species' entrance, exit, number, gender and activity are sensed, analyzed algorithmically and stored locally for eventual transmittance from a transmitting device to an external computer or mobile device for data observance, collection, storage and analysis. Detected information may be species specific or across a plurality of species.

Disclosed herein is an insect trapping device comprising an inner passageway structure defining an inner passageway which, when in an upright orientation, extends from an insect entry zone to an insect delivery zone, the inner passageway structure bordered by at least a pair of opposed insect-facing traction-reducing boundary surface regions to cause an insect to progress toward the insect delivery zone under gravity, with each boundary surface region including at least one of at least a pair of electrode surface regions, wherein each electrode surface region is configured for operative coupling with an electrode power supply to deliver electrical power thereto, the electrode surface regions configured to form an electrocution zone therebetween, with a designated spacing which is configured to initiate electrocution of an instance of the insect descending through the electrocution zone.

An insect trapping device includes a base with a shroud and a cartridge. The cartridge includes an adhesive portion that is positioned adjacent the shroud, when the cartridge is attached to the base. The shroud includes an electric heating element, which heats the shroud and the adhesive portion of the cartridge.

The present invention relates to a device and the use of said device for reducing insect irritation of an animal, especially to farm animals such as cattle and horses. Thereby addressing the recurrent problem of insect caused irritation to the eyes and face of an animal as well as to wounds on the surface of an animal or other moist areas offering a source of nourishment to the insects. A device according to the present invention can be directly attached to the surface of an animal in a detachable manner. The device may thus be positioned directly on the animal in a position of choice to the caretaker, thereby, local limitation of the number of insects, such as flies, may be achieved, protecting the animal from insect irritation, particularly in the vicinity of said device, independently of the environment surrounding the animal. Furthermore, it was surprisingly found, that a transparent device provided increased efficiency in catching insects, in particular flies, when attached to an animal compared to a comparable device not being transparent.
