An insect catching tool has a handle, a tool head, and at least one adhesive layer affixed to an adhesive support insert. The handle is rotatably connected to a proximal end of the tool head, and an insert receptacle traverses into a distal end of the tool head. The adhesive support insert is removably and slidably positioned within the insert receptacle, from within which the at least one adhesive layer is exposed, enabling the user to press the at least one adhesive layer onto a surface with a spider or insect present, capturing the creature. The at least one adhesive layer may include a plurality of adhesive sheets stacked atop each other, which can be easily peeled off and disposed of.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a tick remover device. The device may be configured to remove ticks from the skin or hair of humans. The device may be disposable. The device may include fabric or cloth, which may be coated and/or infused with an adhesive material, such as one or more resin materials. The adhesive material may have an adhesive strength sufficient to adhere any ticks present on the skin, but an adhesive strength low enough to allow passing the device over an area of skin without discomfort for the user/subject. Some aspects relate to methods of tick removal, including use of an adhesive cloth material rubbed over an area of skin to adhere and remove any ticks, including nymph ticks.

An adhesive film for attracting and capturing flying insects and method of use are disclosed. The adhesive film includes an adhesive material, an olfactory attractant, a visual attractant and a tackifier. The method of use includes a barrier style trap or a log roll comprised of an adhesive film for attracting and capturing flying insects wound onto a central cylindrical core. The adhesive film may be unwound and attached to a second mounting apparatus. The log roll may be comprised of a continuous sheet of perforated adhesive film which comprises individual sheets wound, which may be removed from the log roll when the adhesiveness of the outer sheet is exhausted, exposing a fresh sheet.

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 present disclosure relates to the sensor based observation of arthropods in a region where plants grow. The subject matter of the present disclosure is a device, system, method and computer program product for the sensor based observation of arthropods, by means of a camera.

A window mounted fly trap includes a frame comprising a top surface, a bottom surface disposed on a side of the frame opposite the top surface, and a mount extending from the bottom surface away from the frame. The frame defines an interior and the mount is constructed to detachably mount to a window surface. The trap also includes a cover attached to the top surface of the frame enclosing the interior at the top surface of the frame, the cover comprising an adhesive fly capture surface configured to face the window surface, the frame, cover, and window surface defining therein a fly capture chamber. The trap further includes at least one ingress in the frame for permitting flies to enter the fly capture chamber.

A device for capturing insects can include a handle and a head fastened to one end of the handle. The head can include a holder intended to contain a pack of adhesive sheets suitable for holding an insect and a frame that matches the holder and has at least one rim intended to cover part of the pack of adhesive sheets. The rim can be configured so as to constitute a predetermined tear-away zone on the pack of adhesive sheets, so that each adhesive sheet from the pack of adhesive sheets can be peeled apart from each other without multiple sheets being removed together. The frame can define a cavity adjacent to one adhesive face of the pack of adhesive sheets so that insects present in the cavity adhere to the adhesive sheet.
