A flying insect light trap monitoring device and related methods and systems. The flying insect light trap monitoring device includes a housing, camera, controller, and communications module. The housing includes a mounting structure configured to couple with a flying insect light trap. The camera generally includes a wide angle lens. The camera and wide angle lens are secured to the housing and take a digital photograph image of a glue board in the flying insect light trap. The controller, including a processor and a memory, is secured within the housing and is communicatively coupled to the camera. The controller receives the digital photograph image. The communications module is operatively coupled with the controller and sends data packets, including the digital photograph image, to a remote server. Further, an image processing engine that processes the image and generates an insect count can be included.

Pitfall traps, coasters, devices, apparatus, systems and methods for capturing crawling insects, such as bed bugs, and/or for preventing the insects from climbing up furniture legs to furniture such as beds, cots, chairs and any type of furniture where a person would rest or sleep. Smooth slick surfaces and/or pesticide treated surfaces can be located on underside facing horizontal or angled surfaces used with or without sticky surfaces which all can be used to prevent insect and bed bug travel and assist in helping trap the insects and bed bugs.

A discrete and safe automated insect monitoring system includes a housing, an interior chamber within the housing, and a light source arranged within the housing to illuminate at least a portion of a floor surface of the interior chamber. A multi-pixel optical sensor is arranged within the housing so that a field of view of the sensor comprehends a substantial portion of the floor surface. A processing circuit arranged within the housing receives optical data from the multi-pixel optical sensor, analyzes the optical data to detect the intrusion of an insect or other object into the interior chamber by comparing most recently received optical data to previously received optical data, and generates an indication in response to detecting the intrusion of an insect or other object. Detection and/or classification results can be wirelessly forwarded to another device, to alert appropriate personnel.

A removable substrate for an insect attractant device includes a body having front and rear faces, a grip portion, and a base disposed opposite the grip portion. The removable substrate further includes a first lateral portion extending from the base, and a second lateral portion extending from the base. A projection extends outwardly from the base, lowermost ends of the first and second lateral portions are disposed below the projection, and an adhesive is applied to the front face and the rear face.

A luring insect trap, including a light unit, a trap unit removably connected to at least a portion of the light unit to store at least one insect attractant therein and receive at least one insect therein, at least one light rod removably connected to at least a portion of the light unit to illuminate in response to being turned on, and a cover panel removably connected to at least a portion of the light unit to obscure the at least one light rod.

An insect trapping light is shown having a visible light housing, a pair of electronic display screens, and an insect trapping housing. The display screen may be a television screen, picture display screen, movie display screen, computer monitor or display, or the like. The insect trapping housing has a bottom space configured to removably receive an insect bait tray that may be filled with an insect baiting substance to attract insects. The insect trapping housing and the visible light housing combine to form a UV light space or chamber therebetween. An adhesive board is slidably received and held in place upon the visible light housing surface facing the UV light chamber. The spacing between the insect trapping housing and the visible light housing defines the UV light chamber having open sides The UV light chamber also includes a matrix or array of UV lights or light sources.
