An insect capturing assembly includes an ornament that is substantially hollow and a gripping element that is integrated into the ornament. A tube is slidably integrated into the ornament and the gripping element releasably engages the tube. The ornament is positionable in a stored position has the tube contained within the ornament and the ornament is positionable in a deployed position having the tube extending outwardly from the ornament. An adhesive layer is wrapped around the tube to capture flying insects that land on the adhesive layer. A base is coupled to the tube and the base is positionable on a horizontal support surface. A plurality of light emitters is each coupled to the base such that each of the light emitters emits light when the light emitters are turned on.

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.

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.

A monitoring trap and classification system may help pest control professionals, landlords, and homeowners identify, monitor, and manage insects. The trap may have an adhesive area that traps an insect, as well as several features that assist in identifying the insect. A classification system may use a picture or image of the trap to extract the trap's identifier, orient and adjust the image to standardize the image's color and scale, and have the insect identified. The trap and classification system may be used by individual homeowners, tenants, landlords, farmers, and pest professionals to capture, identify, and manage insects. The classification system may reduce the complexity of counting and classifying trapped insects, and it may generate a history through a series of reminders and keeping a database of previous observations.

An insect trap device and methods of using the device are described herein. In some embodiments, an insect trap includes a light source, a removable enclosure with at least one opening, an adhesive surface at least partially within the enclosure, and optics to redirect light from the light source onto an adhesive trapping surface. The light source may include at least one light emitting diode (LED). The optics may be attached to the removable enclosure, and may be located at least partially within the enclosure. The optics may include optical enhancers such as a reflector, a lens and/or a diffuser. The insect trap may further include an insect attractant that emits sound or scent.

The present disclosure describes a trap for catching or killing insects, and a method of attracting flying insects to an insect trap. The trap includes a back housing, an insect capture or killing mechanism, an insect attracting light source including light emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit ultra violet radiation, and a cover with openings that allow insects to enter the trap. The light source is directed immediately inwardly through plus or minor 45 degrees towards the insect capture or killing mechanism and is precluded from being directed immediately outwardly through the cover.

The present disclosure provides an intelligent replacement device and method for a trap board in a tea garden based on image channel computation. The device includes a trap board supply module, a trap board sticker removal module and a machine vision control module fixed on a machine frame, where the machine vision control module is configured to acquire an image of a present trap board in the trap board supply module, determine whether the present trap board fails according to the image, control, in response to failure of the present trap board, the trap board supply module to replace the trap board, and control the trap board sticker removal module to remove a film of a replaced trap board. The present disclosure can replace the trap board in the tea garden automatically, timely and accurately instead of the manual operation.
