The present invention relates to a trap (10) for bed bugs (2) comprising an inner element (20) having an outer surface (24) delimited by a first base (22) and a first top (26), and an outer element (80) being hollow and having a second base (86) and a second top (88) delimiting an inner surface (84). The outer element is positioned around the inner element with the second top adjacent the first top and the second base adjacent the first base, whereby a tapering space (12), tapering towards the first top, is defined between the outer surface of the inner element and the inner surface of the outer element. The tapering space is accessible to bed bugs crawling on the outer surface of the inner element through a base opening defined between the outer surface of the inner element and the second base. An adhesive (6) is provided on at least part of the inner surface of the outer element for adhering to the dorsal side (4) of a bed bug crawling on the outer surface of the inner element. The invention further relates to a method of detecting and/or trapping bed bugs.

The present invention relates to a device (1) for trapping ecdysozoans, in particular insects and arachnids such as bedbugs, cockroaches, ants and spiders. In particular, the trap of the present invention comprises a sticky substance (7) on the interior surface of the roof (3) and/or of the walls (5b). The present invention also relates to methods to trap ecdysozoans.

The insect trap includes a trap portion and a base portion. The trap portion includes an enclosure with an adhesive surface, to adhere to an insect, and a first opening, where the adhesive surface is at least partially contained within the enclosure. The base portion includes a lighting element, to provide light to the trap portion, and a mounting portion, which may communicate with and receive power from a power source. The trap portion may removably engage the base portion and receive light from the base portion when engaged therewith. The base portion includes a snap protrusion and the trap portion includes a snap recess for receiving the snap protrusion, such that when the snap protrusion is received by the trap portion, the base portion and trap portion are engaged in a snap fit.

A wearable insect capture device that may be removably attached to a user, for example on a lower portion of the user's leg, to capture insects that may attempt to climb up the user.

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.
