A system to verify product authenticity includes a transceiver configured to receive information regarding one or more pieces of ferromagnetic material that are in or on a product. The system also includes an electromagnetic radiation source configured to emit radiation to heat the one or more pieces of ferromagnetic material in or on the product. The system also includes a heat sensor configured to detect heat emitted from the one or more pieces of ferromagnetic material that are in or on the product. The system further includes a processor in communication with the transceiver, the electromagnetic radiation source, and the heat sensor. The processor is configured to determine if the product is counterfeit based on the received information and the detected heat.

An arthropod trap with an aerosol dispenser that is remotely controllable to dispense spray doses of an active ingredient such as a pheromone or other semiochemical. Images are captured of trapping media within the trap and are wirelessly communicated to a remote server or application. The dispenser is preferably upside down with the nozzle near the lower extremity of the inverted dispenser. An actuation mechanism controls the spray dose according to a schedule or according to individual sprays commands, each of which may be received wirelessly by the trap. Images of the trapping media may be used as feedback for verifying or modifying the metered dosing schedule.

An arthropod trap with an aerosol dispenser that is remotely controllable to dispense spray doses of an active ingredient such as a pheromone or other semiochemical. Images are captured of trapping media within the trap and are wirelessly communicated to a remote server or application. The dispenser is preferably upside down with the nozzle near the lower extremity of the inverted dispenser. An actuation mechanism controls the spray dose according to a schedule or according to individual sprays commands, each of which may be received wirelessly by the trap. Images of the trapping media may be used as feedback for verifying or modifying the metered dosing schedule.

An adhesive-type insect trap includes a main body having an adhesive sheet insertion hole; a light source mounting unit disposed on the main body; a cover which is detachably mounted on the main body and has a through-hole in at least a part thereof; an adhesive sheet including a sticky substance and a sheet. The main body includes a guide unit by which the adhesive sheet is guided, and an adhesive sheet support unit for supporting the adhesive sheet.

A system, method, and kit for monitoring, capturing, or killing crawling insects, including the population of a colony of insects, is provided. A station is provided including a lower member that may be flat, curved or of varying contour, a curved or angled upper member connected directly or by one or more intermediate members to the lower member, and an adhesive on one of the lower member or the upper member. A secondary element can include a repellant or non-repellant pesticide, an adhesive, and/or an attractant to aid in killing the crawling insects. As the insects interact with the station and secondary element, they can take a portion of the pesticide back to the colony to kill more insects.

To provide a novel, small and thin insect attractor that effectively attracts insects regardless of installation location. An insect attractor having a rear panel, a front panel, and a light emitting unit is provided. The rear panel is attached to an installation surface of a site. The front panel is disposed to face the rear panel. The light emitting unit is disposed between the rear panel and the front panel. The light emitting unit includes a cylindrical portion whose both ends face the rear panel and the front panel, and emits light that attracts insects from an outer surface of the cylindrical portion toward the periphery.

An adhesive-type insect trap includes a body having a hole for insertion of an adhesive sheet; a light source mounting unit disposed on the body; and a cover which is detachably mounted on the body and has a through-hole in at least a part thereof. The body further includes a light source seating unit provided so as to correspond to the light source mounting unit, and a light source may have one side thereof mounted on the light source mounting unit and the other side thereof seated on the light source seating unit.
