09848591 · 2017-12-26 ·

The invention is directed at to a pest entrapment device for attracting and trapping flying pests around the head of a person. The apparatus includes an attachable device having at least one member, which member contains at least one cavity to hold a pest attractant. The attachable device is affixed to a head covering on the underside of a bill, brim, visor or the like. The pest attractant can be of a combination of grease, carbon dioxide, sweetener, and a sticky, viscid matter. The pest attractant also acts as a trapping substance to capture the flying insects. The pest entrapment device can be removed for cleaning and reapplication of the pest attractant.

An inflatable flying insect trap that serves also serves as a light source. The insect trap is formed of an inflatable globe that, once inflated, forms a curved wall upon which a glue trap may be mounted. One or more LEDs positioned within the cavity of the globe emits light that passes through the globe and through the attached glue trap. Insects attracted to the light will become adhered to the external surface of the glue trap.

A PEST MONITORING DEVICE

A pest monitoring device is disclosed. The pest monitoring device includes a housing; an optical sensor configured to generate optical data related to an interior surface within the housing; and a processor in communication with the optical sensor. The processor is configured to receive optical data from the optical sensor; select optical data relating to at least one segment of the interior surface, the optical data relating to the at least one segment being arranged as a plurality of pixels. The processor is further configured to evaluate if the optical data corresponding to the least one segment meets a pre-determined condition associated with the interior surface by: counting the number of pixels of the plurality of pixels which indicate a light intensity below a pre-determined intensity value; and determining if the number of pixels having a light intensity below the pre-determined intensity limit is greater than or equal to a pre-determined pixel threshold value. The processor is further configured to determine, based on whether the optical data corresponding to the at least one segment meets the pre-determined condition associated with the interior surface, if there is an indication of a pest on the interior surface. A method of monitoring a pest trap is also disclosed.

DOMESTIC INSECT TRAP

The present invention consists of a collapsible trap for insects, particularly male and female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the trap preferably being made of card and designed for use in a domestic or commercial environment. Specifically, the present invention discloses a foldable trap for insects, particularly male and female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the trap being formed by a hollow, prismatic main body which comprises an upper cover and a lower cover. The hollow, prismatic main body also comprises a translucent window in one of the sides, the internal surface of which translucent window is impregnated with an adhesive for insects. An attractive mosquito bait is located inside the hollow main body. The mosquitoes, attracted by the bait, enter the trap through at least one curved interior conduit which is located inside the hollow main body and has an entrance in the upper cover and an exit inside the trap.

20220346363 · 2022-11-03 ·

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.
