A removable substrate for an insect attractant device includes a body having front and rear faces. The body includes a grip portion and a lower portion disposed below the grip portion. The lower portion includes a retention aperture, a first lateral portion having a first lateral edge, and a second lateral portion having a second lateral edge, with a gap extending between the first lateral portion and the second lateral portion. The first lateral edge and the second lateral edge comprise outer edges of the body. An adhesive is applied to the front face, the adhesive being positioned between the grip portion and the lower portion.

An insect trap formed from a sheet that defines an adhesive surface, the sheet including on two opposite ends engaging means in order to engage said opposite ends together. The adhesive surface is curved when the opposite ends are engaged together, thus allowing the insect trap to be used in any location, including inside a cupboard or on a table.

A mold remediation system includes a processor and an electromagnetic radiation source in communication with the processor. The electromagnetic radiation source is configured to emit radiation to heat a ferromagnetic material in or adjacent to a wall board upon which mold is located. The system also includes a temperature sensor in communication with the processor. The temperature sensor is configured to detect a temperature of the wall board. The processor is configured to compare the temperature of the wall board to a desired temperature to perform mold remediation.

Insect capture is improved by providing a glue board having an adhesive coating on its front surface and forming a pattern of insect attractant. UV light on that front surface. That pattern includes areas of bright UV light generated by light-emitting diodes behind and visible through the glue board by flying insect, dimmer areas of UV light that bounces off other portions of the device onto the glue board, and areas of shadow on the glue board where no or little UV light is present.

A device for detecting an offending object such as weeds or insects, and addressing the offending object by removing or marking the same. The device has image acquisition and image recognition systems that captures images of plants and automatically responds by way of an action when a weed or insect is identified. The action head may grip the offending object or release a substance such a herbicide to eliminate a weed.

A trapping device and method for capturing and monitoring the existence and behavior of crawling insects, such as bed bugs, is provided. The trapping device has a textured two-dimensional surface with one or more triangular entrance areas, where one of the triangular sections functions as a base, one or more wing sections, connected to either one the base or to another wing section by a neck; and a collecting area connected to one or more wing sections by a bridge. The trapping device can further include a support structure, and can be enclosed in a case with one or more entrances. The trapping device can also comprise a catching area that can optionally include an adhesive for immobilizing the insects.
