A roll for assembling a device (2) for detection and elimination of pest insects includes a wound up, continuous band of fibrous material, the band having a main portion (22) and a first flap folded thereover, wherein at least one aperture (35) is arranged in the main portion along at least part of the length of the continuous band, the face facing away from the first flap such that the adhesive strip completely covers over the at least one aperture, the aperture being at least partially filled with an insecticide in powder form. The roll may include a second flap, wherein the first flap and the second flap at least partially overlap and the second flap is sandwiched between the main portion and the first flap.

A device for detecting and marking differences between two substrates, such as images or written text. The device has an image capturing device that is in communication with image recognition software. Images of a secondary images are analyzed and compared to a primary image to detect differences between the two. Once a difference is detected, the device automatically disperses a marking material in the proximity of the detected difference.

An insect control lighting device having a connector capable of electrically connecting to a common lightbulb socket or electrical outlet. The lighting device includes one or more light sources in electrical connection with the connector. The lighting device further includes an inner module having one or more insect control materials, such an insect attractant and an adhesive. The inner module may be secured within the lighting device by a magnet or by screw threads at one or both ends of the inner module.

An insect adhesive apparatus capable of automatically renewing an insect adhesive area and a control method thereof. The insect adhesive apparatus includes a roll rack, at least one motor, a camera module and a central control module. The roll rack is configured to equip a roll and unroll the roll to provide a long strip-shaped insect adhesive area. The motor scrolls out the roll on the roll rack according to a first control signal so as to renew the long strip-shaped insect adhesive area. The camera module acquires image information of the insect adhesive area. The central control module analyzes the image information to provide an area occupancy rate of attachments and determine whether the area occupancy rate of attachments is larger than a threshold value. If the area occupancy rate of attachments is larger than the threshold value, the first control signal is output to the motor.

A trap for catching insects may include a back housing, a plurality of lights and a cover. The trap may be adapted for ease of servicing and jet cleaning via a plurality of shields. Each of the plurality of shields may sealably protect, from water ingress, the plurality of lights at a position where the plurality of lights connect to a plurality of electrical fittings.

Systems, devices, and methods for providing a calendar configuration for a multi-sheet fly trap, with each sheet having a sticky exposed surface of a plastic or paper sheet, which is exposed when the covering sheet is removed, each sheet includes patterns of spaced apart black lines over a different colored surface. The black lines sized to emulate cracks or surface edges to attract the flies thereon. And the sticky sheets can be left up for a period of time from a day to a month, and then be ripped off and discarded.

A bug capture and disposal device includes a shaft having a working end opposite a handle end. A head plate is affixed to the working end and a pair of flaps are pivotally affixed along opposing sides of the head plate. The pair of flaps are selectively movable between an open position and a closed position. A rod is disposed within an interior of the shaft and is operably connected to a control disposed on the handle end and each flap of the pair of flaps. Upon actuation of the control, the rod moves the pair of flaps towards the closed position. A retraction control is slidably disposed on the shaft, wherein the retraction control is operably connected to the rod, whereupon actuation of the retraction control, the pair of flaps towards the open position. An adhesive pad is removably secured to an underside of the pair of flaps.

Systems and methods can be provided to monitor insects (e.g., mosquitoes) in the field and gather data to ground truth one or more sensors or machine learning classification algorithms for classifying insects. A trap with various sensor capabilities can capture various insects and data pertaining to the captured insects. Some embodiments may enable offline identification of information by an entomologist or other individuals and use the identification information to ground-truth the one or more sensors. Using the trap with the various sensor capabilities increases the availability and diversity of training data for machine learning classification algorithms on the primary sensor.
