An insect trap (1) may include a first housing (10); a reservoir (40) at least partially defined by the first housing (10); a protrusion disposed within the reservoir (40) and extending inward from an interior surface of the first housing (10), the protrusion (42) configured to pierce a package disposed within the reservoir (40); an actuator (44) connected to the protrusion (42) such that when the actuator (44) is moved, the protrusion (42) moves with the actuator (44) within the reservoir (40); a second housing (60) moveably engaging the first housing (10); a trap chamber (70) partially formed by the first and second housings (10, 60); an inlet (72) into the trap chamber (70); and wherein the second housing (60) is movable between a first position where the inlet (72) is open and a second position where the inlet (72) is closed. The trap (1) may include a package (152) enclosing an attractant composition. The package (152) has a release rate of the attractant composition from about 5 g per day to about 500 g per day.

Embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to a computer-implemented method of insect monitoring by capturing at least one image of one or more insects; transmitting the at least one image to a computing device, where the computing device includes an artificial intelligence model operable to identify insects, and where the artificial intelligence model is trained on previously collected insect images via an unsupervised domain adaptation technique; and utilizing the artificial intelligence model to generate insect data related to the one or more insects from the at least one image. Additional embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to a system for insect monitoring.

A system includes an acoustic lure and a sensor package disposed within an interior volume of an insect trapping container and a computing device in communication with the acoustic lure and the sensor package configured to instruct the acoustic lure to output an acoustic tone. The computer device is further configured to receive sensor data from the sensor package, the sensor data representative of insects within the interior volume. Responsive to receiving the sensor data, the computing device is configured to instruct an imaging device to capture image data representative of the insects within the interior volume or determine insect count data based on the sensor data. The computing device is configured to then transmit output data to a remote computing system, the output data including at least one of a first portion of the image data or a second portion of the insect count data.

An extendable and adjustable insect entrapment apparatus reaches insects and pests in hard to reach areas through a multi-jointed elongated rod that hinges and pivots into various configuration to reach and entrap the insects with a pad of stacked, singular sticky sheets. The rod has a proximal end with a formed hole for hanging the apparatus from a distal end. At least one joint in the rod is fixedly set at a desired angle and orientation. The sticky sheets retain any insects which travel or fall into a base at the distal end of the rod. Each sheet is coated with a mild compression adhesive material that entraps an insect in response to an application of force against the insect. Each sticky sheet can be separated individually. Upon entrapment of an insect, the outermost sticky sheet restraining the insect is separated, folded to encase the insect, and disposed of.

The present invention relates to an adhesive cylinder/tube insect trap designed to address the challenges of traditional pest control methods. This innovative trap features a substantially cylindrical form with enclosed ends, fully enveloped in a sticky adhesive substance, capable of ensnaring various types of insects upon contact. A key aspect of the invention is the inclusion of a removable plastic cover that safeguards the adhesive layer, ensuring its potency and stickiness are preserved until the moment of use. The cylindrical design offers versatility in placement, allowing the trap to be positioned in strategic locations, including corners, cabinet interiors, beneath appliances, or adhered to vertical surfaces. The discreet form factor allows the trap to blend seamlessly into its surroundings or remain hidden from view, making it an unobtrusive presence in both residential and commercial spaces. The invention provides an effective, environmentally safe, and user-friendly solution for insect and pest entrapment, emphasizing ease of use, aesthetic discretion, and environmental safety.

This invention relates to an intelligent insect trap, which allows a simple and effective monitoring of the insects captured inside the trap. It consists of a cylindrical or prismatic housing with a perimetral entrance accessing to an usable internal surface positioned in the active state/mode. This surface is adhesive and located near a container that holds a semiochemical lure. The trap also includes one or more video or photo cameras oriented towards the active sticky surface. Additionally, the trap comprises two or more adherent surfaces, which are mobile along the housing, preferably in the form of a disc or ring, and configured to be consecutively positioned in the active state.
