An electronic bait box assembly for storing earthworms includes a box for containing earth and earthworms. A lid is removably attached to the box for closing the box. A voltage unit is coupled to the bait box and the voltage unit is in electrical communication with an interior of the box. Moreover, the voltage unit is placed in electrical communication with the earth that is positioned in the box. The voltage unit induces an electrical voltage through the earth when the voltage unit is turned on. In this way the voltage unit urges the earthworms to move upwardly in the earth thereby facilitating a user to remove the earthworms for fishing bait.

Automatic detection and elimination of mites through laser exposure is provided. In various embodiments, light is emitted into a target area from at least one light source. Light reflected from a target within the target area is detected by at least one photodetector. A signal is produced proportional to an intensity of the reflected light. A laser pulse is emitted into the target area by a laser emitter when the signal exceeds a predetermined threshold.

It is disclosed a device for controlling and/or euthanizing vermin or pests for preventing such vermin or pests from entering into a geographical area or into a building, wherein the device comprises at least one completely or partially uninsulated electrically conducting wire or conductor connected to an electrical current source, providing controlled electrical pulses to said conductor or wire in the form of pulses or pulse trains. The device may be used in a method for controlling the access of pests/vermin to a geographical location, building or property wherein the electrically conducting wire(s) lead(s) an electrical current with an amperage of not less than 0.0001 A. The device and method is particularly suited for removing/controlling pests/vermin on land.

A battery-free electric mosquito swatter, comprising a flat swatting portion (1), a handle (2), a control circuit board (3), and a mechanical energy-based power generation device (5). The flat swatting portion (1) consists of a swatter frame and a swatter net. The flat swatting portion (1) is connected to the handle (2), the control circuit board (3) and the mechanical energy-based power generation device (5) are disposed within the handle (2), and the swatting net and the mechanical energy-based power generation device (5) are electrically connected to the control circuit board (3). The mechanical energy-based power generation device (5) comprises a hand squeeze member (51), a gear transmission mechanism, and a power generator (57). The hand squeeze member (51) is provided with a curved gear rack (511) meshing with an input gear of the gear transmission mechanism. An output gear of the gear transmission mechanism drives a rotating shaft of a rotor of the power generator (57) to rotate. The power generator (57) is electrically connected to the control circuit board (3). The handle (2) is provided with a discharge button switch (4) used to short a positive and negative electrode of the swatter net. The electric mosquito swatter of the present invention does not require a battery, lowers a use cost, and reduces environmental pollution caused by waste batteries. In addition, the present invention provides a reasonable and reliable overall design and safety during use, has a long service life and a low cost, and is easy to assemble and ready for use immediately after squeezing, thus providing convenience and fun during use.

The present invention relates to a mosquito killer, including a mounting base and a mosquito-killing bat unit, wherein the mosquito-killing bat unit, a handle portion and a movably arranged locking piece; and when a mosquito-killing portion of the mosquito-killing bat unit is inserted into an accommodating cavity of the mounting base, the mounting base drives a locking piece to move and unlock the handle portion, and the handle portion may be turned over to one side of the mounting base. By adoption of the above solution, when the mosquito-killing bat unit is arranged on the mounting base or is used singly, the handle portion of the mosquito-killing bat unit may be turned over for storage.

A method for reducing a population size of a colony of magnetosensitive insects includes placing wire loop near a nest sheltering the colony, driving the wire loop with an electrical current sufficient to produce a transmitted magnetic field stronger than the earth's natural magnetic field, exposing eggs and pupae from the colony to the transmitted magnetic field, and maintaining exposure of the colony to the transmitted magnetic field until the population size of the colony decreases.

Aspects of the present invention determine a presence of insects at a location of a first device that comprises a computer processor, and in response to determining the presence of the insects at the location of the first device, apply a screen overlay that changes colors displayed by a display of the first device.
