A rapid method to detect and/or remove mobile insects inside granular material is presented. The core of this method is to heat grain samples to the desired temperatures (about 55 C) using microwave or radio frequency energy to force insects to move out of the granular material.

The present invention describes a method and associated equipment for using irradiated, magnetic energy (6) to carry out pest control in plants and vegetable matter e.g. agricultural crops and vegetable foodstuffs. The invention is also suitable for pest control in woody materials and is useful for any material, which is reasonably transparent to B-field energy, to attack a pest (1) that is more opaque to B-field energy than the substrate on or within which the pest (1) is located, such as wasps inside a wall cavity, or slugs and snails under the soil, or mosquito larvae in water.

In accordance with various embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, an apparatus for killing insects generally comprising a backplate, having pivotally mounted thereto a first flange comprising an electrically conductive material and a second flange, the first and second flange being of similar shape; a flange operating mechanism, operably coupled to the first and second flanges, and configured for causing a position of the first and second flanges to move from an open position to a closed position; and a power switch, for selectively providing electrical energy to the electrically conductive material of the first flange such that an insect in contact therewith may be killed.

The present invention provides an electrified garbage container cover that destroys insects that may attempt to access, or escape from a garbage container. The electrified garbage container cover frame is configured to fit in the opening of a garbage container enclosing or sealing the interior of the garbage container with the lower edge of the electrified garbage container cover. The electrified garbage container cover frame supports a mesh frame portion between the upper and lower edges, which supports an electrified mesh. The electrified mesh is capable of electrifying insects destroying them upon contact. The electrified garbage container cover also has a fastening mechanism supported by the frame, which is configured to attach the electrified garbage container cover to a garbage container. The electrified garbage container cover also has a power source which is able to provide electricity to the electrified mesh, and is capable of being recharged.

A device (10) for trapping and killing marine organisms (14) such as animal plankton, salmon lice and other parasites, comprises a body (12; 12) configured for submersion in water (15). The body (12; 12) comprises at least one light source (16) configured and controlled for attracting said marine organisms, and an internal cavity (20) having an opening (20) for fluid communication with at least a portion of the water. The light sources (16) are arranged inside the cavity (20) and arranged and controlled to emit light waves through said opening and into at least a portion of the water. At least one positive electrode (24; 24; 24; 32) is arranged in the cavity and electrically connected to a low-voltage power source (26; 27; 30), and at least one negative electrode (15a) is arranged in the water and electrically connected to said power source (26; 27; 30). The invented device generates, by means of electrolysis with the water (15), chlorine gas (21) at or in a region near the at least one positive electrode, and the chlorine gas (21) reacts with water inside the cavity to form hypochloric acid and hydrochloric acid (31).

A mobile system for exterminating insects includes a transportable mobile frame with a conveyance device mounted to the frame, a plate mounted adjacent to an opening to the conveyance device, and a liquid supply and distribution system configured to apply a volume of liquid on a surface of the plate and thereby wet the surface of the plate. The opening to the conveyance device receives insects that are demobilized by contact with the wetted surface of the plate and fall into the conveyance device. The conveyance device exterminates the demobilized insects and conveys the exterminated insects toward a discharge from the mobile system. A motorized vehicle such as a tractor with a tow bar system can pull the mobile system across an open field. In at least one embodiment, insects are exterminated through mechanical means without the use of electrocution.

A device for detecting offending features on individual granular objects or small objects. The device uses an image capturing system to scan batches of granular or small objects such as wheat, grain, rice, seeds, legumes or nuts to detect any undesirable feature such as disease, mold or spoilage. An action head on the device is configured to automatically respond once an undesirable feature is identified. The action head may capture the individual objects having undesirable features or it may cast them aside.
