An operating device creating a rising heated vapor which passes through a grill having a concave surface enabling the condensate formed on the grill to migrate towards the center of the grill and away from the periphery of the grill which prevents condensate from dropping onto the operating device interfering with its operation.

A device, system, and method of controlling pests are disclosed. The system includes an active infrared sensor including infrared emitters and photodetectors. The active infrared sensor is configured to determine an active infrared signature for a monitored space, determine whether the active infrared signature is outside a predetermined window in relation to a baseline signature, and activate a controller in response to determining that the active infrared signature is outside the window. The controller is configured to perform a pest control action in response to activation. The pest control action may include notifying a remote system. The active infrared sensor may be included in a housing having a first opening, a second opening, and a passage sized to receive an insect. The active infrared sensor may be coupled to the housing such that the active infrared sensor is positioned to illuminate part of the passage.

An insect monitoring system (ISM) and related e-commerce system are provided. The ISM includes an insect attracting light, an intake, an exhaust, an airflow conduit between intake and exhaust, an insect collecting mesh in the conduit, a fan for generating airflow in the airflow conduit, and one or more cameras pointed on the insect collecting mesh. The insect attracting light and the fan are activated such that insects are drawn into the intake and trapped against the insect collecting mesh. The images of the insect collecting mesh are processed and analyzed using a machine learning algorithm to recognize a type and number of insects. Recommendations are provided based on the analysis. In some aspects, the insect monitoring system is connected to electronic client devices over a communication network. The electronic devices are provided with an e-commerce application for sale of products and services responsive to the recommendations.

A system for detecting the presence of pests. In one aspect the system comprises an imaging system including: a housing including one or more pest entrances; a pest attractant arranged within the housing; a pest detection surface; an image capture device, said image capture device being configured to capture one or more images of the pest detection surface; and a triggering sensor arrangement for detecting a target pest that is on or about to enter the pest detection surface, said triggering sensor arrangement being configured to provide a trigger-signal if the presence of an object is detected, the image capture device being configured to take an image of the pest detection surface in response to the trigger-signal.

A portable insect repelling vaporizer device including a heating element and removable repellant cartridge that is only activated when the cartridge is in place.

An electrical outlet cover gasket comprising a rectangular front face, a rectangular rear face opposite the front face, a central aperture extending through a center of the gasket, and a bug cover. The bug cover is molded as a single piece with the gasket and extends forward from the front face. The bug cover may extend forward from the front face on at least two sides of the front face. Additionally, the bug cover may have at least one slit extending through the bug cover. The at least one slit allows an electrical cord to pass through the bug cover. The bug cover is configured to cover at least one cord port of the electrical outlet cover when the gasket is installed in an electrical outlet cover.

An insect decoder and communicator, comprising a user input interface, a microcontroller, a power source, a non-user input, an output interface, and a communication interface to communicate with external devices, where the user input interface, microcontroller, power source, non-user input, output interface, and communication interface are electronically connected, a preset pattern of insect communication from an external device loaded into the microcontroller through the communication interface and stored into memory, and the non-user input connected to the microcontroller and causing the microcontroller to modify the frequency of the preset patterns of insect communication produced by the output interface to accurately emulate patterns of insect communications affected by ambient temperature.

A combination duster and sprayer device for both cleaning and spraying insecticide includes a housing that is tubular and has a bottom. The housing has a top that is open defining a rim, such that the housing is configured for insertion of an aerosol can. A coupler is coupled to the bottom, such that the coupler is configured to engage a complimentary connector of an extension device. A casing that has an open end is complimentary to the housing, such that the housing is insertable into the casing. The housing is frictionally couplable to the casing. A plurality of bristles is coupled to and extends outwardly from the casing. The bristles are pliable. An opening is positioned in a closed end of the casing. An actuator is insertable into the opening and configured to engage the nozzle of an aerosol can to direct spray to the area selected by the user.

A system and method for processing and analyzing a photographic image of a board having a sticky surface of an insect traps allows for remote monitoring of deployed insect traps to maintain effectiveness of the insect traps while eliminating the need for frequent manual inspections. The processing and analyzing can include converting the photographic image to a grayscale image and determining a concentration of insects on the board and can be performed using edge computing.
