In a housing (1), an internal space capable of housing an insect is formed, an opening (11) through which the internal space and an outside communicate with each other is formed, and a portion other than the opening (11) is closed so that the insect is incapable of passing through the portion. Rails (2) in a pair are disposed in parallel with each other on both sides of the opening (11) across the opening (11) on an outer surface of the housing (1), maintain a gap between a face, on which the opening (11) is formed, of the housing (1) and a cover (3) to have a size preventing the insect from passing through the gap, and slidably retain the cover (3) on the external side of the housing (1). A sample holder retains a sample, is slidably retained by the rails (2), and enables the sample to be exposed from the opening (11) to the internal space when being slidably retained by the rails (2) in the state of retaining the sample. The cover (3) and the sample holder retaining the sample can be slid between the rails (2) in the pair in a state in which one side of the cover (3) and one side of the sample holder come into contact with each other, whereby the cover (3) and the sample holder can be moved between a position at which the cover (3) covers the opening (11) and a position at which the sample covers the opening (11).

An anti-contamination bait station includes a housing, rodent entrances into the housing, a removable or opening, lockable housing front, contamination guards above the rodent entrances, poison holders inside the housing, a removable tray, and powder insecticide slots at each end of the housing below the rodent entrances. A bottom portion of the housing provides space for common bricks arranged end to end. A center portion of the housing provides space for the removable tray. A top portion of the housing provides space for rodent poison blocks. The tray includes insecticide troughs art each end aligned with the insect slots and containing insecticide.

A disinfestation article includes a base, external voids and internal voids formed in the base, pesticidal compound disposed in the external and internal voids. The pesticidal compound disposed in the external void being exposed to a surface of the base. The article may further comprise channels connecting one of the internal voids to one of the external voids. The pesticidal compound contains pesticidal particles selected from pyrethroid family or the like. Also claimed is a method of manufacturing which includes mixing pesticidal particles into a molten polymer material to form a mixture, injecting the mixture into a mold to form a molded part, and cooling the molded part to form said disinfestation article. t,?

Method and apparatus for eradicating insects in both a below ground and above ground environment. The device includes a main shaft having a bore therein and a two-piece clamshell on one end for insertion into the insect bed and on the other end a main body which includes a hand grip and a lever for releasing the gas which is held in a separate gas cylinder. The gas flows through a gas tube from the gas cylinder through the main shaft and then out the clamshell end of the main shaft into an insect bed. Two inert gases are used to displace the air in the insect colony wherein the two inert gases are argon and helium. The argon gas is used for underground applications and the helium gas is used for above ground and underground above grade applications. The two-piece clamshell is used for insertion into the ground where it is opened thereby allowing the gas to escape from the gas tube contained inside the clamshell.

A heating chamber system for heat-treating items infested by insects, and methods for manufacturing and using same. The heating chamber system includes an enclosed heating chamber; a bottom portion defining a portion of the enclosed heating chamber and includes a floor skirt and a floor; a top portion defining a portion of the enclosed heating chamber and including a plurality of sidewalls and a roof; and a collapsible architecture configured to support the top portion.

A drive device in which a controller includes a detection determiner, a high threshold that is initially set and a low threshold are switchably set in the detection determiner as thresholds for determining whether or not to capture detection signals, the controller performs: when the detection determiner makes a capture determination before drive processing, low-switching processing to switch the threshold from the high threshold to the low threshold before the drive processing is started based on the determination results; and perform drive cancellation processing to cancel driving of a driver when the detection determiner makes a capture determination after the low-switching processing.

A fragrance and insect repellant dispenser includes a container, a lid, at least one radial set of dispensing openings, a plurality of top openings, a placement collar, a fan assembly, a power source, a plurality of locking mechanism. The radial set of dispensing openings traverses through a lateral wall of the container. The plurality of top openings traverses through a cover of the lid. The placement collar and the power source are adjacently connected onto the lid. The fan assembly is adjacently connected to the lid, opposite of the placement collar. The fan assembly is electrically connected to the power source and positioned within the container. The lid is perimetrically attached to the container by the plurality of locking mechanisms. Resultantly, the fan assembly is able to dispense at least one solution of fragrance and insect repellant through the plurality of dispensing openings and the plurality of top openings.

An apparatus for killing mosquito larvae in a water tank, comprising: a float; a transmitter of acoustic energy, wherein the transmitter is fixed to the float; an extension arm pivotably connected at one end to the float and having a pivotable connection for securing to a water tank at the other end; and an amplifier and controller mechanism for causing the transmitter to emit pulses of acoustic energy, wherein the amplifier/controller is operatively connected to the transmitter and has a power source.
