A base assembly has an upward plate, a downward plate, a side wall, a front, a back, and laterally spaced sides. A drive assembly has drive wheels extending downwardly from the downward plate, a caster wheel, and proximity sensors. A vacuum assembly has a vacuum slit in the downward plate between the lateral sides and a vacuum-generating source capable of pulling a vacuum through the vacuum slit. A tower assembly is adapted to attract and kill insects while the base assembly and the tower assembly are being optionally driven by the drive assembly and the vacuum assembly is vacuuming up insects.

A system for exterminating insects includes a housing, a fluid-heating assembly housed within the housing that includes one or more fuel reserves, one or more burners that receive fuel from the one or more fuel reserves, and a heat exchanger defining a sinuous flow path positioned to receive heat from the one or more burners, a fluid inlet line coupled to the housing and fluidly connectable to a residential hose bib, the fluid inlet line fluidly coupled to the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger, such that fluid is directed from the fluid inlet line directly to the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger, and a fluid outlet line coupled to the housing and fluidly coupled to the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger such that fluid is directed from the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger directly through the fluid outlet line.

An insect suppression device, and further relates to a self-moving device, a charging station, and an automatic working system that are mounted with the insect suppression device are provided. The self-moving device moves in a working area, performs a working task, and includes: a body and a movement module that is mounted on the body and drives the self-moving device to move. The self-moving device includes: an insect suppression device, mounted to the body, and a control module, controlling the movement module to move and controlling the insect suppression device to work. The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The self-moving device can move autonomously in the working area and perform an insect suppression task, and has a wide coverage area, flexible work, and high efficiency, so that automatic control can be implemented, thereby freeing a user from the harassment of insects.

A tarp system for controlling psylla and other orchard pests that includes two or more tarps sized and shaped to fit the width of an orchard row, a roller with handle, a container, oil, a pole apparatus for dislodging pests, and a broom. A method for using the tarp system includes grounding a first tarp below a tree, saturating a roller with oil in the container, rolling oil onto the tarp with the roller, and tapping tree branches over the tarp to dislodge pests on to the tarp, placing a second tarp slightly under the first tarp, sweeping debris from the first tarp to the second tarp, and disposing of the second tarp.

A device for detecting a group of offending objects and determining that the number of offending objects is above a predetermined threshold of offending objects. The device uses an image capturing system to scan areas to detect flying objects such as flying insects to detect a presence of a swarm of such flying objects. An action head on the device is configured to automatically respond once a swarm of objects is identified. The action head may disperse the swarm by expelling a substance such as a mist, smoke, repellant or insecticide.

An induction heating system a base and an electromagnetic radiation source configured to generate an emission area in the base. The emission area comprises a portion of the base that receives electromagnetic radiation from the electromagnetic radiation source. The system also includes a ferromagnetic element and an element controller configured to move the ferromagnetic element into and out of the emission area.
