A bug-removal vacuum machine has a horizontal deck, and a structure providing a trapezoidal-shaped air passage directing insects drawn by vacuum-induced air flow through an electrified killing matrix, and into a collection tray.

A machine for harvesting seeds or insects includes a mechanical compressor, a seed removal device, and an air curtain for directing seeds into troughs below the seed removal device.

Disclosed herein are robotic devices which traverse a pre-defined coverage area in order to capture and eradicate ticks in the area. A vacuum mechanism provides a suction force for pulling ticks into the device through a frontal opening, after which the ticks are captured in a receptacle and crushed by a rotating arm. In certain embodiments, the devices include heat strips near the frontal opening of the device that mimic the human body temperature. Additionally, the device can include carbon dioxide emitters that pass carbon dioxide to the receptacle or through the frontal opening to increase attraction of ticks.

A grasshopper harvesting system for collecting grasshoppers featuring a vehicle, a collection array, a transfer mechanism, and a storage container or shredder. The system can be attached to an existing vehicle such as a tractor, ATV, truck, or a GPS-controlled autonomous vehicle that can be programmed to collect grasshoppers according to a particular desired route of a particular field, to protect crops or for consumption purposes. Further, the system may feature a detachable bin that empties the grasshoppers when the bin is full. The system may collect grasshopper pests in organic fields, reduce locust swarm densities in breeding grounds, and harvest grasshoppers from rangeland. The grasshoppers may either be destroyed or processed as edible insects for food and feed.

An attracting assembly is positioned at an upper location to attract fleas. A killing assembly is positioned at an intermediate location beneath the attracting assembly to kill the attracted fleas. A moving assembly is positioned at a lower location beneath the killing assembly for maximizing the number of fleas attracted and killed.

An attracting assembly is positioned at an upper location to attract bed bugs. A killing assembly is positioned at an intermediate location beneath the attracting assembly to kill the attracted bed bugs. A base assembly is positioned at a lower location beneath the killing assembly for maximizing the number of bed bugs attracted and killed. A control assembly has a user visible digital UPC code, a battery power percentage indicator with an ON/OFF button and a sound activated switch, a cell phone with a macro-lens for wide angle photography with enlargements, and two light emitting diodes positioned adjacent to the macro-lens to illuminate bed bugs to be photographed.
