Systems and methods for detecting the presence of pests

Abstract

System for detecting the presence of pests. In one aspect, the system comprises an imaging system that includes: a housing with one or more pest inlets; a pest attractant disposed within the housing; a pest detection surface; an image capture device configured to capture one or more images of the pest detection surface; and an array of trigger sensors for detecting a target pest on or about to enter the pest detection surface. The trigger sensor array is configured to provide a trigger signal if an object is detected, and the image capture device is configured to take an image of the pest detection surface in response to the trigger signal.
