An intermittent insect trap, working time of which proceeds by alternating periods, and embodies two primary operations including actuation of ultrasonic waves to excite an attractant and form a mist and formation of a backpressure airflow, thereby ensuring that concentration of the mist is not disturbed and thus reduced by external forces during the course of vaporization, and thus preventing dilution of the attractant. Moreover, intermittent operation of a motor results in substantial savings in power. The insect trap primarily uses a mist excitation device to excite and disperse an insect attractant as attractant particles that suspend in the air and diffuse. After achieving a predetermined diffusion concentration, operation switches over to actuate a backpressure device, which pressures lured insects into a receiving chamber through a valve. The alternating working times and mechanical ensnaring of insects provide the insect trap with effective inducement and power saving features.

A flying inspect trap includes large, multi-directional, oppositely facing ingress openings to elongated chambers housing UV lamps emitting insect attractant light. A disposable cartridge has two sections which mate together to form a container for a roll of adhesive trapping medium. The cartridge sections are opened and spread apart to fit beneath the UV lamps. A motor indexes the adhesive medium so that some unused portion is always available for trapping insects until the roll is exhausted. The spent roll is then rolled into one cartridge section externally; and the two cartridge sections are coupled together to encase the spent roll for disposal.

Pests can be completely killed based on a tropism principle of pests to colour and smell with many killing types. The pest-attracting plate has durative and stable efficacy and low production cost, and is particularly suitable for promotion and popularization.

An integrated system to reduce the entry of flying insects into a predefined area; the system includes a plurality of insect management devices that can act as flying insect traps or flying insect repellants that are controlled either remotely via radio signals or through wires, by a micro controller that utilizes several environmental variables such as current wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, humidity, and other variables to then control the release and/or generation of attractants and/or repellents only to selected insect management devices around the predetermined area to be protected. Insect attractant and/or repellant is pumped underground from a central source to selected insect management devices.

An insecticide packet for killing biting insects comprises an envelope enclosing an insecticide and having a permeable web that is penetrable by the mouthparts of a biting insect. The permeable web allows insect attractants to migrate from within the envelope to the ambient environment. The envelope may be enclosed within an outer protective pocket. The insecticide packet is provided with a plurality of pins extending outwardly from the packet to discourage non-targeted animals from attempting to ingest the envelope or its contents. The packet is provided with a buoyant support arranged so that the permeable web is above the water line when the packet floats on the surface of a water body. The insecticide includes a stomach poison mixed with a liquid food that is preferred by the biting insects, such as cattle blood. Volatile insect attractants may be added to the mixture of stomach poison and food.

In an insect pest attraction lighting system which irradiates a field with attraction light for attracting insect pests to keep the insect pests away from a plant, an effect of protection against diurnal insect pests is improved. An insect pest attraction lighting system 1 includes: a setting unit 2 which sets, as an operating time zone, an arbitrary time zone during nighttime; an artificial sunlight source unit 3 which irradiates the entirety of an interior of a plastic greenhouse H1 with artificial sunlight which does not include wavelength components of 500 to 600 nm, in the operating time zone; and an attraction light source unit 4 which irradiates a portion of the interior of the plastic greenhouse H1 with attraction light in the operating time zone. The irradiation of the artificial sunlight during nighttime increases the activity of diurnal insect pests B1, and the attraction light attracts the activity-increased diurnal insect pests B1, whereby the activity-increased diurnal insect pests B1 can be kept away from plants P1. Thus, protection against the diurnal insect pests B1 can positively be provided. In addition, since the artificial sunlight does not include light in a wavelength range of 500 to 600 nm which is reflected by the plants P1, it is made difficult for the diurnal insect pests B1 to visually recognize the plants P1, and therefore, an effect of protection against insects is enhanced further.
