Systems, devices, apparatus and methods of attracting and capturing flies with toxicant treated darkened cords and printed or painted strips on sidewalls of housings. The darkened cords and strips black to confuse flies into believing they are cracks and crevices. Flies feed off the insecticide treated strips and are killed over time. At least one black line over a blue background can simulate a harborage to attract flying insects. At least one black line over a sticky surface card can be used. Geometrical housing shapes can include triangular, pentagon, cylindrical, rectangular, square, cube and / or other geometrical shapes. Housings can be tied off to be suspended. Second housings can be suspended beneath a main housing by attaching strips to the lower suspended housing. The housings can also work in an unassembled state where planar type sheets can be mounted on a wall.

This invention concerns a Small Hive Beetle control harbourage, that is a passive trap that will naturally attract the beetles to enter it. The harbourage comprises an insecticide treated corrugated cardboard sheet. A shell around the cardboard sheet to prevent access to the sheet. At least one opening in the shell, the opening being sized to allow entry to Small Hive Beetles but to prevent entry by bees, and the opening being arranged relative to the cardboard sheet to allow beetles entering the shell to enter the corrugations in the cardboard.

The present invention provides a method for determining the functionality remaining in a functional fabric, the method comprising the steps of: providing a used functional fabric having a known original functionality, a current wear, and a current unknown functionality, providing a light source, providing a detector, optically measuring the current wear using the light source and the detector, and evaluating the current unknown functionality using a correlation that expresses the current unknown functionality as a function of the current wear, optionally the detector further comprises a digital camera, and wherein the method further comprises the step of: obtaining a magnified image of the functional fabric and quantifying the fractal dimension using a box-method fractal analysis on the image. The method may be applied the insecticide treated fabrics.

A composition for surface treatment of timber and wood products that provides protection against insect damage to all surfaces without any need for a secondary insecticide treatment of one or more new, untreated surfaces generated by post-treatment processing operations including sawing, cutting, drilling, bevelling, planing, sanding and / or a combination thereof, comprising one or more non-repellent insecticides.

The invention provides a dual-mode recyclable pest elimination treatment system and relates to a pest elimination device. The dual-mode recyclable pest elimination treatment system is provided with a treatment chamber, two gas collection chambers, an equipment chamber, a control chamber and a carrying platform; the treatment chamber is used for storing the sterilizing gas; the gas collection chambers are used for recycling the sterilizing gas; the first gas collection chamber, the treatment chamber, the second gas collection chamber, the equipment chamber and the control chamber are fixed on the carrying platform in turn; the treatment chamber is provided with a differential pressure sensor, a negative pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a pesticide application pipeline, a pesticide adding pipeline, a balanced differential pressure gas concentration detection collection box, a positive pressure gas tight detection pipe branch, a vacuum pumping pipe branch, a flat compression channel and a circulating compression pipe branch; each gas collection chamber is provided with a differential pressure sensor, a negative pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a positive pressure gas tight detection pipe branch, a vacuum pumping pipe branch, a flat compression channel and a circulating compression pipe branch; the equipment chamber is provided with a positive pressure air compressor, a pipe heater, a double-sensing type electronic weighing instrument, a vacuum pump unit, a gas infrared analysis concentration detector and a fine powder atomizer.

The present invention builds and conveys to users in need thereof a Grass Growth Index (GGI) and a Nematode Suitability Index (NSI), to assist the determination of whether and when to administer parasiticides to grazing livestock, such as bovine, ovine and caprine animals. In particular, the invention relates to a computer-implemented method whereby GGI and NSI are calculated based upon both user-supplied information (e.g. grass / forage type and location data) and user-independent information (e.g. weather and environmental condition data associated with the location over time, and grass and nematode growth parameters). Importantly, the disclosed methods provide users with information as to when and where their herds of grazing animals may be at the greatest risk of parasite infestation.
