    摘要: The present invention is about turning the gaseous envelope that encoats, protects certain arthropods from their external environment against them. It teaches to apply radiation to the arthropods body in order to dysfunction the exacting geometry needed to maintain this protective envelope. This absorbed radiation thus makes the arthropod vulnerable to pesticides and other chemical agents. It also interferes with the arthropods ability to adequately breathe through their plastron covering by forcing it to increase its rate of metabolism via this absorbed radiation.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an insect trap (1) including a hollow body (2) formed by two elements interlocking each other, the outer surface (3) of said hollow body (2) is pierced by a plurality of openings (4), each opening (4) extending into a tunnel (7) facing the inside of the hollow body (2), characterized in that removable tunnel elements (11) are inserted at the surface (3) of said hollow body (2) via the upper portion (13) of same, wherein said upper portion fits with the insert hole made directly in the hollow body (2). Said tunnel elements (11) comprises a lower portion that corresponds to the tunnel (7) and the inner diameter and the length of which can be adapted to the dimensions of the target insect in such a way that they force said insect located therein to move in one direction toward the inside of the hollow body (2) but do not allow said insect to turn around by pivoting on itself.

    摘要: A system and method of monitoring and controlling cellulose-consuming pests in a predetermined location above ground level or in the walls of buildings, such as on or in interior or exterior walls of residential or commercial buildings, aboard boats and watercraft, directly on infested support members like beams, studs, and joists, attached to landscape features like timbers, fences, and sheds, and on infested trees. The system is meant to be an attractive system to the termites, rather than an interceptor system like the present art. A plurality of cellulose-containing bait units are removably placed in the assembly. A moisture-retaining member is positioned in the upper portion above an uppermost of the bait units. A removable cap frictionally fittingly engages with the upper portion. The cap has an opening allowing liquid, such as water, to be poured into the main body to moisten the bait units and make them more attractive to foraging insects. If consumption of the cellulose material is detected, the bait units may be substituted with a bait material containing poisonous substance. The pests consume the bait and carry the poison to the colonies.
