20090272023 | PEST BORDERLINE CONTROL SYSTEM - The present invention provides for a novel, but simply structured pest control system that protects structures such as buildings and humans by providing a system that is selectively attached to the exterior of structures and/or to the surrounding perimeter of structures which creates a physical and chemical barrier where crawling insects and/or pests cannot survive without food and/or exposition to chemical agents such as pesticide. Alternatively the pest control system provides for the possibility that the crawling insects and/or pests agents may abandon the structure without exposition to the chemical agent, thus furthering an ecological homeostasis. | 11-05-2009 |

20120204477 | ARTHROPOD CAPTURE SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method and system for trapping arthropods including a base having a vertical axis, an outer wall coupled to the base and surrounding the axis, an inner wall coupled to the base and surrounding the axis, and a fluid source arranged to dispose the fluid between the outer wall and inner wall. The system may include an intermediate wall coupled to the base, the intermediate wall surrounding the axis and being disposed between the inner wall and the outer wall. The outer wall and the inner wall each have an interior and exterior surface, the interior surface of the inner wall and the exterior surface of the outer wall have a first texture, and the exterior surface of the inner wall and the interior surface of the outer wall have a second texture, the first texture being more coarse than the second texture. | 08-16-2012 |
20120227313 | CRAWLING INSECT (BED BUG AND MITE) ABATEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - A crawling insect abatement matrix, system and method includes a cellular, nonwoven, wet laid or fibrous substrate with a shaped surface to which diatomaceous earth (diatomite, kieselgur, amorphous silica) particles are bound, either in situ or with a binder/coating applied to the substrate. A representative cellular substrate is polyurethane foam with a convoluted or otherwise shaped surface to which a coating that includes diatomaceous earth particles has been applied. The substrate is formed as a sheet, mat or pad that may be installed between a mattress and bedding structure or bedding textiles or below furniture articles, or in clothing compartments, or formed as a tape that may be applied to a surface of a mattress, a bedding structure, a headboard, bedding textiles, or to a clothing compartment. | 09-13-2012 |
20130025185 | CRAWLING INSECT BARRIER - A crawling insect barrier is provided in the form of a plate, coaster, block or the like having an upper support surface comprising an insect free region for supporting an article to be preserved from contact with insects. For example, the article may comprise a container of food. A circuit is formed about the insect free region comprising a crawling insect physical repellent such as diatomaceous earth. In one version of the invention the circuit comprises a moat of talcum powder about the insect free region. In another version of the invention sides of the insect barrier bear the insect repellent to thereby form a circuit, i.e. a closed path, about the insect free region. | 01-31-2013 |
20130042520 | PEST CONTROL SYSTEM - A pest control system for bed bugs or similar crawling pests. The system includes at least one intercept wall extending generally perpendicularly to the plane on which the pests are traveling for directing the pests to interact with a trap or a treatment zone. The effect of the intercept wall may be enhanced by provision of at least one substantially smooth guide surface positioned adjacent the intercept wall. When pests come into contact with a smooth surface they experience difficulty in traversing it. This causes the bugs to cling to the more textured surface that they are already traversing. The intercept wall is preferably placed in the direct path of the transition line between the textured surface and the smoother guide surfaces and forces the pests to interact with an adjacent trap or treatment zone. | 02-21-2013 |
20130199082 | RED PALM WEEVIL SENSING AND CONTROL SYSTEM - A red palm weevil control system for retaining and exterminating red palm weevils in palm trees is disclosed. The control system may include one or more light detection systems, one or more light emitting devices positioned such that light emitted from the light emitting device can be detected by the light detection system, and one or more red palm weevil food materials that is configured to block light emitted from the light emitting device from being sensed by the light detection system. In use, once a red palm weevil has eaten the food, the light detection system senses the light emitted from the light emitting device, signifying the presence of red palm weevils. The red palm weevil food material may also include a magnetic material and an antimicrobial material. | 08-08-2013 |

An anti-ant member is located in the recess and mounted to outside of the support. When ants climb along the support, the anti-ant member generates substance to keep the ants away from it, so as to avoid the ants from reaching food on the object. | 08-07-2014 |
20140250766 | ARTHROPOD MONITORING TRAP - An insect trap has a “U” or similar shaped cross-section view, forming a circle or square, with a dark-colored coarse outer surface and a light-colored smooth inner surface. The trap can be placed around an arthropod-infested object such as furniture leg, luggage, food to form a barrier to prevent movement of arthropods between the infested object and its surrounding areas. | 09-11-2014 |
20150033615 | MITE TRAPPING MAT - A mite trapping mat includes a mite attracting material; a film bag enclosing the mite attracting material; and a buffer element which forms a space inside the film bag. The film bag has a large number of small holes penetrating through the film, and the inside space of the film bag is a dark space. A mite trapping paper container includes: a mite attracting material; a buffer element containing the mite attracting material; and a flat paper box case in which the buffer element is stored.
