Abstract: Systems and methods for pest detection and control using sensors and chemical dispersers. Systems use sensors to detect and classify pests based on wingbeat frequency and other environmental data, such as temperature and humidity. This information is then used to deploy targeted pest control chemicals, such as pheromone-based chemicals, which disrupt pest mating cycles without harming the environment. Systems aim to improve pest control effectiveness, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impacts by leveraging detailed information about pest types, locations, and activity times to deploy highly targeted interventions.

Abstract: The inventive subject matter is directed to pest detection systems that implement infrared emitters with detectors that look for variations in incident light indicative of wingbeats from various pests. Emitters and detectors are placed on one or more printed circuit boards such that infrared light projected from an emitter can be received by one or more detectors. Based on signal generated by a detector, systems of the inventive subject matter can determine whether a pest has flown between an emitter and detector. To save on power, emitter, detectors, or both can be driven by pulse-width modulation. Methods of the inventive subject matter are directed to determining pest presence via signal filtering and interpretation.
