Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (1) for trapping ecdysozoans, in particular insects and arachnids such as bedbugs, cockroaches, ants and spiders. In particular, the trap of the present invention comprises a sticky substance (7) on the interior surface of the roof (3) and/or of the walls (5b). The present invention also relates to methods to trap ecdysozoans.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for eliminating acarids, such as dust mites. The methods include contacting a sheet impregnated with an acarid attracting composition with an object containing acarids. Acarids enter the sheet, which can then be removed to eliminate the acarids. Also disclosed are to acarid attracting compositions and products and kits for attracting, trapping and eliminating acarids.

Abstract: The current invention concerns an aqueous synergistic solution for promoting non-lethal migration of acarids from their habitat towards a carrier comprising an attractant for the attraction of acarids, wherein said attractant is limonene, one or more attraction enhancers chosen from the group citronellal, linalool, geranyl acetate, caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide and/or neryl acetate, and an emulsifier, preferably polysorbate. The current invention also concerns a method for attracting and holding acarids, comprising of the steps: providing a sheet having interstices sufficiently large and a thickness sufficiently large to hold acarids; and applying on said sheet the aqueous synergistic solution in a non-lethal dose per area. The synergistic solution promotes migration of acarids from their habitat into said sheet, after which the sheet can be disposed or the acarids removed therefrom.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising menthone, either alone (i.e., isolated) or within an essential oil such as peppermint oil, for attracting pests, in particular acarids. The present invention also relates to methods and devices for attracting pests, in particular acarids.
