Abstract: A system for dispensing a pest attractant or repellent into a surrounding environment, comprising: a main reservoir for storing a fluid; a control volume coupled to the main reservoir, a first flow restrictor arranged to regulate a flow of the fluid between the main reservoir and the control volume; a second flow restrictor arranged to regulate a flow of the fluid out of the control volume; and, an evaporation medium positioned at or downstream of the first flow restrictor, wherein at least one of the first and the second flow restrictors is a controllable flow restrictor, and wherein the system further comprises electronically controllable actuation means for actuating the controllable flow restrictor.

Abstract: A system for detecting the presence of pests. In one aspect the system comprises an imaging system including: a housing including one or more pest entrances; a pest attractant arranged within the housing; a pest detection surface; an image capture device, said image capture device being configured to capture one or more images of the pest detection surface; and a triggering sensor arrangement for detecting a target pest that is on or about to enter the pest detection surface, said triggering sensor arrangement being configured to provide a trigger-signal if the presence of an object is detected, the image capture device being configured to take an image of the pest detection surface in response to the trigger-signal.
