发明名称 PEST MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD
摘要 In a pest monitoring system (21) and method, a monitoring device (111) is located in proximity to a structure and includes a bait product (113) and a sensor (116) disposed within the bait product. The sensor includes a filament (118) encased within an encasement (119) and reactive to exposure to the environment exterior of the encasement such that at least one electrical characteristic of the sensor changes in response to such exposure. A communication member (121) is connected to the bait product in communication with the sensor to determine the at least one electrical characteristic and send a signal indicative of the at least one electrical characteristic. Based on a plurality of the signals received from of infestation of pests at the at least one monitoring device and a level of degradation of the bait product is determined.

主权项 1. A pest monitoring system comprising: a station housing having an interior space; and a pest monitoring device positionable at least in part within the interior space of the station housing and operable to monitor for the presence of pests within the interior space of the station housing, the pest monitoring device comprising; a bait product positionable within the interior space of the station housing; an electrically conductive sensor disposed at least in part within the bait product, the sensor comprising an electrically conductive filament and an encasement at least in part encasing the electrically conductive filament, the electrically conductive filament being reactive to exposure to the environment within the interior space of the station housing such that at least one electrical characteristic of the electrically conductive sensor changes in response to exposure of the filament to the environment within the interior space of the station housing; and a communication member disposed within the station housing in communication with the electrically conductive sensor, the communication member being operable to determine the at least one electrical characteristic of the electrically conductive sensor and to send a signal exterior of the station housing indicative of the at least one electrical characteristic of the electrically conductive sensor.
