<p>An insect control station (10, 40, 320, 600) provides an analog signal to a speaker (22, 606) and delivers acoustic energy from the speaker to a resonator (64, 608) positioned in the path of the acoustic energy. The analog signal can be provided from a memory by way of a digital to analog converter (82), from a digital signal processor, or from a mechanical element (44). Preferably, the acoustic energy emitted from one or more of the control stations (10, 40, 320, 600) of any of these arrangements is simulative of at least a portion of a heartbeat. The control station (320, 600) can include a surface that supports a pesticide, a gluey substance, an attractant (e.g., a pattern), and can deliver one or more feeding stimulants such as acetone, lactic acid, octenol, heat, carbon dioxide or some other byproduct of respiration or digestion.</p> |
