This invention relates to a series of physical pest control devices, herein referred to as "SENSOR ACTIVATED PEST CONTROL ASPIRATORS" or "S.A.P.C.A.". This invention is designed to capture pests like a lurking-robotic pest predator. This invention provides improvement to existing traps in that trapping takes place without the pest becoming engaged in or on the trapping device. Consequently, the efficiency of trapping is enhanced for common applications such as roaches. silverfish and mice, and is particularly useful in new applications for the control of social Hymenoptera (wasps, hornets, bumble bees, honey bees, Africanized bees, and fire ants). The embodiment of this invention is a pest catching system that incorporates a true motion detecting sensor (not just a trigger) in turn connected to a responding-vacuum aspirator to specifically form a S.A.P.C.A. action-head. This action-head incorporates the sucking aspirator end and the sensor into a functional form for each particular pest application. At an opportune moment, in response to an approaching or passing pest animal, the S.A.P.C.A. suddenly draws in and captures the pest. An array of design models differ to suit the pest and the application. The positioning of the S.A.P.C.A. action-head at specific locations, specifically where a particular pest type instinctively frequents, is of importance.
