Smart Pest Traps
Digital pheromone traps identifying species and density to guide interventions.
⚡ LIVE: hover any module
Overview
Smart Pest Traps are solar-powered, camera-equipped pheromone traps that photograph the sticky board on a schedule, run on-device AI to count and identify each captured insect by species, and stream the data and the photo back to a cloud pest-pressure map. Scouts and IPM managers get push alerts the moment a block crosses its action threshold.
Built for orchards, vineyards, row crops, greenhouses and grain stores that already use sticky / delta / funnel traps but want to stop physically walking every trap every week — turning 12 hours of scouting into a 5-minute morning dashboard check while catching outbreaks days earlier.
- Auto-counts & auto-IDs — no more squinting at sticky boards, no more spreadsheets
- 62-species classifier — codling moth, apple maggot, leafroller, brown stink bug, fruit fly, thrips, whitefly, aphid, plus regional pest packs
- Pressure heatmap — block-by-block visualisation triggers spray decisions on threshold, not calendar
- Lure-replenishment alerts — never get caught with an expired pheromone again
How It Works
The diagram above shows the four layers of a Smart Pest Trap deployment. Hover any module to see the live telemetry it produces.
- Camera Pest Trap — a delta or bucket-style trap with sticky board, replaceable pheromone lure cartridge, an 8 MP IR-cut camera, IR LED flash, solar panel, battery and LoRa / 4G radio. Hangs in the canopy and photographs the board every 2–6 hours.
- AI Vision ID — a YOLOv8 detector + species classifier runs on edge or cloud, drawing a bounding box on every insect, naming the species and assigning a confidence score, then aggregating into a per-block pressure map.
- Cloud Dashboard — every trap across every block rolls up into a 30-day trend, a pressure heatmap, season-threshold tracking and an audit trail of photos for compliance/insurance.
- Scout & Alerts — IPM scouts and farm managers get push and SMS the moment a threshold is breached, with one-tap actions to schedule a spray, order a lure refill, or dispatch a scout to verify in person.
A continuous feedback loop pushes model retrains (new local species), updated thresholds, lure-refill schedules and firmware back to the trap — visible as the purple stream along the bottom of the diagram.
