摘要:
Compounds, compositions, kits, devices, and methods of attracting, detecting, eradicating, controlling, or killing an insect, such as a bed bug, by utilizing insect attractant, arresting, and/or aggregation compounds and compositions is provided. Insect attractant, arresting, and/or aggregation compounds identified from insect fecal extract by an analytical technique, such as gas chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Carbon-13 NMR, mass spectroscopy, LC-MS, GC-MS, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), or combinations thereof are provided. A bed bug attractant, arresting, and/or aggregation compound identified from bed bug feces and exhibiting a Carbon-13 NMR peak at about δ 159.453 ppm is also provided.
摘要:
A detection device and method for monitoring infestation by insects such as bed bugs is provided. A suitable device comprises a pair of plates separated by an internal spacing sized to permit entry into the detection device by one or more insects. Also disclosed is a method for readily detecting insects such as bed bugs in a multiple areas such as in multiple hotel rooms, areas where animals are housed, or the like.
