Abstract

The present invention discloses an intelligent pest-killing lamp that attracts, disorients, and ideally kills plant pests, soil insects and sanitary insects, protecting plants and crops. The invention generates light at wavelengths between about 360 nm and about 420 nm with about 365 nm being preferred. The invention can also generates combinations of four colors of light. The light pulses at frequencies ranging from about 250 to about 500 hz, disorienting pests. The invention comprises a screw lamp base, an upper cover, a middle cover, a lamp and a control circuit board. The control circuit board comprises a controller that controls the light pulse frequency and an oscillator that drives the lamp. The screw lamp base is fixed on the upper end of the upper cover, the middle cover is fixed on the lower end of the upper cover, the control circuit board is configured in a space between the upper cover and the middle cover, and two pins on the neck of the lamp run through two holes or hollow cylinders on the lower end of the middle cover with the two pins being attached to the control circuit board.

Claims (13)

1. A pest catcher comprising:

a solar panel providing a source of DC power for a lamp assembly comprising:

a screw lamp base;

an upper cover fixed to the screw lamp base;

a middle cover fixed to the upper cover;

a florescent lamp fixed to the middle cover, said florescent lamp comprising powders that when electrically stimulated emit light comprising up to 4 different wavelengths, all of said wavelengths being between about 360 nm and about 420 nm,

a control circuit board configured in a space between the upper cover and the upper cover and the middle cover, said control circuit board comprising:

a controller that receives DC power from the solar panel, converts the DC power into electrical pulses at frequencies between about 250 hz and about 500 hz and delivers said electrical pulses to an oscillator; and

an oscillator that receives said electrical pulses from said controller and converts said electrical pulses into sine waves that drive said florescent lamp; and

a catch basin located beneath the lamp assembly;

wherein said pest catcher attracts and then disorients pests, causing said pests to fly into the catch basin or fall into the catch basin.

2. The pest catcher of claim 1 further comprising a setting controller, said setting controller fixing the wavelengths emitted by the florescent lamp, fixing the frequencies of the electrical pulses delivered by the controller, fixing the number of light waves simultaneously generated by the florescent lamp and fixing the times of operation of the lamp assembly.

3. The pest catcher of claim 1 , wherein the catch basin further comprises water.
