Bed bug detector system
A bed bug attracting assembly is positioned at an upper location. A bed bug killing assembly is positioned at an intermediate location beneath the attracting assembly. A base assembly is positioned at a lower location beneath the killing assembly for maximizing the number of bed bugs attracted and killed. A control assembly has a user visible digital UPC code, a battery power percentage indicator with an ON/OFF button and a sound activated switch, a cell phone with a macro-lens, and two light emitting diode positioned adjacent thereto to illuminate bed bugs. An electric grid triggers a camera detector. A CO2 self-emitting device includes graphite and an electrical charge. A platform with pores holds a lure over a miniature fan. A programmable computer is preprogrammed to modulate attraction modalities. A GPS transmitter is activated to sent to receives to secure the area of infestation.
1. A bed bug detector system ( 10 ) configured for attracting bed bugs, for killing attracted bed bugs, and for maximizing bed bugs attracted and killed comprising, in combination:
a base assembly ( 14 ) comprising:
a base ( 16 ) comprising:
a circular floor ( 18 ),
a cylindrical side wall ( 20 ),
an open top,
the circular floor, cylindrical side wall and open top comprising a lower chamber,
a forward region ( 22 ),
a rearward region ( 24 ),
a left side region ( 26 ), and
a right side region ( 28 );
a fluid canister ( 32 ) containing water ( 34 ) and a yeast pill ( 36 ) and a sugar pill ( 38 ) functioning to create carbon dioxide and attract bed bugs;
a motor ( 42 ) with a fluid fan ( 44 ) adapted to evacuate carbon dioxide from the fluid canister to attract bed bugs;
a sugar jar ( 46 ) retaining a supply of sugar tablets;
a yeast jar ( 48 ) retaining a supply of yeast;
three stacks of adhesive pads ( 52 ) recessed on the circular floor of the base for receiving and retaining bed bugs, each stack including alternating adhesive and abhesive sheets;
a smoke/fire detector ( 54 );
two battery packs ( 56 ) within the lower chamber, each battery pack being adjacent to the forward and rearward regions respectively for powering the components of the base assembly;
charging ports adapted to recharge the battery pack;
a killing assembly ( 100 ) structurally and operatively coupled to the base assembly comprising:
an upper dish ( 102 ); and
a lower dish ( 104 ),
the upper dish comprising:
parallel electrically charged wires ( 106 ) adapted to kill bed bugs coming into contact there with;
a grid ( 108 ) of un-charged wires spaced above the electrically charged wires to abate human contact with the electrically charged wires;
the lower dish comprising:
a plurality of adhesive sheets ( 110 ) supported in two stacks ( 112 ), ( 114 ) laterally spaced in the lower dish to receive and retain bed bugs killed by the electrically charged wires, the two stacks each comprising the adhesive sheets with abhesive sheets ( 116 ) between the adhesive sheets,
a plurality of heating elements ( 118 ) in the lower dish adapted to attract bed bugs,
a tube ( 124 ) in a circular configuration secured within the killing assembly, the tube having apertures along the length the tube having a free end operatively coupled to the fluid canister for creating a cloud of carbon dioxide;
olfactory patches ( 128 ) positioned within the base assembly soaked in pheromones to attract bed bugs to be killed;
an attracting assembly ( 200 ) structurally and operatively coupled to the killing assembly and adapted to attract bed bugs to be killed comprising:
a frusto-conical side wall ( 202 ) with an open top ( 204 ) and an open bottom ( 206 );
peripheral components on the exterior surface of the attracting assembly comprising:
heating elements ( 118 ),
synthetic fur ( 216 ),
adhesive patches ( 218 ),
indicia in the form of eye balls ( 220 ) providing an appearance of a creature to the system;
square holes ( 226 ) located peripherally through the attracting assembly to create a cloud around the system and in proximity thereto for attracting bed bugs to be killed;
lower clips ( 230 ) on the base assembly coupling the killing assembly to the base assembly;
upper clips ( 232 ) on the killing assembly to couple the attracting assembly to the killing assembly;
a plurality of olfactory patches ( 128 ) positioned within the base assembly and soaked in pheromones to attract bed bugs to be killed; and
a control assembly ( 300 ) structurally and operatively coupled to the attracting assembly, the killing assembly, the base assembly, and a cell phone ( 314 ) comprising:
a user visible digital UPC code ( 304 );
a battery power percentage indicator ( 306 ), the battery power percentage indicator comprising an ON/OFF button ( 310 ) and a hands free switch ( 308 );
the cell phone ( 314 ) structurally and operatively coupled to the attracting assembly, the cell phone having a macro-lens ( 316 ) for wide angle photography with enlargements, the cell phone comprising:
a cable ( 328 ) for cell phone support and repositioning purposes; and
two light emitting diodes ( 332 ) positioned adjacent to the macro-lens for illuminating the bed bug to be photographed; and
an electric grid ( 334 ) having a built-in alarm ( 336 ), the electric grid being on the side of the base of the bed bug detector to trigger a camera detector system ( 338 );
a CO 2 self-emitting device ( 340 ), the CO 2 self-emitting device including graphite and an electrical charge curved and shaped and configured to fit into the attracting assembly;
a platform ( 342 ) in the center, the platform having pores ( 352 ), the platform holding a lure ( 346 ) over a miniature fan ( 344 );
a programmable computer chip ( 348 ) pre-programmed for use, the computer chip being in line with the electronic portion of the device to modulate the attraction modalities including CO 2 , heat, and fans, to reduce resistance to such attractants by the bed bug; and
a GPS transmitter ( 350 ) to be activated alongside the camera and sent to receivers to secure an area of infestation, the GPS transmitter adapted to send an IP address.
