Smart pest control device
Description
The device uses real time temperature and humidity data to detect environmental conditions ideal for pest activity. It then automatically activates its dual lure system of blue UV light (wavelength 340 - 420 nm) to attract and disrupt reproductive and visual system pests such as moths, beetles, and cranberry fruit worms at peak pest hours (6:00 PM - 10:00 PM and dawn 4:30AM to 6:30AM), and aggregation pheromone drowning pests in an infused water basin without farmer’s direct involvement, reducing reliance on chemical pesticides. Additionally, its GSM based alert system and remote dashboard monitoring provide enhanced security and data driven insights. This makes our solution not only environmentally friendly but also uniquely autonomous, precise, and user friendly
