Arthropods are a phylum of invertebrate animals that contain an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and paired appendages.

Some of the most popular arthropods include scorpions, spiders, millipedes, centipedes, crustaceans, and insects.

One of the biggest issues, when monitoring for insects, is that the insects don’t really want to be caught. Go figure. Regardless of the trap style, whether it be a pitfall trap or a sticky blunder trap, the insects that approach them tend to, by and large, avoid hurtling headlong towards death. We do our best to design traps to outwit these crafty bugs and if you spend some time watching a trap, you’ll see what I mean.

Drugstore (Stegobium paniceum) and cigarette beetles (Lasioderma serricorne) cause serious damage to stored products.

Technology is changing everything and at Insects Limited we recognized the need to take advantage of these changes and create the SightTrap, a device that will provide daily images, insect identification, and insect population counts allowing for the pest professional to do what they are paid to do, solve pest problems.
