The lure draws them in
Each line ships with a species-specific cartridge: aggregation pheromone and related attractants matched to the target. It seats in the lid well and is rated for twelve months of release.
Insect GateHow it works
Detect. Count. Report.
Crawling insects do not fly into a trap. They walk. That is why one housing serves bed bugs, stored-product beetles, German cockroaches, silverfish and firebrats.
The oval on the lid is the lure well. The slots on each side are the entry gates. There are no other markings.
They take a corner
The housing sits flush, so nothing crawls under it. Insects enter one of four side channels the way they enter a crack. Each channel is sized for the target group.
An optical gate counts
An infrared emitter faces a detector across every channel. A broken beam is timestamped, filtered so a single crawl is a single count, and recorded for that corner.
The number leaves the unit
Counts are stored locally and read over Bluetooth by a technician, or sent over LoRaWAN to the console with lure health and battery. The unit is never opened for inspection.
What it is, and what it is not
Insect Gate is a monitor. It is not an insecticide and does not replace sanitation, heat, bait or a trained inspector. It is the instrument that tells you whether a room is quiet, or whether activity has started.
Glue boards still provide a specimen for identification. Insect Gate provides a timestamped count. Most programmes run both for a period, then keep the gate once the count is trusted.
