Abstract

A cockroach monitor includes a monitoring chamber with one or more openings to allow cockroaches to enter. A light is emitted from a light emitter into the monitoring chamber and received by a photoelectric transducer for detecting cockroaches by analyzing the received light for obstruction in the path of the light. In various embodiments, a board having a sticky surface can be attached to a ceiling of the monitoring chamber to capture cockroaches by their backs. In various embodiment, the light emitter and the photoelectric transducer are arranged in the cockroach monitor for the photoelectric transducer to receive the emitted light directly form the light emitter (without reflection) or to receive the emitted light as reflected from a surface.
