Bug zapper traps may be installed indoors, or outdoors if they are constructed to withstand the effects of weather. However, they are not effective at killing biting insects (female mosquitoes and other insects) outdoors, [4] [5] being much more effective at attracting and killing other harmless and beneficial insects.
Electronic pest control is the name given to any of several types of electrically powered devices designed to repel or eliminate pests, usually rodents or insects. Since these devices are not regulated under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act in the United States, the EPA does not require the same kind of efficacy testing that it does for chemical pesticides.
An operational data store (ODS) is used for operational reporting and as a source of data for the enterprise data warehouse (EDW). It is a complementary element to an EDW in a decision support environment, and is used for operational reporting, controls, and decision making, as opposed to the EDW, which is used for tactical and strategic decision support.
A typical flyswatter. A flyswatter (or fly-swat, fly swatter [1]) usually consists of a small rectangular or round sheet of a lightweight, flexible, vented material (usually thin metallic, rubber, or plastic mesh) around 10 cm (4 in) across, attached to a handle about 30 to 60 cm (1 to 2 ft) long made of a lightweight material such as wire, wood, plastic, or metal.
Mosquito control is a vital public-health practice throughout the world and especially in the tropics because mosquitoes spread many diseases, such as malaria and the Zika virus. Mosquito-control operations are targeted to multiple problems: Nuisance mosquitoes bother people around homes or in parks and recreational areas;
System analysis in the field of electrical engineering characterizes electrical systems and their properties. System analysis can be used to represent almost anything from population growth to audio speakers; electrical engineers often use it because of its direct relevance to many areas of their discipline, most notably signal processing, communication systems and control systems.
Operating deflection shape (ODS), is a term often used in the structural vibration analysis, known as ODS analysis.ODS analysis is a method used for visualisation of the vibration pattern of a machine or structure as influenced by its own operating forces.
There are 112 genera of mosquitoes, containing approximately 3,500 species. [1] Human malaria is transmitted only by females of the genus Anopheles. Of the approximately 430 Anopheles species, while over 100 are known to be able to transmit malaria to humans, only 30–40 commonly do so in nature.
