Insect attractant lighting method and insect attractant lighting system

In an insect pest attraction lighting system which irradiates a field with attraction light for attracting insect pests to keep the insect pests away from a plant, an effect of protection against diurnal insect pests is improved. An insect pest attraction lighting system 1 includes: a setting unit 2 which sets, as an operating time zone, an arbitrary time zone during nighttime; an artificial sunlight source unit 3 which irradiates the entirety of an interior of a plastic greenhouse H 1 with artificial sunlight which does not include wavelength components of 500 to 600 nm, in the operating time zone; and an attraction light source unit 4 which irradiates a portion of the interior of the plastic greenhouse H 1 with attraction light in the operating time zone. The irradiation of the artificial sunlight during nighttime increases the activity of diurnal insect pests B 1, and the attraction light attracts the activity-increased diurnal insect pests B 1, whereby the activity-increased diurnal insect pests B 1 can be kept away from plants P 1. Thus, protection against the diurnal insect pests B 1 can positively be provided. In addition, since the artificial sunlight does not include light in a wavelength range of 500 to 600 nm which is reflected by the plants P 1, it is made difficult for the diurnal insect pests B 1 to visually recognize the plants P 1, and therefore, an effect of protection against insects is enhanced further.

Reflective Fly Repellent Ball Device of Bead Facets and Multiple Water Molecules that Repel Flies

Fly Balls repel files because flies are frightened and confused by the multiple thousands of reflective images they see whenever they are in a Fly Balls' no flies zone. A combination of a flies 4,000 eyes; faceted bead(s) reflections; and multiple water molecule reflections create a visual reflective predator threat to a fly.

Furniture Protector against Crawling Arthropods
