Digital sentry systems8/28/2023 The Photonic Fence has been tested to be effective against varieties of insects that pose a threat to agricultural crops, such as the Asian citrus psyllid and drosophila suzukii. The Photonic Fence has been effective in targeting and killing Asian citrus psyllids and Spotted-Wing Drosophila in a lab setting, and with only minor changes to software should be able to effectively target and destroy a wide range of similarly sized flying insects. The Photonic Fence is being developed specifically to protect high-value crops where use of insecticides is undesirable or ineffective. To access the online researcher interface for the PFMD, click here. Detailed Specifications for the device can be found here and additional information regarding device configuration can be found here. We anticipate that the use of the PFMD and these related analysis tools will revolutionize the field of entomological study of flying insects! The data can be collected on a continuous 24/7 basis for days at a time and then visualized and analyzed through a cloud-based, online researcher interface. The PFMD is also able to track other insects, such as bees and flies, ranging in size from approximately 4 mm up to 40 mm or more. Our goal is to accelerate the work being done to design better bed nets, repellants, attractants, and other measures to prevent mosquitos from biting humans and spreading disease. The PFMD’s first application is in testing the design and effectiveness of vector control measures against mosquitos. We are proud to introduce our first product! The Photonic Fence Monitoring Device is designed to track the flight of insects in order to enable more detailed study of flight behavior than is possible with current equipment and software tools.
