A smart, electronic, modified pitfall trap, for automatic detection of adult beetle pests inside the grain mass is presented. The whole system is equipped with optoelectronic sensors to guard the entrance of the trap in order to detect, time-stamp, and GPS tag the incoming insect. Insect counts as well as environmental parameters that correlate with insect’s population development are wirelessly transmitted to a central monitoring agency in real time, are visualized and streamed to statistical methods to assist effective control of grain pests. The prototype trap was put in a large plastic barrel (120lt) with 80kg maize. Adult beetles of various species were collected from laboratory rearings and transferred to the experimental barrel. Caught beetle adults were checked and counted after 24h and were compared with the counts from the electronic system. Results from the evaluation procedure showed that our system is very accurate, reaching 98-99% accuracy on automatic counts compared with real detected numbers of adult beetles inside the trap. In this work we emphasize on how the traps can be selforganized in networks that collectively report data at local, regional, country, continental, and global scales using the emerging technology of the Internet of Things (IoT). We argue that smart traps communicating through IoT to report in real-time the level of the pest population from the grain mass straight to a human controlled agency can, in the very near future, have a profound impact on the decision making process in stored grain protection.
