A release device for a vaporizable and/or sublimateable pesticide is provided. The release device is suitable for use against subterranean pests (e.g. fire ants). The release device may be driven into and/or placed in a cavity within the soil or other substrate where the pests reside. The release device comprises a vapor injector which releases the pesticidal composition through apertures into the pest habitat, where it is distributed in vapor form.

An improved remote insect detector is disclosed. The detector includes a pitfall trap that is adapted to trap a target insect within the pitfall trap. An insect funnel passage is located below the pitfall trap and is dimensioned to retain the target insect in a detecting position. An optical beam detection circuit operates to detect the target insect in the detecting position and operates to generate a detection signal.
