An insect capture device is used to monitor, capture, and/or kill insects. The device has a raised portion to create a gap between a surface and the device to entice insects to pass under. At the raised portion, a glue board includes an adhesive facing the surface. As the insect passes under the raised portion, the insect can unknowingly become attached to the adhesive portion and stuck thereto. To aid in installing the glue board, one or more sections of the glue board can be free of adhesive to connect or fit to a part of the device to hold the glue board in place, while also allowing for easy removal to replace the glue board with a new one, free of captured insects.

A pest detection device including a capacitive sensor having a plurality of traces that can be capacitively sensed using self-capacitance or mutual capacitance measurements. The sensor including conductive shield traces to facilitate a number of sensing applications. The sensor including a coated portion to facilitate crawling of pests over the sensing area of the circuit board.
