Wireless smart mosquito and insect trap device, network and method of counting a population of the mosquitoes or insects

A network comprising:

• a plurality of insect or mosquito trapping devices in communication with each other, each device comprising:
• a housing having a directional force through a narrow path to move an insect or mosquito in a predetermined direction;
• one or more detectors to detect a presence of an insect or mosquito along the narrow path;
• an isolated basket to trap the insect or mosquito at a location below or at an end of the narrow path;
• a processor to track a count of a population in the basket based on detection of the presence of the insect or mosquito;
• and
• a remotely-controlled basket emptying assembly coupled to the basket for emptying the basket in response to receipt of a control signal and placing the basket back on-line after the emptying is complete.

A method comprising:

• providing, in a housing with a narrow path, a directional force through the narrow path to move an insect or mosquito in a predetermined direction, the housing having an isolated basket to trap the insect or mosquito at a location below or at an end of the narrow path;
• detecting, by one or more detectors, a presence of an insect or mosquito along the narrow path;
• counting, by a processor, a population in the basket based on detection of the presence of the insect or mosquito;
• displaying a representation of an amount of the population in the basket;
• determining when the basket needs emptying;
• and
• emptying, by a remotely-controlled basket emptying assembly, the basket in response to determining that the basket needs emptying.
