System and method for microwave-based targeted inactivation of red palm weevil infestations in palm trees

A pest control device, comprising

• an electronic controller, wherein the electronic controller is cuboidal, has a top side, a bottom side, a front side, a back side, a left side, and a right side;
• a microwave generator disposed in the electronic controller, wherein the microwave generator is connected to a microwave emitter probe via a coaxial cable,
• wherein the microwave emitter probe is connected at the top side of the electronic controller,
• wherein the microwave emitter probe is cylindrical with a microwave emitter probe length of 5 to 50 cm and a microwave emitter probe diameter of 0.25 to 5 cm;
• a temperature monitor probe connected to the left side of the electronic controller via a flexible cable,
• wherein the temperature monitor probe is cylindrical with a temperature monitor probe length of 1 to 25 cm and a temperature monitor probe diameter of 0.5 to 5 cm,
• wherein the temperature monitor probe comprises an infrared sensor to detect a temperature inside a tree;
• a temperature monitoring system disposed at the front side of the electronic controller,
• wherein the temperature monitoring system comprises a feedback circuit to display a thermogram and to adjust a microwave frequency, an alert system with a temperature threshold limit, and an user interface panel,
• wherein the user interface panel displays the temperature, the microwave frequency, and a microwave operation time;
• at least one or more cooling fans disposed at an apex of the left and right sides of the electronic controller;
• a control unit positioned below the user interface panel at the front of the electronic controller,
• wherein the control unit comprises a microwave intensity button, a power supply button, and a microwave operation time button.
