Behavior-tuned bed bug trap and monitoring device

A trap, comprising:

• a body having at least one entry point, the body substantially opaque to visible light;
• a material layer disposed within the body, the material layer selected from the group consisting of an adhesive layer and a fabric layer;
• at least one chemical attractant source disposed within the body;
• at least one non-chemical attractant source disposed within the body;
• control circuitry coupled the at least one chemical attractant source and to the at least one non-chemical attractant source;
• and
• wherein the shape of the at least one entry point mimics a refuge preferred by at least one ectoparasitic arthropod with cryptic behavior;
• and wherein the control circuitry is operable to activate release of at least one chemical attractant from the chemical attractant source.

A method of operating a trap having at least one entry point shaped to mimic a refuge preferred by at least one ectoparasitic arthropod, comprising:

• receiving a status query;
• determining the status of the trap;
• transmitting, responsive to the status query;
• the determined status of the trap;
• receiving a command;
• and
• activating one or more controllable trap elements.
