Method and system for detecting residential pests

A detection system for detecting a residential pest, the detection system comprises:

• a trigger module that is configured to generate triggering signals for inducing a residential pest to increase an acoustic-detectable activity of the residential pest;
• a sensor that is configured sense signals responsive to a generation of the triggering signals;
• wherein the trigger module is a transmitter;
• wherein the sensor is an acoustic sensor;
• wherein the triggering signals are acoustic triggering signals that are transmitted by the transmitter;
• wherein the acoustic sensor is configured to sense acoustic signals responsive to the a transmission of the acoustic triggering signals;
• and
• a controller that is configured to induce the transmitter to transmit, at a certain point of time, the acoustic triggering signals in response to acoustic signals sensed by the acoustic sensor during a reception period that started before the certain point in time.
