摘要：
Techniques for detecting and tracking pests such as disease vectors include a directional acoustic sensor or array such as a phased array of microphones or a directional microphone; at least one processor; and at least one memory including one or more sequences of instructions. The memory and instructions and processor cause an apparatus to track an individual or swarm of pests based on direction and acoustic signatures within a beam of the directional acoustic sensor or array, in which the acoustic signature uniquely identifies a type of pest. In some embodiments, remedial apparatus is directed to impose remedial action against the individual or swarm of pests. In some embodiments the remedial apparatus includes an optical barrier.
