Various embodiments include systems and methods of arthropod detection using an electronic arthropod detection device. The electronic arthropod detection device may scan a surface or a subject using a first sensor that is sensitive to a first band of electromagnetic radiation to detect the presence or likely presence of an arthropod. A camera sensitive to a second band of electromagnetic radiation captures at least one image and provide the image(s) to an object detection model in response to determining that an arthropod is or is likely present. A processor may initiate an arthropod detected procedure in response to detecting an arthropod in the image(s). In some embodiments, the first sensor may be a millimeter wave radar, a terahertz radar or a far infrared sensor.
