EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Pest control has been transformed by the widespread use of broad-
spectrum chemical insecticides. But there is growing concern about
environmental contamination and human health risks—and continuing
frustration over the ability of pests to develop resistance to pesticides. In
Technologically based Pest Management, Kill Thy Prey Company
advocates the sweeping adoption of ecologically based pest management
that promotes both agricultural productivity and a balanced ecosystem.
This volume offers a vision and strategies for creating a solid,
comprehensive knowledge base to support a pest management system that
incorporates technological processes implemented by a RC-and-IoT based
solar-powered insect electrocutor. The result will be safe, profitable, and
durable pest management strategies.

Insect electrocutor is a highly effective solution for insect control in


agriculture. Insects can be a major problem for farmers, damaging crops
and reducing yields, and traditional insect control methods can be harmful
to the environment and expensive to implement.
Kill Thy Prey Company

COMPANY OVERVIEW
Kill thy Prey is a pest management company which offers an insect
electrocutor that provides advancement, high quality, and reliable
product, safe and effective system in accordance with industrial-related
companies, and a dedicated effort towards overall customer’s
satisfaction achieved by a pest free and therefore working environment.

The primary objective of the company is to control if possible eliminate


pests and preventing infestations ideally without the utilization of any
biocides. This is done by incorporating a Remote Control-IoT Based
Control System for Solar-Powered Insect Electrocutor. In effect this
consists of UV light for insect attraction-and-then-electrocution. This
technology is generated by a solar power and controlled by an analog
and IoT system.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY
One potential market opportunity for a solar-powered insect
electrocutor with RC and IoT-based control systems could be in the
agriculture industry. Farmers often struggle with insect infestations that
can damage crops and reduce yields. Insecticides can be expensive and
harmful to the environment, so many farmers are looking for alternative
solutions.

A solar-powered insect electrocutor with RC and IoT-based control


systems could offer a more sustainable having an eco-friendly solution.
The device could be placed in fields and powered by solar panels,
making it easy to install and operate. The RC and IoT-based control
systems could allow farmers to monitor and control the device remotely,
ensuring that it is operating efficiently and effectively.

This type of device could also have applications in backyard gardening


and other agricultural industries, where insect control is important for
our health and safety. Overall, there is a growing demand for sustainable
and effective insect control solutions, and a solar-powered insect
electrocutor with RC and IoT-based control systems could be a
promising market opportunity.

PRODUCT FEATURES
Instead of using biocides to prevent infestation, the KP Company develop an advanced
technology-based pest control-management, Remote Control-IoT Based Control System
for Solar-Powered Insect Electrocutor.

The integrated insect electrocutor includes the following:


1.UV Light
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can be detected by insects. Nocturnal insects are often attracted to
light sources that release huge levels of UV radiation, and devices that exploit this behavior,
such as light traps for anticipating pest outbreaks, and electric insect killers, have been created.
When agricultural facilities are covered with film that blocks near-UV radiation, pests like
thrips and whiteflies are less likely to invade and cause harm. Aphids and other flying insects
can be deterred from approaching cultivated area by placing reflective material.
2.Remote Control based Control System
A software that can automate the assessment of extensive and complex procedures is called
remote monitoring and control. It can gather data, analyze it, and then use the results to make
decisions as part of its fundamental role. The system normally consists of a command device
where the control command is entered and an actuator where it is executed. Simple remote-
control systems can only perform switching-style operations. These systems essentially run in an
open loop, which means they don't rely on feedback. The most distinctive remote-control
systems incorporate operator-provided feedback
3.IoT based Control System
IoT describes the network of physical things (or "things") that are embedded with sensors,
software, and other technologies in order to communicate and exchange data with other systems
and devices through the internet.. Furthermore, it can access to low-cost, low-power sensor
technology. In its connectivity, it is now simple to connect sensors to the cloud and other
"things" for effective data transfer due to the wide range of network protocols for the internet.
4.Solar Powered System
Solar panels convert solar energy from sunlight into electrical energy. Solar Panels capture solar
energy. When sunlight hits the thin layer of semi-conductive material, it triggers the release of
electrons from silicon atoms. The negatively charged electrons are then attracted to the
positively charged side of the cell. The more sunlight that reaches the solar panels, the more
energy they generate. During peak sun hours, the panels in your solar array receive the
maximum concentration of sunlight, which means they can convert sunlight to generate the
maximum amount of electricity during this period.
