A pest is defined as a destructive insect or other animal that attacks crops, food, livestock, and humans. Insects like houseflies, mosquitoes, and moths are often attracted to food, human or animal presence, and light. These are the most commonly found pests in public areas, and if left unchecked, they rapidly spread diseases and cause considerable damage to the environment. It is thus necessary to implement pest control measures to ensure healthy living conditions.

Pest control equipment and insect traps are getting increasingly popular these days. They play a key role in trapping and killing insects in public and indoor spaces, which helps minimise pest populations in surrounding areas. In this project, I have looked into the possibilities of redesigning insect killers by adopting newer technologies that are safer and more effective with reduced health hazards.
