Abstract:
1. A pest monitoring and eradication system comprising: a) at least one molding strip assembly having a planar top surface, a planar bottom surface, a contoured front surface, a planar back surface, and planar side surfaces defining a molding strip of predetermined height, width, length dimensions; b) dark interior space within each molding strip accessible from a molding strip surface; c) means for removably attaching each molding strip to a secondary planar surface comprising a protective strip across the bottom surface, at least two spacing strips of equal thickness having adhesive top and bottom surfaces with removable protective tape over the spacing strip adhesive surfaces until the bottom strip protective surface is removed and each spacing strip adhesive top side is applied to the molding bottom side and each spacing strip bottom side is applied to the secondary planar surface; whereby the molding strip bottom surface is parallel to the secondary planar surface at a desired distance, the bottom surface and the secondary planar surface define an opening between the molding strip bottom and secondary planar surface, and the dark interior space within each molding strip is accessible from the opening; d) means for adhesively holding pests entering the dark interior space and preventing pests from escaping; and e) means for exterminating pests adhesively held to the molding strip dark interior space; whereby a plurality of molding strips are configured as a defined area perimeter.
