Fig. 1: kissing bug monitoring system. Upper photographs show one of the isolating wooden cabinets with doors open (right) and partially closed (left). Below-right is an individual monitoring unit and below-left a disassembled light-trap box. Parallel and alternated wooden sheets (similar to a muffler exhaust) allow air entrance (flow direction shown by white arrows), while avoiding light. The black painting in the inside further avoids light entrance. A digital Luximeter Model TM-201 (Tenmars Electronics CO., Ltd, Taiwan) was used to confirm total darkness inside the cabinets when doors are closed and fluorescent light bulb off.
