Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for locating an insect in a space and for indicating to a user the location of the insect and/or for eliminating the insect. The system includes a camera to obtain an image of the space and a processor to detect an object by comparing at least two images of the space and determine that the object is an insect based on a characteristic of the object in an image of the space. In some embodiments an independently mobile device may be controlled to eliminate the insect at the location of the insect in the space.
