Technologies
Global PBS™ has
identified several initial applications for consideration. As we explore application opportunities with
scientists, engineers and technology experts, new ideas often emerge. We
encourage you to bookmark the website and follow our blog if we can potentially
benefit your sector.
- Pest Detection
- Our Sensors offer cost-effective
early detection for pest management professionals (PMP). Real-time detection with a high degree
of accuracy will greatly enhance efforts to control pests such as
termites, roaches, bedbugs, rodents and lice in residential and
commercial environs

- Zoonoses
- Early detection of a zoonosis
vector can be critical to relieving human suffering in remote areas or
for populations that cannot recognize the danger for themselves. The global burden of disease (GBD) assessment
will benefit greatly from multi-sectoral efforts and we believe Global
PBS can play a valuable role in that effort

- Agriculture
- Interest in Agricultural
applications is far reaching. The
growing numbers of invasive pests that threaten food supplies around the
world can be detected. Beetles, fruit flies, weevils, and many other
pests can be detected early enough to avoid crop ruin, financial losses
to farmers and increased prices to consumers

- Turfgrass
- Golf course owners tell us they have
several key issues: 1) State restrictions on the amount of pesticides
that can be used in a given period of time; 2) Best method
practices (BMP) don't always target pest such as mole crickets at the
most effective time. 3) Expensive pesticides are wasted and
replacement of turfgrass disrupts operations because of failure to treat
in the right location at the right time; 4) leaching of
manufactured substances into area waters from over-treating or
"preventative" application is a growing environmental concern.
Consider the benefits of "targeted" application of minimal
amounts of pesticide to achieve the same results
Any turfgrass environment offers the same opportunity as a golf course to benefit from this technology. Sports complexes are good examples - baseball, soccer, and polo to name a few
Municipalities with public parks, schools, and monument grounds maintained by taxpayer dollars would also benefit from cost effective reduction of "random application" of pesticides

- Forestry
- The "early warning"
nature of our Sensor System will be very valuable to the agencies that
are researching methods to control the mountain pine beetle destruction
in western Canada (and now the northwest US). This pest plagues Canada's Number 1 Industry, threatening to destroy thousands of acres of prime forest
- We know the beetle is present
for several months before damage occurs. Early detection would offer an
opportunity for re-directing harvesting and other loss prevention
options. We are investigating use
of a "line of defense" sensor pattern for high value areas like old growth timber, parks and recreation areas, and city areas with
arbors trees. Intelligent "herding" and "repelling"
methodologies are being researched

- Viticulture
- Opportunity exists to assist the wine industry with early detection of mold or fungus that occurs in the late stages of growth when grapes contain high concentrations of sugar. Mold and fungus is indeed biological and therefore subject to detection by our Sensors (Sauternes, of course, are the exception to mold concerns).
