The KISS, a keep-it-simple pneumatic insect sampling device, was constructed by modifying a conventional engine-driven leaf blower with the addition of a metal frame to support an insect collection net in front of the blower outlet nozzle. In field operation the KISS is hand-carried along a row of plants with the blower outlet positioned so that the plants pass between the blower nozzle and the inlet of the insect net. High speed air at about 150 mph from the blower dislodges insects from the plants and carries them into the net. Research results indicate that the collection efficiency of the KISS for boll weevils in early season cotton is high, and that, compared to hand sampling, the efficiencies of field scouting for this insect can be increased by about ten fold with the use of the mechanical device. Other insect sampling and collection applications for the KISS are described.
