1. A method of arthropod detection using an electronic arthropod detection device, the method comprising:

  • receiving an indication associated with a type of arthropod to be detected;

    retrieving an object detection model from a plurality of object detection models in response to receiving the indication associated with the type of arthropod to be detected;

    scanning a surface or a subject using a first sensor of the electronic arthropod detection device that is sensitive to a first band of electromagnetic radiation;

    determining, by a processor of the electronic arthropod detection device, whether an arthropod is or is likely present based on data from the first sensor,capturing, by the electronic arthropod detection device, the at least one image using an imaging sensor sensitive to a second band of electromagnetic radiation that differs from the first band in response to determining that an arthropod is or is likely present;

    processing, by the processor, the at least one image using the object detection model to determine whether an arthropod is detected in the at least one image; and

    initiating an arthropod detected procedure in response to determining that an arthropod is detected in the at least one image.
