A system for integrated pest management in an environment includes devices positioned within the environment. The devices each include a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from a network device. The system further includes a network to provide communication between the network device to the devices. The network device receives communication and control functions from a remote computer for distribution to the devices. The system further includes a sensor positioned within the environment to transmit sensor data to the remote computer. The sensor is configured to detect and transmit a parameter for the environment to the remote computer. The system further includes a controller to control the emission of a fluid from a source of the fluid in fluid communication with the devices. The controller is configured to set or adjust an operation parameter of the devices in response to the sensor data.

1. A system for integrated pest management in an environment, the system comprising: at least one device positioned within the environment, the at least one device including a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from a network device;a network to provide communication between the network device to the at least one device, the network device receiving communication and control functions from a remote computer for distribution to the at least one device;at least one sensor positioned within the environment to transmit sensor data to the remote computer, the at least one sensor being configured to detect and transmit at least one parameter for the environment to the remote computer;a controller to control, via the network device, the emission of a fluid, from a source of the fluid in fluid communication with the at least one device, the controller being configured to set or adjust an operation parameter of the at least one device in response to the sensor data; anda switch, operatively coupled to the controller, configured to receive control instructions from the controller, and the control instructions causing the system to switch from utilizing one container in the system to utilizing a different container in the system,wherein the controller is configured to implement a container package replenishment schedule, the container package replenishment schedule including at least part of a kan-ban inventory control system. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one device includes first devices configured to repel pests and second devices configured to attract pests. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the first devices are positioned in a first location of the environment and the second devices are positioned in a second location of the environment, the first location being separate and remote from the second location. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the network device is at least one of a wide-area network gateway device and a local area network control device. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the network device transmits signals to and receives signals from the at least one fluid level sensor to the remote computer. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the fluid level sensor includes: 1) a floating magnet disposed within a track inside at least one container of the at least one device, wherein as a fluid level inside the at least one container changes, the floating magnet moves substantially vertically along the track, and 2) at least one of a Hall effect sensor and a Hall effect switch disposed outside the at least one container at a position to enable sensing the position of the floating magnet in the track. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one sensor includes one of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a wind speed sensor (anemometer), and a wind direction sensor. 8. A method of operating at least one device associated with an integrated pest management system within an environment, the method comprising: receiving, at a computer, data from one or more sensors disposed in an environment, the data providing an indication that a service is being delivered in the environment;identifying at least one device disposed in the environment, the at least one device including a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from the computer;based on the indication, creating, via the computer, an electronic data structure defining at least one physical operational state of the at least one device, the electronic data structure including data specifying at least one parameter of the at least one device; andcausing the at least one device to implement the at least one defined operational state,wherein causing the at least one device to implement the at least one defined operational state includes at least one of scheduling and coordination of resources, the at least one of scheduling and coordinating of resources including causing the system to switch from utilizing one container in the system to utilizing a different container in the system, andwherein the computer is configured to implement a container package replenishment schedule, the container package replenishment schedule including at least part of a kan-ban inventory control system. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein implementing the at least one defined operational state includes performing a days of supply calculation. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the calculation involves taking a measured current fluid level and dividing it by the average usage rate per day to determine a number of days of supply remaining. 11. The method of claim 8, wherein the scheduling and coordination of resources further includes at least one of the dispatch of a replenishment technician and the transmission of an alert/email to on-site personnel. 12. The method of claim 8, wherein the at least one device includes first devices configured to repel pests and second devices configured to attract pests. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the first devices are positioned in a first location of the environment and the second devices are positioned in a second location of the environment, the first location being separate and remote from the second location. 14. The method of claim 8, wherein the data includes at least one of temperature, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction. 15. A method of managing a pest control system in an environment, the method comprising: disposing at least one device within the environment, the at least one device including a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from a wide-area network gateway device;networking the network gateway device to the at least one device, the network gateway device receiving communication and control functions from a remote computer for distribution to the at least one device;disposing at least one sensor within the environment that transmits sensor data to the remote computer;receiving at least one parameter for the environment at the remote computer;controlling, via the network gateway device, the emission of a fluid, from a source of the fluid in fluid communication with the at least one device, controlling including setting or adjusting an operation parameter of the at least one device in response to the sensor data; andreceiving control instructions from the remote computer and switching from utilizing one container in the system to utilizing a different container in the system,wherein the remote computer is configured to implement a container package replenishment schedule, the container package replenishment schedule including at least part of a kan-ban inventory control system. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the at least one device includes first devices configured to repel insects and second devices configured to attract insects, the first devices being positioned in a first location of the environment and the second devices being positioned in a second location of the environment, the first location being separate and remote from the second location.
