An adhesive-type insect trap includes a body having a hole for insertion of an adhesive sheet; a light source mounting unit disposed on the body; and a cover which is detachably mounted on the body and has a through-hole in at least a part thereof, and an adhesive sheet including a sticky substance and a sheet. The body includes a guide unit by which the adhesive sheet is guided, and the cover comprises a light refraction unit therein or on a surface thereof.

According to an aspect of the invention, a method for trapping indoor adult Phycitinae, which is an adult moth belonging to Phycitinae subfamily includes: emitting attracting light at a predetermined photon flux density for a predetermined period of time or longer; forming a guide path to guide the adult Phycitinae to a vicinity of an emission end of the attracting light in a region having a photon flux density lower than the predetermined photon flux density on a side lower than a height of the emission end; and trapping the adult Phycitinae attracted by the attracting light in the guide path.

Insect capture is improved by providing a glue board having an adhesive coating on its front surface and forming a pattern of insect attractant UV light on that front surface. That pattern includes areas of bright UV light generated by light-emitting diodes that generate light at different wavelengths behind and visible through the glue board by flying insects, dimmer areas of light generated by said light-emitting diodes that bounce off other portions of the device onto the glue board, and areas of shadow on the glue board where no or little light from said light-emitting diodes is present.

An insect trapping system includes an enclosed container having an entrance hole formed in a vertical wall and an acoustic lure device located within the container. The enclosed container may be formed from a transparent material. The system may also include a support stand, formed from a dark-colored material, and used to support the container.

An insect catching device may include at least two insect capture surfaces, a first surface including a first color, and a second surface including a second, lighter color relative to the first color of the first surface. The second color of the second surface may highlight the presence of insects captured thereon facilitating at least one of ease of counting and ease of identification of captured insects. The insect catching device may also include a line of weakening disposed between the first surface and the second surface. The line of weakening may include at least one perforation. The second surface may be detachable from the first surface along the line of weakening. The first color may be configured to decrease visibility of captured insects on the first surface observable by a viewer through an insect trap cover.

A pest trap comprises a mounting platform and an adhesive coated cartridge. A solar panel is disposed within the mounting platform. The adhesive coated cartridge is detachably attached to the mounting platform. The adhesive coated cartridge comprises a light emitting diode (LED) electrically connected to the solar panel for attracting a pest.

There is disclosed an insect trapping light which includes a visible light housing defining a visible light chamber and an insect trapping housing defining a separate UV light chamber. The visible light housing includes a floor having a matrix white light LEDs on one side while the insect trapping housing includes a plurality of UV LEDs mounted on the floor other side. The visible light housing also includes a rectangular frame, a translucent light diffuser plate and a translucent logo plate. The diffuser plate is mounted to the frame such that there are no gaps that enable an insect to enter the visible light housing. The insect trapping housing includes a mounting plate and an adhesive board with removable adhesive strips.

The invention relates to an insect trap (10) and more particularly to an insect trap which has been designed to facilitate the destruction of micro-organisms thereby countering odours and mitigating against the spread of germs. The trap (10) comprises a. a housing (12); b. a cover (14); c. one or a plurality of insect attracting lights (16); and d. an insect catching means (18) and further comprises a UVC lamp which emits radiation (or other means) which is capable of destroying air-borne pathogens. The insect attractant lamps (16) heat the air which is convected as a consequence of louvered openings (26) in the cover and an opening (30) in the top (28) of the trap and circulate across the UVC lamp where the micro-organisms are killed.

A bed bug attracting assembly is positioned at an upper location. A bed bug killing assembly is positioned at an intermediate location beneath the attracting assembly. A base assembly is positioned at a lower location beneath the killing assembly for maximizing the number of bed bugs attracted and killed. A control assembly has a user visible digital UPC code, a battery power percentage indicator with an ON/OFF button and a sound activated switch, a cell phone with a macro-lens, and two light emitting diode positioned adjacent thereto to illuminate bed bugs. An electric grid triggers a camera detector. A CO2 self-emitting device includes graphite and an electrical charge. A platform with pores holds a lure over a miniature fan. A programmable computer is preprogrammed to modulate attraction modalities. A GPS transmitter is activated to sent to receives to secure the area of infestation.

An insect trap connectable to an electrical wall outlet is provided that releasably receives a replaceable fan for trapping insect to an adhesive material. A light bar emits light in a sideways direction rearward of the fan while the fan blocks forward light to produce a glow that attract insects to the adhesive surface of the fan. The fan is supported in cantilever by the insect trap.
