An adhesive film for attracting and capturing flying insects and method of use are disclosed. The adhesive film includes an adhesive material, an olfactory attractant, a visual attractant and a tackifier. The method of use includes a barrier style trap or a log roll comprised of an adhesive film for attracting and capturing flying insects wound onto a central cylindrical core. The adhesive film may be unwound and attached to a second mounting apparatus. The log roll may be comprised of a continuous sheet of perforated adhesive film which comprises individual sheets wound, which may be removed from the log roll when the adhesiveness of the outer sheet is exhausted, exposing a fresh sheet.

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

A removable substrate for an insect attractant device includes a body having front and rear faces, a grip portion, and a base disposed opposite the grip portion. The removable substrate further includes a first lateral portion extending from the base, and a second lateral portion extending from the base. A projection extends outwardly from the base, lowermost ends of the first and second lateral portions are disposed below the projection, and an adhesive is applied to the front face and the rear face.

The present disclosure describes a trap for catching or killing insects, and a method of attracting flying insects to an insect trap. The trap includes a back housing, an insect capture or killing mechanism, an insect attracting light source including light emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit ultra violet radiation, and a cover with openings that allow insects to enter the trap. The light source is directed immediately inwardly through plus or minor 45 degrees towards the insect capture or killing mechanism and is precluded from being directed immediately outwardly through the cover.

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.

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. The body further includes a light source seating unit provided so as to correspond to the light source mounting unit, and a light source may have one side thereof mounted on the light source mounting unit and the other side thereof seated on the light source seating unit.

An insect trapping device for trapping insects and shielding them from view includes a housing, which defines an interior space. The housing has a top, which is open. A panel is selectively insertable through the top into the interior space. A fastener engaged to a back of the housing can engage a substrate so that the housing is mounted thereto. An adhesive compound and an attractant are positioned upon a surface of the panel. The attractant attracts insects into the interior space and the adhesive compound traps insects landing upon the panel.

A pest trap assembly and method of use includes the obtaining of a trap assembly and the selective modification of the structure to produce one or more functional traps. As a structure, the trap assembly includes a relatively flat structure having an adhesive layer across one surface and a film cover over the top of the adhesive layer. A user may use the whole structure as a glue trap or may elect to break it up into different independent sections. Perforated lines are provided to aid in separation. A user may elect to build a three-dimensional structure defining an interior volume from the structure. The configuration may be that of conical or of a pod where the interior volume is defined by a plurality of sides. These configurations aid in capturing air born pests or pests hiding on lower surfaces and are designed to be hung or suspended.
