The present invention relates generally to the field of insect traps. More specifically, the present invention relates to an adhesive insect trap and a dispenser for supply an insect tape. The device has a housing, with a button, a locking mechanism, and an interior space. The interior space has at least one spool for holding a supply of material and at least one spring. The spring makes the housing spring loaded in that the supply of material can be retracted with a press of the button. The supply of material has an adhesive coating on the top surface and at least one revealable adhesive spot or pattern on the bottom surface.

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 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.

The invention relates to an insect trap (10) and more particularly to an insect trap which has been designed to facilitate simple and efficient servicing, maintenance and cleaning. In a first aspect the trap comprises a. a back housing (12); b. a frame (14) swing mounted to said housing; and c. a cover (16) comprising openings (18) allowing insects to enter the trap and the frame supports one or a plurality of lights (22) such that said frame and lights can be moved from a first position where they overlie the back housing, to a second position where they lie clear of the back housing such that an insect catching means (100) which may be fitted over the back housing is readily accessible for replacement during servicing. In another aspect the trap comprises a. a back housing (12); b. a plurality of lights (22); and c. a cover (16) and the trap is adapted for ease of servicing and jet cleaning by the provision of shields (60) each of which sealably protect, from water ingress, a plurality of lights (22) at the positions where they connect to electrical fittings (24). In yet another aspect there is provided an insect capture means (100) with a general capture surface (102) and a separate surface (104) designed to facilitate record keeping.

The modular pest trap assembly of the present application includes a modular relatively planar structure that is configured to be adaptable for different methods and areas of a structure for the capture of pests. The assembly includes a modular structure having a main body with a first face and a second face. The modular structure also includes a corner and a plurality of sides. An adhesive layer extends across a portion of the second face of the modular structure. A detachable film cover lays across the adhesive layer to permit handling without contact of the adhesive layer. Additionally, an attachment member is selectively located adjacent to at least one of the plurality of sides of the modular structure for the purpose of securing the modular structure to a corner structure. Flaps extend inward into the corner structure to extend available adhesive internally to the total void space.
