A removable substrate for an insect attractant device includes a body having front and rear faces. The body includes a grip portion with a slot and a lower portion disposed below the grip portion. The lower portion includes a retention aperture, a first lateral portion, and a second lateral, with a gap extending between the first lateral portion and the second lateral portion. An adhesive is applied to the front face and the rear face, the adhesive being positioned between the grip portion and the lower portion, and being surrounded by an adhesive-free border on the front face and the rear face.

A crawling insect detection and protection system includes a curved member for attachment to a surface. The curved member has a coarse textured outer surface and a smooth interior surface, the interior surface includes a grooved upper lip located at a top portion of the curved member and a smooth lower lip located at a bottom portion of the curved member. The width of the grooved upper lip is recessed from the bottom lip to allow a crawling insect to fall into the lower lip portion. The system includes an attachment means which may be an adhesive fastener and/or a mechanical fastener for affixing a mounting surface of the flexible curved member to an attachment surface.

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.

A trap for certain insect pests may be configured to be particularly suitable for bedbugs and take the form of a foldable pitfall bedbug trap. The pitfall trap walls extend vertically upwardly at an angle and are sufficiently rough to permit bedbugs to climb to an upper edge of the trap, whereas the inner surfaces of the pitfall trap walls have been treated with a smooth material, such as being laminated, causing bedbugs at the upper edge to fall upon initiating contact with the inner pitfall walls and their smooth characteristics. The resultant foldable pitfall bedbug trap is relatively inexpensive to produce and easily user-deployable.

The present disclosure relates generally to an arthropod trapping device, more particularly, to a compact and portable trapping device comprising a housing and an insert.

An insect capture device is used to monitor, capture, and/or kill insects. The device has a raised portion to create a gap between a surface and the device to entice insects to pass under. At the raised portion, a glue board includes an adhesive facing the surface. As the insect passes under the raised portion, the insect can unknowingly become attached to the adhesive portion and stuck thereto. To aid in installing the glue board, one or more sections of the glue board can be free of adhesive to connect or fit to a part of the device to hold the glue board in place, while also allowing for easy removal to replace the glue board with a new one, free of captured insects.
