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.

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.

A trap for catching or killing insects is disclosed. The trap includes a back housing, an insect capture or killing mechanism, an insect attracting light source, and a cover. The light source is positioned to direct light inwardly directly onto the insect capture or killing mechanism, by the natural configuration of the LEDs or by guides or baffles that channel the insect attracting light in a direction towards the insect capture or killing mechanism, and the light is precluded from being directed immediately outwardly through the cover.

A biodegradable insect trap is provided which includes a substrate having a first surface, an adhesive applied over at least a portion of the substrate first surface, and an insect attractant. The substrate may be made up of either: (1) a polymeric web is in turn made up of at least 50 weight percent polyhydroxyalkanoates or (2) a paperboard web having a coating layer applied over a least a portion of the paperboard web, wherein the coating layer is made up of at least 50 weight percent polyhydroxyalkanoates. According to the present disclosure, the adhesive is also made up of at least 50 weight percent polyhydroxyalkanoates.

Disclosed is an insect trap, which includes a trap assembly and a trapping box provided with an opening in the upper end thereof, wherein a killing component is arranged in the trapping box; the trapping box is arranged below the trap assembly, and the bottom of the trapping box is connected to the trap assembly; and a space for insects to pass through is maintained between the trap assembly and the upper edge of the trapping box. The insect trap can lure insects moving around the insect trap into the trapping box, and can effectively prevent insects from climbing onto the trap assembly.

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