Provided is an absorption promotor for causing a flying-insect pest repellent fragrance-containing composition with a high repellent effect to be rapidly absorbed into an elastomer molded body. The absorption promotor for causing a flying-insect pest repellent fragrance-containing composition into an elastomer molded body having a hardness of 60 degrees or less includes d-limonene and/or 1,8-cineole as an active ingredient. The absorption promotor is blended preferably in a range of 2.0 to 65% by mass and more preferably 10 to 45% by mass in the flying-insect pest repellent fragrance-containing composition.

An insect trap is provided with a bottle or bucket for holding insects and one or more conically-shaped, perforated inserts for insertion into the bottle or bucket. The insert includes holes for permitting light and visibility. The trap and/or trap insert may be made from a plastic or a polymer. Furthermore, insect attracting scents may be injected or impregnated into the plastic or polymer. A chemical exhibiting phosphorescence or photoluminescence may also be combined with the plastic and/or polymer. The bucket embodiment has a snap-on or screw-on lid with a high capacity for catching insects in an indoor or outdoor environment.
