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.

A method of impregnating a polymer composition with an active compound or composition using liquid carbon dioxide, in order for the active compound or composition to be later released from the polymer composition gradually over a period of time. The polymer composition may comprise polybutylene succinate and pores and/or cavities into which the active compound or composition can be introduced by the method. The method involves exposing the polymer composition to carbon dioxide and the active compound or composition under increased pressure. The polymer composition may be used to form an article for use in repelling or attracting insects, for example wearable insect repellent articles or lures for insect traps. Polymer compositions suitable for use in the method, and articles comprising said polymer compositions and active compounds or compositions are also described. A method of attracting or repelling insects is also described.
