ABSTRACT:
An electrical motorized fan creates an airstream in a hollow housing to draw insects past a pivotal closure member at one end of the housing into a trap receptacle removably mounted within the housing. The fan is driven by an electric motor powered by a battery mounted within the housing. An electrical switch selectively connects the battery to the motor to energize the fan. The switch is coupled to the pivotal closure member such that movement of the switch between "off" and "on" positions simultaneously causes movement of the closure member between a first position closing the first end of the housing to air flow to a second position opening the first end of the housing to air flow. A mesh screen is mounted within the trap receptacle to trap insects drawn into the receptacle through the first end of the housing. An insecticide dispenser is slidably mounted on the trap receptacle and is selectively alignable with an aperture in the trap receptacle to allow the insecticide to permeate the trap receptacle and kill insects trapped therein.
