ABSTRACT:
A flypaper trap has a clear plastic outer canister formed with a plurality of staggered insect inlet holes. The ends of the canister are closed by two plastic end caps. A hanger is attached to the top end cap for supporting the trap from a structure. In one embodiment, a roll of flypaper material has a plurality of prismatic metal flakes secured to the viscous tackifier material of the flypaper and the roll is uncoiled and extends throughout the canister interior. In a second embodiment, a cardboard tube is wrapped with layers of flypaper having the same prismatic metal flakes thereon. The flypaper layers are separated by a release paper to prevent the viscous tackifier material or coating of adjacent layers from sticking together. The tube is inserted into bosses formed on the inside of the end caps for positioning it within the canister. Upon the exposed flypaper becoming loaded with dead insects, another section of the prismatic flake coated tackifier material is unwrapped from the tube to provide a clean refill for the trap. The prismatic metal flakes reflect various colors which attract insects into the canister where they become stuck on the tackifier material. Any dead insects which fall from the flypaper drop into the bottom end cap for subsequent disposal.
