ABSTRACT:
A clean and simple trap for insects. The apparatus includes an ultraviolet lamp mounted in an intermediate portion of a frame, the lamp being disposed behind a clear lens which is transparent to ultraviolet light. A blower or fan is mounted above the lens and projects a curtain of air across the face of the lens. Removable canisters are supported by canister side supports which are disposed below the lens. The removable canisters have an extremely tacky adhesive on the side facing the blower. The unit may also include a dispenser for an airborne attractant such as an odor attractant or a sex attractant. Insects attracted to the unit are caught in the curtain of air and are thrown against the tacky material on the disposable canister. The adhesive acts to entrap the insects as all an insect has to do is to touch the adhesive with a wing, leg, or any other part of its body to become attached to the adhesive. Upon substantially complete coverage of the tacky material with insects the canister is detached from the unit and a new canister is then attached.
