ABSTRACT:
A device to attract flying insects and cause their demise by electrocution provides two spaced cylindrical grids that are oppositely charged electrically in such fashion and so spaced that an insect coming in contact therewith or passing therebetween causes an electric discharge between the grids that kills the insect. The device provides a light to aid in attracting insects primarily during hours of darkness and an openable container for olfactory attractants such as food stuffs and pheromones. The attractant container, if opened during use of the device, deactivates the electrical circuitry to avoid operator injury.
