ABSTRACT:
A compact insect trapping appliance uses an efficient ultraviolet light mounted from underneath a protective dome to both attract insects and to enable the user to position the appliance to selectively direct the ultraviolet light in a desired direction, away from a line of sight of people near the appliance. The inner walls of the upper, partially open chamber carries a low voltage grid array for deleteriously affecting and disabling insects which alight on the inner walls of the upper chamber. This low voltage grid array produces a low voltage current, and acts fairly slowly and silently to disorient and disable the insect as it makes contact. Once the insect gets becomes sufficiently disabled, it will likely fall directly into, or by its own movements, slide into an entry hole of an conical surface and through a narrow neck of a sound suppression chamber within the appliance. A lower unit at the bottom of this sound suppression chamber, which may be configured in conjunction with a lower drawer, supplies an additional measure of energy to insure that the insect is dead. This lower unit may employ a combination of electrical current, electromagnetic energy, intermittent energy and heat.
