ABSTRACT:
A fly trap comprised of a pair of upper and lower superimposed synthetic plastic trap sections defining an interior fly capturing chamber therebetween. The lower trap section has a centrally located upwardly dished fly collecting pocket with a fly admitting orifice in the dished pocket but disposed in spatial relation to the upper trap section. Fly trap supporting legs are projected beneath the lower trap section permitting flies to move beneath the lower trap section and into the dished fly collecting pocket. A fly bait locating area is located immediately beneath the fly collecting pocket between the legs. Attachment structure is provided at adjacent confronting edges of the upper and lower trap sections which includes resiliently yieldable detents disposed in an annular ring-like configuration securing the sections in assembled relation with one another. The upper trap section has a series of thin flexible vibratable walls each having a thickness in the range of 15 to 35 millimeters and extending above the lower trap section which walls are of such construction and character as to be capable of transmitting fly buzzing noises and vibrations from an interior of the fly capturing chamber to free flying flies disposed in proximity to the trap to attract them to the fly bait locating area.
