ABSTRACT:
A trap for catching and destroying small flying gnats consists of two main components, namely, top and bottom transparent chambers. The top chamber is removably mounted in a spaced relationship on the bottom chamber. The bottom wall of the top chamber is formed with a large central opening defined by an externally threaded cylindrical sleeve which is engaged within a complementary-shaped internally threaded cylindrical sleeve which surrounds a large central opening formed in the top wall of the bottom chamber. A plurality of small holes are formed in the bottom wall of the top chamber and are spaced about the large central opening. A fermenting liquid which is attractive to gnats is contained in the bottom chamber. The odor of the liquid escapes through the small holes and attracts the gnats which fly into the top chamber through the small holes where they become trapped and subsequently die and fall into the liquid in the bottom chamber. The holes are of a sufficient size to enable the gnats to enter the trap but small enough to restrict their escape therefrom.
