The device includes a body, within which is disposed heat generating means, and a surrounding porous sleeve which contains a charge of water and which carries a sticky substance on its outer surface. Upon activation of the unit, both heat and moisture are radiated to the surrounding environment, and the mosquitos and other insects which are thereby attracted to the device will adhere to the sticky substance and eventually be destroyed.
