ABSTRACT:
An insect trap is made by cutting and folding blanks of a pliable material. The insect trap is comprised of two pieces: a multifaceted, hollow chamber and a tubular inlet. The chamber is made from a blank of cardboard having tabs and slits which can be folded and the tabs inserted into the slits to form, in a preferred embodiment, a frustum of a hollow, pyramid having a port at a truncated apex. The port is open to the hollow interior. The tubular inlet is made from a blank cut from paper having an adhesive side and folded in a revolute manner to form a shape of a frustum of a tubular pyramid that has a plurality of tongues extending outward from an open base of the pyramid. The insect trap is assembled by inserting the inlet into the port of the multifaceted chamber and pressing the adhesive side of the tongues down against the facets of the chamber thereby joining the facets together. A attractant inside the chamber lures the insects through the inlet into the hollow interior of the chamber wherein they become trapped.
