ABSTRACT:
An improved trash bag having a sidewall forming a trash-receiving volume, and having an inside surface, an outside surface, and an opening. There is at least one adhesive patch on the inside surface of the trash bag for trapping insects that enter the bag. The adhesive patches preferably extend substantially around the interior of the bag, and are spaced sufficiently from the opening of the bag that when the bag is inserted into a trash container, at least some of the adhesive patches are inside the container. A removable protective cover can be provided on the adhesive patches for protecting the adhesive before the trash bag is used, but which can be removed to expose the adhesive when the trash bag is used. The patches are preferably made to attract insects, for example being of a contrasting color to the inside surface of the bag, having contrasting insect silhouettes, and/or including chemical attractants.
