ABSTRACT:
A housing (20) fits over a night light (11) and attaches to the night light (11) through a slot (22) which is formed in the housing (20). The slot (22) fits around an indentation (19) in the outer portion of the socket (17) of a night light (11) which normally holds the cover over the night light (11). The housing (20) has a window opening (24) through which light from the night light (11) emanates. A transparent cover (26) is placed over the window (24). A receptacle (28) is attached to the housing (20) below the window cover (26). The receptacle (26) holds a substance (30) to which insects adhere. When insects are attracted to the light from the night light (11) they jump into or fly into the window cover (26) of the window (24). They then become stunned and fall into the receptacle (28) where they become trapped in the substance (30) in the receptacle.
