ABSTRACT:
An apparatus which may use non-toxic, non-solid attractant and non-toxic, non-solid material to kill attracted insects. A base is formed as a tapered cylinder with a solid bottom. The attractant is poured onto the bottom. Access holes are formed in the sides of the base above the bottom so that the attractant does not leak out. An insert is fabricated of a truncated hollow cone and an apron to form a trough in which diatomaceous earth may be poured and placed inside the base forming an attractant chamber below the insert and an killing chamber above the insert. A cover encloses the insert inside the base. The insect enters the access hole to drink the attractant, flies up the inside of the hollow cone, enters the killing chamber through tile truncated cone top. Upon contact with the diatamesous earth in the trough, the insect is inflicted with cuts, looses bodily fluids and dies.
