ABSTRACT:
Several embodiments of disposable crawling insect traps are disclosed, each of which is made of moderately flexible pasteboard or other inexpensive material, formed in an elongated, narrow, slim, flat continuous strip, and sized to easily lay or be releasably secured across or adjacent to a room's thresholds, window sills, exhaust grills, ducts, corridors, stairs, cabinet bases, and other points of entry or exit by crawling insects. The traps contain an interior surface partially covered with a tacky glue-like substance for ensnarling the insects, or, alternatively, that surface may contain insect poison. In several embodiments, a "roof" layer of thin material is supported over the interior layer of glue or poison, so as to provide ease in handling and an attractive (to insects), narrow, elongated slit running along one long edge or side of the strip. In several embodiments, marginal portions of the base are bent backward at a small angle to the internal "floor" of the strip, so as to both protect the human user from hand contact with the glue or poison and also to aid in entrapping the insect in the trap.
