    Abstract: An insect-trapping condensing system is disclosed herein. The system comprises: a housing defining an interior space; an acoustic wave generator for generating acoustic soundwaves; a baffle located within the interior space and having channels formed in the baffle for distributing the soundwaves; and a condensing unit within the interior space for condensing a refrigerant and having a fin structure for trapping insects. The system condensing unit receives the soundwaves generated by the wave generator and distributed by the channels in the baffle. The wave generator mimics the heartbeat rate range for people and therefore can act as a sonic insect attractant by simulating the human heart. In general, the invention utilizes condensing functionality to provide an insect-trapping system, thereby providing a solution to a previously unfilled need.
