Abstract: Animal repellent products may include a substrate in a physical form being one of: a ribbon, a string, a rope, a wire, individual sheets, tiles or any appropriate material. The substrate is pre-coated with a granular repellent substance. A first layer of non-drying temperature sensitive adhesive is coated over an entire or partial exposed surface of the substrate; wherein the non-drying temperature sensitive adhesive retains its adhesive characteristics without fully drying for an indefinite time period after prolonged exposure to sunlight and water in an outdoor environment. A second layer of granular repellent is coated over the first layer of non-drying temperature sensitive adhesive, wherein the granular repellent substance retains its chemical and physical characteristics for an indefinite time period after prolonged exposure to the sunlight and water in the outdoor environment, by giving off a repulsive scent to approaching animals and the granular repellent substance is water insoluble.

Abstract: A one-piece molded resilient closure includes opposed legs joined by a hinge so that the legs may be folded over on themselves. One leg carries a male locking member and the other a socket for releasable engagement therewith. One or both legs terminate in outer finger-engaging ends and the leg having the socket also has a pressure pad for engagement with a thumb or finger to facilitate flexing of its outer end to engage or disengage the socket with the male locking member.

Abstract: An insect trapping device for mounting on a horizontal surface includes an elongate, flexible body having first and second surfaces and a quantity of insect attracting adhesive disposed on the first surface thereof. Attachment members in the form in the preferred embodiment of pressure-sensitive adhesive pads are secured to the opposed ends and a layer of release material is superimposed over the first surface and over the pressure-sensitive adhesive and the insect attracting adhesive. When in use, the device is flexed so that the opposed ends are brought into juxtaposition with each other and whereby the pressure-sensitive adhesive on the one end may attach to the support surface and on the other end may attach to the second surface of the body so as to mount the device in vertically projecting relationship with respect to the support surface.

Abstract: An insect trapping device for mounting on a support surface, such as a window, includes an elongate, substantially flat body divided into first, second and third sections which can be folded so that the first section, which carries a surface adhering element such as pressure sensitive adhesive, can be secured to the window with the second section projecting normally to the plane of the window and carrying a quantity of insect trapping adhesive and with the third section projecting upwardly from the second section so as to screen off the second section and any insects trapped therein.

Abstract: An insect trapping band comprises an elongate strip of flexible material having a generally centrally located longitudinally extending reduced thickness area or groove in one surface thereof. A quantity of insect trapping adhesives is deposited in the groove or recessed area and the band may be secured to the trunk of a tree, for example, with the adhesive facing outwardly. A first modified form of the invention provides a second layer of non-toxic adhesive to the opposed surface of the strip to facilitate attachment to the supporting surface. A second modified form of the invention provides a layer of release material on the surface having the groove and a second layer of non-toxic adhesive on the opposed surface.
