  • Patent number: 5634293
    Abstract: An insect and pest disposal apparatus and method which includes a mounting apparatus which is loaded with an adhesive sheet of material which is used to capture and dispose of an insect. The mounting apparatus has a planar face and a aperture or slit penetrating through the face to the back of the apparatus. The adhesive sheet includes a first bisecting fold and a second and third parallel fold above and below the bisecting fold. The sheet is folded to form a gripping plane and a perpendicular adhesive plane. The gripping plane is inserted through the aperture, with the adhesive plane drawn flush against the mounting assembly face. Upon capturing an insect with the exposed adhesive material, the material sheet is pulled back through the assembly aperture, thereby causing the adhesive faces to fold inwards and seal the insect inside for hygienic disposal.
