Abstract: A fly trap configured to contact a window surface includes a frame and a cover. The frame includes a top surface and a bottom surface. A portion of the bottom surface is configured to contact the window surface, and the frame defines an interior and an ingress for permitting flies to enter the interior from a side of the frame. The cover includes an adhesive fly capture surface configured to face the window surface and attach the cover to the top surface of the frame. The cover enclosing the interior at the top surface of the frame.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel red fluorescent sensors for detecting metal ions, preferably zinc ions, which have a chemical structure corresponding to a compound of general formula I. These sensors are very useful for determining the concentration and distribution of zinc in living cells or tissues, preferably in a laser microscopic assay.

Abstract: A window mounted fly trap includes a frame comprising a top surface, a bottom surface disposed on a side of the frame opposite the top surface, and a mount extending from the bottom surface away from the frame. The frame defines an interior and the mount is constructed to detachably mount to a window surface. The trap also includes a cover attached to the top surface of the frame enclosing the interior at the top surface of the frame, the cover comprising an adhesive fly capture surface configured to face the window surface, the frame, cover, and window surface defining therein a fly capture chamber. The trap further includes at least one ingress in the frame for permitting flies to enter the fly capture chamber.

Abstract: This invention relates to fly traps and specifically a window mounted fly trap which allows flies to enter from below or above and which has an internal barrier to prevent passage upward or downward through the trap. A window mounted fly trap comprising: (a) a frame for mounting to a window surface by detachable window mounting means; (b) a resilient cover having a non-adhesive first surface facing to the exterior of the frame and an adhesive second fly capture surface within the interior of the frame; said frame and cover defining therein a fly capture chamber; (c) the capture chamber having at least one ingress slot for permitting flies to enter the chamber; (d) wherein the flies walking on the surface of said window are permitted to enter the capture chamber and whereby the flies, when attempting to fly, contact the fly capture adhesive and are captured by said capture surface.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel method of attracting and trapping Drosophila species and a composition therefor. A method of attracting flies in the family Drosophilidae which comprises preparing an attractant which is a combination of a moistening agent, yeast and dried and powdered vegetable matter host substrate, including (but not limited to) banana, apple, pear, papaya, mango, orange, tomato, or vegetables, including (but not limited to) potato and squash, and placing this attractive lure in a trap.

Abstract: This invention relates to traps for flying insects, and in particular, relates to a self-supporting and re-usable trap for wasps, yellowjackets and flies. A trap for insects comprising a bag having a first generally flat collapsed configuration for storage and a second expanded configuration for operation thereby forming an internal chamber for trapping insects. The bag includes a first side wall and a second opposite the side wall and at least one entry portal for insects, said first circular entry portal penetrating said first side wall and communicating with the chamber. The trap can include a suitable attractant for attracting insects to the entry portal.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel methods and compositions, wherein chopped dried apple or apple pomace can be used as supplementary lures for trapping wasps in the family Vespidae in combination with volatile chemical attractants, including (but not limited to) heptyl butyrate, acetic acid and isobutanol. Said vespid wasps may be in the genera Vespa, Vespula, Dolichovespula or Polistes. When formulated in a porous bag immersed in a water-detergent capture medium at the bottom of the interior chamber of an Oak Stump trap, either chopped dried apple or apple pomace can increase the capture of said vespid wasps several fold.

Abstract: A dust and soot collector surrounds a top portion of a stack or duct. Sprays of water are directed across a path of a gas flow exiting the stack. The water removes particles of dust and soot from the gas. A slush is created which falls into a peripheral trough and is removed.
