  • Patent number: 5209010
    Abstract: An insect killer comprises a transparent bottle with a removable lid. Entryways are formed in the sidewall of the bottle to allow insect ingress while restricting or discouraging egress. A fan is mounted to the lid and draws air into the bottle through apertures formed in the lid and forces the air out the entryways, propagating the scent of the attractant to the surrounding areas. Striking means are coupled to the fan so that insects flying inside the transparent bottle will be hit by the striking means. The insects so struck will fall into the liquid attractant held in the bottom of the transparent bottle, where they ultimately drown or are stunned to death by other insects.
