Abstract: An insect trap comprising upper and lower sheet member portions in opposed relation, the inner face of the upper sheet member portion having an adhesive material affixed thereto and the inner face surface of the lower sheet portion having a low coefficient of friction. The upper and lower sheet member portions are maintained in predetermined, spaced relation, and this spacing is either uniform throughout the trap or is of gradual decreasing distance from one portion of the trap to another. As insects crawl between the sheet member portions, they are trapped by engagement of their backs with the adhesive secured to the upper sheet member portion.
