Abstract: Insect electrocution apparatus comprising a housing defining an outward facing direction and an inward facing direction; an inner electrode disposed within the housing; an array of composite members disposed within the housing and spaced in an outward facing direction with respect to the inner electrode, the composite members each comprising an outward facing insulative member defining a safety guard and fixed thereto an inward facing conductor, defining an outer electrode array, and means for coupling the inner electrode and the outer electrode array across a high voltage source.

Abstract: An ionization device comprising an ionization electrode coupled to a source of high voltage; an insulative housing member disposed in spaced adjacent relationship to the ionization electrode; and a conductor coupled to ground and to the insulative housing member; the insulative housing member and the conductor being arranged for providing a controlled flow of electric charges from the insulative member to ground.
