  • Publication number: 20060283076
    Abstract: An insect trap is provided that is constructed of a precut sheet of foldable material. The sheet includes vent slots and adhesive layers over selected solid exterior areas. One or more base score lines extend across the mid-portion of the sheet to divide the sheet into first and second side walls. A flap score line extends across the upper sheet width to define a flap section and lateral score lines extend along the longitudinal extent of the sheet inward from the sheet opposing lateral edges, to define end wall parts. The trap is assembled by folding inwardly the end wall parts and rotating together the first and second side walls about the base score lines. The side walls are held together by rotating the flap section about the flap score line and securing it to corresponding upper portions of the adhesive layers.

  • Patent number: 6532695
    Abstract: The insect trap has a top and bottom that, when connected, form a chamber for luring and containing insects. The main entry for insects is located on the bottom of the insect trap. The insect trap has a plurality of lure support structures that will accommodate many different varieties of lure, to include projections for holding card lures, an annulus for holding a cylinder or vial, either of which contain lure, and a chamber with an adjustable plug that may hold lure or may be used as a vent to control air flow, or may serve as a second access for insect entry. The insect trap has an overall cylindrical shape, with side walls that will easily accommodate an adherent type lure. The flat sides of the insect trap enable a user to more easily examine the contents of the trap without disturbing or directly contacting the contents. The insect trap has a set of legs and a device for suspension, allowing the insect trap to be used either hanging or on a surface.
