Abstract: An insect trap for trapping insects, such as flies, mosquitoes, beetles, etc. The insect trap includes a hollow housing, an power source, an electric motor, a rotatable fan, a light source, a switch, a closure member or hood attached to the housing opposite the base, and a discharge. Upon actuation of the rotating fan, an air stream flows within and adjacent the housing that reduces the pressure and creates a suction. An insect entrained in the air stream will be carried into the open rotating fan by the surge of air of the stream. Once the insect is drawn into the rotating fan, the insect is immediately killed within the housing. While the fan is actuated, air within the housing is continuously exhausted from the discharge. The air being exhausted through the discharge carries the dead insects within the housing through the discharge for disposal.
