  • Patent number: 4366643
    Abstract: An insect trap suited for attracting and killing flying insects includes a fluorescent light for emitting light of frequency for attracting such insects. A fluid reservoir, in the form of a tray, is supported in cross proximity to the light and below it for entrapping and killing the insects, as by drowning, in oil or other fluid contained in the reservoir. The closely spaced relationship between light and reservoir causes insects attracted to the light likely to contact the fluid. A cover of the trap shields the light and tray from the elements and other contamination, as by leaves, dust, etc. A mounting arrangement of universal character effectively suspends the trap from a single point, being configured to allow angular orientation and tilting of the trap to maintain the fluid level within the tray.
