20080196296 | Fruit-Shaped Fruit Fly Trap - A fruit fly trap whose exterior shape represents a piece of fruit such as an apple, orange, banana or the like. The trap housing includes a bottom base portion and a top cover portion. The cover contains various holes through which fruit flies can gain access to the interior of the trap. The trap also includes a locking mechanism for securing the base and cover together. Located inside the trap is a natural product attractant stored within the interior of the trap. The construction of the trap is such that the liquid or powder attractant is retained inside the trap so it will not spill out. Also, a disabling adhesive is located on a glueboard insert and/or on the interior walls of the trap. Thus, when fruit flies enter the trap they will get caught in the adhesive or simply die because they cannot escape. | 08-21-2008 |

The porous sheet of material is farametis and contains apertures that are small enough to prevent an adult mosquito from passing through it but yet allow evaporation of water placed into the container and water molecules through the apertures. A sticky substance is placed on the outer surface of the porous sheet. Water is evaporated from the container and water molecules are released through the apertures into the atmosphere above the porous sheet. Gestating mosquito's are attracted to the device and attempt to enter the container to lay there eggs in the water within the container but can not. Instead, the mosquitoes are immobilized on the surface of the porous material when retained by contact with a sticky substance and prevent it from laying eggs in the container or any other body of water. This breaks the reproductive cycle of the mosquito. | 10-22-2009 |

20150068105 | BED BUG TRAP - A bed bug trap includes heat, carbon dioxide and/or semiochemicals (pheromones and/or kairomones), to attract and trap bed bugs. The trap may be combined with the appearance and/or function of another appliance, such as an air freshener. The release of semiochemicals may be combined with the release of air freshening compositions. The device preferably is powered, but not necessarily. The bed bug trap may provide one attraction mode, or two attraction modes, namely one which uses heat, carbon dioxide and/or kairomones to attact bed bugs seeking a meal, and the other which uses pheromones to attract bed bugs seeking a safe harbor, i.e. a hiding place. The two different modes may operating simultaneously in different areas, or the trap may be switchable between modes, for example via a timer, or in response to some trigger such as a light sensor. Alternatively, one mode may operate continuously, for example the mode in which bed bugs are attracted to a harboring location, while the other mode, for example the mode in which bed bugs are attracted to a feeding location, may be operated only intermittently. The bed bug trap may be combined with a wide variety of appliances, such as air fresheners, alarm clocks, clock radios, humidifiers, desk or table lamps, power bars, etc. | 03-12-2015 |

20150289496 | Ground trap for eastern cicada killer wasp - The present invention relates to a ground trap for catching the female eastern cicada killer wasp as the wasp is flying out of a burrow, wherein the ground trap includes a generally rectangular body and a generally square top section; the top section including a transparent window to allow light into the inside of the trap body; wherein the bottom of the trap is left open so that the flying insect can pass from the burrow directly into the trap; the bottom of the trap being beveled such that the trap is leaning to one side at an angle of about 45 degrees with respect to the ground, thus allowing the insect to more readily attach to glue-coated sidewalls of the trap. | 10-15-2015 |
20150373965 | PEST ENTRAPMENT DEVICE AND METHOD - The invention is directed at to a pest entrapment device for attracting and trapping flying pests around the head of a person. The apparatus includes an attachable device having at least one member, which member contains at least one cavity to hold a pest attractant. The attachable device is affixed to a head covering on the underside of a bill, brim, visor or the like. The pest attractant can be of a combination of grease, carbon dioxide, sweetener, and a sticky, viscid matter. The pest attractant also acts as a trapping substance to capture the flying insects. The pest entrapment device can be removed for cleaning and reapplication of the pest attractant. | 12-31-2015 |
20160066555 | Modular insect trap - The invention relates to a trap for collecting arthropods, for example ticks. The device comprises an attractant placed over an adhesive surface with the adhesive facing down or at an angle to prevent debris from inadvertently collecting. The arthropods, attracted to the device by the attractant then adhere to the adhesive surface on their dorsal side. The invention also relates to a method of using the device to collect insects by placing one or more of the devices in a desired collection area and collecting insects over a period of time without the need for constant monitoring of the devices. | 03-10-2016 |
20160088827 | INSECT AND TICK BARRIER AND METHOD THEREOF - A wearable barrier against ticks including a section of material, the section of material being flexible so that the section of material can be manipulated to snugly fit around a limb of a user, wherein the section of material is a flat strip or band of material, the section of material including: a first layer, the first layer directly contacting at least one the user's skin, an article of clothing worn by the user, or a combination thereof, and a second layer, the second layer being an adhesive layer disposed on an outer surface of the first layer, wherein the adhesive layer extends completely around the limb of the user to extend a barrier against a tick, such that the tick is trapped on the adhesive layer when the tick comes into direct contact with the adhesive layer, is provided. Furthermore, an associated method is also provided. | 03-31-2016 |
20160106087 | VERTICALLY COLLAPSIBLE OR HORIZONTALLY COLLAPSIBLE COCKROACH TRAP - This present invention relates to the technical field of a cockroach trap, and provides a vertically collapsible or horizontally collapsible cockroach trap, which includes an upper trap body and a lower trap body that are vertically extensible and retractable and interconnected to each other, where an inner cavity is formed between the upper trap body and the lower trap body, an adhesive sheet used to bond cockroaches, a cockroach attractant, and an anti-adhesion structure used to prevent bonding between the adhesive sheet and an inner wall of the inner cavity are disposed in the inner cavity, and an entrance available for cockroaches to enter the inner cavity is disposed on the upper trap body or the lower trap body. The anti-adhesion structure is applied to the vertically collapsible or horizontally collapsible cockroach trap, which avoids that the upper trap body and the lower trap body are hardly vertically extensible and retractable due to bonding of the adhesive sheet. During use, by vertically extending the upper trap body and the lower trap body, the inner cavity is expanded, and the entrance is opened, and cockroaches are tempted to enter the inner cavity and are then bonded by the adhesive sheet, which avoids a problem that a hand may touch the adhesive sheet and the cockroach attractant during use, which is very unsanitary, and avoids a problem that a cardboard needs to be folded manually into a cockroach trap, which is time-consuming and troublesome. | 04-21-2016 |
