| 20080229652 | Insect Trap - The embodiments described and claimed herein relate to insect traps. One particular embodiment of the insect trap comprises a housing which holds a insect attracting light source, an insect immobilizing device, and a visible-spectrum light source. The housing at least partially conceals the insect attracting light source, the insect immobilizing device, and the visible-spectrum light source from view and includes a channel into which insects can enter the housing and approach the insect immobilizing device and through which a graduated pattern of insect attracting light can be projected into an area desired to be free from insects. The light pattern emitted from the insect trap includes a diffused light component that is reflected off of a reflective surface and an intense light component that is transmitted through a light conduit. The light conduit captures light from the insect attracting light source from a first end that is in close proximity to the insect attracting light source. A second end of the light conduit is disposed near the opening of the channel and is oriented in such a manner so as to transmit the insect attracting light source into the direction of the area desired to be free from insects. | 09-25-2008 |

The housing corresponding to an air outlet of the fan is configured with a mosquito opening. The present disclosure use the fan fixed in the housing by the screw, which makes the fan firmly fixed in the housing because of the firm fixing of the screw. The screw is convenient to be installable or disassemble, which saves installation time, and is convenient to inspect and maintain when the failure occurs. The mosquitoes are attracted by the light, airflow generated by the fan draws the mosquitoes to the housing, and the mosquitoes are blown the mosquito opening. The fan constantly rotates, which dries the air and dehydrates the mosquitoes, thus killing the mosquito and keeping people far away from mosquito distractions. | 01-28-2016 |
| 20160050900 | Radiating Systems for Affecting Insect Behavior - An insect decoy is provided that includes a vapor-isolated vessel, a chemical compound disposed within the vapor-isolated vessel, and an excitation energy source. The chemical compound may have one or more absorption bands at a set of absorption wavelengths and have one or more emission bands at a set of emission wavelengths. The excitation energy source may be configured to produce electromagnetic radiation at the absorption wavelengths so as to fluoresce the chemical compound and release photons at the emission wavelengths. The vapor-isolated vessel may be configured with at least one infrared transmissive window that is substantially transparent to the released photons at the emission wavelengths of the chemical compound. | 02-25-2016 |
| 20160066556 | Insect Trap - An insect trap for multiple species of pest insects, especially flying insects that are an indoor nuisance. The trap contains at least two parallel, planar, transparent faces, each face configured to polarize transmitted light into a single plane. The faces are oriented such that the light polarization planes are at substantially right angles. When the trap is attached substantially flush to a window, phototactic insects against the window perceive the trap faces as transparent and are thus induced to crawl in to the trap. However, light is prevented from passing through both faces, substantially obscuring the view of trapped insects inside to a casual human observer. | 03-10-2016 |

| 20220132824 | INSECT CAPTURE DEVICE - An insect capture device is provided. The insect capture device has a housing having a cover with a plurality of openings through which insects enter the housing. A light assembly is mounted to the housing and adapted to attract the insects. A bait container is mounted on the housing to hold insect bait. A fan is disposed within the housing oriented to pull insects through the cover and into the housing. A removable tray cooperates with the housing. The tray configured to hold an adhesive pad for capturing insects that entered the housing. | 05-05-2022 |
