APPARATUS FOR ELECTRICALLY EXTERMINATING INSECTS

摘要

An apparatus for electrically exterminating insects comprises first and second perforated electrically conductive elements supported in a mutually spaced relationship by insulators which are in turn supported on opposed top and bottom walls. A perforated side wall extends between the top and bottom walls and cooperates therewith to form a protective housing enclosing the first and second conductive elements. The top wall has an access opening therein leading to an interior chamber surrounded by the first conductive element. A carrier having at least one fluorescent light source mounted thereon is detachably mounted on the top wall with the light source protruding through the access opening into the aforesaid interior chamber. The light source and the first and second electrically conductive elements are connected to an electrical power cord by electrical components mounted on both the carrier and the top wall. A protective cover is detachably mounted in an operative position overlying the aforesaid electrical components.
