Fly attractant system with toxicant-treated cords

摘要

Systems, devices, apparatus and methods of attracting and capturing flies with toxicant treated darkened cords and printed or painted strips on sidewalls of housings. The darkened cords and strips black to confuse flies into believing they are cracks and crevices. Flies feed off the insecticide treated strips and are killed over time. At least one black line over a blue background can simulate a harborage to attract flying insects. At least one black line over a sticky surface card can be used. Geometrical housing shapes can include triangular, pentagon, cylindrical, rectangular, square, cube and/or other geometrical shapes. Housings can be tied off to be suspended. Second housings can be suspended beneath a main housing by attaching strips to the lower suspended housing. The housings can also work in an unassembled state where planar type sheets can be mounted on a wall.

主权项

1. A device for attracting and killing flies for use in both an unassembled state and in an assembled state, comprising:
a single substrate planar member having a solid side wall surface with a first color substantially across an exterior face of the surface, the single substrate member includes a first generally rectangular planar member side by side to a second generally rectangular planar member side by side to a third generally rectangular planar member, and a first triangular planar member and a second triangular planar member each positioned on opposite sides of only one of the first and the third generally rectangular planar members, each of the first and the second triangular planar members having spaced apart tabs for allowing the first and the second triangular planar members to be attached to the first and the second and the third generally rectangular planar members in the assembled state; at least one narrow diameter elongated member having a portion directly located on the solid side wall surface, having a contrasting color which contrasts with the first color on the solid side wall surface; and a substance associated with the device for killing or catching flies, wherein the at least one narrow diameter elongated member is capable of replicating a crack shape so as to visually attract the flying insects to the crack shape, wherein the single substrate planar member with the at least one narrow diameter elongated member and the substance is useful as a device for attracting and killing flies in an unassembled flat planar state, and the single substrate planar member with the at least one narrow diameter elongated member and the substance is useful as a device for attracting and killing flies when folded into a triangular shaped housing; at least one cut out in a middle portion of at least one of the triangular members to form a fold out member for allowing the device to be hanged in both the assembled state and the unassembled state, and the device is useful for also attracting and killing flies in the assembled state.
