RESONATING TRAP FOR CATCHING INSECTS

摘要

In one embodiment, an insect control device for attracting and capturing insects includes a base; and a resonator column that is in the form of a hollow tube having an open first end and an open second end. The first end is coupled to the base such that the resonator column stands upright therefrom. The second end is substantially open when the resonator column is coupled to the base. The resonator column is constructed and sized and shaped to resonate as a result of natural movements of insects captured on the resonator column resulting in sounds emanating from the captured insects being amplified by the resonator column which in turn serves to attract additional insects to the resonator column. An internal light source is provided within the interior of the resonator column for attracting insects at night.

1. An insect control device for attracting and capturing insects comprising:
a base; and a resonator column being in the form of a hollow tube having an open first end and an open second end, the first end being coupled to the base such that the resonator column stands upright therefrom, the second end being substantially open when the resonator column is coupled to the base, wherein the resonator column is constructed and sized and shaped to resonate as a result of natural movements of insects captured on the resonator column resulting in sounds emanating from the captured insects being amplified by the resonator column which in turn serves to attract additional insects to the resonator column; and a light source disposed within the resonator column, wherein the resonator column is formed of a light transmissive material to allow light from the light source to pass therethrough for attracting the insects in nighttime conditions.
