AN IMPROVED (10) TRAP FOR CATCHING INSECTS THAT COMBINES THE USE OF ATTRACTANT LIGHT AND A STICKY SURFACE TO TRAP THE INSECTS IS PROVIDED. THE TRAP (10) INCLUDES A BASE (20), A DARK COLORED INSECT TRAPPING INSERT (30), A SCREEN (40), A LIGHT SOURCE, AND A COVER HOUSING (50). THE INSECT TRAPPING INSERT (30) IS SECURED TO THE BASE (20) AND HAS A STICKY SUBSTANCE DEPOSITED ON ITS EXPOSED SURFACES. THE SCREEN (40) IS ARRANGED ABOVE THE INSECT TRAPPING INSERT (30) IN THE INSECT TRAP (10) IN ORDER TO CONCEAL AT LEAST A PORTION OF THEINSECT TRAPPING INSERT (30). THIS SERVES TO LIMIT THE EXTENT WHICH TRAPPED INSECTS ARE VISIBLE TO INDIVIDUALS WHO PASS BY THE INSECT TRAP (10). THE LIGHT SOURCE, WITH TYPICALLLY COMPRISES AN ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT EMITTING FLUORECENT TUBE, IS POSITIONED ABOVE THE SCREEN (40) AND SERVES TO ATTRACT INSECTS. THE BASE (20), INSECT TRAPPING INSERT (30), SCREEN (40) AND LIGHT SOURCE ARE COVERED WITH THE COVER HOUSING (50). THE COVER HOUSING (50) IS FORMED FROM A CLEAR, TRANSLUCENT OR OPAQUE PLASTIC AND HAS A ROUGHENED INSIDE SURFACE WHICH SERVES TO INCREASE THE OUTPUT OF ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT FROM THE INSECT TRAP (10).FIG. 1
