In an apparatus for trapping and killing insects using an electric discharge between electrodes to count and/or kill insects or the like, the present invention presents a technology to almost certainly count and/or kill the insects or the like even when the applied voltage is set low. In an insect-trapping/killing apparatus as an embodiment of the invention, when an insect or the like enters the space between an outer electrode and a central electrode, an electric discharge passes through the insect or the like, whereby the insects or the like is killed. After that, the central electrode is rotated in a preset direction to remove the insect or the like downwards by the frictional force. Since the removing mechanism as described above solves the problem of the clogging of the space between electrodes by the insect or the like, the distance between the electrodes can be set as small as the size of the body of the insect or the like, and the applied voltage can be set accordingly low.
