A device and a related method for entrapping both flying or crawling insects such as mosquitos, fleas and ants and the like and which is effective in attracting such insects to the device when they become mired in a tacky entrapping composition. The device is constructed so that it can be easily stored when not in use. The device comprises a box-like arrangement having two halves which are hingedly connected to one another and which can be opened to form a pair of trays and expose an insect entrapping composition in each tray. A highly reflective foil surrounds a perimeter of each half or tray and which may be provided with a luminescent paint to attract the insects and a highly reflective peripheral flange surrounding each tray acts as a mirror surrounding the luminescent paint thereby further enhancing the attraction. When contacting the entrapping composition, the insects are thereupon mired in the entrapping composition. In an alternative embodiment, each tray could be provided with an insect repelling composition to repel insects such as ants.
