A device for destroying insects by mechanical impact comprises a housing provided with a base member; a curved wall; a first segment of the base member being at least partially open and exposed to an area from which flies and other insects are to be attracted, and an aperture provided in the housing through which impacted insects are removed therefrom; a lure for attracting insects associated with the first segment of the base member and a leaf spring having a first extremity which is attached near the centre of curvature of the curved wall, the spring being substantially straight at its second extremity, the second spring extremity being close to the inner surface of the curved wall. The device also includes means for bend-loading the leaf spring and for suddenly releasing the second extremity, thereby causing the leaf spring to traverse the first segment at high velocity and to impact any insects present within the housing segment.
