Abstract:
A light emitting insect trap (10) comprising an insect attracting mechanism, a support framework (20), a suction producing mechanism (40), at least one section of netting (30), a releasable fastening device (38), a plurality of fan guards and a mounting means (70). The insect attracting mechanism is preferably a plurality of light emitting devices (60). Once the insects are attracted to the proximity of the insect trap (10) by the light emitting devices (60) the insects are drawn into the insect trap by the downdraft generated by the suction producing mechanism. The suction producing mechanism is preferably a propeller blade fan. Once the insects are drawn into the insect trap they are collected in a section of netting that is attached to the support framework of the insect trap. The releasable fastening device allows access into the netting so that the collected insects may be disposed.
