Filed:

Sep 24, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/670109

Inventors:

Thomas Kollars - Bel Air MD, US
Edwin Masters - Sikeston MO, US
Jacqueline Masters - Sikeston MO, US
Peggy Kollars - Bel Air MD, US

Assignee:

Ticks or Mosquitoes, LLC - Sikeston MO

International Classification:

A01M001/20

US Classification:

043/107000

Abstract:

An insect and/or arthropod trapping device that generates its own attractants of carbon dioxide (CO), and ammonia through the chemical reaction of adding a weakly acidic liquid such as vinegar (acetic acid) to solids such as baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), with the optional addition of urea and/or lactic acid. The liquids are mixed over a period of days onto the solids to generate COin the vicinity of an insect/arthropod trap having glue boards that trap the insects and arthropods when they alight on the glue board. The attractants can be used with devices that utilize various combinations of other insect attractants and traps such as sound, light, scent, visual, electrical, chemical, sticky surfaces, mesh nets, etc., to further attract and trap or kill insects and/or arthropods.

International Classification:

A01M 1/14
A01M 1/02

US Classification:

043114000, 043107000

Abstract:

A disposable insect and/or arthropod trapping device that generates its own attractants of carbon dioxide (CO), lactic acid and/or ammonia through the chemical reaction of adding a weakly acidic liquid such as vinegar (acetic acid) to solids such as baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), with the optional addition or substitution of urea and/or lactic acid. The liquids are mixed over a period of hours or days onto the solids to generate COin the vicinity of an insect/arthropod trap having an insect-debilitating surface that traps the insects and arthropods when they alight on the surface. The container may have a cylindrical shape with an upper and lower chamber with fly paper attached to the container. The fly paper may be secured to the base and/or top portions of the container, or there may be fly paper like appendages to trap insects attracted by emitted gases.
