Flying insect attraction station

A system for killing flying insects comprising:

• an insect suppression device having a housing comprising a light source for attracting flying insects, said light source positioned at least partially within one or more walls forming the housing, said one or more walls extending from a mounting wall to shroud the light source with the light source being positioned substantially within an area defined by the mounting wall and the one or more housing walls such that the mounting wall and the one or more housing walls forming a partially enclosed area for the light source;
• and
• a substantially planar panel separate from the insect suppression device, the panel being substantially unobstructed and being substantially dark in color and having a reflective portion for providing a facade of an opening;
• the panel in generally close proximity to and being positioned against and substantially parallel to the mounting wall near but unconnected to the insect suppression device to comply with the mounting wall so as to form a part of the mounting wall for flying insects to stage thereon;
• and
• said panel being a color darker than and in contrast to the housing and the mounting wall to which the device and surface are mounted;
• wherein said panel not including a light or heat source;
• wherein the panel and/or the insect suppression device include a pesticide;
• wherein the light source of the insect suppression device is not directed towards the panel;
• and
• wherein the panel in combination with the insect suppression device have a synergistic effect greater than if used alone.

A method for increasing a catch rate of an insect suppression device, comprising:

• placing an insect suppression device at a location, said insect suppression device comprising a housing comprising a light source for attracting flying insects, said light source positioned at least partially within one or more walls forming the housing, said one or more walls extending from a mounting wall to shroud the light source with the light source being positioned substantially within an area defined by the mounting wall and the one or more housing walls such that the mounting wall and housing walls forming a partially enclosed area for the light source;
• taking a substantially planar panel not including a light source and being unobstructed and substantially dark in color and separate from the insect suppression device, said panel including at least a portion being darker than and in contrast with both the insect suppression device and the mounting wall adjacent the device and panel and also being substantially planar;
• using a pesticide with the panel and/or insect suppression device;
• and
• positioning the panel at a location against and substantially parallel to the mounting wall near but unconnected to the insect suppression device so as to form an illusion that the panel is part of the mounting wall and wherein the light source of the insect suppression device is not directed towards the panel.
