Insect trap device and method of using

An insect trap, comprising:

• a removable trap portion including a protrusion, a front housing comprising a convex outward-facing surface and a concave inner-facing surface, an adhesive surface and a first opening, wherein the adhesive surface engages a bottom portion of the front housing and extends from the bottom portion to a top portion of the front housing, wherein the adhesive surface is configured to adhere to an insect;
• and
• a base portion comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a rear surface, a front surface, and a lighting element, wherein the lighting element is configured to provide light to the trap portion, wherein electrically conductive prongs protrude from the rear surface in a direction extending away from the concave inner-facing surface of the front housing;
• wherein the base portion comprises a slot extending from the top surface towards the bottom surface, wherein the slot receives and releasably holds the protrusion such that the slot substantially surrounds the protrusion, thereby allowing the trap portion to engage and disengage with the base portion and receive light from the base portion onto the concave inner-facing surface of the front housing when engaged therewith;
• wherein the lighting element is positioned between the electrically conductive prongs and the slot;
• wherein the adhesive surface comprises an adhesive material comprising a styrene block copolymer.
