Abstract
A removable substrate for an insect attractant device includes a body having front and rear faces, a grip portion, and a base disposed opposite the grip portion. The removable substrate further includes a first lateral portion extending from the base, and a second lateral portion extending from the base. A projection extends outwardly from the base, lowermost ends of the first and second lateral portions are disposed below the projection, and an adhesive is applied to the front face and the rear face.
Claims19
A method of providing an insect attractant system, the method comprising:
- providing a base, the base defining a planar slot positioned between a lens and a power source, the base further including a rear face;
- and
- providing a planar substrate having a lower portion, a grip portion positioned opposite the lower portion, and a central portion positioned between the lower portion and the grip portion, the lower portion being configured to be received into the planar slot, wherein the lower portion includes a first lateral portion and a second lateral portion, the first and second lateral portions being configured to straddle the base when the lower portion of the planar substrate is received into the planar slot, wherein an adhesive is applied to the central portion,
- wherein the substrate is spaced apart from the lens defining a first distance therebetween,
- wherein the substrate is spaced apart from the rear face defining a second distance therebetween,
- wherein the first distance is between about 5 mm and about 50 mm and the second distance is between about 5 mm and 50 mm.
A removable substrate for an insect attractant device, comprising:
- a body having front and rear faces, the body further including:
- a grip portion;
- and
- a lower portion disposed below the grip portion, the lower portion including a first lateral portion having a first external lateral edge and a first internal lateral edge, and a second lateral portion having a second external lateral edge and a second internal lateral edge,
- wherein a distance between the first internal lateral edge and the first external lateral edge defines a distance D3,
- wherein a distance between the second internal lateral edge and the second external lateral edge defines a distance D4,
- wherein a gap extends between the first internal lateral edge and the second internal lateral edge, wherein the gap defines a distance D5,
- wherein the distance D5 is greater than the distance D3 and the distance D4,
- wherein the first external lateral edge and the second external lateral edge comprise outer edges of the body,
- wherein an adhesive is applied to the front face and the rear face, the adhesive being positioned between the grip portion and the lower portion.
