In one embodiment, an insect control device for attracting and capturing insects includes a base; and a resonator column that is in the form of a hollow tube having an open first end and an open second end. The first end is coupled to the base such that the resonator column stands upright therefrom. The second end is substantially open when the resonator column is coupled to the base. The resonator column is constructed and sized and shaped to resonate as a result of natural movements of insects captured on the resonator column resulting in sounds emanating from the captured insects being amplified by the resonator column which in turn serves to attract additional insects to the resonator column. An internal light source is provided within the interior of the resonator column for attracting insects at night.
An insect control device for attracting and capturing insects comprising:
The insect control device of claim 16, wherein an outer surface of the wrap comprises a non-smooth surface for allowing soft glues to better adhere to the outer surface thereof. The insect control device of claim 17, wherein the non-smooth surface comprises a surface that includes bubbles for allowing soft glues to better adhere to the outer surface.
The insect control device of claim 19, wherein the dark colored vertical stripes are screen printed.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
