Insect trap device and method of using

An insect trap comprising:

• a. a trap portion comprising a substantially planar surface and an adhesive disposed on the substantially planar surface;
• and
• b. a base portion directly connected to electrically conductive prongs insertable into an electrical socket, wherein the electrically conductive prongs protrude from a rear surface of the base portion, wherein the base portion is constructed of plastic and comprises:
• i. a circuit board configured to receive power from the electronically conductive prongs,
• ii. a lighting element mounted on a protrusion protruding from the base portion, the lighting element having a plurality of LEDs electrically connected to the circuit board;
• iii. at least one slot extending from a top surface of the base portion towards a bottom surface of the base portion, wherein the slot is configured to removably engage the trap portion and secure the trap portion in place during use, the trap portion removably engages the base portion and is mounted vertically on the base portion in front of the plurality of LEDs is disposed between the at least one slot and the electrically conductive prongs, wherein the plurality of LEDs are aligned vertically in an upward direction away from the base portion.
