Apparatus and methods for a flying insect control feeder

Abstract

An apparatus and methods are provided for a flying insect control feeder to control the population of stinging insects in target areas. The feeder comprises an outer shell fastened to a base and an attractant chamber engaged with the base and housed inside the outer shell. Entry openings in the outer shell enable flying insects to enter the feeder. Landing surfaces enable the flying insects to land before walking through the entry openings. The landing surfaces can be coated with a suitable pesticide. The attractant chamber includes a cylindrical sidewall extending from an enclosed end to an open end that engages with the base. The base includes a floor that encloses the interior of the attractant chamber. The floor includes a port that allows an attractant syrup to gravity feed from the attractant chamber to a moat within the base.
