Insect trap with liquid attractant

Abstract

An insect trap contains a liquid insect attractant which is fully enclosed so that the trap may be shipped without spillage or loss. The trap includes an enclosure which provides a funnel shaped portion terminating in a substantially translucent nipple. The insect trap may be commissioned into service by piercing the nipple thereby creating an inlet into the interior chamber through which insects will be drawn by the liquid attractant. The nipple is formed by a thermal process so that the walls of the inlet are drawn thin creating translucent walls which form a bright spot of light larger than the inlet's opening, thereby making it difficult for trapped insects to find the opening and gain freedom. Except for the terminal portions of the inlet, the enclosure is substantially opaque so that the contents of the insect trap are not visible to the public.
