Electronic fly trap apparatus with cover

An electronic fly trap apparatus, comprising:

• a) a housing having a bottom, a first side, a second side, a third side, a fourth side, and a top, with an external lip provided adjacent to one of the sides of the housing;
• b) a cover having a top portion and depending sides sized to substantially cover the top of the housing, said cover includes at least one upwardly curved access aperture positioned above the external lip on the housing, to provide access to flying insects;
• c) an electrical ballast mounted within the housing, the ballast to stabilize the electrical current from a remote electrical source;
• d) an electrical transformer mounted within the housing, the transformer to transform the stabilized electrical current from the ballast into a desired Hertz frequency;
• e) a fluorescent light source located in the housing, the light source in electrical communication with the electrical transformer;
• f) a disposable sheet positioned above the fluorescent light source, the disposable sheet having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough, each aperture sized to restrict passage of a flying insect therethrough, the plurality of apertures positioned on the disposable sheet to allow light and heat from the light source to pass therethrough;
• g) a sticky adhesive disposed upon an upper surface of the disposable sheet;
• h) a peelable protective sheet sized to removably cover the sticky adhesive on the disposable sheet for ease of installation, transport and storage;
• and
• i) a downwardly curved reflective panel positioned within the housing beneath the light source to redirect light from the light source, out through the plurality of apertures in the disposable sheet, into a space provided between the disposable sheet and the cover.

An electronic fly trap apparatus, comprising:

• a) a housing having a bottom, a first side, a second side, a third side and a fourth side, with external lips extending on at least two opposing sides of the sides of the housing adjacent to an open top of the housing;
• b) a translucent cover having a top cover portion and depending side portions sized to substantially cover the open top of the housing, said translucent cover includes at least one upwardly curved access aperture sized to align with the external lips of the housing;
• c) a downwardly curved, light reflective panel positioned within the housing;
• d) an electrical ballast secured beneath the light reflective panel, the ballast to stabilize the electrical current from a remote electrical source of electrical current;
• e) an electrical transformer secured beneath the light reflective panel, the transformer to transform the stabilized electrical current into a desired Hertz frequency;
• f) a fluorescent light source secured above the light reflective panel, the fluorescent light source in electrical communication with the electrical transformer;
• g) a disposable light transmissive sheet removably positioned upon opposing horizontal ledges positioned above the light source, the disposable light transmissive sheet having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough, each aperture sized to restrict passage of a flying insect therethrough, the plurality of apertures positioned on the disposable light transmissive sheet to allow primary patterns of light and heat from the fluorescent light source to pass therethrough, and the disposable light transmissive sheet provides passage of secondary light through the disposable light transmissive sheet;
• h) a light transmissive sticky adhesive disposed upon an upper surface of the disposable light transmissive sheet;
• i) a peelable sheet sized to cover the sticky adhesive on the disposable sheet for ease of installation, transport and storage, and said peelable sheet is removed prior to use in the electronic fly trap apparatus;
• j) a control switch positioned between the remote electrical source and said electrical ballast, and said control switch comprises at least two positions selected from an on position, an off position and a cyclic on and off position;
• wherein primary light from the fluorescent light source passes through the plurality of apertures in the disposable light transmissive sheet, and secondary light from the fluorescent light source passes through the disposable light transmissive sheet and the light transmissive sticky adhesive into a space provided between the cover and the disposable sheet, and diffused primary light and secondary light passes through the translucent cover into the surrounding environment to attract flying insects.
