Abstract
This invention relates to the control of flying insects in and around homes, commercial establishments, farm buildings and the like. Specifically, the formulation, design and technique involved in the device allows the user to maintain an insect free environment and to dispense an insecticide capable of eliminating flying insects in a safe and effective manner. The use of a translucent shield that contains an insecticide that leeches to the surface through the heat of ambient light, while converting ambient light into a spectrum that attracts flying insects provides an economical method of delivering a killing agent to the insect.
