Abstract
This invention relates to the use of a poisoned substance to kill flying insects and to the isolation of this substance from the surrounding environment. It deals specifically with the use of a device that will attract the insects into an enclosed are that has been coated with a toxin capable of destroying them, and when dead, will allow for the collection of the insects in a sanitary manner. Additionally, the use of this device will enhance the efficacy of a given insecticide by providing the basis for the collection and formation of natural pheromone secreted by the insects.
