Abstract
A device for drawing current from an electric fence to attract and electrocute insects. The device includes a grounded hollow tubular member with apertures in liquid communication with a source of insect lure. A single or double strand of wire is supported by insulators mounted in parallel along said tube. The wires engage said electric fencing such that insects attract to said tube by the aroma of the lure and are electrocuted by contacting the wires and grounded base.
