insect trap and method of attracting / and / or capturing flying insects

摘要

the present invention relates to an insect trap (10) and a method for attracting / and / or capturing flying insects / and / or pests (12). the trap (10) has an inlet opening (14) that continues in an inlet channel (16), in which there is an air flow (18) that applies negative pressure or suction flow to the inlet opening (14) and that leads to an internal compartment (20) of the insect trap (10). furthermore, the trap (10) has a surface that surrounds the entrance channel (16) in the vicinity of the entrance opening (14) and surrounds the entrance channel (16) in the widest area at a variable radial distance. widens in a direction parallel to the direction of the air flow (18) passing through the inlet channel (16) and which is at least partially permeable to air in the outlet flow (24), which forms at least part of an external wall (22) of the insect trap (10). furthermore, a front or bottom side (28) is provided which is adjacent to the external wall (22) and is largely impervious to the air entering or leaving and facing the inlet opening (14), which is at least slightly spaced from a front side (30) of the open entrance channel (16) that reaches the inner compartment (20) of the trap (10).
