Abstract
An apparatus for killing insects, the apparatus including an electrical mechanism for killing insects, an inner shell, the inner shell being surrounded by the electrical mechanism, and a mosquito attracting device within the inner shell. The insect attracting device includes a fan, a heat source, and a source of CO.sub.2. The inner shell has a plurality of openings in the inner shell for ejecting heated air and CO.sub.2 from within the inner shell, the openings being formed by indentations in the surface of the inner shell, each indentation being open at one end so as to form an opening which lies substantially perpendicularly to the extending axis of the inner shell. The insect attracting device further includes a mechanism for closing the source of CO.sub.2 and for stopping the fan when the temperature within the inner shell goes below the temperature. The insect attracting device further includes a moisture source, and an insect attractant. The apparatus for killing insects also includes a mechanism for opening the source of CO.sub.2 and for starting the fan when the temperature within the inner shell reaches a certain temperature.
