The invention is a insect trapping device comprising a truncated, tapered hollow body such as a truncated cone or pyramid having a nondrying glue substantially covering its interior surface. The glue has a removable covering that protects it when it is in its package or ready to deploy configuration. It may be placed on a horizontal surface with the large opening facing down or hung in an overhead position with the large opening facing up. The device may be sized for different applications: a large version placed over dung in a field will capture house flies, while a smaller version put on a countertop using overripe fruit as an attractant will capture fruit flies. Various embodiments are presented that allow the embodiment to be folded, stacked, or flattened for storage. The invention traps members of the insecta class (e.g. flies), members of the arachnid class (e.g. spiders) and other arthropods.

The Federal EPA has consistently limited the use of known toxicants (insecticides) to preclude their admixture into paints and coatings by contractors or homeowners for the purpose of repelling or killing insects on the dried or cured coating. The current invention is a method to repel, rather than kill, insects, arachnids, and other arthropods, utilizing materials taken from the EPA's GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) List, obviating onerous Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) regulations and greatly extending the useful life of the insect-repellant materials by binding them into the dried film solids—greatly slowing their evaporation and degradation and creating a timed release of insect repellant material. Furthermore, the current invention utilizes the insect repellant nature of these materials to repel insects from the surrounding area during coating application, thereby eliminating the need for applying insect repellants, such as DEET, to the skin.

The invention described herein is that of novel pesticides for aerial field application with low toxicity and environmental impact. The invention leverages the physical characteristics of hydrocolloids—particularly gums and preferably natural gums—to reduce to practice the sprayable pesticide formulation described herein. The rheological properties of the pesticides allow exit from industrial spray nozzles under pressure and subsequent coalescence of fine droplets into droplets of sufficient size and adhesiveness act as sticky traps for small insects that encounter the droplets on the target foliage. The pesticides are unique in the sense that they do not include environmentally harmful chemicals and are not harmful to ecosystems and life. Rather, the pesticides of the present invention trap target pests such as small soft-bodied insects and arachnids in place such that they become immobilized eventually die.
