Abstract
A method and a device (10) for trapping insects which feed on mammalian blood, such as mosquitoes, utilize in combination a chemical attractant (24) and a physical attractant consisting of a dark panel (22), heated to e.g., 30 to 45 degrees Celsius. The chemical attractant may include carbon dioxide, generated for example by action of microorganisms on a fermentable substrate in aqueous medium, or it may be selected from fermenting yeast, yeast extract, peptone, acetone, lactic acid and carbon dioxide. The insects may be killed by adhesive applied onto the panel (22).
