Abstract

The present invention relates to an insect trap (1; 27) comprising a trap inlet (3) and a trap outlet (4). The insect trap (1; 27) further comprises a fan (5) arranged and configured to create an air flow between the trap inlet (3) and the trap outlet (4). The insect trap (1; 27) comprises also a container (6) arranged along a flow path of the air flow in order to trap insects sucked into the insect trap (1; 27) by underpressure formed at the trap inlet (3). The insect trap (1; 27) further comprises an attractant support arrangement (10) for supporting a (chemical) attractant (21) capable of emitting attractant molecules into air surrounding the attractant (21); and a flow passage (35; 24) between the attractant support arrangement (10) and an attractant discharge outlet (20;34) arranged adjacent to the trap inlet (3), to allow for the underpressure formed at the trap inlet (3) to create an attractant flow through the flow passage from the attractant support arrangement (10) to the attractant discharge outlet (20; 34).

Abstract

An insect trap (5) for catching insects present at a particular geographical location, the insect trap (5) comprising an insect trap body (10); and a support structure (11) mechanically connected to the insect trap body (10) for supporting the insect trap body (10). The insect trap body (10) comprises a trap inlet (6) and a trap outlet (15); a fan (31) arranged and configured to create an air flow between the trap inlet (6) and the trap outlet (15); and a container arranged along a flow path of the air flow in order to trap insects sucked into the insect trap (5) by underpressure formed at the trap inlet (6). The support structure (11) is arranged and configured to allow adjustment of a height of the insect trap body (10) to adapt a height of the trap inlet (6) to a typical flight altitude of the insects present at the particular geographical location. This insect trap (5) provides for an improved capability of catching insects, in particular flying insects such as mosquitoes, at different geographical locations.
