Abstract
A lure container for holding a scented lure in an insect trap includes a basket formed by spaced apart webs defining a volume of space for enclosing the lure. The volume is a truncated conical section and the basket has a wide opening at one end of the section. Attached to a top peripheral edge of the basket is a lid that is hinged along one section of the edge. The opposite edge has a tab that extends outwardly for mounting the basket in the trap. The basket and lid are both formed by spaced apart webs and ends of the webs of the lid extend into space in the webs of the basket, to block the opening and confine the lure. The lure container or basket is placed in the housing of an insect trap wherein the basket is spaced away from all of the interior walls of the trap by the tab extending from the peripheral edge of the basket.
