Abstract
An insect trap is disclosed which comprises a base mounted to a wall or other suitable surface. An insect attractant light source is operatively connected inside the base. A reflector is suitably positioned adjacent the wall such that the light from the light source is at least partially transmitted onto the reflector and then reflected away from the wall. The trap also includes an insect immobilizer, such as a semi-rigid adhesive board on which to trap the insects. Additionally, the trap may include an insect attractant, such as scents, pheromones or visual clues.
