Abstract
An insect pest-controlling apparatus () includes a light-reflecting attraction unit () that reflects sunlight and a trap () to trap insects attracted to light reflected by the light-reflecting attraction unit (). The light-reflecting attraction unit () is a reflector whose reflectance of 220 to 390 nm light wavelength components is 5% or less. Because the light-reflecting attraction unit () reflects almost no ultraviolet rays, the contrast of ultraviolet rays is increased in the space compared with sunlight by the insect pest-controlling apparatus () and diurnal agricultural insect pests are strongly attracted to the light-reflecting attraction unit (). Accordingly, diurnal agricultural insect pests can be attracted and trapped in large quantities in the daytime.
