Abstract: A liner system and method for installing the liner. The liner is composed of a synthetic material (HDPE or LLDPC). The liner has a base and walls and an undersurface.  The undersurface includes integral therewith a plurality of discrete and independent radially disposed in spaced relation stabilizing members. The stabilizing members are exposed when the walls of the liner are positioned in a substantially vertical orientation relative to the base. This exposes the stabilizing members. The container may then be positioned in segments on top of the stabilizing members with the walls of the liner adjacent a wall of the container. In this manner, the container structure is fabricated about the liner. The advantages in this system relate to the maintenance of tension of the liner and the avoidance of having to position a large disc like structure over the top and within a cylindrical receptacle or container. Conveniently, the container can be assembled about a liner expeditiously and at a fraction of the cost typically encountered with existing arrangements.

Abstract: Systems, devices, apparatus and methods of attracting and capturing fly type insects with toxicant treated darkened stripes such as toxicant treated cords and strips such as printed or painted attached to sidewall surface(s) of housings. The darkened cords and strips can be natural cord fibers, such as but not limited to black wool yarn strips soaked with insecticide baits, so as to confuse flies into believing the strip(s) are cracks and crevices across the sidewall surfaces. The attracted flies feed off the insecticide treated strips and are killed at that location over time.  Embodiments can include at least one black line over a blue background to simulate a harborage to attract flying insects. An embodiment can include at least one black line over a sticky surface card for use in light traps. Embodiments can include geometrical housing shapes that can be triangular, pentagon, cylindrical, rectangular, square, cube and/or other geometrical shapes. The top and bottom or just the top of the housings can be tied off to allow for the embodiments to be suspended.
