Title: Bug Fan

Description:
BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION 
     This device is intended to capture and kill nuisance insects. 
     The device is a fan, similar to a typical rotary desk fan, but with the motor running in reverse to create inward airflow. An insect screen lines the rear of the blade housing and a hinged door is located at the bottom of the housing. A small cup is mounted to the front of the fan to hold insect attractant. 
     When the insect approaches the attractant, it is drawn into the inward airflow and into the fan housing. Because the rear of the housing is lined with fine mesh screening, the insect cannot escape and will eventually die of dehydration. The hinged door at the bottom of the housing allows convenient removal of accumulated dead insects.
