Patent ID: 6928769

Claim:
In combination, a vibration generator and a disposable insect control member, comprising: a vibration generator having a source of vibration and an output surface radiating sound waves from the source of vibration; a plastic substrate having a thickness and a flexural modulus, the thickness being within a range of thicknesses bounded at the upper end to 10 mil, the substrate including a front surface which defines a central insect-interactive zone, one of the thickness and the flexural modulus being defined by the other so as to satisfy a prescribed criterion and to radiate sound waves at a prescribed frequency that mimics the heartbeat of an animal to thereby lure insects into proximity with the substrate; wherein the substrate is foldable between a stowed position and a usable position; an insect-interactive material supported within the insect-interactive zone; and fastening means for maintaining the disposable insect control member in the usable position suitable for seating snuggly about at least a portion of the output surface of the vibration generator.
