Patent ID: 8136290

Claim:
An outdoor flying insect trap device for attracting and exterminating flying insects, the device comprising: a blue light for attracting flying insects; a rotating partial mask surrounding the blue light, the partial mask comprising a light-proof hollow cylinder positioned vertically so that the hollow cylinder surrounds the blue light, the hollow cylinder having at least one opening through a portion of the wall of the cylinder to admit light from the blue light through the at least one opening, the hollow cylinder being continually rotated around the blue light by a motor communicating with the hollow cylinder so that a beam of blue light shines out through the at least one opening to form a three hundred sixty degree scanning beam of blue light through the at least one opening as the hollow cylinder rotates around the blue light; an insect exterminating cage surrounding the blue light and rotating partial mask, the insect exterminating cage charged by an electric current so that when a flying insect attempts to fly through the insect exterminating cage to get to the blue light, the flying insect is killed by the electric current in the insect exterminating cage, thereby forming an outdoor flying insect trap device for attracting and exterminating flying insects.
