Description

I really hate most insects in my home - this trap gets rid of most of them.

 

The model is parametric: It can be adjusted to fit any (circular) container and target any species of insect. The three parameters are:

  • Diameter: Enter the inner diameter of your container. (mm)
  • Height: Leave as is, unless you have a reason to change it. (mm)
  • Insect Diameter: Enter roughly the size of the insect species you target. For example: 
    • Fruit flies - 3 mm
    • Wasps - 7 mm
    • Hornets - 12 mm

 

Instructions for Bait:

  1. Put a tiny amount of dish detergent in your container.
  2. Put some water in your container.
  3. Put something the insect likes into the container, e.g. fruit juice, apple vinegar, soy sauce.
  4. Put the 3D printed part on top of your container.
  5. Wait for the dumb insects to fall into your trap and drown.
  6. Empty the container and replace the bait as needed.

 

Obviously this trap only works for insect species that like your bait, so adjust as needed.
