More Information
Summary:An insect trap with bird guards prevents or deters small animals from becoming stuck to the trap, and includes a pillar mounted between a base member and a cap member. The pillar is located radially inwardly from the outer perimeter of the base and cap members, and has an outer surface having a coating of an adhesive selected for ensnaring target insects. A number of bird guards have end portions attachable to the base member and the cap member, and include a plurality of elongate members extending between the end portions, and are spaced away from the pillar. A spacing member, for example, a crossbeam, connects the elongate members for each guard, and is positioned radially inwardly from the elongate members, and at an intermediate longitudinal position, such that the elongate members will not engage the adhesive surface. The base and cap may further include spike members that extend away from the pillar.
