DELIVERY SYSTEM EMBEDDED TRAP DEVICE FOR ATTRACTING FEMALE AND MALE FRUIT FLIES

1 . A Delivery System Embedded Trap Device ( 1 ) for attracting female and male fruit flies, the device comprising:

i. a Lure Reservoir ( 2 ) for holding lure or attractant formulation in fluid form or semi fluid form;

ii. a Control Release Knob ( 3 ) connected to the lure reservoir ( 2 ) for releasing required amount of lure or attractant at any point of time, and provided with a mechanism for adjusting the release rate of lure or attractant;

iii. a Connector or Spacing Adjustor ( 4 ) provided below the lure reservoir ( 2 );

iv. a Circular-Pyramid ( 5 );

v. a Sphere Shaped Insect Attractant ( 6 ) connected to the reservoir via the Circular-pyramid ( 5 );

vi. a Top Cover ( 7 ) provided for covering the adjustor, circular-pyramid, and protects the sphere shaped insect attractant, from adverse weather conditions such as wind, sun light and rain; and

vii. a Bottom Cover ( 8 ) connected below the top cover ( 7 ) by means of a screw arrangement;

wherein, the circular-pyramid ( 5 ) is provided between the adjustor ( 4 ) and sphere shaped Attractant ( 6 ); and is placed at 180 degree under the release knob; and the pyramid is provided for letting the released fluid spread evenly on all side of the sphere attractant; and

Wherein, the bottom cover is removed for discarding the trapped, collected and dead flies/insects; and bottom cover is provided with openings ( 9 ) on each side for allowing the entry of insects/flies in to the trap device;

2 . The delivery system embedded trap device according to claim 1 , wherein the adjustor provides delayed release of the lure fluid from the reservoir, by adjusting the gap maintained between the sphere and the reservoir, thereby modifying the time of flow of fluid lure.

3 . The delivery system embedded trap device according to claim 1 , wherein the sphere-shaped insect attractant provides a large surface area for the attractant/lure to spread over, and delaying the exhaust of the lure.

4 . The delivery system embedded trap device according to claim 1 , wherein the sphere shaped insect attractant is made of deep yellow color for visually attracting insects/flies.

5 . The delivery system embedded trap device according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom cover is made of deep yellow color, for visually attracting the flies to enter through the openings ( 9 ) of the bottom cover.

6 . A Method for attracting and trapping of insects or flies using the delivery system embedded trap device ( 1 ) comprising steps of:

i. placing formulation in the lure reservoir ( 2 );

ii. adjusting the control release knob ( 3 ) for releasing required amount of lure in to Sphere-Shaped Insect Attractant ( 6 ) via Connector or Spacing Adjustor ( 4 ), which delays the time of flow of fluid lure and Circular-Pyramid ( 5 ) which spreads the lure across the surface area of the Sphere-Shaped Insect Attractant; wherein the sphere-shaped insect attractant is protected with a top cover ( 7 ); and a removable bottom cover ( 8 ) with two openings ( 9 ) attached to the top cover;

iii. visually attracting insects/flies towards the deep yellow colored Sphere-Shaped Insect Attractant; wherein the insect/flies enter the bottom cover through the opening and get trapped in the lure formulation of the sphere; and

iv. collecting the trapped dead insects/flies by removing the bottom cover.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein the sphere-shaped insect attractant provides a large surface area for the attractant/lure to spread over, and delaying the exhaust of the lure.

8 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein the sphere shaped insect attractant is made of deep yellow color for visually attracting insects/flies.
