An insect trap ( 100 ) with spaced apart first and second entry structures ( 120, 140 ), includes an entrapment chamber ( 100 ) having a first compartment ( 102 ) and a second compartment ( 104 ) separated from the first compartment with a transverse panel ( 106 ). A conical first tapered guide ( 126 ) extends from the first entry structure into the first compartment, and a second tapered guide ( 146 ) extends from the second entry structure to the second compartment. The guides encourage the target insects to venture further into the trap, while hindering egress from the trap. One or more of the compartments include means for retaining an attractant. Traps having more than two compartments with spaced apart entryways are also disclosed. |
