An insect and / or arthropod trapping device that generates its own attractants of carbon dioxide (CO2), and ammonia through the chemical reaction of adding a weakly acidic liquid such as vinegar (acetic acid) to solids such as baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), with the optional addition of urea and / or lactic acid. The liquids are mixed over a period of days onto the solids to generate CO2 in the vicinity of an insect / arthropod trap having glue boards that trap the insects and arthropods when they alight on the glue board. The attractants can be used with devices that utilize various combinations of other insect attractants and traps such as sound, light, scent, visual, electrical, chemical, sticky surfaces, mesh nets, etc., to further attract and trap or kill insects and / or arthropods.

An intermittent insect trap, working time of which proceeds by alternating periods, and embodies two primary operations including actuation of ultrasonic waves to excite an attractant and form a mist and formation of a backpressure airflow, thereby ensuring that concentration of the mist is not disturbed and thus reduced by external forces during the course of vaporization, and thus preventing dilution of the attractant. Moreover, intermittent operation of a motor results in substantial savings in power. The insect trap primarily uses a mist excitation device to excite and disperse an insect attractant as attractant particles that suspend in the air and diffuse. After achieving a predetermined diffusion concentration, operation switches over to actuate a backpressure device, which pressures lured insects into a receiving chamber through a valve. The alternating working times and mechanical ensnaring of insects provide the insect trap with effective inducement and power saving features.
