This disclosure involves a method of chemically generating carbon dioxide for use as an insect attractant used in combination with an insect trap, and a generating unit adoptable for use with existing insect traps. Carbon dioxide is generated by reacting a carbonate salt with an aqueous acid solution, the carbon dioxide is directed into a trap for attracting insects. A generating unit is described which can be preassembled and activated at the site of the trap. |
