An electrical motorized fan creates an airstream in a hollow housing to draw insects past a pivotal closure member at one end of the housing into a trap receptacle removably mounted within the housing. The fan is driven by an electric motor powered by a battery mounted within the housing. An electrical switch selectively connects the battery to the motor to energize the fan. The switch is coupled to the pivotal closure member such that movement of the switch between "off" and "on" positions simultaneously causes movement of the closure member between a first position closing the first end of the housing to air flow to a second position opening the first end of the housing to air flow. A mesh screen is mounted within the trap receptacle to trap insects drawn into the receptacle through the first end of the housing. An insecticide dispenser is slidably mounted on the trap receptacle and is selectively alignable with an aperture in the trap receptacle to allow the insecticide to permeate the trap receptacle and kill insects trapped therein.

An article dispenser for individually dispensing a plurality of articles on a timed basis. A plurality of modules, each containing a magazine having a plurality of circumferentially spaced, open top and bottom ended article storage compartments and a rotatable disk having an aperture successively alignable with each storage compartment in the magazine, are vertically stacked in a column. A drive motor and timing dial rotates the disks through interlocking timed lugs mounted on each disk in a staggered, angular offset, timed relationship in which the apertures in each disk are angularly offset through the stack so that the articles in the storage compartments are successively transferred through the storage compartments of each successive module to the next lower module and from the lowermost module to a circular track disposed below the lowermost module. A paddle rotates about the track at a predetermined time interval to transfer the articles to an interior holding chamber from which the articles are retrieved when a door is opened or, if not timely retrieved, are transferred from the article holding chamber to a storage container. Sensors detect the presence of articles in the non-retrieved article storage container, and in an interior holding chamber between the lowermost module and the discharge chute and activate indicators and/or lights.
