The invention is directed at to a pest entrapment device for attracting and trapping flying pests around the head of a person. The apparatus includes an attachable device having at least one member, which member contains at least one cavity to hold a pest attractant. The attachable device is affixed to a head covering on the underside of a bill, brim, visor or the like. The pest attractant can be of a combination of grease, carbon dioxide, sweetener, and a sticky, viscid matter. The pest attractant also acts as a trapping substance to capture the flying insects. The pest entrapment device can be removed for cleaning and reapplication of the pest attractant.

1. A method of controlling flying insects around the head of a person, the method comprising: providing a head covering with a shade producing feature having an underside and a topside;engaging a device to the shade producing feature, the device having an exposed region adjacent to, and facing away from, the underside of the shade producing feature, wherein the exposed region has an insect attractant comprising a sticky, viscid matter disposed thereon and wherein the device further comprises: an upper member for contacting the topside of the shade producing feature;a lower member having an upper surface for engaging the underside of the shade producing feature and a lower surface having the exposed region located thereon; anda connecting member joining the upper and lower members to each other for releasable engagement to the shade producing feature;attracting the flying insects using carbon dioxide, water vapor, and body heat produced in the vicinity of the person's face; andredirecting the flying insects from the carbon dioxide, water vapor, and body heat produced in the vicinity of the person's face to the insect attractant such that the flying insects become trapped in the sticky, viscid matter. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the exposed region has a cavity and the insect attractant is disposed in the cavity. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the upper member, lower member, and connecting member are all one piece, or all separate pieces, or any combination thereof. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the device comprises iron, steel, ferrous metal, aluminum, tin, plastic, composite, or a combination thereof. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the connecting member comprises a spring clip, tension clip, or alligator clip. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the upper member includes a stop and a magnet to affix an accessory to the upper member. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the lower member further comprises an attractant visor and the exposed region is located on the attractant visor. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising rubbing the insect attractant onto the exposed region using an applicator. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the insect attractant has a moldable, solid form enabling its application by rubbing it onto the exposed region. 10. A method of controlling flying insects around the head of a person, the method comprising: providing a head covering with a shade producing feature having an underside and a topside;engaging a device to the shade producing feature, the device having an exposed region adjacent to, and facing away from, the underside of the shade producing feature,rubbing the insect attractant onto the exposed region using an applicator, the insect attractant comprising a sticky, viscid matter;attracting the flying insects using carbon dioxide, water vapor, and body heat produced in the vicinity of the person's face; andredirecting the flying insects from the carbon dioxide, water vapor, and body heat produced in the vicinity of the person's face to the insect attractant such that the flying insects become trapped in the sticky, viscid matter. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the device comprises an attractant visor and the exposed region is located on the attractant visor. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein the insect attractant has a moldable, solid form enabling its application by rubbing it onto the exposed region.
