An insect trap comprises an exothermic body, and a layered body. The exothermic body is configured to comprise exothermic powder enclosed in an inner bag that is air permeable; the exothermic powder contains iron powder that releases heat when oxidized. The layered body is configured with layers of plate-like elements and comprises gaps as a pathway of entry for an insect pest. A housing space to house the exothermic body is arranged inside the layered body. The layered body and the inner bag are made of a biodegradable raw material.
