A flat folding insect trapping stick solves the issues of conventional insect trapping sticks that require a large amount of storage and retail shelf space. The flat folding insect trapping stick can collapse to remove the dead air in the packaging of the product, resulting in a product that not only takes up less shipping, storage and retail shelf space, but also has lower fabrication costs as compared to conventional insect trapping sticks. For example, the collapsible nature of the product can take eight pallet loads of conventional insect strips down to one in storage/shipping and can permit 24 packs on the retail shelf space in the spot of six conventional insect strips.
