Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a cockroach detector used at home or in a restaurant or the like to detect whether or not cockroaches are present or where the cockroaches appear or disappear.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, there have been provided or proposed various types of traps that presume the presence of cockroaches and attract them by an attractant and capture them, or a disinfectant containing an attractant that attracts and exterminates cockroaches. A cockroach detector for detecting whether or not cockroaches are present in the area and for detecting where or where the cockroaches appear and disappear has not yet been proposed. The actual situation is that people involved accidentally find cockroaches in the target area and confirm their existence. This is of course visually. Also, if you dare to check for the presence of cockroaches, there is no way than observing the target area by visual inspection as well, as no special means are provided.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, since no suitable means for detecting the presence or absence of cockroaches has been provided yet, it is the actual situation that humans have no choice but to visually observe the target area if necessary. As a result of visual observation, cockroaches are often captured even when the main activity time of the cockroaches is at night and when traps are placed in an area where the cockroaches are not easily visible to the human eye. Even in the light of past experience, it cannot be said that it is very reliable. Therefore, just because the results of visual observation are unreliable as described above, if traps and pesticides are placed regardless of whether cockroaches were found in the area, There is a possibility that the number of installation locations will be so large that it will result in unnecessarily high costs. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to develop a cockroach detector that can detect the presence or absence of cockroaches in a target area with high accuracy and can be manufactured at low cost. Is.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The gist of the configuration of the present invention is a cockroach detector in which a colored detection agent prepared by mixing a colorant having a color different from that of the sheet member with a cockroach attractant is applied to the surface of the sheet member.

The sheet member is not particularly limited to a particular material, but paper that can be obtained at low cost is suitable. In many cases, plain paperboard is suitable, but if the colored detection agent is ingested by cockroaches, as described below, it is not inconvenient even if a pattern or the like is shown if it can be easily confirmed. As mentioned above, the background color or pattern color of the sheet member should be different from the color of the colored detection agent. Some parts may have a slightly same color to some extent. The cockroach attractant is not limited to the above as long as it can be mixed with the colorant to form a colored detection agent. Eggs, flour, etc. are convenient for mixing with the above colorants. As for chicken eggs, particularly, a chicken egg kneaded product obtained by uniformly kneading egg yolk and egg white is preferable. The ratio of egg yolk to egg white may be used as it is in the natural egg, but it may be slightly changed if necessary. Of course, rice bran, sucrose, fish meal, starch, egg granules and the like are also useful as the cockroach attractant. Furthermore, these are to be added to the above-mentioned kneaded egg or wheat flour, and a colored detection agent is formed with the thus obtained cockroach attractant, and when they are applied to the above-mentioned sheet member, that is, the above-mentioned rice bran. It is more suitable to use it also as a material for generating irregularities, which is easily irregularized by sucrose, fish meal, starch or egg granules.

[0006] The colorant can be freely adopted as appropriate for being added to the cockroach attractant to form a colored detection agent. That is, it does not adversely affect the attracting action of the cockroach attractant, does not harm humans, and has a relatively clear color. As such a colorant, various food additive formulations can be used. For example, food red No. 102, food blue No. 1, and the like. It is also possible to obtain a desired color by mixing two or more kinds of such food additive formulations at an appropriate ratio. As the coloring agent, a suitable natural dye can also be adopted. A reddish color can be used as the relatively clear color of the colorant.

The mixing ratio of the cockroach attractant and the colorant may be appropriately determined according to each type so that a colored detection agent having a required color can be obtained. For example, when the kneaded product of chicken eggs is used as a cockroach attractant and the food red No. 102 is used as a colorant, the former and the latter are mixed at a weight ratio of 40: 1.1. Is appropriate. The color detection agent obtained by mixing at this ratio is dark red in the system color name. Alternatively, two of food blue No. 1 and food yellow No. 4 are used as the colorant, and the kneaded egg mixture, food blue No. 1 and food yellow No. 4 are in a weight ratio of 40: 0.1: 0.1. When mixed with, it is possible to obtain a dark green colored detection agent having a systematic color name.

It is appropriate that the color detection agent is applied to the sheet member so that the application surface has irregularities. This is to make cockroaches easier to consume. As described above, when any one or more of rice bran, sucrose, fish meal, starch or egg granules is mixed as the cockroach attracting agent that also serves as a material for generating irregularities in the attracting agent, the coated surface Since those contained parts swell to form protrusions, it is convenient that unevenness is formed by simply applying.

[0009]

[Action]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it can be effectively used as follows. The cockroach detector is used, for example, in the evening, with the coated surface of the color detection agent as the top surface, where cockroaches are expected to appear and disappear in the kitchen, that is, on the edge of the floor or in the cupboard or at other positions. To place. In any case, since the color detection agent is applied to the surface of the sheet member, which is thin and small, it can be easily set even in a narrow position. After approximately one night, observe the coated surface of the colored detection agent on the cockroach detector to check whether there is a mark of a cockroach on the coated surface. It was revealed that the cockroaches appear and disappear when the marks of the cockroaches are observed.

Since the colored detection agent applied to the surface of the sheet member is a cockroach attractant to which a coloring agent is added, first, when a cockroach is present, it is attracted to the cockroach to approach it, and the colored detection agent on the surface is approached. Will be ingested. In this case, as described above, if the colored detection agent is applied in an uneven state, it is easier for the cockroaches to ingest, so that it is better ingested and the food marks are more likely to remain. Further, the colored detection agent is a cockroach attractant colored with a colorant as described above, and when it is ingested, the surface of the above-mentioned sheet member having a different color is exposed, and the color contrast causes The food marks can be clearly recognized. If the cockroach attractant and colorant that are harmless to humans are placed, as described above, a person may come into contact with the coated surface, and in some cases, an infant or the like may scoff at this. There is no danger of poisoning. Therefore, it can be safely placed in a cupboard, etc.

In this way, when an eclipse was observed on the colored detection agent on the surface of the cockroach detector, it became clear that cockroaches were present in that area. Therefore, the conventional traps or pesticides should be set in the place where the cockroach detector was set. Then, those cockroaches should be captured and eradicated. It is presumed that there are no cockroaches in the area where no marks were found, so it is not necessary to set them.

By the way, when the cockroach detector is arranged as described above and the presence of a dent on the coated surface of the colored detection agent is observed after the passage of about overnight, as described above, the cockroaches are detected. The existence of is confirmed. At the same time, it can be said that the roaches that moved here made a walking route by Fermont and others. Therefore, if traps are placed at the same position, cockroaches will easily collect in the traps and be easily captured. Furthermore, if the cockroach feces captured in a trap or the like are observed and the color is the same as that of the colored detection agent, it can be confirmed that the cockroaches have been detected by the cockroach detector. After detecting cockroaches, traps, etc. can be placed and a considerable number of them can be captured, and then the cockroach detector can be set again to check if any cockroaches still remain.

【Example】

 Chicken egg kneaded matter and rice bran are used as the cockroach attractant, and Edible Red No. 102 is used as the colorant. First, the chicken egg kneaded product is produced by breaking chicken eggs and kneading the egg yolk and egg white at room temperature with sufficient stirring. To the cockroach attractant consisting of 40 g of the above kneaded egg mixture and 7 g of rice bran, 1.1 g of the above-mentioned Edible Red No. 102 was added, and kneaded with stirring until the whole became a uniform red color. The kneaded product thus obtained had a dark red color in the system color name, madder color in the unique color name, and dp2 in the color code. This kneaded material is the red detecting agent 1 having an action of attracting cockroaches. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the red color detection agent 1 was applied on one surface of a white rectangular mount 2 having a plane rectangular shape. Apply so as to make the surface uneven. The rice bran has protrusions in the part containing it, which is useful for generating irregularities. When the coated surface of the red detecting agent 1 is dried in this way, the cockroach detector is completed.

The cockroach detector was placed in the corner of the floor of the kitchen in the evening with the coated surface of the red detecting agent 1 facing upward, and the surface was observed the next morning, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. In addition, the red detection agent 1 was coated with countless cockroaches to remove the red color, and the surface f of the backing sheet 2 appeared white and was uneven. The existence of cockroaches was confirmed.

Therefore, when a commercially available house-shaped trap was set at the position where the cockroach detector was placed and left overnight, 5 cockroaches were captured by the sticky surface on the bottom. It should be noted that the red detecting agent 1 did not show any sign of decay 3 months after the application to the mount 2. In addition, it is extremely safe because it does not contain any toxic components.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 According to the present invention, this is placed in the detection target area, and after a suitable time has elapsed, the coated surface of the colored detection agent is observed, and the presence or absence of a dent on the coated surface facilitates the presence or absence of cockroaches. You can check. If a mark is left on the coated surface, the surface of the sheet member having a color different from that of the colored detection agent is exposed, so that the existence of the mark can be recognized very clearly. In this way, traps and the like may be set only in the area where the presence of cockroaches is confirmed, so that there is no waste. If there are cockroaches and they are detected by this cockroach detector, it can be said that the position including the set position was the walking route for the cockroaches.If you set traps at the same position, Capture efficiency is high.
