Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to an insect trap, and its purpose is to provide an insect trap that has good insect trapping efficiency and can be used repeatedly.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, there is a device shown in FIG. 2 as an insect trap.

This insect trap a is hung from a string stretched around the plant cultivation area, attracts pests with the pest-attracting color applied to the inner surface of the insect trap body b, and traps pests that have entered the insect trap body b through the small hole c. Insects are captured using an adhesive material d applied to the inner surface of the insect trap body b, and by forming the adhesive material d on the inner surface of the insect trap main body b, the adhesive material d adheres to the clothes of workers during cultivation work such as agricultural work. This is to prevent

However, since the insect trap a allows pests to enter the insect trap main body b through the small hole c, the pest intrusion area is small considering the bulk of the overall shape, and furthermore, the insect attracting color is only applied through the small hole c. Since it was confirmed from the outside, the exposed area of the pest-attracting color was small, resulting in poor insect-catching efficiency.

Furthermore, since the entire structure is one-piece, it is necessary to replace it with a new insect trap a after catching pests, making it uneconomical as it cannot be used repeatedly.

(Issues to be solved by the invention) In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, there has been a desire in the industry to create an insect trap that is efficient at trapping insects and can be used repeatedly.

(Means for solving the problem) In this invention, an adhesive insect trap board is housed in a case so that it can be freely taken out and removed. The above problem is solved by providing an insect trap in which one surface of the case facing the case is an opening surface, and a net material is stretched along the opening surface at a predetermined distance from the adhesive surface.

(Example) An example of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIGS. 1A to 1C are diagrams illustrating an insect trap according to an embodiment of this invention, and numeral 1 in the figures indicates the insect trap.

First, the configuration of the insect trap 1 will be explained.

2 is a case.

The case 2 has a flat plate shape, and as shown in FIG. 1B, both side edges thereof are formed as presser portions 3, 3 which are bent at an acute angle into a dogleg shape.

An adhesive insect trapping board 4 is housed in a case 2 so as to be freely accessible.

The adhesive insect trapping board 4 is inserted and removed from the upper opening 5.

The adhesive insect trap plate 4 is attached to the case 2 as shown in FIG. 1C.
A locking portion 7 formed at the corner portion 6 prevents the device from coming off from the lower open portion 8 .

The locking part 7 connects the notched corner part 6 to the case 2.
It is formed by folding inward.

The locking part 7 is for preventing the adhesive insect trap plate 4 from coming off from the lower open part 8, and other members may be attached separately.

The adhesive insect trapping board 4 has a flat plate shape, and has an adhesive surface 10 coated with a pest-attracting color on one side of a substrate 9.

The width of the adhesive insect trapping plate 4 is set to a length such that both end edges are in contact with the pressing parts 3, 3 when inserted into the case 2.

The holding parts 3, 3 are used to press both edges of the adhesive insect trapping board 4 to prevent the adhesive insect trapping board 4 from falling forward or wobbling within the case 2.

Materials for the adhesive surface 5 include oils, softeners, liquid rubber, liquid resins, natural proteins or polysaccharides, polymeric substances, rubber, pressure-sensitive adhesives whose main components are synthetic resins, etc., adhesive hydrogels, etc. can be mentioned.

The pest-attracting color varies depending on the type of pest to be captured, and the most suitable one can be selected after taking various considerations into account. For example, yellow can be applied to the whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood). .

Coloring is applied to the surface of the substrate 9 when the adhesive surface 10 is transparent, and to the adhesive surface 10 when the adhesive surface 10 is opaque.
Color it.

The adhesive surface 10 may be provided with pest attracting elements other than coloring, such as aggregation pheromones, food attractants, etc., and sound waves.

One surface of the case 2 that faces the adhesive surface 10 of the adhesive insect trap plate 4 is an opening surface 11, and this opening surface 11
A net material 12 is stretched along the adhesive surface 10 with a required gap (approximately 5 to 30 mm) maintained therebetween.

The material of the net material 12 may be either a synthetic resin fiber net or a wire net.

The netting material 12 has a transparent area percentage of 90% or more of the adhesive surface 10 coated with pest-attracting color, which the netting material 12 faces.
A value of 99.9% or less is desirable.

The perspective area percentage refers to the adhesive surface 1 covered by the net material 12.
The area of 0 is defined as 100, and when the adhesive surface 10 is viewed from the front side of the net material 12, it refers to the percentage of the area of the adhesive surface 10 that is exposed and seen through the net material 12.

Below 90%, pest efficiency decreases; on the other hand,
This is because if it exceeds 99.9%, the mesh components become too thin, which poses a problem in practical handling.

The configuration of the insect trap 1 according to an embodiment of this invention is as described above, and the method of using the same will be explained next.

To assemble the insect trap 1, as shown in FIG. Insert the adhesive insect trap plate 4 into the case 2 along the inside of the case 2 and lock it with the locking part 7 to prevent it from coming off from the lower opening part 8. At the same time, both ends of the adhesive insect trap plate 4 are locked with the presser parts 3, 3, and the adhesive insect trap plate 4 is inserted into the case 2. This prevents the plate 4 from rattling or falling within the case 2, and from coming off from the opening surface 11, and furthermore maintains a constant gap between the adhesive surface 10 and the net material 12.

If both ends of the case 2 are bent and used as the holding parts 3, 3, and if a part of the case 2 is formed as the locking part 7 by folding them, these can be formed without preparing separate members. This simplifies manufacturing.

To use the insect trap 1, the insect trap 1 assembled as described above is hung from a string strung around the plant cultivation area, or placed against a predetermined location.

In this way, even if the clothing of a worker working in the farm near the insect trap 1 comes into contact with the insect trap 1, the net material
2 prevents clothes etc. from adhering to the adhesive surface 10, and on the other hand, pests are attracted by the pest-attracting color of the adhesive surface 10 and pass through the mesh of the netting material 12 to reach the adhesive surface 10. Captured by adhesive force.

At this time, the mesh material 12 has a large area for pests to penetrate considering its shape, and the pest-attracting color of the adhesive surface 10 is exposed to the outside with a wide transmission area through the mesh, making it easy for pests to see.

When the transparent area percentage of the net material 12 is 90% or more, the pest-attracting color of the adhesive surface 10 can be effectively confirmed by pests from the outside of the net material 12.

When other pest attracting elements such as aggregation pheromones are used, the attention of pests is further aroused.

After using the insect trap 1, the adhesive insect trap board 4 inside the case 2 is pulled out from the upper opening part 5, a new adhesive insect trap board 4 is stored in the case 2, and the case 2 is reused.

(Effects of the invention) In this invention, an adhesive insect trap board is stored in a case so that it can be taken out and removed freely, and this adhesive insect trap board has an adhesive surface coated with a pest-attracting color on one side. One surface of the case is an open surface, and the insect trap has the following effects because the net material is stretched along the open surface at a predetermined distance from the adhesive surface.

Pests enter through the mesh of the net material, so the area of entry is wide, and the pest-attracting color is exposed to the outside through the mesh with a wide permeation area, making it easy for pests to see.
Good insect trapping efficiency.

The case can be used repeatedly by simply replacing the adhesive insect trapping board.
