"DEVICE FOR TRAPPING LOCUSTS AND INSECTS"
APPLICANT
INVENTORS
The following specification describes the invention,
FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a trapping device. Particularly, the present invention relates to a device for trapping locusts and insects, which allows to instantly grab and electrocute the locust or any other type of insects in a simple manner without causing any harm to the environment and without utilizing pesticides that kill bees or even causes cancer to human/damage to ecosystem.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[0002] Locusts can harm humans indirectly as it is capable of destroying the agricultural economy of a country. Locust swarm for voraciously feeding on the agricultural crops, trees, etc. This feeding can devastate the grasses and crops grown for people and livestock, causing starvation and famine in communities for e.g. farmers, who depend on their crops for survival.
[0003] Currently, aeroplanes, helicopters, bug sprays and drones for killing the locust. The application of pesticides for killing the locusts can kill bees or even causes cancer to human/damage to the ecosystem. Accordingly, there is need for a device for trapping locusts and insects, which allows to instantly grab and electrocute the locust or any other type of insects in a simple manner without causing any harm to the environment and without utilizing pesticides that kill bees or even causes cancer to human/damage to ecosystem.
OBJECT OF INVENTION
[0004] The main object of the present invention is to provide a device for trapping locusts and insects, which allows to instantly grab and electrocute the locust or any other type of insects in a simple manner without causing any harm to the
environment and without utilizing pesticides that kill bees or even causes cancer to human/damage to ecosystem.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
[0005] The present invention deals with a device for trapping locusts and insects, which allows to instantly grab and electrocute the locust or any other type of insects in a simple manner without causing any harm to the environment and without utilizing pesticides that kill bees or even causes cancer to human/damage to ecosystem.
[0006] The device for trapping locusts and insects of the present invention comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle or drone/unmanned ground vehicle or general vehicle, an electric net for electrocuting the locust or any other type of insects, and an insect collecting bag that is carried by the vehicle. The electric net supplies minimum electricity so that the locusts won't die but are collected in the insect collecting bag.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
[0007] The present invention deals with a device for trapping locusts and insects that allows to instantly grab and electrocute the locust or any other type of insects in a simple manner without causing any harm to the environment and without utilizing pesticides that kill bees or even causes cancer to human/damage to ecosystem.
[0008] The device for trapping locusts and insects (A) comprises of an unmanned aerial vehicle or drone/unmanned ground vehicle or general vehicle (1), an electric net (2) for electrocuting the locust or any other type of insects, and an insect
collecting bag (3) that is carried by the vehicle. The number of drones carrying one net can be 1, 2 or 4 depending upon the swarm. The electric net supplies minimum electricity so that the locusts won't die but are collected in the insect collecting bag.
[0009] The unmanned aerial vehicle or drone/unmanned ground vehicle or general vehicle in the moving condition grabs the locust or any other type of insects. The grabbed insects are subjected to electrocuting by the electric net. The electrocuted insects are then collected in the insect collecting bag.
[0010] The present invention also comprises an artificial intelligence system, which detects birds and avoid them during the operation. The device can be of any shape based on needs. The device is operable either by wireless or wired devices/communication.
[0011] The advantage of the invention is that it allows to instantly grab and electrocute the locust or any other type of insects in a simple manner without causing any harm to the environment and without utilizing bug sprayers or pesticides that kill bees or even causes cancer to human/damage to ecosystem.
