Technical field

The present invention relates to the muroid trap, more specifically, relate to a kind of muroid Poison bait station.

Background technology

The muroid Poison bait station of prior art is limited by several important drawbacks.

That is, numerous such prior art Poison bait stations allow water to enter shell and contact poison bait, thereby have damaged poison bait.Such prior art Poison bait station can not impel discharges such water from above-mentioned Poison bait station.And, thereby before snail, slug, cricket and other insect contamination muroid poison bait reduced the attraction of above-mentioned muroid poison bait to muroid, the prior art Poison bait station was not taken measures for eliminating above-mentioned insect.The prior art Poison bait station is not easy to be anchored on appropriate position, and in use, to binding agent, does not provide sufficient domination point.Such prior art Poison bait station is not heat insulation, can't prevent that the muroid poison bait is dry and peel off from suspension rod, and wherein above-mentioned suspension rod remains on such poison bait on the position that attracts muroid.And such prior art Poison bait station has and utilizes hinges to be fixed to the capping on shell, after the use that repeats, and become wearing and tearing and can not using of above-mentioned capping.

Therefore, need such device, this device anti-sealing to a certain extent enters above-mentioned shell and destroy the muroid poison bait that uses in shell, and is that all water extractions that enters shell supply sufficient draining.Needed device promotes its grappling in several general construction, and provides and prevent that insect, snail and other insect from contacting and polluting muroid poison bait method.Needed invention durable, and the capping of such device comprises firm hinges.The present invention has realized these targets.

Summary of the invention

This device is for placing the muroid Poison bait station that heads on the ground and selectively metope.Shell has pair of sidewalls, diapire, at least one roof, rear wall and open front, and wherein above-mentioned pair of sidewalls respectively.Above-mentioned diapire comprises a plurality of osculums, and each above-mentioned osculum also comprises respectively optionally mobile protective cover, thereby prevents that the binding agent that puts on above-mentioned diapire from stopping up above-mentioned osculum.Above-mentioned shell can also comprise the cement plate in the outside that is secured to above-mentioned diapire, and by using the mortar types of material, above-mentioned cement plate allows above-mentioned muroid Poison bait station to be secured to ground.

The open front of capping closure before adopting.Preferably, the diapire of above-mentioned shell is fixed in above-mentioned front capping by hinges.Above-mentioned shell comprises that at least one and above-mentioned capping interlocking make above-mentioned capping stably cover the capping locking mechanism in the above-mentioned open front of above-mentioned shell.

Hard poison bait platform is contained in shell, and above-mentioned poison bait platform comprises a pair of part of lifting, and the above-mentioned a pair of part of lifting is be used to supporting an interlayer, and limits the anchor log space above-mentioned a pair of lifting between part, be used to holding fragment of brick or other suitable weight.Above-mentioned interlayer is provided with the poison bait container.

In one embodiment, the poison bait hitch comprises the first support, and above-mentioned the first support is fixed on above-mentioned rear wall between above-mentioned interlayer and above-mentioned at least one roof.Above-mentioned poison bait hitch also comprises that the second support of being fixed in above-mentioned front capping and at least one selectively are placed in the poison bait suspension rod on above-mentioned the first support and the second support, fall into above-mentioned poison bait container for making from the poison bait that above-mentioned poison bait suspension rod falls.

The opposite side of above-mentioned poison bait container that can be on above-mentioned interlayer forms a pair of insecticide pallet, and above-mentioned a pair of insecticide pallet, for depositing suitable insecticide, approaches and destroy above-mentioned muroid poison bait to prevent cricket and other insect.Similarly, can on above-mentioned diapire, at above-mentioned each sidewall and above-mentioned lifting between part, form a pair of snail poison bait pallet, above-mentioned a pair of snail poison bait pallet fills suitable mollusk poison, to prevent snail and slug, approaches and destroy above-mentioned muroid poison bait.

In use, be placed on the muroid poison bait in above-mentioned poison bait container or on above-mentioned poison bait suspension rod, muroid can enter above-mentioned shell by an above-mentioned sidewall of above-mentioned shell, climb up one and lift part and climb on above-mentioned interlayer to obtain above-mentioned muroid poison bait.Then poisoning muroid from the another side of above-mentioned interlayer with lift part and climb down, is left shell from the rat hole of opposite side.

The present invention is the muroid Poison bait station, and this muroid Poison bait station anti-sealing to a certain extent enters the shell breaking-up is used in shell muroid poison bait.This device supplies sufficient draining for all water extractions that enters shell.The present invention promotes the grappling of the Poison bait station in several general construction, and provides and prevent that insect, snail and other insect from approaching and destroying the method for above-mentioned muroid poison bait.Durable of the present invention, and the capping of such device comprises firm dual-action hinge.According to below in conjunction with by the more detailed description of example to the accompanying drawing that is illustrated of principle of invention, other features and advantages of the present invention become apparent.
