Abstract

Schneckenfalle, comprising a container, an attractant and a substrate, wherein the substrate is e.g. concrete, Plaster, sand, paper, cardboard, all plastics, sheet metal and / or metal and wherein the substrate and the attractant in the container so arranged that the worm must crawl over the substrate, to get to the lure and wherein the substrate is a salty surface Has.

Description

The The invention relates to a trap for Snails.

Known are toxic lures for slimy pests like snails and the like that infested in or to be protected Regions, such as in flower beds and gardens be scattered. These poisons have the disadvantage of being fast weather in the open. In addition, the vermin, if it has the poison in touch come, a long suffering time before it dies. After all is the killed with it Vermin still distributed all around and needs to be disposed of first sought and collected.

task Therefore, the present invention is a trap for snails to disposal which collects and kills the vermin. Preferably, the trap should be designed to be reusable.

The The object is achieved with the features of claim 1.

When Substrate becomes a carrier designated, on its surface Salt, preferably as a solid crust, is bound. Concrete is suitable, the with saline solution instead of water has been. Also as a carrier suitable are plaster, sand, paper, cardboard, all plastics, sheet metal and / or metal etc, so all materials whose surface irgenwie covered with a salt crust and / or can be coated with salt.

When Lure can Plants (also established) that are integrated into the container and / or to the container is attached, as well as solids, such. Bran, beer mash, Plant extracts, industrial slug pellets, etc., liquid or solid fragrances, gases and / or generators of vibrations, light, Tones and / or Sound waves are used. The attractant may be biological and / or be industrially produced.

The Lure is in one embodiment placed in the insert which is inside the container. Lured by the bait, the vermin crawls through the lure container towards use with lure on the carrier with salt (crust) along and dies after a short distance.

When container All containers, documents are suitable and / or simple floors (although the latter are generally not referred to as "containers." fall under this term) into which the vermin to catch creeping in, under certain circumstances with a shaping and / or edge construction, which provide so is that the vermin may well creep into the container, but hard to come out again. In particular, here are shells, documents and / or simple depressions in the soil into which the carrier is inserted can be meant.

Of the carrier is preferably designed interchangeable, so that one with dead vermin partially or completely filled carrier simply disposed of completely and replaced with a new one. As well can only the surface coating of the carrier renewable or interchangeable, leaving only one box or thin Sheet metal on which the salt with the dead vermin is to be disposed of got to.

When Insert in the container suitable is a simple grid, and / or a feeding trough. It must only guaranteed be that the bait is not caused by particularly tough bugs, that has made its way to the trough, is scattered and that the attraction as possible unimpaired is.

To an advantageous embodiment of the Invention is the container covered with a roof, at least partially, preferably so is measured that the lure, the salt and / or the salt crust not watered down will and / or that no bigger animals in the container to crawl. If the roof is the container not completely covering, then either preferred only over the use with the bait or just about the carrier on which the vermin dies.

To an Auführungsform includes the container also a device for anchoring the container in Ground, like a spike or barb stuck in the ground can be. The anchor can be integrated on the container itself, can be a separate component and / or can be used (feeding trough) and / or integrated in the roof.

In the following the invention will be explained in more detail by means of a concrete example, which is a screw trap:
The container is a small rectangular or circular, open to all sides cottage in which snails, attracted by a lure, crawl and dry up there on the track.

The Schneckenfalle consists essentially of a cup-shaped plastic bottom, a roof over the ground, a circular Grid (the use with the lure), which is arranged approximately in the middle of the cottage is and a thin one Concrete layer in the bottom shell.

The concrete layer is already in the manufacture strongly mixed with common salt or another salt (cow salt or similar).

to Fixation of the Schneckenfalle in the soil serves a point, the through an implementation in the middle of the plastic bottom is inserted.

Of the Use in the middle of the cottage is filled with a lure. Although industrially produced attractants such as slug pellets are suitable, but should be preferred natural products such as bran or plant extracts (eg Marigold Calendula officinalis), which create a larger "odor radius" around the house.

The Snails are attracted to the lure, crawling over the salt-soaked Concrete layer and dry up without having reached the lure.

Advantages over the simple scattering of slug pellets include:
The snails die much faster than by slug pellets and thus their suffering time is shortened considerably.

snails, those who die from snails are sometimes caught by birds or Hedgehog eaten, in turn, by the slug in the Poison snail. The snail shell, on the other hand, is so small that Hedgehogs or birds not get to the dead snails. In addition, the consumption would be safe, because the snails have died without taking up slug pellets.

snails, take up the snail grain and perish on it, leaving it all over the place Lawn unpleasant slime traces. Although the carrier is in the shell but it can be thrown away together with the slugs or depending on the type of carrier be composted. If the carrier Concrete is, then the bottom of the snail shell with a plastic scraper or similar with subsequent rinsing (Water) to be cleaned.

The Slug, as far as it is used, is safe under the roof against rain and thus against dissolution before achieving the effect and almost unattainable for the snails.

The Effect caused by a small amount of slug pellets in the snail shell can never be achieved by simply scattering snail grain be achieved.

at the filling of bait trough, the use of biological attractants is preferred. Suitable are bran, beer mash and many other plant extracts from preferred feed plants of the snails.

Already smallest snails crawl into the trap. This will increase the multiplication the snails diminished.

The Snail shell and / or the vermin trap can be made from recyclable Plastic or recycled plastic.

The Trap comprises at least three elements: the feeding trough (insert) for the Attractant, z. simply placed in the container at a designated location and / or screwed, the container itself, such as. the bottom shell, where the feeding trough is attached, as well as the carrier, so for example the concrete filling with the salt crust. All parts are individually interchangeable and can be used as Spare parts are worried.

It For the first time a pest trap is introduced, in which creeping, Mucus trail leaving vermin fast, cheap, concentrated destroyed in one place and without "manual work".
