Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a termite extermination device and a method for exterminating termites.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Termites are a general term for insects belonging to the order Isoptera. In Japan, house termites, Yamato termites, Satsuma termites, Catan termites, and termites inhabit. Of these termites, they often damage woody structures, and control and control pests that reduce the strength and durability of the structures and that are considered to be pests that cause unexpected disasters. Various methods have been developed.

According to the method disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent No. 3024651, termites form an extensive bait pit below the surface of the soil, so that a pesticide is sprayed on the soil before construction and the termites are leveled below the building. There is a way to create a barrier, and use a bar or block of wood that is easily damaged by termites, place it near the place where the termites were damaged, invite termites and inject arsenic trioxide etc. There is also a method to provide a monitoring device that attracts termites in the soil, captures termites when they are detected, and then replaces the monitoring device with a matrix containing toxic substances and exterminates them. ing.

[0004] Incidentally, the toxic substance-containing matrix comprises, for example, a cellulose component such as sawdust in the form of powder or small particles,
A semi-solid paste made of about 60 to 80% of moisture and a humectant is known.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional termite extermination apparatus and termite extermination method, a bait such as a poison bait is installed so as to come into contact with the soil. It is easy to disperse, and there is a danger of spilled by rainwater and entering the groundwater system.

[0006] In addition, soil near the ground tends to be unstable in humidity depending on weather conditions, so that the feeding efficiency of termites tends to be unstable, and the control efficiency is not stable.

Further, when the poison bait is placed in contact with the soil, molds tend to grow on the termites that died in or near the poison bait, and other termites became susceptible to mold by the habit of repelling the mold-bearing termites. There is a problem that they will not come.

When a poison bait is set in an ant path on the ground,
The distance that can be attracted by the attractant is at most 1
It was about 0 cm and the attraction distance was relatively short.

Further, since the termite-inducing bait and the poison bait are completely replaced and used at a predetermined time, most of the attracted termites can be made to act to transfer to the latter bait, and the poison bait can be ingested. There is also a problem that the probability is low and the extermination efficiency is not sufficient.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and provides a termite extermination device and a method for exterminating termites that have high attraction and extermination efficiency for baits and poison baits. It is an object of the present invention to provide a termite extermination device and a method for exterminating termites that can increase the efficiency of attracting termites and ingesting poisonous baits as a device for extermination of mold in and near the bait.

[0011]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention prepares two kinds of bait consisting of a palatable bait harmless to termites and a poison bait for termites. A container capable of disposing the bait material adjacent thereto is provided. The container is formed of a liquid-tight material having easy cutting properties and a liquid-tight material capable of forming a termite introduction port at a key point.
The termite extermination device was provided with an opening capable of loading various types of bait materials and a lid therefor.

As a material having easy cutting properties and liquid tightness capable of forming the above-mentioned termite introduction port at a key point, the use of a styrofoam material makes it possible to keep the temperature in the container constant and to maintain the airtightness in the container. It is preferable to improve the habitat environment preferred by termites.

[0013] The termite extermination apparatus of the present invention configured as described above can cut an important part of the container to form a termite introduction port. Therefore, depending on the situation at the site where the extermination of termites is desired, The entrance can be reliably arranged so as to approach or contact the ant path or nest of the ant, which allows the termites gathering in the ant path or nest to be directly attracted into the container, thereby The extermination efficiency can be sufficiently increased.

Further, since a container made of a liquid-tight material is used, the drug does not flow into the soil, the effectiveness of the active ingredient of the poison bait is hardly reduced, and the contamination of the soil environment with the drug is prevented. .

Since a predetermined opening is formed in such a container, two types of predetermined bait materials can be sequentially placed adjacent to each other, and the palatability is harmless to termites in the container. Wait until the termites are attracted by loading the bait,
Thereafter, a termite bait is loaded into the container at a position adjacent to the palatability bait, and the termites can be transferred to the latter bait, so that the bait can be ingested with a high probability.

In addition, when a container made of styrene foam or the like is used, the inside of the container can be kept in a warm and humid environment, and the termites can be more active in eating. In such an environment, invasion of other ants into the container and invasion of mold spores are reduced.

Further, in the invention relating to the termite extermination method of the present invention, a termite introduction port is formed at a key point of a container made of a liquid-tight material, and a palatable bait harmless to the termite is contained in the container. Wait until the termites are attracted and charged,
Thereafter, a method for exterminating termites, comprising: loading a termite bait in a container so as to be adjacent to the palatable bait, causing the termites to act to transfer to the latter bait and ingesting the bait. It was.

In the above method, it is preferable that the introduction port is arranged on a termite nest or an ant path, and the introduction auxiliary bait is arranged so as to bridge the ant path or the nest and the introduction port. When the termite introduction port is formed, roll-shaped corrugated cardboard wound to a diameter that can be inserted into the termite introduction feeder is used as the supplementary bait, and it is possible to use it by moisturizing it. It is preferable because of its high efficiency.

When termites are attracted into the container, if a palatable bait that is harmless to the termites is loaded into the container, the termite attraction effect can be maintained for a long period of time, so that a large number of termite colonies can be maintained. Many can be attracted to bait. Then, after attracting the termites into the container, a termite bait is loaded at a position adjacent to the palatability bait, and a large number of termites can be transferred to the latter bait, thereby improving the ingestion efficiency of the poison bait. Can be significantly increased.

By the way, in the invention according to each claim of the present application, the term “transfer” does not mean that the patriotic bait is forcibly shifted to the poison bait by artificial action, but that the termite is searched for by bait search or other actions. Transfer from a favorite bait to a poison bait.

According to the extermination method in which the introduction auxiliary bait is disposed at the inlet formed, the termites can be surely introduced into the container even when the inlet formed in the container is difficult to come into contact with an ant passage or a nest. In addition, the extermination efficiency can be further improved.

[0022]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
