Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a termite trapping device for attracting termites and at least one of detecting and exterminating termites, a method for detecting termites and a method for exterminating termites using the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to protect structures such as houses from termite damage, pesticides have been applied to areas where termites may exist or areas where it is necessary to prevent termite damage. The way to do is done. However, in order to stop the damage of termites in a specific area of the structure, the method of spraying the insecticide in the area where the termites may exist can only exterminate the termites that are in direct contact with the insecticide. It is not possible to exterminate the enormous number of termites that make up it.

Further, in a method of preventing termite damage by spraying an insecticide, the biological activity of the sprayed insecticide is lost over time, and the effect of preventing termite invasion is also lost. There is a problem. Further, it is not preferable to spray a large amount of insecticide in consideration of the influence on the environment.

As a method for exterminating termites other than spraying a large amount of the above-mentioned insecticide, conventionally, termites are collected in a container, and ant-feeding food (toxic food) is placed in the container, and the toxic food is collected. There is a method of exterminating termites by using a small amount of toxic food by bringing them back to the nest of termites collected inside the container.

In the above system, in order to form a passage for returning the toxic food to the termite nest, a food for collecting termites (hit material) is first placed inside the container to collect the termites, and then the hit material is collected. It replaces with toxic food. However, stimulating termites when exchanging hazardous materials with toxic bait accelerates termite abandonment of the system. For this reason, there is a demand for a system that enables the replacement of the sniper material with toxic food without stimulating the termites.

[0006] As a system for alleviating the irritation to termites at the time of exchanging with the above-mentioned toxic food, as shown in Table 1-5.
No. 20517 discloses a pest attraction monitoring facility in which extraction means for selectively moving bait for pests are engaged in order to selectively take out bait for pests stacked inside the apparatus. ing.

FIG. 14 shows a schematic configuration of the pest attraction monitoring equipment.
Shown in. As shown in the figure, the pest attraction monitoring equipment 40
0 is a flange 41, a lid 42, a main body 47, a pest food 4
9a and 49b, a take-out means 50 and a take-out means 52 are provided.

The pest foods 49a and 49b are each provided with a passage extending in the longitudinal direction. Inside the main body 47, in a state in which the take-out means 50 is stacked on the take-out means 52, the upper take-out means 50 is received only in the passage of the pest bait 49a, and the lower take-out means 52 is used as the pest feed. 49a and pest bait 49b are received in the passageway.

With the above structure, the gripping means 53 of the take-out means 52 is pulled up to take out both the insect pests 49a and b as one body, or the grasping means 51 of the take-out means 50 is pulled up to take out only the harmful insect pests 49a. , Can be arbitrarily performed. Therefore, after the termites have been detected, it is possible to take out only the pest bait 49a from the main body 47 and prevent the pest bait 49b from stimulating the termites.

[0010]

However, in the above-described pest monitoring equipment 400, the engaging states of the extracting means 50 and the extracting means 52 inside the main body 47 are the same before and after the detection of termites. Therefore, not only at the termite detection stage but also after the termite detection, the gripping means 53
Can be pulled out to take out both of the pest foods 49a and 49b.

Therefore, after the detection of termites, in order to prevent irritation to the detected termites, termite feeding 49
Even if only a is taken out, the gripping means 5
It happens that the gripping means 53 is pulled up instead of 1. In this case, both the insect pests 49a and 49b are taken out, and unnecessary stimulation is given to the termites of the termite food 49b. Therefore, the above-mentioned pest monitoring equipment is not sufficient to surely solve the problem that the abandonment of the pest attraction monitoring equipment is promoted by the stimulation of the termites after the detection of the termites.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to reliably prevent unnecessary stimulus from being applied to a detected termite after the termite has been detected. An object of the present invention is to provide a termite capturing device which can be used, and an effective method for detecting and exterminating termites using the same.

[0013]

Means for Solving the Problems The inventors of the present invention have
As a result of diligent studies, they have found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by using a food take-out means provided with a hooking means that is hooked only when they are arranged in a specific direction, and have completed the present invention.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the termite-capturing device of the present invention has at least one opening having a size through which a termite can pass, which is formed in the side wall of the main body. A termite trapping device that performs one of the above, and in the termite bait arranging section inside the main body, a plurality of bait takeout means for arranging and taking out the termite baits are stacked so as to be taken out. , The hooking means is provided with the first feed-out means and the first feed-out means only when the first feed-out means is arranged in a specific direction with respect to the adjacent second feed-out means. It is characterized in that it is attached to the food feeding means of 2.

According to the above construction, by changing the direction of the feed extracting means, it is possible to change the hooking state of the adjacent feed extracting means. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the detected termites from being stimulated by changing the hooking state of the feed extracting means according to the detection stage of the termites. In the present invention, "stimulation" means that the environment of the detected termite changes, for example, the termite is subjected to a force such as vibration or pressure, or is irradiated with light such as ultraviolet light or visible light. Thing, wind (movement of air), temperature change, etc.

For example, until the termites are detected, the plurality of feeding means for feeding the termite feeding section are hooked to each other, and after the termites are detected, the feeding means can be removed and taken out separately. To place. As a result, until it is confirmed whether or not termites have been detected, it is possible to take out a plurality of feeding means that are hooked on each other at one time, and after the termites are detected, other feeding means can be taken out. Only one bait extraction means can be taken out without stimulating the termites of the means.

Therefore, after the termites have been detected, when the bait (attack material) for collecting the termites is replaced with the toxic bait, all of the plurality of bait take-out means are mistakenly taken out. It can surely prevent the termites from being stimulated. Therefore, it is possible to surely prevent the termite trapping device from being abandoned quickly by the termites detected by the stimulation, effectively supply the toxic food to the detected termites, and exterminate the termites.

In the termite trapping apparatus of the present invention, it is preferable that the bait removing means has a frame portion surrounding the termite bait, and the termite bait is fitted in the frame portion.

With the above structure, even when the termite bait which easily expands due to the absorption of water is used, the expansion can be suppressed by the frame surrounding the termite bait. Therefore, the contact between the side wall and the termite feed can be suppressed, and the termite feed can be easily taken out.

In the termite trapping device of the present invention, the food feeding means comprises a plurality of frame portions having substantially the same shape,
It is preferable that the plurality of frame portions have their central axes substantially coincident with each other and are joined so as to be rotatable about the central axes.

With the above structure, the expansion of the termite feed can be more reliably suppressed. That is, it is possible to more effectively suppress the expansion of the termite feed by surrounding the periphery of the termite feed with the plurality of frame portions of the feed extracting means.

Further, the plurality of frame portions of the termite trapping device of the present invention have substantially the same shape, and the central axes of the shapes formed by the frame portions substantially coincide with each other, and rotate about the central axes. It is preferably possible.

With the above structure, when the termite bait is to be inserted into the bait removing means, the plurality of frame portions are rotated so that the termite bait can be fitted into the bait easily. Can be inserted. Then, after the termite bait is fitted and inserted, the plurality of frame portions are rotated,
Since it is possible to surround the periphery of the termite feed from different directions, it is possible to suppress the expansion more effectively.

In the termite trapping device of the present invention, it is preferable that the food feeding means has a take-out knob portion on an outer surface of the frame portion, and one end of the take-out knob portion is the above-mentioned. It is preferable that the plate-shaped body is joined to the outer surface of the frame via the hinge.

With the above structure, it becomes easier to take out the feed extracting means from the feed disposing portion. Further, by using the plate-shaped body as the extraction knob portion, it is possible to make it substantially parallel or substantially perpendicular to the outer side surface. Thereby, except when necessary, it is possible to prevent the obstacles from stacking the plate-shaped bodies substantially parallel to the outer side surface and stacking the feed extraction means.

In the termite trapping apparatus of the present invention, it is preferable that the inside of the main body further includes an ant bait arranging section in which the ant bait is arranged, in addition to the termite bait arranging section. .

With the above configuration, the ants, which are the natural enemy of termites, can be attracted by the ant bait of the ant bait arranging section, and the ant can be eliminated from the termite bait arranging section.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the presence of the ants from inhibiting the termites from entering the inside of the termite trapping device or excluding the termites inside the termite trapping device. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably attract the termites to the termite feeding arrangement portion, and more effectively detect and exterminate the termites.

In the termite catching device of the present invention, it is preferable that the termite bait arranging section and the ant bait arranging section are separated by an inner wall formed with a void having a size through which the ants can pass. .

With the above configuration, it is possible to more reliably separate the termites in the termite feed arranging section and the ants in the ant feed arranging section. That is, since the inner wall inside the main body of the termite trap has a space through which the ants can pass, the ants that enter the termite trap through the opening on the side wall of the main body are used as ant food. They will be attracted and moved to the ant food placement section. Since the ant bait placement section and the termite bait placement section inside the termite capture device are separated by the inner wall, the influence of the ant bait placement section on the termite bait placement section is more certain. Can be prevented.

The termite trapping device of the present invention is preferably made of a material which is resistant to decay or corrosion in the ground and has an anti-termite property.

With the above structure, when the termite capturing device is placed in the ground for a long period of time, it is possible to prevent the termite capturing device from being corroded, spoiled or damaged by termites. Therefore, the termites can be captured continuously for a long period of time. Also, depending on the target usage period,
It is also possible to use a so-called biodegradable material that resists decay or corrosion during the period of use and retains anti-termite properties, but decomposes in soil after the end of the period of use.

In order to solve the above problems, the termite detection method of the present invention is a method for detecting termites using the above termite trapping device, which comprises a trapping device arranging step of arranging the termite trapping device in the ground. , A bait arranging step for arranging non-termicidal termite baits by a plurality of bait take-out means hooked on each other in the termite bait placement section, and a plurality of bait take-outs interlocked with each other. A means for taking out the means from the termite feeding arrangement portion and confirming the presence or absence of detection of termites is included.

With the above structure, it is possible to take out a plurality of feeding means for catching one another from the feeding section for termites at a time. Therefore, it becomes possible to easily confirm the detection of termites in the detection confirmation step.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the termite extermination method of the present invention is a termite extermination method using the above termite capture device, which comprises a step of arranging the capture device in the ground. , A bait arranging step for arranging non-termicidal termite baits by a plurality of bait take-out means hooked on each other in the termite bait placement section, and a plurality of bait take-outs interlocked with each other. The means is taken out from the termite feed placement section, and a detection confirmation step for confirming the presence or absence of detection of termites, and after the termites are detected in the detection confirmation step, the plurality of feed extraction means are unhooked and separated. Distributing means separating step, and a plurality of food extracting means separated in the extracting means separating step are arranged in the termite food arranging portion. After the step and the feeding means placing step, one feeding means is taken out from the termite feeding placement section, and the non-anticidal termite bait is replaced with an anticidal termite bait, and the termite is used. And a anticidal bait arranging step for arranging in the bait bait arranging section.

With the above arrangement, it is possible to surely prevent the detected termite from being stimulated and expediting the abandonment of the termite trap. That is, after the termites have been detected in the detection confirmation step, the feeding means separating step of removing the hooks of the plurality of feeding means and separating the feeding means and the feeding means in the separated state are arranged in the feeding section for termites. Since the extraction means arranging step is included, only one food extraction means can be reliably taken out in the subsequent anticidal food arranging step.

Therefore, after the termites have been detected,
It is possible to reliably prevent the detected termite from being stimulated by mistakenly taking out the food feeding means that does not need to be taken out from the termite feeding arrangement portion.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION [Embodiment 1] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9.
It is as follows.

FIG. 2 shows a termite capturing device 1 according to this embodiment.
It is a perspective view which shows the schematic structure of 00. FIG. 2A shows the lid 2.
It is a perspective view from the side, and (b) is a perspective view from the bottom part 17 side of the main body 7. As shown in the figure, in the termite capturing device 100 of the present embodiment, a plurality of openings 5 are formed in the side wall 6 of the main body 7, and the lid 2 and the main body 7 are provided at one longitudinal end of the main body 7. A flange 1 having an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of 7 is attached, and the other end of the main body 7 is a bottom portion 17.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view for explaining the internal structure of the termite trapping device 100 of the present embodiment, a part of which is removed along the line AA ′ in FIG. The internal structure of the termite capture device 100 of the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the termite trapping device 100 of the present embodiment schematically includes a flange 1, a lid 2, and
A main body 7, and the inside of the main body 7 defined by the side wall 6 and the bottom portion 17 of the main body 7 has an opening 5
Through the outside. Then, the termite bait arranging section 8 inside the main body 7 is stacked with a bait take-out means (first bait take-out means) 18a and a bait take-out means (second bait take-out means) 18b so as to be taken out.

As shown in the figure, the food take-out means 18a and the food take-out means 18b are arranged in the same direction, and since they are hooked, the food take-out means 18a and the food take-out means from the termite bait-placing section 8 are attached. 18b can be taken out as one body. The hooking mechanism between the feed extracting means 18a and the feed extracting means 18b will be described later. Hereinafter, when the feed extracting means 18a and the feed extracting means 18b are not particularly distinguished, they are simply referred to as the feed extracting means 18.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic structure of the feed extracting means 18. As shown in the figure, the feed extracting means 18 includes a connecting hole (hanging means) 20 and a connecting rib (hanging means) 21.
And a take-out knob portion (plate-shaped body) 22 and a hinge portion 23.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view for explaining a mechanism in which the adjacent feed-out means 18 is hooked by the connecting holes 20 and the connecting ribs 21. As shown in the figure, the feeding-out means 18a is arranged in a specific direction with respect to the adjacent feeding-out means 18b, so that the connecting ribs 21 of the feeding-out means 18a are connected to the connecting holes of the feeding-out means 18b. By fitting with 20, the feed extracting means 18a and the feed extracting means 18b are hooked. As described above, the feed-out means 18a and the feed-out means 18b of the present embodiment are hooked only when the directions thereof are the same. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the feeding-out means 18a and the feeding-out means 18b are hooked.

On the other hand, when the feeding-out means 18a and the feeding-out means 18b are not in the same direction, the positions of the connecting hole 20 and the connecting rib 21 are different from each other so that they are not fitted to each other. Therefore, the feeding-out means 18a and the feeding-out means 18b are not hooked.

As described above, depending on the direction of the feed extracting means 18, it is possible to determine whether or not the adjacent feed extracting means 18 are engaged with each other. Therefore, in the step of confirming whether or not the termites have been detected, by stacking the food extracting means 18a and the food extracting means 18b in the same direction, both of them can be extracted from the termite food arranging portion 8 at once. It will be possible.

Further, at the stage after the detection of the termites, by stacking the feeding-out means 18a and the feeding-out means 18b in different directions, it is possible to reliably take out only the feeding-out means 18a. By doing so, it is possible to reliably prevent the feeding-out means 18b from being accidentally taken out and giving unnecessary stimulus to the termites of the feeding-out means 18b.

The bait removing means 18 is used for placing the non-termicidal or anticidal termite bait 9 in the termite bait placement section 8 and for taking it out from the termite bait placement section 8. . For this reason, the termite feed 9 needs to be attached to the feed extracting means 18. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a state in which the termite bait 9 is attached to the bait removing means 18. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the inner diameter L of the feed extracting means 18 is
The termite feed 9 is attached to the feed extracting means 18 by using the termite feed 9 having an outer diameter R larger than that (see FIG. 3). In other words, termite bait 9
When the termite bait 9 is fitted into the bait removing means 18, the bait bait 9 surrounds the outer periphery of the termite bait 9 so as to be clamped, so that the termite bait 9 can be attached so as not to fall from the bait taking means 18.

As described above, since the feeding means 18 surrounds the outer periphery of the termite feed 9, for example, when a paper or the like that absorbs water and swells is used as the termite feed 9, the swelling thereof will occur. Can be suppressed.
Therefore, the contact between the termite bait 9 and the side wall 6 is suppressed, so that the termite bait 9 can be easily taken out from the termite bait disposing portion 8. Further, since it is not necessary to form a fixing hole or passage in the termite feed 9,
The termite feed 9 can be easily produced.

FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 show the food take-out means 1 stacked with the termite baits 9 attached.
8 is shown. As shown in FIG. 7, the feeding means 18
When a is arranged in the same direction as the feed extracting means 18b, the connecting hole 20 (see FIG. 3) and the connecting rib 21 are fitted to each other, so that both are hooked. Therefore, by taking out the food take-out means 18a, the food take-out means 18b can be taken out at the same time.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
When 8a is arranged in a direction different from that of the feeding means 18b, the connecting hole 20 (see FIG. 3) and the connecting rib 21 are provided.
Since and do not fit, they do not hang. Therefore, it is possible to reliably take out only the feeding-out means 18a, and at this time, the feeding-out means 18b is not taken out at the same time.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the hinge portion 23
Of the feed extraction means 18 by raising the extraction knob portion 22 connected to the feed extraction means 18 via the above, that is, by making the extraction knob portion 22 substantially perpendicular to the outer side surface 24 of the feed extraction means 18. It can be taken out more easily. The outer surface 24 is a surface closest to the lid 2 in a state where the food feeding means 18 is arranged in the termite food arranging portion 8.

In addition, except when the feeding-out means 18 is taken out, as shown by the broken line, the feeding-out knob portion 22 is made substantially parallel to the outer side surface 24 so that the feeding-out means 18 is stacked. It can prevent an obstacle.

In the termite feed placement section 8, a non-anticidal or anticidal termite bait 9 is placed in order to detect and / or remove termites. Here, the non-termicidal termite feed 9 is usually one that does not substantially contain an anticidal component in the feed, and the ant-termite termite feed 9 is usually at least in the feed. It contains an anticidal component in an amount or concentration necessary for achieving the termite control method of the present invention.

Specifically, when detecting a termite, a non-anticidal termite bait 9 is placed in the termite feeding section 8 to attract termites, and when termites are exterminated The termite bait 9 is placed and the termite termite bait 9 is brought back to the termite nest. It should be noted that a non-termicidal termite bait 9 and an anticidal termite bait 9 may be simultaneously arranged inside the main body 7 so that termite detection and extermination are performed simultaneously.

In addition, if the habitation of termites has been confirmed in the vicinity of the termite trapping device 100 to be installed, for example, because the building has been damaged by termites or the ant road has been confirmed, the termite feeding The termite bait 9 having termicidal properties may be placed in the placement section 8 from the beginning to exterminate the termites.

For example, when detecting a termite, a non-termicidal termite bait 9 is attached to both the feeding means 18a and the feeding means 18b, and when the termite is detected, the termite bait is placed. It is possible to take out only the bait removing means 18a from the part 8 and replace the non-anticidal termite bait 9 attached to the bait removing means 18a with the anticidal termite bait 9. This allows
An anticidal termite bait 9 is arranged in the termite bait arranging section 8 without disturbing the state of the termites of the non-anticidal termite bait 9 arranged in the bait removing means 18b. It becomes possible to give termite baits 9 having termicidal properties to the termites of the section 8.

The termite bait 9 attached to the feeding means 18 can be made of a material containing cellulose that is eaten by termites. For example, pulp of wood, filter paper, unbleached paper, Japanese paper, recycled paper, etc. Examples include papers containing cellulose, and cellulose ethers such as methyl cellulose, oxypropyl methyl cellulose, and oxybutyl methyl cellulose. The shape of the termite bait 9 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a columnar shape, a prismatic shape, and a roll shape formed by winding paper. A moisturizer may be included in the termite feed 9. This makes it possible to effectively attract the types of termites that are attracted by moisture.

As the termite bait 9, non-anticidal or anticidal food is used depending on the purpose. The non-anticidal termite bait 9 is intended to attract underground termites to the termite bait disposing portion 8 inside the main body 7,
The termite termite bait 9 differs in that it is intended to bring back the termicidal component to the termite nest.
However, since all of them are fed by termites, the same ones can be used except for the presence or absence of an anticidal component.

The anticidal component used in the termite-feeding bait 9 for termites is preferably a slow-acting one. By using a slow-acting anticidal ingredient, termite-feeding termite feed 9
Since termites that feed on can move before they die, they can return to their nests before they die and propagate the termite components to other termites. Furthermore, since the human body will die after moving to the outside of the main body 7, it is possible to prevent the inside of the main body 7 from being contaminated by the termite carcasses, which prevents the termites from collecting inside the main body 7.

Subsequently, exploded front views of the termite trapping device 100 of the present embodiment are shown in FIGS. 9 (a) and 9 (b). As shown in the figure, the termite capture device 10 of the present embodiment
Reference numeral 0 includes a flange 1, a lid 2, a main body 7, a feed extracting means 18a and a feed extracting means 18b.

The flange 1 is a so-called donut-shaped disc in which the space 11 is formed, and its inner diameter (diameter of the space 11) is smaller than the outer diameter of the lid 2 and its outer diameter. Is larger than the outer diameter of the main body 7. Therefore, the flange 1 to which one end of the main body 7 is attached can form a projection that surrounds the outer surface side of the side wall 6 of the main body 7. Since the termite catching device 100 is supported by the flange 1 when it is placed in the ground, the main body 7 can be easily placed at a predetermined depth in the ground.

The lid 2 is detachably attached to one end of the main body 7 in the longitudinal direction, and prevents dirt, water and the like from entering the inside of the main body 7. Further, for example, in order to prevent the lid 2 from being opened due to mischief of a child, the termite trapping device 100 preferably includes a mechanism for locking the lid 2 to the main body 7. Further, it is more preferable that the lid 2 can be opened and closed only by using a dedicated tool. As a result, only a person having a dedicated tool can open and close the lid 2, so that it is possible to reliably prevent the lid 2 from being opened by, for example, mischief of a child.

The main body 7 has a side wall 6 and a bottom portion 17, and its shape is substantially cylindrical. The side wall 6 is formed with a plurality of openings 5 having a size through which termites can pass, and the bottom 17 has a drain hole (not shown) for draining water from the inside of the main body 7. Has been formed. The size of the opening 5 is not particularly limited as long as it can pass a termite.

In order to prevent dirt, water, etc. from entering the inside of the main body 7 through the opening 5, the opening 5 of the side wall 6 is provided with the opening 5 when the termite catching device 100 is placed underground. It is preferable that the lower part of the outer opening side end is formed below the lower part of the inner opening side end.

Termite capturing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment
Preferably consists of a material that resists decay or corrosion in the ground and is anti-termite. By using such a material, it is possible to prevent the termite trapping device 100 from spoiling or being damaged by the termites, and thus it is possible to continuously capture the termites and exterminate the termites.

Materials that are used as materials for the termite trapping device 100 and that resist spoilage or corrosion in the ground and have anti-termite properties include, for example, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, nylon, polyacetal,
Resin materials such as polyphenylene oxide, polyethylene terephthalate, and ABS resin; metal materials such as aluminum, iron, stainless steel, tin plate; mineral materials such as pottery, porcelain, and earthenware.

Further, as the biodegradable resin used as the material of the termite trapping device 100, biodegradable polylactic acid,
Examples thereof include biodegradable aliphatic polyester and biodegradable polyurethane.

As described above, the termite trapping apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is provided with the feeding means 18a and the feeding means 1.
It is possible to control the hooking state of both depending on the direction of 8b. Therefore, after the termites are detected, the feeding means 18
It is possible to dispose the “a” and the bait removing means 18b in the termite bait arranging section 8 in a separated state without being hooked. Therefore, when it is necessary to take out only the feeding means 18a, the feeding means 18b is mistakenly taken out, and the termites are stimulated.
It is possible to surely prevent the abandonment of the.

In the termite bait arranging portion 8 inside the main body 7, a bait takeout means (first bait takeout means) 28a and a bait takeout means (second bait takeout means) 28b are stacked so as to be taken out. The termite trapping device 200 according to the present embodiment is provided with the feeding means 18.
This is different from the termite trapping device 100 in that it is provided with the feeding means 28a and 28b instead of the a and b. Hereinafter, when the feed extracting means 28a and the feed extracting means 28b are not particularly distinguished, they are simply referred to as the feed extracting means 28.

Next, the attachment of the termite bait 9 to the bait extraction means 28 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 11 (a), the feed extracting means 28 is composed of a first frame portion 29 and a second frame portion 30. The first frame portion 29 and the second frame portion 30 are substantially rectangular frames having substantially the same shape.

More specifically, the termite bait arranging section 8
