TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a flying pest attractant used in a trap for capturing flying pests such as flies, and a method of attracting flying pests.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Fly as a typical flying pest is generated from livestock barns, poultry houses, garbage dumps, kitchens, and the like. These flies are being exterminated. However, since fly has a large flying ability, the required amount of insecticide may not be sufficient, and the effect may not be sufficient. Therefore, it has been practiced to use fly attractants to efficiently ingest the insecticide into the fly or to attract the fly to a trap (for example, see Patent Document 1).
[0003]
However, at present, flies tend to flock to various foods and few attractants are particularly effective as attractants for flies. Also, the attracting effect of the attractant may be reduced depending on the type of kitchen garbage, and the attracting effect may be reduced depending on the usage of the attractant.
