The conventional cockroach trap has a problem that the structure is complicated due to the use of a temperature sensor and control device comprising an electronic part, and the manufacturing cost is high. If the battery breaks down, the power supply to the electric heater cannot be controlled, and in the worst case, there is a risk that the electric heater will heat up and cause a fire. In addition, since there was no opening other than the cockroach ingress in the lower part of the capture container, warm air in the capture container is less likely to leak out of the container, and therefore the efficiency of attracting cockroaches by temperature is good. There was also a problem of not.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a highly safe cockroach trap that can be supplied at low cost. Another object of the present invention is to provide a capture of cockroaches that are excellent in attracting cockroaches.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a cockroach trap comprising a capture container having a cockroach entry port and a heat source provided in the capture container, and the cockroach prefers the heat source and the capture container. It consists of an incandescent bulb with a wattage that can be maintained at a temperature.

  Further, in the above configuration, a light bulb case made of a light-shielding material is provided in the capture container, and an incandescent light bulb is accommodated in the light bulb case.

Further, in the above-described configuration, the cockroach entry port is disposed at the lower part of the capture container, and the exhaust port for discharging the air in the capture container is formed at the upper part of the capture container.
Further, in the above configuration, a small space is formed by two sun trees and a thin plate as a resting place for cockroaches on the back side of the lid of the capture container.

  Further, in the above configuration, a plurality of elongated studs for cockroach rest are formed on both side walls of the capture container.

  Further, in the above-mentioned configuration, a corrugated cardboard section having innumerable small holes bonded to two sun trees and a thin plate is formed as a resting place for cockroaches in the capture container.

As described above, in the cockroach trap according to the present invention, the heat source provided in the capture container is composed of an incandescent bulb with a wattage capable of maintaining the inside of the capture container at a temperature preferred by the cockroach. Unlike the cockroach catcher, it has a simple structure and can be supplied at a very low cost. Moreover, since the incandescent lamp to be used may have a small power consumption of several watts or less, there is no fear of fire even if it is used for a long time, and a highly safe cockroach trap is obtained.
In addition, if a light bulb case made of a light-shielding material is provided in the capture container, and the incandescent bulb is housed in this light bulb case, the light in the incandescent light bulb will cause the capture container to have an appropriate brightness. The rate can be improved.

  In addition, when the cockroach intrusion port is arranged at the bottom of the capture container and the exhaust port for discharging the air in the capture container is formed at the top of the capture container, the air heated by the incandescent bulb is captured from the exhaust port. The cockroach is discharged out of the container, and cockroaches are attracted by the discharged air, so that a cockroach trap having a high capture efficiency, that is, a high capture rate can be obtained.

  Hereinafter, a cockroach trap according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A cockroach trap, generally indicated by reference numeral 1 in the figure, includes a trapping container formed in the shape of an elongated rectangular box using a wooden board.

  The capture container 1 includes a bottom wall 2, longitudinal side walls 3, 4, side walls 5, 6 orthogonal to the bottom wall 2, and a lid 7. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the lid 7 is formed to be shorter than the long and narrow rectangular trapezoidal capture container that can be opened and closed, so that the gap forms a discharge port 8 that exhausts the air in the capture container. Yes.

  A rectangular cutout is formed at each of the lower end edges of the left and right side walls 3 and 4 and the side wall 5 in the orthogonal direction, and an opening formed between them and the bottom wall 2 is an entrance for a cockroach. 9 The entrance 9 may be circular.

A light bulb case 10 made of a light-shielding material for housing the incandescent light bulb 12 is provided inside the capture container 1. In this embodiment, it is used as a cylindrical light bulb case 10 using an empty can of canned beverages such as canned coffee (metal such as iron and aluminum). That is, the end wall of the beverage mouth is cut out by a can opener or the like, and this end is inserted into the capture container as an opening 11 having a diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the empty can.
An incandescent bulb (heat source) 12 attached to the socket 13 is inserted from the opening 11 of the bulb case 10. One end of an electric wire 14 is connected to the socket 13. The electric wire 14 extends from the exhaust port 8 for discharging the air in the capture container to the outside of the capture container 1, and the other end has a plug 15 that can be plugged into an outlet of a commercial power supply (100 V).

  As the incandescent lamp 12, a lamp with a wattage capable of maintaining the internal space of the capture container 1 at a temperature preferred by cockroaches by its heat generation when lit is used. The temperature preferred by cockroaches is between 20 ° and 30 °, and it is captured by conditions such as the internal volume of the capture container 1, the heat insulation of the capture container 1, and the amount of air entering and exiting the entry port 9 and the exhaust port 8. Although the way in which the temperature in the container 1 rises is different, cockroaches such as large, medium, small, etc. are resting at their favorite temperature places. According to the inventor's experiments, in the case of a wooden capture container 1 having a width and height of about 10 cm and a depth of 20 cm, the wattage of the incandescent bulb 12 suitable for setting the inside of the capture container to a temperature preferred by the cockroach is 5 It was 1 watt from Monday to September and 5 watt from October to April.

  In addition, the behavior of cockroaches is very agile, and cockroaches such as large, medium, small, etc. enter through the intrusion port 9 and the exhaust port 8 and move to their favorite temperature locations and rest. In particular, a large number of cockroaches are dormant in the gap 18 between the two sun trees 16 and the thin plate 17 on the back of the lid 7 and the plurality of elongated pillars 18 on both side walls 3 and 4 in the capture container.

  When using the cockroach trap 1 configured as described above, the incandescent light bulb 12 may be turned on by placing the plug 15 in a place where the cockroach appears and disappears in the state of FIG. Then, the air heated in contact with the incandescent light bulb 12 comes out of the case from the opening 11 of the light bulb case 10, and the temperature in the capture container 1 rises. Further, the bulb case 10 is warmed by the radiant heat of the incandescent bulb 12, and the temperature inside the capture container rises when the bulb case 10 and the air contact.

  Cockroaches have a habit of resting in a dark and favorable temperature place during the daytime, so they live in groups in warm, dark and narrow places such as refrigerators, televisions, and telephones, especially in winter. By simply turning off the power of the telephone, etc., and placing the cockroach catcher 1 near the cockroach, the cockroaches move and live in a collection container, so that many cockroaches can be captured and extinguished in one day. However, in the summer, cockroaches are inhabited everywhere in the room, especially because the whole cooking area is warm, so it is difficult to extinguish it. By doing so, it is easy to capture and control the majority of cockroaches.

Extermination of cockroaches captured by the cockroach trap 1 as described above is performed, for example, with the following capacity. That is, water is put in a container having a wide mouth such as a bucket in advance, and 5 or 6 drops of a neutral detergent for kitchen are put on the water. Then, open the lid body 7 of the cockroach trap 1 and a large number of cockroaches sleeping in the space 18 between the thin plate 17 in close contact with the two sun trees 16 on the back of the lid body 7 and both side walls inside the capture container 3, 4, or cardboard with countless small holes bonded to two sun trees 20 and thin plate 21, which plays an important role as cockroach capture device 1A and cockroach capture device 1A A large number of cockroaches that are dormant in the section hole 22 or in the gap 23, or any cockroaches in the capture container are dropped onto the water surface in the bucket container. Then, the buoyancy due to the oil on the cockroach body is lost due to the action of the detergent contained in the water, so that the cockroach can not swim and drowns. Note that the cockroaches in the capture container are dormant and move very slowly, so that the cockroaches do not escape from the opening when the incandescent bulb 12 or the bulb case 10 is taken out. In addition, since a cockroach that has become dormant continues to sleep until it enters the next activity time zone, the captured cockroach can be removed at any time, and there is no time burden on the user.
Since the cockroach trap 1 is configured as described above, it has the following effects. In other words, unlike a conventional cockroach trap, it has a simple structure and does not use expensive electronic components, so that it can be supplied at low cost. Also, the incandescent bulb 12 used consumes less than 5 watts, so it used only temperature sensors and control devices that could be touched by hand even if it was lit for a long time. Because it is not controlled, there is no danger of fire, and safety is extremely high. In addition, if the inside of the capture container is too bright, cockroaches who prefer dark places may hesitate to enter the capture container, but in this cockroach trap 1, the incandescent bulb 12 is housed in a light-blocking bulb case 10. It seems that cockroaches are likely to enter because the inside of the capture vessel is relatively dark.

  Even if the cockroach trap 1 and the light bulb case 10 according to the present invention are made of wood, vinyl, metal, etc., the effect is not much different.

  As the incandescent bulb 12, in addition to the white one, yellow, red, blue, black, etc. can be used for the glass part, but there is hardly any difference in the cockroach capture rate due to the color difference of the incandescent bulb 12. It was. It is also possible to attract cockroaches by diverging odor components preferred by cockroaches.

  FIGS. 5 and 6 are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-309228, but the efficiency of capturing cockroaches is improved by installing it in a cockroach capturing container. As a result of improvements in the cockroach catcher described in this publication, particularly the lid, the cockroach catching efficiency has been greatly improved.
