Description

  The present invention relates to a mouse capturing device that captures and processes mice that live in buildings, restaurants, or general households.

Rats are animals that are harmful to humans and have been exterminated in various ways.
The conventional extermination method is a trap using a spring, killing with a drug (Patent Document 1), installing a repellent at a place where a mouse appears and spraying the repellent when detected by a sensor (Patent Document 2) ), And a method of emitting ultrasonic waves that mice dislike (Patent Document 3).
JP-A-10-327734 JP-A-8-214760 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-107893

However, traps using springs have a low catch rate, and the method of killing with drugs is unclean because it dies and rots under the edges and behind the ceiling.
In addition, the method of installing a repellent together with a sensor at a place where a mouse appears and emitting ultrasonic waves is complicated and expensive, and the installation place is limited.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a mouse capturing device that has a simple structure, is low in cost, can be installed anytime and anywhere, and can reliably capture and kill mice.

In order to achieve the above-described object, the mouse capturing device of the present invention is a mouse capturing device that captures and processes a rat, and has an open container opened at the top, and an appropriate amount of water stored in the open container. And a plurality of floating bodies floated on the water, and bait placed on the plurality of floating bodies, the plurality of floating bodies can place the bait but cannot place a rat. It is characterized by this.
Here, a hollow structure that is lighter than water and a material having a specific gravity of less than 1 or a combination of both can be used as the floating body.

The effect | action by the said problem-solving means is as follows.
An appropriate amount of water is stored in an open container with an opening at the top, and a number of floating bodies such as polystyrene foam are floated on the surface of the water.
Since the floating body is a hollow structure lighter than water or a material having a specific gravity of less than 1, it can be easily placed on the surface of the water.
If the mouse capture device made in this way is installed in a place where the mouse appears and disappears, the mouse will be attracted by the smell of the food and will eventually jump to the food in the container.
The floating body allows food to be placed, but when the mouse is placed on it, it can not support the weight of the mouse and it flips over or sinks in the water, so at the moment the mouse jumps, It will fall into the water.
Because of this, the rat suffocates in the water and dies.

Since the mouse capturing device of the present invention is as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
<I> It is an extremely simple structure that stores water in an open container, and simply places food on the surface of the water.
<B> It can be easily made using containers (buckets, etc.), floating bodies (styrofoam, etc.), water, food (food left over by humans, etc.) provided in general households, so there is little cost. .
<C> Since it has a simple structure, it can be installed anytime, anywhere, and can be used any number of times.
<D> Rats that try to feed always fall into the water, so be sure to capture and die.

Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a mouse capturing device. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the mouse capturing device.

<I> Mouse capture device (Figure 1)
The mouse capturing device 10 of the present invention includes an open container 1, an appropriate amount of water 4 stored in the open container 1, a floating body 2 floated on the water 4, and a bait 3 placed on the floating body 2.

<B> Open container (Fig. 1)
The open container 1 has a side surface and a bottom surface, and is opened only at the top (FIG. 1 shows a part of the open container 1 cut out).
The size of the open container 1 is not particularly limited as long as the mouse can drown and die, and a slightly larger bucket having a diameter of 40 cm and a height of about 35 cm is preferable.
Water 4 is stored in the bucket so that the depth is about 18 cm.
The open container 1 is made of plastic or metal, and the inside is formed on a smooth plane.
Moreover, the shape of the open container 1 is not limited to a cylindrical shape such as a bucket, but may be various shapes such as a box shape, a prismatic shape, and a cone shape.

<C> Floating body The floating body 2 floats on the water surface of the open container 1 and places food 3 thereon.
The floating body 2 is a hollow structure that is lighter than water, and a material having a specific gravity of less than 1, for example, a plastic member, a polystyrene foam, a rice husk, a leaf of a tree, a piece of wood, or the like that can be easily obtained (not limited to these, Anything that floats on water 4 and can be loaded with food 3).
By covering most of the water surface (50% or more) with the floating body 2, the smell of water that the mouse feels dangerous can be removed.
It is necessary to use a plurality of floating bodies 2 instead of one.
If the floating body 2 is too large, the mouse is supported and cannot be tumbled into water. In particular, pups do not fall even with relatively small floating bodies. Conversely, a small floating body cannot hold the bait 3 on the water.
Therefore, the food 3 is supported by floating a plurality of small floating bodies 2 (for example, a size of 2 to 5 centimeters square) that a rat always falls.
The amount of the floating body 2 may be a part of the surface of the water, but it is even better if the entire surface is covered because it does not move and is stable and gives a sense of security to the rat.
Alternatively, the food 3 may be floated on the surface of the water and the bait 3 may be placed on a ship (a toy that a child plays in a bath).
In this way, the floating body 2 allows the bait 3 to be placed, but when the mouse is placed on it, it must be turned over without being able to support the weight of the mouse or submerged in water.
As a result, the mouse can be reliably dropped into the water.

<D> Bait For bait 3, use what mice prefer to eat. For example, damaged foods such as wheat, corn, fish, soybeans, rice, fried sweet potatoes, and fruits can be used alone or in combination. Foods with a strong smell such as fish and meat are also preferred.
These baits 3 can be used as they are from uneaten foods at home, and are not necessary to be purchased or prepared as special diets for mice, so they are convenient and convenient.

Next, the case where the mouse | mouth capture | acquisition apparatus 10 is used is demonstrated.
First, an open container 1 having an upper opening such as a bucket (a diameter of 40 cm and a height of about 35 cm) is prepared, and water 4 is poured into the container so that the depth is about 18 cm.
A floating body 2 composed of a plurality of slices is floated on the water surface of the bucket 1, and a bait 3 preferred by a rat is placed at the approximate center.
Thus, if the mouse capturing device 10 of the present invention is installed in a place where the mouse appears, such as a corner of a restaurant kitchen, a corner of soil, or a corner of a kitchen of a general household, the mouse is attracted by the smell of food and the wall. Or jump to the food 3 in the container 1 along the shelf.
When installing in a wide place without installing it in a corner, for example, if a rod 5 or the like is stood from the ground to the upper end of the open container 1 (see FIG. 3), a rat can be easily induced. That is, the mouse is pulled by the smell of the food 3 and runs up the stick 5 and approaches the food 3 in the container 1.
The floating body 2 allows the bait 3 to be placed, but when the mouse is placed on it, the weight of the mouse cannot be supported and it is turned over or submerged, so the moment the mouse jumps or The mouse falls into the water as soon as it is eaten by food 3.
The rat that has fallen into water cannot climb because the inside of the container 1 is a smooth flat surface and cannot escape from the container 1.
Because of this, the rat suffocates in water and will die reliably. If diet 3 is replenished, another mouse can be captured again.
Thus, the mouse | mouth capture | acquisition apparatus 10 of this invention can once be installed, and can capture | capture several animals continuously only by replenishing food as needed.
According to the present invention, it is a simple structure, and it is possible to make a mouse capturing device by utilizing members (buckets, plastics, polystyrene foam, wood fragments, leaves, etc.) and bait provided in general households, and costs almost no. It does not take.
Furthermore, it is very effective because it is sure to control the mice and can be used any number of times.
