Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To construct an insect capturing tool not only capturing flying unpleasant insect pests with high efficiency but also qualitatively and quantitatively confirming the captured insects and further taking even sanitary aspects such as the inconspicuous captured insects into consideration. <P>SOLUTION: The insect capturing tool is obtained by installing an attractant preferred by the insects and a light source in an optional container and surrounding an opened part of the container with a filter coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive material. The insects flying by being attracted to the attractant source are captured with the filter. A roll of rolled filter is installed at one end of the container and a roll for recovering the filter is mounted on the other end. Thereby, an insect capturing surface can be moved continuously or at an optional interval. The roll is manually or electrically rotated. The filter is recovered while sandwiching both surfaces of the filter with wrap films without mutually sticking the filter after rolling and recovering. Thereby, the filter is unwound from the roll after using the insect capturing tool and the number and species of the captured insects can be confirmed with time. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention is an insect trap which attracts insects with an attracting substance or attracting light and captures insects flying toward the attracting factor with a filter coated with an adhesive substance. In addition, by collecting and collecting the filter sent out from one side at a constant speed from the other side, it is possible to confirm the date and time and the number and type of the captured date. A feature of the present invention is a method of winding and collecting the filter so that the adhesive substances applied to the filter do not stick to each other and unwinding the filter from the winding roll after use. .

  For traders who handle foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc., flying insects in the facility cause foreign matter contamination and problems with hygiene problems, so various measures are taken.

  As specific measures against flying insects, trapping with adhesive tape and the use of electric shock insecticide are the main. Among these, the use of the adhesive tape is disadvantageous in that it captures the insect efficiently because it cannot be captured unless the flying insect accidentally contacts the adhesive tape. On the other hand, although the electric shock insecticide can collect insects efficiently until it attracts the insects with the ultraviolet lamp, it seems that the probability of the insects coming into contact with the electric shock part is low.

  From the above, a method for collecting insects and reliably capturing them has not yet been found. Furthermore, no capture method has been found that can identify the amount and type of insects captured per unit time.

  In addition to high-efficiency capture of flying unpleasant insects, construction of an insect trap that allows for qualitative and quantitative confirmation of the captured insects and is also considered in terms of hygiene such that the captured insects are not easily noticeable .

  An attractant and a light source preferred by insects are placed in a container opened in at least one direction, and the opened part of the container is surrounded by a filter coated with an adhesive substance. By enclosing the attractant source with a filter, it is possible to dissipate the attractant out of the filter. Insects that fly by being attracted by the source of the attracting factor are captured by the filter. In addition, a roll around which the filter is wound is installed at one end of the container, and a filter collecting roll is attached to the other end, and the insect trapping surface is moved continuously or at an arbitrary interval by rotating the roll. I can do it. Furthermore, the filters are attached to each other by placing a roll of two wrap films in front of the roll for collecting the winding so as to sandwich the filter, and collecting both sides of the filter with the wrap film sandwiched between them. Can be recovered without any problem. Therefore, after using the insect trap, the filter can be removed from the roll, and the number and type of insects captured can be confirmed over time.

  As attractants used in the insect trap, alcoholic beverages such as sake and wine, ethanol, brewed vinegar, acetic acid aqueous solution, fruit or vegetable juice, fruit or vegetable fermented juice, and insect pheromone-like substances are used. Further, depending on the type and behavior of insects to be captured, a single type or a combination of several types of the above solutions may be used as necessary.

  An attracting light such as black light is used as a light source for the attracting light.

  The filter used for catching insects has a pore diameter of 0.01 to 10 mm, and can use nets, woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics, films with arbitrary holes, etc., and these materials are not particular.

  As the adhesive material applied to the insect trap filter, an epoxy-based, acrylic-based or silicone-based adhesive or paint, or a natural adhesive material is used.

  A winding roller is used for collecting the filter. Further, the winding recovery is performed by manually rotating the roller periodically or by using power such as a motor.

  The insect trap of the present invention has the following characteristics.

  Because the trapping surface is a filter, attracting substances and attracting light installed inside the filter are easily dissipated to the outside of the filter enclosure, increasing the efficiency of appealing to the insect, and insects trying to gather at the attracting factor source It is captured by a filter coated with an adhesive substance that has been applied to the front.

  Since the capture filter is wound and collected, the new adhesive surface is always exposed, and the chance of catching the captured insects is reduced. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a decrease in insect trapping efficiency due to a decrease in adhesive force, and it is also aesthetically pleasing since the trapped insects are not visible.

  Since the filters are wound and collected at a constant speed so that the adhesive filters do not stick to each other, after use, the number and type of insects captured by unwinding the wound filter can be confirmed over time.

  The present inventor succeeded in confirming the number and type of insects captured after collecting the insects gathered in the attracting factor set in advance with a filter coated with an adhesive substance, collecting the filter while winding it with a wrap film. did.

  A box with an open mouth of any size was prepared and placed so that the opening was on the side. The box was equipped with a bottle filled with absorbent cotton with enough black light and attractant. Melon skin juice was used as the attractant.

  Equipped with a roll with a 2mm mesh filter coated with adhesive material on the left end of the opening, and a roll for collecting the filter at the right end of the opening and two wrap films in front of the collection roll Equipped with a rolled roll.

  The filter was pulled out from the roll around which the filter was wound, and the front and back of the filter were sandwiched between the wrap films pulled out from two wrap film rolls to form a three-layer structure of “wrap film-filter-wrap film”. The end of the three-layer structure was fixed with a clip to a hook that was previously attached to the take-up collection roll.

  The filter recovery roll is rotated by a motor, and the filter winding speed can be changed by changing the rotation speed.

  Many of the consumer complaints about products relate to contamination. Most of the contaminated foreign bodies are insects such as Drosophila. Therefore, food factories and the like are strictly checking for insect contamination, and the cost of countermeasures and product recovery is a burden that cannot be ignored. However, many insect countermeasures such as factories are used to catch flying insects accidentally in contact with an adhesive tape, or to catch an electric shock when insects collected with an insect light touch an electric wire. Many of these methods lack aggressiveness from the viewpoint of catching insects. There is a need for a hygienic trap that has high insect trapping efficiency, enables qualitative and quantitative confirmation of the trapped insects, and that the trapped insects are not visible. Therefore, the insect trap of the present invention satisfies these conditions, and when introduced into a food factory or the like, it not only increases the trapping effect but also increases the efficiency of the sanitary program and is effective in reducing costs. The above utility value can be expected to increase.

It is the schematic of the adhesion filter type insect trap which utilized this invention.
