Description

The present invention relates to a crow repellent method for preventing the crows from flying or nesting to a power transmission tower or utility pole using a repellent and a repellent device used in the crow repellent method.
The crows referred to in the present invention include all crows that fly or nest on power transmission towers or utility poles, such as beetle glass, ebony glass, raven glass, yamama glass, kokumaru glass, and magpie (claw glass).

Crows fly to power transmission towers and poles and nest, especially when nesting near the supporting point of wires, metal such as wire carried as nesting material falls on insulators and wires, causing ground faults There is a problem of causing an electrical accident such as.
Conventionally, various countermeasures have been taken against such electric accidents caused by crows flying or nesting.

  As conventional bird repellent methods, one that prevents the arrival of birds by stretching the guts (see Patent Document 1), and one that restricts the space to a level where nests cannot be created by hanging a sphere inside the tower ( In addition, various things have been proposed, such as a combination of a rotating windmill and a lens that threatens birds by diffuse reflection of light.

However, all of these conventional bird repellent methods use a physical repellent device to prevent birds from flying and nesting, and even if such a physical repellent device is used, the repellent effect is due to the ability of birds to learn. However, there was a problem that it did not last long enough.
In addition, when working on a power transmission tower or pole for maintenance, etc., the repellent tool may be an obstacle to the operator, which may hinder the work. There was also a problem of falling on the electric wire or falling on the ground, leading to a serious accident.

Conventionally, a method using a repellent is known as a method of repelling birds without using a physical repellent device.
This repellent is a viscous composition made by mixing a repellent component with an adhesive base, and a sticky body (including gel, gel, cream, jelly, ointment) using an adhesive base By doing so, the installation work can be easily performed by squeezing from the containing bag or extruding with a caulking gun, and the adhesion (coating property) is also excellent.
In addition, it has a repellent effect by a complex stimulus such as a tactile stimulus due to viscosity, a taste stimulus or painful stimulus due to pungent taste (for example, capsaicin), an olfactory stimulus due to aroma (for example, mint), etc. It has an excellent effect that it is harmless to the human body (see Patent Document 3).
In addition, as a repellent as described above, (trademark) Heart Gel: manufactured by Hiroshima Environmental Service Co., Ltd., (trademark) B-ST: manufactured by Anjin Co., Ltd., and the like are known.

However, the repellents mentioned above are intended for repelling pigeons, and are installed on verandas, arcades, underpasses, under the ridges of shrines, temples, etc., and serve as flying crows and nesting places. There are no examples of construction on power transmission towers or poles.

The present invention verifies the installation test on the actual line from the viewpoint of whether the repellents described above also have a repellent effect on crows, and the repellent effect by conventional physical repellent tools on crows as well The result is that it has a repellent effect that far surpasses the above, and this repellent is installed on a power transmission tower or pole that has not been installed.
As a result, it is easy to install, does not interfere with the operator during maintenance, does not cause a serious accident if it falls, and is safe for the human body. The first object is to provide a method for avoiding crows that can prevent an electrical accident caused by flying or nesting.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a repellent device in which the repellent can be easily installed in the crow repellent method.

In order to solve the first problem, the crow repellent method of the present invention (Claim 1) includes:
Repel crows by installing a repellent in a viscous composition by mixing a repellent component (such as a tactile stimulus component, a taste stimulus component, a pain stimulus component, or an olfactory stimulus component) with an adhesive base. A crow repellent method,
It was set as the structure which installs the said repellent on the upper surface of the horizontal material in the vicinity of the electric wire support point part of a power transmission tower or a utility pole.
In this crow repellent method, the repellent may be directly attached (including application) to the upper surface of the horizontal material, or may be installed on the upper surface of the horizontal material using a plate as follows. .

In order to solve the second problem, the repellent device of the present invention (Claim 2) is:

The repellent device of the present invention (Claim 3)
The repellent device according to claim 2, wherein the attachment means is a magnet attached to the plate, and the plate is attached to the upper surface of the horizontal member by the attractive force of the magnet.

In this invention, since the repellent was installed in the power transmission tower or power pole, crows can be repelled and flying and nesting can be prevented.
In particular, since the repellent is installed in the vicinity of the wire support point, it is possible to prevent flying and nesting near the wire support point where the electric accident occurs. In other words, the present invention allows crows to fly to places other than the vicinity of the wire support point.
In addition, since the repellent used is a viscous composition in which a repellent component is mixed with an adhesive base, it can be easily squeezed or extruded using a storage bag or a caulking gun. It can reliably adhere (apply) to the upper surface of the horizontal member.

  As described above, the crow repellent method of the present invention (Claim 1) differs from the conventional method using the physical repellent device in that the construction is simple and does not disturb the operator during maintenance. Because the installed object is a repellent as a viscous composition, even if it falls, it will not cause a serious accident, and is safe for the human body, and it will definitely avoid crows and cause flying and nesting It is possible to prevent electrical accidents.

  The repellent device according to the present invention (Claim 2) is to install the repellent agent on the upper surface of the horizontal member through the plate, and thus using the plate, the repellent agent is securely held on the horizontal member. Can be installed.

In particular, if the plate is attached to the upper surface of the horizontal member using a magnet (Claim 3), the plate can be installed by the magnet's attracting force, and the installation work becomes extremely simple.
