Description

  The present invention relates to a small animal control tool used to control small animals such as mice.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been provided a small animal extermination tool having a configuration in which an adhesive is applied to the surface of a substrate made of paper or plastic in order to exterminate small animals such as mice (for example, see Patent Document 1 below).

  That is, the small animal extermination tool of the conventional configuration is arranged in a state where the adhesive is facing upward in a place where the small animal is likely to appear, and if the forelimb or hind limb (hereinafter simply referred to as limb) of the small animal unexpectedly touches this adhesive, This entangles the limbs and prevents them from moving, eventually blocking the act of feeding and causing them to starve to death.

JP-A-11-262352

  As described above, the conventional small animal extermination tool focuses on sticky capture that captures the movement of the small animal's limbs with an adhesive, so that the limbs of the small animal ride on the adhesive as much as possible. The application surface of the agent is ensured to be sufficiently larger than the body of the small animal. For this reason, the substrate to which the adhesive is applied is inevitably large, and the overall shape of the small animal extermination tool is large.

  By the way, small animals such as mice use the passage that seems to be safest by learning when going back and forth between the nest and the feeding place. Often on the top. Therefore, in order to effectively control such small animals, a small animal control tool is installed on the passage where the small animals appear and disappear.

  However, the passage through which small animals come and go is often a narrow place or a place that is not necessarily flat as described above, and it is difficult to install a small animal extermination tool having a large shape as in the past in such places. In addition, when a small animal rampages, the adhesive is easily peeled off and often escapes, and when the main purpose is capture, its extermination effect is still insufficient.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems. Rather than focusing on capture, the present invention is a shock that is caused by hungry death by moving small animals and feeding, or by falling into a strong stress state. It aims at providing the small animal extermination tool which exterminates a small animal by making it die.

  In order to achieve the above object, a small animal extermination tool according to the present invention includes a drop member and a box-shaped case to which the drop member is attached, and the drop member secures a drop space in the case. The gist is that it is held down.

  According to the small animal extermination tool of the present invention, if this is installed in the passage of the small animal, when the limb of the small animal rides on the dropping member and the weight is applied, the dropping member falls into the falling space of the case, At that time, the limbs of the small animals are injured by the momentum, and the movement and feeding behavior of the small animals are hindered. As a result, it eventually leads to starvation or death due to shock under a strong stress state. In particular, mice are effective because they are vulnerable to such stress.

  Moreover, since this small animal extermination tool has a small shape as a whole, it can be easily installed and installed even in places where the passages where small animals invade appear are confined or where the surface of the pipe is not flat. it can. For this reason, sufficient extermination effect is acquired compared with the past. Moreover, since the number of parts as a product is small, it can be manufactured at low cost.

  In the present invention, when a sharp piercing piece that pierces the limb of a small animal is fixed to the dropping member, when the limb of the small animal rides on the dropping member that holds the piercing piece, Since it falls into the fall space of the case, the piercing piece pierces deeply into the limb of the small animal by the momentum and the limb is damaged. For this reason, the movement and feeding behavior of small animals are hindered, and as a result, it eventually leads to starvation or falls into a stressful state and shocks death. In particular, mice are effective because they are vulnerable to such stress.

  In the present invention, when an adhesive is applied to the surface of the stab member holding side of the sagging member, the adhesive sticks to the limb when the small animal's limb falls into the recess. It becomes difficult for the piece to come off, and the effect of inhibiting the movement and feeding of small animals increases.

  In the present invention, in the case where a raised portion set to a size suitable for a small animal limb to grab an object is formed at the center position of the dropping member, and the piercing piece is fixed on the raised portion, When a small animal's limb falls into the case unexpectedly, the animal's habit of grasping the object will inevitably grip the ridge, so the contact area between the adhesive attached to the holding member and the limb Is larger than the case of a flat surface, and the adhesive force is increased. For this reason, even if a small animal goes wild, the piercing piece stuck into the limb is not easily detached from the limb.

  Further, in the present invention, the case is formed with a bent portion that is folded back toward the inside of the case at the peripheral end portion for insertion of the sagging member, and the outer peripheral portion of the sagging member is the bent portion. Since the sagging member is held in the case by the frictional force caused by the pressing of the bent portion and the engaging protrusion when the bent portion and the engaging projection are engaged with each other, The sagging member can be securely held in the case.

  When the small animal's limb rides on the sagging member and gains weight, the sacrificial member easily falls into the fall space of the case, and once it falls, the folding part expands so as to close the opening of the case by its restoring force For this reason, even if a small animal goes wild, the sagging member becomes difficult to come off from the case, and the extermination effect is enhanced.

  In the present invention, when the movable end of the bent portion is formed with a sharp piercing portion for piercing the limb of the small animal, the limb of the small animal rides on the dropping member and takes weight, and the falling member When the bent part is deployed so that the bent part closes the opening of the case with the restoring force, the pierced part pierces the limb of the small animal, so that even if the small animal goes wild, the case becomes difficult to come off from the limb of the small animal, and the extermination effect is enhanced.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a small animal extermination tool of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a small animal extermination tool according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a case constituting the extermination tool, and FIG. 3 shows a piercing piece and an adhesive on a dropping member constituting the extermination tool. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a state in which the piercing piece and the adhesive are held on the depression member constituting the extermination tool.

  The small animal extermination tool in this embodiment includes a sharp piercing piece 1 that pierces the limb of a small animal, an adhesive 2 that sticks to the limb of the small animal, and a dropping member 3 that holds both the piercing piece 1 and the adhesive 2 on the surface. And a box-shaped case 4 to which the sagging member 3 is mounted.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the case 4 is made of paper. As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom 4a having a quadrilateral shape in plan view, the peripheral side 4b extending from the bottom 4a, and the upper periphery of the peripheral 4b. And a trapezoidal bent portion 4c folded inward from each side of the end portion. And the bending length of the bending part 4c is set so that it may become shorter than the height of the peripheral side part 4b so that the below-mentioned fall space 6 may be ensured when the dropping member 3 is mounted in the case 4. Yes. For this reason, an opening 4d for inserting the sagging member 3 is formed on the side of the case 4 where the bent portion 4c is formed.

  The vertical and horizontal dimensions of the case 4 are set to be slightly larger than the limbs, although they are smaller than the body of the small animal to be exterminated. For example, when a rat is to be removed, the vertical and horizontal dimensions are set to about 20 mm.

  Note that the case 4 is not limited to paper, and a flexible plastic material can also be used.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the sagging member 3 is made of hard plastic, and is formed in a quadrangular shape in plan view along the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral side portion 4 b of the case 4. A hemispherical raised portion 3a is formed at the center position, and an engaging projection 3b that engages with the bent portion 4c of the case 4 is formed in a dam shape along the outer peripheral portion thereof. In this case, the protruding portion 3a is set in size so that the limb of the small animal fits the object, and the piercing piece 1 is fixed to the top portion of the protruding portion 3a with an adhesive. Further, the adhesive 2 is applied to the inside surrounded by the engagement protrusion 3 b of the sagging member 3.

  The piercing piece 1 has a shape in which a plurality of needles protrude upward in this example, but may have a shape in which one needle protrudes upward like a push pin. The material of the piercing piece 1 is not limited to a metal material as long as it has a certain level of strength, and various materials such as ceramics and synthetic resins can be applied.

  As the adhesive 2, a rubber adhesive is used in this example. However, the adhesive 2 is not limited to this. For example, a synthetic resin adhesive, a mineral adhesive, a wax adhesive, a polysaccharide adhesive, and the like are appropriately used. It is possible to select and use. The viscosity of the pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 in this case can be poured on the dropping member 3 and does not easily drop even when the case 4 is disposed at an inclination, and for small animals The viscosity is set so as to sufficiently stick.

  When using the small animal extermination tool, first, the dropping member 3 holding the piercing piece 1 and the adhesive 2 is pushed inward from the opening 4d side of the case 4. Then, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), the bent portion 4c of the case 4 is pressed and further bent by the peripheral portion of the drop member 3, so that the drop member 3 can be moved downward.

  Then, when the sagging member 3 is pushed to a certain extent and its outer peripheral portion passes the lower end of the bent portion 4c, the bent portion 4c is engaged with the engaging protrusion 3b of the sagging member 3 in a releasable manner by the restoring force of the bent portion 4c. Then, the two members 3b and 4c are pressed against each other, and the dropping member 3 is held in a state in which a drop space 6 is secured between the case 4 and the bottom portion 4a of the case 4 by the frictional force.

  Next, this small animal extermination tool is installed in a passage for small animals such as a floor surface or a wall surface.

  If the small animal extermination tool is installed and fixed in this way, when the small animal passes through the passage, the limb passes through the opening 4d of the case 4 to hold the piercing piece 1 and the adhesive 2 on the dropping member 3 As shown in FIG. 1B, the dropping member 3 easily falls into the falling space 6 below it. At that time, since there is a certain amount of momentum, the piercing piece 1 penetrates deeply into the limb of the small animal.

  In addition, since the raised portion 3a of the dropping member 3 is formed in a hemispherical size that is suitable for the small animal's limb to grab an object, when the small animal's limb falls into the case 4 unexpectedly, The raised part 3a is inevitably gripped by the habit of the animal to be grasped. Thereby, the contact area of the adhesive 2 attached to the holding member 3 and a limb becomes larger than the case where it is a plane, and adhesive force increases. As a result, the stab piece 1 stabbed into the limb is not easily detached from the limb even if the small animal goes wild.

  Thus, once the sagging member 3 falls into the fall space 6, the bent portion 4 c of the case 4 is deployed so as to close the insertion opening 4 d of the case 4 by its restoring force. It is difficult to come off the case 4 by being caught by the bent portion 4c.

  As a result, small animals lose their freedom of limbs, making it difficult for them to move up, such as running up the walls, and their food act is hindered, leading to starvation. Moreover, since it becomes impossible to run up the wall surface, the chance of dying in the wall or behind the ceiling is reduced, and the treatment of the corpse becomes easy. Further, when the limb is injured by the piercing piece 1, it causes a painful wound and falls into a strong stress state. In particular, a mouse or the like that is vulnerable to stress can be killed by shock.

  Since this small animal extermination tool has a small overall shape, it can be easily installed and installed even in places where the passages where small animals appear and disappear are narrow places or places that are not flat such as the surface of piping. . For this reason, sufficient extermination effect can be acquired compared with the past. In addition, since it is not a method of killing small animals with drugs, there is little risk of damaging animals that are not subject to extermination, such as cats.

  Further, since the sagging member 3 is mounted and held on the case 4 simply by inserting the sagging member 3 from the opening 4d of the case 4, the assembly procedure is very simple. Moreover, since the number of parts as a product is small, it can be manufactured at low cost.

  Note that the adhesive 2 may be premixed with protruding particles that are crushed into a size of about 1 to 2 mm, such as quartz or glass, and have a sharp shape. If such protruding particles are mixed in the adhesive 2, even if the piercing piece 1 does not pierce the limb, the protruding limb mixed in the adhesive 2 can injure the limb. It is effective because it can inhibit dietary behavior.

  Furthermore, the adhesive 2 can be premixed or coated with a toxic substance for small animals such as rodenticides. Thereby, the small animal which licks or bites the adhesive 2 can be killed or weakened.

  In this embodiment, the raised portion 3a of the sagging member 3 is formed in a hemispherical shape, but is not limited to such a shape, and is a convex shape suitable for a small animal limb to grab an object. Any other shape may be used.

  5 to 7 show a second embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in this example, the case 4 includes a bottom portion 4a having a square shape in plan view, a peripheral side portion 4b extending from the bottom portion 4a, and an upper periphery of the peripheral side portion 4b. And a trapezoidal bent portion 4c folded inward from each side of the end portion. And the bending length of the bending part 4c is set so that it may become shorter than the height of the peripheral side part 4b so that the below-mentioned fall space 6 may be ensured when the dropping member 3 is mounted in the case 4. Yes. For this reason, an opening 4d for inserting the sagging member 3 is formed on the side of the case 4 where the bent portion 4c is formed.

  In this case 4, a square bottom opening 4e that is slightly smaller than the bottom is formed in the bottom 4a. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, in the second embodiment, the sagging member 3 has a square plate shape, and the opening 4d for insertion of the sagging member 3 formed on the bent portion 4c formation side of the case 4 It is set to be smaller than that of the first embodiment.

  And the sharp piercing part 7 which pierces a small animal's limb is formed in the movable end of the said bending part 4c. In this example, the piercing portion 7 is formed by cutting out and forming an end facing the movable opening 4d of the bent portion 4c and an end facing the adjacent bent portion 4c into a jagged shape.

  When attaching the sagging member 3 to the case 4 with the drop space 6 secured, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the sagging member 3 is fitted into the bottom opening 4e, and the outer surface of the sacrificing member 3 is flat with a top surface. A substrate 8 is prepared on which a protrusion 9 that can be positioned at a predetermined height is formed with the portion engaged with the bent portion of the bent portion 4c.

  Then, when the dropping member 3 is pushed inward from the opening 4d side of the case 4 in a state where the bottom opening 4e of the case 4 is fitted to the protrusion 9 of the substrate 8, the bent portion 4c of the case 4 falls. And is further bent. When the sagging member 3 comes into contact with the upper surface of the projection 9, the bent portion 4c is detachably engaged with the peripheral portion of the sagging member 3 by the restoring force of the bent portion 4c and presses against each other. The dropping member 3 is held in a state in which a falling space 6 is secured between the dropping member 3 and the bottom 4 a of the case 4 by force.

  Thus, in the state where the sagging member 3 is in contact with the top surface of the protrusion 9, it is possible to carry and store it until the start of use. By doing so, the drop member 3 is not accidentally dropped into the drop space 6 before use, and the position of the drop member 3 is hardly displaced.

  When using the small animal extermination tool, the case 4 to which the dropping member 3 is attached is removed from the protrusion 9 of the substrate 8 and installed in a passage for small animals such as a floor surface or a wall surface.

  Since the sharp piercing portion 7 for piercing the small animal's limb is formed at the movable end of the bending portion 4c, the small animal's limb falls on the dropping member 3 to gain weight, and the falling member 3 falls to the bending portion. When 4c is deployed so as to close the opening of the case 4 with the restoring force, the piercing portion 7 pierces the limb of the small animal, so that even if the small animal is exposed, the case 4 is difficult to come off from the limb of the small animal, and the extermination effect is enhanced.

  If the small animal extermination tool of each of the above embodiments is installed in a passage where small animals come and go, there is an effect that it is possible to remove small animals with a sufficiently high probability even if the number of installations is small, in order to further enhance the extermination effect, A plurality of these small animal extermination tools may be installed in a line along the passage, or may be distributed over a wide area on the floor or wall. Moreover, the small animal extermination tool of the present invention is not limited to the shape shown in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
