Description

  The present invention relates to a cockroach repellent that is used indoors and outdoors where people live.

  Cockroaches are harmful insects. Various methods are being used to eliminate or control this, such as physical methods such as setting up traps caught with adhesives, and chemical methods such as feeding bait or spraying liquid insecticides with a sprayer. It has been broken. Cockroaches are a problem, but there are challenges that are not easy to get rid of. In other words, indoor behavior using drugs such as poisonous bait and liquid insecticides is concerned about the toxicity of insecticides to humans, the odor that causes the nose due to the drugs is filled, and the flooring with the moisture and oil content of the drugs There is a problem that worries about dirtying the wall paper and furniture. In addition, when killing cockroaches, there is also a problem in whether the dead bodies can be recovered and cleaned up. At that time, it is difficult to collect the corpse if you die after escaping to the back of furniture without being killed immediately on the spot. Furthermore, when a cockroach is killed by compression, the body fluid of the cockroach is also a problem.

  By the way, instead of killing cockroaches, a method of using repellents to keep cockroaches away from indoors and outdoors where people live is also used. Even when repellents are used, there are concerns about the toxicity of repellent ingredients to humans, the filling of nauseous odors caused by drugs, and the contamination of flooring, wallpaper and furniture with drug moisture and oil. The point is the same as when using insecticides, but the repellent method is more persistent than the general method because it eliminates the unpleasant and annoying behavior of collecting cockroaches. popular.

  As a repellent material, chemical synthetic drugs such as DEET are widely used, but plant materials may be used. For example, it is well-known that Shirobanamushiyokeiku (commonly known as insecticide chrysanthemum) contains pyrethrin, an insecticidal component, in its ovule, but plants protect themselves from being eaten by animals. It may have an irritating odor component, a bitter component, a sour component, a pungent component, or an astringent component. As a result of this chemical defense by plants, certain insects may respond to certain plant materials. Many techniques for repelling cockroaches using plant materials such as light oil and hinokitiol have already been proposed. (Patent Document 1 proposes a technique using menthols as a cockroach repellent. Claim 4 proposes a thin cargo oil. In Patent Document 2, a hinokitiol and / or a hinokitiol derivative is used as a cockroach repellent. Technology has been proposed.)

  Patent Document 3 proposes a technique of using a herbal medicine herb as a cockroach repellent. Claim 1 is characterized by containing, as an active ingredient, at least one kind of herbal medicine and / or herbal extract selected from the group consisting of Sanshishi, Chikutsujinjin, Saishin, Goshitsu, Salamander, Mokutsu and Sankirai It is described as "cockroach repellent". In general, salamander, which is a herbal medicine, is made from the skin of the fruit of yam. Harvested ripe fruit on the tree until the surface of the skin becomes reddish brown, dried, cleaved, released seeds and removed, then the skin was finely ground with a stone mill etc. is there.

  Yam is also made from the peels of the fruit of the yam, which is a popular seasoning for the roasting of firewood. This is the harvest of the unripe fruit when the surface of the pericarp began to change from light green to reddish brown, and after drying and crushing and releasing the seeds, similar to the processing of the herbal medicine, The skin is finely ground with a stone mill. The peel of yam is used as a crude drug and a spice, but the seeds are removed from the raw materials processed into the herb and the spice and discarded.

  In the method of controlling cockroaches, there is a need for a repellent that does not cause toxicity to humans, does not fill the nose of smell, and does not stain flooring, wallpaper, or furniture.

  The seeds that remain after removing the pericarp from the yam fruit are usually discarded because they are not required for food. Therefore, we would like to provide a method for effectively using the seeds of the yam and reduce the amount of mischievous waste.

  Patent Document 3 uses a high-quality yam product that can be used in herbal medicine, that is, edible, as a cockroach repellent. However, this is considered to be over-reviewed and should be reviewed.

  When the present inventor searched for a plant material that cockroaches repel from among plant materials that are friendly to humans and do not feel uncomfortable, they found that the cockroach repels the dried seeds of yam.

  When producing herbal medicines and condiments from yam fruit, the seeds are sorted out from the raw materials and removed and discarded. This seed is used as a cockroach repellent.

  The present invention contributes to the remanufacturing of normally discarded yam seeds.

  The cockroach repellent made of yam has been made with herbal salamanders based on the technology of Patent Document 3 so far, but it can be provided at a lower cost by using the portion that is usually discarded as a raw material.

It is a schematic diagram of the manufacturing process of the cockroach repellent concerning this invention. It is a perspective view of the Example which has stored the cockroach repellent concerning this invention in the bowl-shaped container, and has kept it. The interior is shown through a portion of the container. This is a copy of the results table when the cockroach repellent test according to the present invention was conducted on June 27, 2018 at the Biebber Co., Ltd., while the famous cockroach repellent was compared. Same as above.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a manufacturing process of a cockroach repellent according to the present invention, and 1 is a fruit of yam. The fruit of the yam that is the raw material changes from light green to reddish brown when it is a ripe fruit that is ripe on the tree until the surface of the peel for producing herbal medicine turns reddish brown Although it may be an unripe fruit that is close to the beginning, it does not matter for the ability to repel cockroaches. Speaking of strength, ripe fruit seeds are more preferred.

  When dried, yam fruit shrinks itself and shatters to release seeds. Using this property, a person who manufactures a product using yam peel peels and dries for 24 to 48 hours after harvesting, and releases the seeds naturally to reduce the labor of removal processing.

  It is a manual operation to remove and discard the curd from the peel from which the seeds have been released. The cockroach repellent according to the present invention uses yam seeds, but it is no problem even if this fruit is mixed in the raw material of the cockroach repellent according to the present invention.

  Skins that are dirty with mud and are not suitable for edible use, such as crude drugs and condiments, are removed from the raw materials and discarded as having no commercial value. There is no problem even if this damaged skin is mixed in the raw material of the cockroach repellent according to the present invention. The use of Japanese persimmon peel as a cockroach repellent is related to the patent of Patent Document 3, but the right has already disappeared and is a known technique.

  The cockroach repellent according to the present invention is used after being placed in a cage-like or net-like breathable container. FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which the container is placed in a stationary container and placed at rest.

  In the production area and processing plant of yam products, the production of products using yam skin is constantly performed, and as a by-product, yam seeds are also produced, but this part is required for edible use. Usually it is discarded. By providing a method for processing the yam seeds into useful cockroach repellents according to the present invention, the amount of mischievous waste can be reduced, and the disposal problem can be eliminated, so the industrial applicability is high. It can be said.

1 The dried yam fruit harvested from the tree is dried. As the drying progresses, the fruit releases its seeds outside the skin.
2 Yam seeds 3 Fruit buds 4 Fruit peels (parts processed into herbal medicines and condiments)
5 Peeled skin that is not suitable for edible use because it is fouled, etc. 6 A cage or net-like breathable container
