Description

[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a tool for diagnosing the state of occurrence of pests, wood-destroying fungi and the like generated under the floor of a house.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Since the soil surface appears as it is under the floor of a normal house, termites that invade from the ground damage the house, or unpleasant pests such as crested horses and centipedes and sanitary pests such as cockroaches propagate and cause unexpected damage There is. In addition, damage such as decay of the foundation occurs due to the occurrence of wood decay fungi.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the past, investigation of the presence or absence of pests and decaying fungi that occurred under the floor of the house was requested by a termite extermination contractor, and the investigator went directly under the floor and confirmed the occurrence status and the degree of damage, There was an inconvenience that other than the investigator did not know the degree. For this reason, in order to solve this inconvenience, methods such as taking a picture of the under floor or taking a picture with a video camera are considered to solve this inconvenience, but direct investigators and workers enter the floor for a long time. There remains a health and health problem that must be met.
The present invention is intended to provide a diagnostic tool that allows a client to make a visual judgment of a result only by an operator entering the floor under the floor once for installation.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The underfloor diagnostic box of the present invention is provided with an application surface of an adhesive for capturing insects and the like on the inner bottom surface of a box body having a cylindrical body whose ends are open at both ends, such as a triangle or a quadrangle. And an investigation piece for microorganisms such as wood-rotting fungi is attached to the side of the main body.
[0005]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The box body of the present invention may be a cylindrical body (tunnel-shaped) with both ends opened, and the end surface may be triangular, quadrangular, or kamaboko-shaped. preferable. As the material constituting the box body, a slightly thicker plastic sheet, a hard foamed plastic sheet, or the like can be used, but cardboard or cardboard is preferable from the viewpoint of economy.
For example, in the case of a cylindrical body having an end face triangle, the box body may be used by unfolding the bottom surface (bottom plate) inside the cylindrical body and developing it in use.
[0006]
An adhesive coating layer for capturing pests is provided on the inner bottom surface of the box body. The pressure-sensitive adhesive coated surface is covered with a peelable film or sheet such as release paper, and the peelable sheet is peeled off before use. A pest attractant may be placed on the pest trapping adhesive-coated surface as necessary.
The termite wood piece provided on the lower surface of the main body may be supplied in a state of being affixed in advance, but when assembling the main body, the wood piece is affixed to the adhesive surface that has been applied to the lower surface of the main body in advance, or It is good to stick to the main body with the applied adhesive. A release paper or the like is affixed to the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive surface in the same manner as the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive surface for capturing pests, etc.
In the same manner, a research piece such as a piece of wood decaying fungus is attached to the side of the box body. The investigation piece for decaying fungi may be attached to the bottom of the box body (grounding surface) as well as the termite wood piece, but it is usually about 2-5cm from the ground to distinguish it from the corrosive action caused by decaying fungi in the soil. It may be provided on the side surface of the upper box body.
[0007]
It is preferable to use a red pine board for the termite pieces. However, it is not limited to this, and other wood pieces may be used. If necessary, the piece of wood may be coated or impregnated with a termite-like substance. In addition, a plate-like body made of a termite-like substance such as foamed polystyrene may be used instead of a piece of wood.
As the investigation piece for wood decay fungi, wood pieces are usually used, but woody materials such as sawdust moldings may be used. The wood piece or the woody molded body may be impregnated with a bacterial culture solution or the like, if necessary.

【Example】
Hereinafter, although one Example of this invention is described according to drawing, this invention is not limited to this example.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a use state of the underfloor diagnostic box of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view from the opening end face side. As shown in the figure, the box body 1 is a triangular tunnel-shaped tubular body, and an application surface of the pest trapping adhesive 2 is provided on the inner surface of the bottom plate 11 of the box body 1 corresponding to the bottom of the triangle. A termite piece 3 is stuck to the back surface of 11, ie, the ground contact surface. And, on the side surface of the main body 1, the investigation piece 4 for decaying bacteria is adhered.
In use, the release paper 5 covering the surface of the pest trapping adhesive 2 shown in FIG. 2 is peeled off and the diagnostic box A is placed at a desired position in the floor.
[0009]
By locating one or several diagnostic boxes A under the floor of the house and leaving them for several days or months, it is possible to diagnose unpleasant pests such as slugs and starfish, and hygiene pests such as cockroaches that live under the floor. When the termite is trapped on the application surface of the adhesive 2 in the box A, the wood piece 3 on the bottom of the diagnostic box A is damaged by termites from the soil. In addition, when the floor is invaded by wood decaying fungi, the survey piece 4 attached to the side surface of the box body 1 is likely to be corroded by the wood decay fungus, etc. become.
A string or the like may be attached to the underfloor diagnostic box, if necessary, so that the investigator or the survey requester can draw out the floor with the string or the like after the end of the survey period.
[0010]
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state before the diagnostic box A is unfolded, and shows a state in which the bottom plate 11 of the box body 1 is folded into the body 1 from the center as shown in the figure. In the figure, 2a and 2b indicate pressure-sensitive adhesive layers for sticking termite wood pieces and rotting fungus investigation pieces, and 5a and 5b indicate release papers covering the pressure-sensitive adhesive surface.
As shown in FIG. 3, the termite wood pieces 3 and the rotting fungus investigation pieces 4 may be packaged in the box main body 1 and supplied to users or the like, or may be supplied separately from the main body 1.
[0011]
FIG. 4 shows an example in which the adhesive 2 is applied to the termite wood piece 3 or the rotting fungus investigation piece 4. In use, the release paper 5 attached to the surface of the adhesive 2 is peeled off and attached to the box body 1 as shown. In this case, the position where a termite piece or the like is pasted on the box body 1 may be printed and displayed in advance, but it may be pasted at an arbitrary position without displaying these.
In the example of FIGS. 1 to 3, one or two termite wood pieces and rotting fungus investigation pieces are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this example, and a plurality of pieces may be attached. Further, these pieces of wood may be detachably attached with a cellophane tape or the like without depending on the adhesive. In particular, in the case of the rot fungus investigation piece, it is possible to determine the presence or absence of bacteria by removing and promoting culture in the bacteria culture chamber.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
The underfloor diagnostic box of the present invention is easy to operate because the investigator or operator can enter the floor only once for installation or can be installed from outside the floor using a long bar or the like. It has advantages such as. In addition, since the survey results can be confirmed visually, it is easy to explain the damage status to the client, and the box body is made of paper, wood, etc., so it is easy to incinerate or corrode after use. It also has advantages such as environmental friendliness.
Usually, underfloor pests are affected by the temperature and humidity under the floor, measures such as underfloor ventilation and humidity control can be taken by knowing the types of pests that are generated or inhabited, the types of decaying fungi, and the like.
