Description

The present invention relates to a millipede prevention device for preventing unpleasant pests , in particular, Yanbartosaka millipede from entering the house.

Yanbaruto Saka Yasude is a millipede that was found in 1956 in Taiwan. In Japan, the first record of a large outbreak in Kitanakagusuku Village on the main island of Okinawa in 1983, the distribution of the main island of Okinawa expanded to almost the entire island by 1989. In Kagoshima Prefecture, it occurred frequently in Tokunoshima in 1991. The following year, in 1992, local outbreaks were also found in Amami City, Amami Oshima.
In 1999, outbreaks were confirmed in the entire Amami Archipelago except for Okinoerabu Island, and in the same year, outbreaks were also confirmed in Minato Kyushu and Chirancho, Minamikyushu City, Kagoshima Prefecture. In Kagoshima City, outbreaks were confirmed in the Yoshino area around 2002. Since then, frequent occurrences have occurred in Chirancho, Kabutocho and Yoshino areas.

  Millipedes are essentially humus soil and rot of plant residue, like earthworms, and their excreta are useful soil animals. It becomes a problem as the cause of train running disturbance.

  Twice a year (moving as a group), many houses in the foothills of the habitat, road drains, etc. are crowded at night, gathering on the walls, etc. As a result, the residents are extremely discomforted. In 1999, the Kagoshima Prefectural Yanbarto Saka Yasode Countermeasures Review Committee was organized, and in response to strong requests from local residents, prefectures and municipalities worked together to prevent distribution expansion and control. .

  There are municipalities that distribute drugs free of charge for controlling millipede, but there are places where the distribution of free drugs is stopped in municipalities with tight finances.

  There is a strong demand for repelling (invasion prevention) methods that do not use pesticides, because control with pesticides has an impact on the natural environment and rejection of control agents.

  In Patent Document 1, a pest control tool, a pest control material, and a pest control method for killing a millipede or the like as a pest have been proposed.

  In Patent Document 2, it is proposed to paralyze or kill a millipede or the like.

  There is a notion that Yanbaruto Saka Yasude is a creature that is difficult to extinct and therefore must live together. For symbiosis, it is necessary to prevent Yanbarto Saka Yasude from entering the house as a minimum. From such a point of view, a stainless steel plate (about 12 cm wide) is attached to the wall of a block or the like, and Yanbaruto Sakaidede is slid on the surface of the plate, or a drug is sprayed around the house.

  However, in the case of a stainless steel plate, it is necessary to always keep the surface clean, so that maintenance is troublesome and time-consuming. Also, the stainless steel plate was difficult to bend.

  Therefore, as shown in Patent Document 3, the present applicant has devised a millipede return device that can prevent a millipede, particularly a yanbartosakayasede, from entering the house without much effort. That is, it has a belt-like plane portion and a curved surface portion for returning the millipede provided along the upper edge of the belt-like plane portion, and the vertical portion of the belt-like plane portion extends along the horizontal direction. The back of the belt-like flat part is fixed to the wall surface extending along, and the millipede coming from below the wall surface rises over the lower edge of the belt-like flat part to the surface of the belt-like flat part, and the upper belt-like flat part edge He devised a millipede-returning tool that drops the millipede while rolling over the curved surface of the millipede return.

The millipede intrusion prevention device according to any one of claims 1 to 8, wherein the tape and the base sheet are wound in a roll state, and a necessary length is taken out during use.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the millipede intrusion prevention device has a conductive tape that is attached to the wall surface of the house (particularly the wall surface of the fabric foundation) along the ground, and the solar device is electrically attached to the tape. Connect and install in a sunny place. Solar devices enable the tape to be energized with low voltage and generate low frequency pulses.

  As a power source, solar devices are used in consideration of regulations and the environment. A solar device is installed in a sunny place, the voltage is set to a low voltage of 36 V or less, and a switching type (12 V, 24 V, 36 V can be selected by manually operating a voltage adjusting means such as a voltage adjusting knob. ) Is preferred.

A low frequency is also generated simultaneously with energization. For example, the frequency adjustment means, for example by adjusting the frequency adjustment knob, etc. manually, preferably selected appropriate frequency within the range of 30 H z~120 H z.

  In order to energize, a conductive tape, for example, a stainless steel tape is used. Preferably, a plurality of (for example, two) stainless steel tapes are used. In particular, it is preferable to use a tape having a smooth surface so that it can be easily applied to the uneven wall surface of the fabric foundation of the house.

  According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the wall surface of the fabric foundation of the house extending along the vertical direction is utilized so that the strip-shaped tape extends along the horizontal direction, and the back surface of the tape is directly or baseed on the wall surface. It is fixed indirectly via a sheet (for example, a mount). In this case, the millipede can be dropped to the ground while the millipede coming from below across the wall surface passes over the lower edge of the tape and faces the tape surface upward.

  Further, when the millipede rolls the tape surface upward, a conductive tape, preferably a stainless steel tape, is provided in order to give electrical stimulation to the millipede. Yanbaruto Saka Yasude is rounded with a little electrical stimulation. Therefore, even if the Yanbaruto Saka millipede does not slide off the tape and it is likely that it will pass through the tape, the Yanbarto Saka millipede can be reliably removed by applying electrical stimulation to the Yanbarto Saka millipede. . Since the main purpose is to prevent the invasion of Yanbarutosakasade, it is safe because it does not require a strong current and may be a weak current.

  Also, if an adhesive is provided on the back side of the tape or the back side of the base sheet (mounting paper) to which the tape is fixed, the tape and the base sheet (mounting board) are cut to a desired length, and the tape is removed with the adhesive. It can be easily fixed to the wall surface directly or via a base sheet (mounting paper). Therefore, even when the tape is arranged over the entire circumference of the outer wall surface of the cloth foundation of the house, the tape can be easily arranged over the entire circumference of the outer wall surface of the cloth foundation of the house, and the installation work does not take much time. It is easy to remove the tape from the wall surface as necessary.

  Also, if the tape and base sheet (mounting paper) of the millipede intrusion prevention device can be rolled and stored together, it is possible to store a very long tape and base sheet (mounting paper) before use. Simple and compact.

  1 and 2 show an embodiment in which a tape and a solar device of a millipede intrusion prevention device according to the present invention are installed in a house.

  In this embodiment, the millipede intrusion prevention device has one tape 10 and one solar device 18. The back surface of the tape 10 is fixed directly or through the base sheet 11 to the outer wall surface of the fabric base 16 extending in the vertical direction so that the tape 10 extends along the horizontal ground 12 around the fabric foundation 16 of the house 14. Then, a millipede coming from below the outer wall surface of the fabric foundation 16 will not go up the surface of the tape 10 beyond the lower edge of the tape 10 and further over the surface of the tape 10 beyond the upper edge of the tape 10. At the tape 10, the millipede is dropped by its own weight.

  Tape 10 is preferably made of a conductive material, particularly stainless steel. The reason for using stainless steel is that it has good conductivity, is easy to process, and is easy to cut and paste. If cutting and pasting is easy, workability is good.

  A solar device 18 that is electrically connected to the tape 10 is provided to provide electrical stimulation to the millipede that is about to pass through the tape 10.

Since the millipede is rounded by a little electrical stimulation, even if it is likely to pass through the tape 10, the millipede will be rounded by the electrical stimulation by the tape 10, and it will surely fall below the tape 10. fall into. Since electricity is passed through the tape 10 only to prevent the invasion of the Yanbarto Saka millipede, a strong current for the purpose of killing the Yanbarto Saka millipede is not required. The use of small solar device 18 is energized to select the desired low voltage below 36V by operating the voltage regulation knob 18d manually and manually by operating the frequency adjustment knob 18e 30 to 120 H z A desired low frequency is selected to generate a pulse.

  Moreover, an adhesive is provided on the back surface of the tape 10, and the tape 10 is fixed to the wall surface of the fabric foundation 16 directly or via the base sheet 11 with the adhesive. In particular, it is preferable that the tape 10 is arranged without a break over the entire circumference of the outer wall surface of the fabric foundation 16 of the house 14.

  In the solar device 18 shown in FIG. 3, the solar panel 18a and the control means 18b are mechanically connected to each other and fixed. The aforementioned knobs 18d and 18e are arranged on the control means 18b.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, two tapes 10a and 10b having the same width are fixed to one strip-shaped base sheet 11 (mounting paper) in parallel with each other. It is preferable that the base sheet 11 has a smooth surface so that it can be easily and reliably attached to the uneven wall surface of the fabric foundation of the house.

  In FIG. 5, the relationship between the two tapes 10 (10a and 10b) and the base sheet 11 is shown more specifically, and the upper tape 10a is wider than the lower tape 10b. It is getting bigger.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the tape 10 includes two tapes, that is, a wide tape 10a and a narrow tape 10b. The tape 10 before use is housed in a state of being wound in a roll together with a belt-like base sheet 11. In use, the tape 10 and the strip-shaped base sheet 11 wound in a roll shape are taken out by a necessary length and cut.

  7 and 8 show the solar panel 18a and the control means 18b of the solar device 18 more specifically. The solar panel 18a and the control means 18b are fixed to the frame 18c so as to have a predetermined installation angle. For example, first, the frame 18c is fixed to the outer wall surface of the house 14, and then the control means 18b is attached to the lower part of the frame 18c, and the solar panel 18a is set at an optimum position with respect to the sun rays while the frame 18c is set. Further, the solar panel 18a, the control means 18b, and the tape 10 are electrically connected by a conductive wire (not shown).

Experimental example

  FIG. 9 is a photograph showing an experimental example of the present invention.

  Based on the behavioral habits of Yanbaruto Sakasede, an experiment was conducted to confirm the effects of the millipede intrusion prevention device.

  In the experiment, the tape 10 (two tapes 10a and 10b having different widths) and the base sheet 11 shown in FIG. 6 were used.

  The surface of the two tapes 10a and 10b and the base sheet 11 is highly smooth, the width of the base sheet 12 is 10 cm, and the stainless steel tapes 10a and 10b are used as shown in FIG. Arranged in parallel. The back surface of the base sheet 11 was made sticky so that it could be easily constructed. Moreover, since the two tapes 10a and 10b and the base sheet 11 are mainly installed on the cloth foundation of the house, the decorativeness is also taken into consideration.

As a power source, a solar device 18 capable of energizing 36 V or less was used with an emphasis on safety. Since the energization alone in some cases is low repel effect, and the low frequency current at the same time 30 H z~120 H z is generated by a pulse. Thus, when a low voltage was applied in combination with a low frequency, the repelling effect was dramatically high.

  The tip of the millipede's toes are sharp and pointed, there is no sucker like a house fly, and when walking, there is nothing to catch on the toes. Therefore, if the surfaces of the tape 10 and the base sheet 11 are highly smooth, it is almost impossible to climb these surfaces. However, since the tape 10 and the base sheet 11 are installed on the cloth foundation 16 of the house, if dust or the like adheres as shown in FIG. In the case of accumulation, the surface of the base sheet 11 may be moved over the accumulated millipede.

In that case, however, the millipede that has passed the barrier of the base sheet 11 senses a low voltage (current) and a low frequency at the stainless steel conductive tape 10. In particular, when both the first barrier (lower) stainless steel tape 10b and the second barrier (upper) stainless steel tape 10a are touched simultaneously, the repelling effect is very remarkable, and the millipede is sure to give up the front of the body. Retreat or fall. If necessary, a stainless steel tape for the third barrier can be provided further upward, and if there is an individual that can pass therethrough, a stainless steel tape for the fourth barrier can be provided further upward to reliably prevent the penetration of the millipede. it can.

  In FIG. 9 (photo), the tape 10 and the base sheet 11 were set to a cloth-based board (in this test, a snowboard was used in place of the cloth foundation), and experiments were performed assuming various cases. . FIG. 9 (photograph) shows the state of one experiment. As shown on the left side of the photo, dust is attached to the bottom stainless steel tape 10b and the upper stainless steel tape 10a (mesh double-sided file) is attached. Each of the barrier tapes 10b and 10a can be climbed. In this experiment, there were zero individuals who climbed the two tapes 10a and 10b and passed completely.

  In FIG. 9, the lower part of the tape 10 is white. This is because the millipede has a habit of moving while swinging the front part of the body to the left and right, and this movement habit drops dust during movement. When all the dust is removed from the tape 10, the millipede is in a state where there is nothing to become a step on the tape 10.
