However, among the types of rats, the black rat is called a mouse along with the mouse and the rat, and is more intelligent than the mouse and the rat, and has high learning ability and ability to detect danger. In addition, the black rat is very cautious and takes a step on the adhesive sheet, or at the same time when the whiskers and the tip of the nose come into contact with the adhesive sheet, it senses an abnormality and takes an evacuation action. In particular, since dust, water, oil, etc. adhered to the sole of the foot, the adhesive strength was weak and it was easy to evacuate. In addition, parts with hair such as the abdomen were easily evacuated due to hair falling out or tearing. Therefore, when the part that comes into contact with the adhesive sheet is the sole of the foot or the part having hair, it is easy to evacuate, and it is difficult to catch the black rat with the mouse catching sheet disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3. It was.

In addition, as a result of diligent research on the characteristics of the black rat, the present inventor has found that it has a habit of running while moving its tail up, down, left and right for the purpose of maintaining balance when running in high places such as trees or in environments with poor footing. I found it. Furthermore, since the tail of the black rat is hairless and its tail length is almost the same as the body length, it was found that the evacuation rate from the adhesive sheet is reduced by adhering the tail.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a rat capture sheet capable of reliably adhering a tail by utilizing the habit of a black rat.

Therefore, the mouse capture sheet of the present invention is characterized by having a substrate coated with an adhesive and a plurality of protrusions provided on the adhesive.

The second feature is that the substrate is formed with at least two folding lines for making the substrate foldable.

The present invention has the following excellent effects.
(1) Since multiple protrusions are provided on the adhesive, when the black rat passes over the mouse capture sheet while grasping the protrusions, the tail moved up, down, left and right to maintain equilibrium balance hits the adhesive. Can be touched.
(2) By adhering a hairless tail with many contact surfaces, it is possible to make it difficult for the black rat to evacuate from the rat capture sheet and improve the capture rate.

It is a perspective view which shows the mouse capture sheet which concerns on embodiment of this invention. (A) is a plan view and (B) is a side view which shows the mouse capture sheet which concerns on embodiment of this invention. FIG. 1 is a view taken along the line AA in FIG. It is a figure which compared the mouse capture rate by the conventional mouse capture sheet and the mouse capture sheet of this invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the mouse capture sheet according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. As shown in FIG. 1, the mouse capture sheet is composed of a rectangular substrate 1, an adhesive 2 applied to the upper surface of the substrate 1, and a plurality of protrusions 3 provided on the adhesive. ing. Each edge portion 11 of the substrate 1 is formed higher than the pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 in order to prevent the pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 from flowing out. The adhesive 2 is not applied to the edge portion 11, and the edge portion 11 is a non-applied portion. The edge portion 11 may be provided as needed. For example, the pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 may be applied to the entire upper surface of the substrate 1, and a plurality of protrusions 3 may be provided on the pressure-sensitive adhesive 2.

The material of the substrate 1 is not particularly limited, but various materials such as resin such as plastic, paper such as water resistant paper and coated balls, wood, and metal can be used, and the substrate 1 has a predetermined thickness. Any material that can hold a flat plate can be used. Further, although the substrate 1 is formed in a rectangular shape, it may be formed in a flat plate shape, and may be formed in any shape such as a circle or a triangle. As shown in FIG. 2, the substrate 1 is divided into three sections, a left surface portion 1a, a hinge portion 1b, and a right surface portion 1c, by two parallel creases 12a and 12b perpendicular to the long side direction. The substrate 1 is configured to be folded in half with the adhesive 2 inside.

The material of the pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, an acrylic-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, a silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, and a urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, and various materials can be used. Further, the pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 may be used in combination with an arbitrary attractant generally used for capturing small animals such as mice.

On the upper surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive 2, a plurality of protrusions 3 are erected in a sword-shaped shape. The protrusions 3 are conical cones having a height H of 5 mm to 8 mm, and as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of protrusions 3 are provided so that adjacent protrusions 3 have a distance W of 15 mm. The protrusion 3 may be, for example, a pyramid, a cylinder, a prism such as a prism, in addition to the illustrated cone, and is formed in a long axis shape so that the tip of the protrusion can be grasped by a black rat with a foot. The material and shape are not particularly limited. The significance of providing the protrusion 3 is that the black rat is passed over the adhesive sheet in an unstable equilibrium balance, and the black rat is in a position to lower its tail when maintaining its posture. Therefore, in addition to making the heights H of the plurality of protrusions 3 uniform, the heights H of the plurality of protrusions 3 may be formed irregularly. In addition, the tail of the black rat has a root diameter of about 15 mm, and its shape gradually shrinks toward the tip of the tail. Therefore, by setting the distance W between the protrusions 3 to 15 mm, the tail protrudes. It is possible to bring the adhesive into contact with the adhesive 2 without hanging on the portion 3.

The arrangement of the plurality of protrusions 3 is not particularly limited, but as described above, since the substrate 1 is foldable, the protrusions 3 do not interfere with each other when the substrate 1 is folded. It is preferably arranged.

Next, an example of the mouse capture sheet according to the present invention will be described. In this example, in order to confirm the performance of the mouse capture sheet according to the present invention, a performance test was carried out at a site where the mouse was exterminated to compare the capture rate with the conventional mouse capture sheet (conventional product). Specifically, with the cooperation of the store that was actually damaged by the mouse, the mouse capture sheet was installed in the mouse passage, the installation location was photographed for a predetermined time with a fixed point camera, and the mouse capture sheet was stepped on. The capture rate was calculated from the number and the number captured. As the conventional product, a commercially available product was used. The shape of the commercially available product is simply a rectangular pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having an adhesive layer, and the mouse capture sheet according to the present invention used the mouse capture sheet shown in FIG. The results are shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, the conventional product has a TOTAL capture rate of 49.3%. On the other hand, the mouse capture sheet according to the present invention obtained a result that the TOTAL capture rate was 100%. Therefore, it can be seen that the mouse capture sheet according to the present invention has an improved capture rate as compared with the conventional product.

In addition, the process of capturing a mouse by the mouse capture sheet of the present invention will be described. The mouse grabs the tip 3a of the protrusion 3 with a foot and passes over the mouse capture sheet. At that time, the posture becomes unstable due to the bad feet, so to keep the balance, move the tail up, down, left and right. At that time, the tip of the tail goes down and enters between the protrusions 3 and comes into contact with the surface of the adhesive 2. Therefore, even if dust, water, oil, or the like adheres to the mouse's feet, it is possible to reliably capture the mouse. In addition, even a vigilant black rat sticks its tail before its feet and whiskers come into contact with the adhesive 2, so even if the black rat feels an abnormality and takes an evacuation action, it will still be with the adhesive 2. By adhering a hairless tail with many contact surfaces, it is possible to make it impossible to retract the tail by hair removal.
