Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a capturer capable of surely and efficiently capturing moles. CONSTITUTION:One end of a cylindrical housing cylinder 1 having both opened ends (1a) and (1b) is provided with a door 3 openable and closable toward the inside. The other end of the housing cylinder 1 is detachably equipped with an air-permeable lid 2 in which wires 6 are stretched crosswise and aslant.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mole trap used to trap moles that live underground in fields and the like.

0002

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Moles belong to insectivores, live underground in fields, and use earthworms and the like as their food source. In order to secure this food, moles move freely underground in fields and other places. For this reason, tunnel-like cavities are formed underground in fields, etc., which seriously impede the growth of agricultural crops, and sometimes gnaw away at the roots, stems, etc. of agricultural crops, causing great damage to the crops. In order to prevent problems and damage caused by these moles, many methods and traps for trapping moles have been devised.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, conventional trapping methods and trapping using traps have not achieved much success, and the above-mentioned obstacles and damage to agricultural products have not been reduced. In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention aims to provide a mole trap that can reliably and efficiently capture moles, and to reduce damage and damage to agricultural crops caused by moles. That is.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, in the present invention, the mole trap is formed into a cylindrical shape with both ends open, and a storage tube provided with a door that can be opened and closed toward the inside at the opening at one end. The storage cylinder is constructed with a removable ventilated lid over an opening at the other end of the storage cylinder.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partially sectional perspective view of a mole trap according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front installation view of the mole trap.

As shown in FIG. 1, the storage cylinder 1 is formed into a hollow cylindrical shape, and has an opening 1a at one end and an opening 1b at the other end. The opening 1b is provided with a plate-shaped door 3, which is swingably supported by a shaft 3a horizontally fixed to the upper part of the storage tube 1, and covers almost the entire opening 1b. Further, a stopper pin 4 is fixed to the bottom of the storage tube 1 outside the door 3, thereby preventing the door 3 from opening outward. The lid 2 is formed into a hollow cylindrical shape with an inner diameter slightly longer than the outer diameter of the storage tube 1, and has an opening 2a at one end and an opening 2b at the other end. Wires 6 are stretched vertically, horizontally, and diagonally in the opening 2a to prevent moles from passing through and to form a vent 5 that allows ventilation. The lid 2 is attached to the storage cylinder 1 by inserting and fitting the opening 1a of the storage cylinder 1 into the opening 2b.

Next, a method of using the above-mentioned mole trap will be explained. As shown in Figure 2, the mole trap is
It is installed along a mole passage 9 underground 8 in a field, etc., but usually two mole passages 9 are placed along the same mole passage 9 with the lid 2 facing each other.
will be installed. Mole 7 goes back and forth through Mole Passage 9,
On the way, he comes across a mole trap, pushes open the door 3 of the mole trap, and enters into the storage tube 1. Here, in front of the mole 7, there is a lid 2 which prevents its advance by a wire 6, and this prevents the mole from moving forward. Moreover, since the door 3 is prevented from opening to the outside of the storage tube 1 by the stopper pin 4, the door 3 will not be opened by the action of the mole. As a result, the mole is captured in the storage tube 1. Moles sometimes die inside the storage tube 1, and this causes a death odor, which causes other moles to not approach the mole trap.However, a ventilation hole 5 was provided in the lid 2. As a result, this problem was resolved and moles could be captured more efficiently. After capturing the mole as described above, the mole trap is taken out from underground 8, the lid 2 is removed from the storage tube 1, and the mole inside the storage tube 1 is taken out. Please be sure to wash the mole thoroughly each time you capture it, and be sure to wear gloves when handling this mole trap.

[0008]

As described above, according to the present invention, a mole trap is provided with a storage tube which is formed into a cylindrical shape with openings at both ends, and has a door that can be opened and closed inward at the opening at one end. Since the opening at the other end of the storage tube is constructed with a removable ventilated lid, it is possible to capture moles reliably and efficiently, and as a result, damage to agricultural products caused by moles is reduced. It has the excellent effect of being able to
