Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a cockroach floor capable of manifesting controlling effects in a large area even by using a small amount of a repellent. CONSTITUTION:This cockroach floor is obtained by coating a grooved flooring material 1 with a mixture of a colorant with a repellent according to a wiping coloring coating method. Grooves 3 coated with the repellent and uncoated parts (other than the grooves) are alternately present on the floor. The sense of cockroaches is kept normal without saturation. The controlling function of the repellent is sufficiently manifested even in a large area. A small amount of the repellent is sufficiently used to reduce the cost.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cockroach floor for controlling cockroaches from floor materials.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, as a means for forming a cockroach floor, a method of impregnating a floor material with a repellent or a method of applying a mixture of a paint or an adhesive with a repellent to the entire floor is proposed. Has been done.

[0003]

By the way, in the case of a large area for a cockroach such as an actual room, if the repellent is formed on the entire surface of the floor material as in the conventional case, the sense of cockroach is saturated. Therefore, the control function of the repellent is reduced, which is practically ineffective. In this case, it is necessary to treat the repellent at a high concentration, which leads to cost increase and is impractical.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a cockroach floor capable of exhibiting a sufficient control effect in a large area even with a small amount of repellent. To provide.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is characterized in that a repellent is applied to a floor material 1 in a non-uniform manner.

[0006]

According to the present invention, since the repellent is applied to the floor material 1 unevenly, there is a place where the repellent is applied to the floor 2 and a place where the repellent is not applied. Unlike when the repellent is applied to the entire surface of the floor material, the sensation of the cockroach is maintained normally without being saturated. Therefore, the control function of the repellent can be exerted even in a large area, and the amount of the repellent can be small so that the cost can be reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this example, a cockroach floor in which a repellent (not shown) is unevenly applied to the surface of the grooved flooring 1 shown in FIG. 1 is exemplified. Examples of the repellent include plant essential oils such as peppermint oil, Japanese peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and hinoki oil, N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET), dimethyl phthalate, dityl phthalate, 2-ethyl-1,3-. Hexadiol or the like is used. Then, the repellent mixed with a colorant (generally called "colored stain" on the market) is used.

Here, as a means for applying the repellent nonuniformly, there is a method in which a plurality of grooves 3 are provided in the floor material 1 and wiping color coating is performed with a mixture of the repellent and the colorant. According to this method, areas (grooves 3) coated with the colorant mixture and areas not coated (portions of the floor material 1 excluding the grooves 3) are alternately formed on the surface of the floor material 1. By doing
The concentration distribution of the repellent becomes uneven, and unlike the case where the repellent is applied to the entire surface of the flooring 1, the sensation of cockroaches is not saturated and is normally maintained. Therefore, there is an advantage that it is not necessary to treat the repellent at a high concentration, the cost can be reduced, and a sufficient repellent effect can be exhibited even if the cockroach has a large area like an actual room. (Example) First, a 303 mm x 1818 mm flooring with a laminated plate is provided with three grooves 3 having a depth of 2 mm in the longitudinal direction,
A grooved floor material 1 was produced. Next, with respect to 100 parts of Natco paint stain type coloring agent Natco Grand Stain, D
A mixture containing 10 parts of EET (colorant mixture) was applied with a natural roll coater and wiped with a reverse roll coater (application amount: 20 g / m ² ). At this time, the colorant mixture in the groove 3 is not wiped and the flooring 1
The unevenness of the repellent concentration has occurred. After that, a polyurethane wood sealer, a polyurethane sanding sealer, and an aminoalkyd paint were applied to obtain a floor 2 shown in FIG. (Comparative Example) A floor material having no groove was prepared, and the same amount of the colorant mixture as that in the above-described example was applied to obtain a floor.

Next, as a test for investigating the repellent effect of the floor, as shown in FIG. 3, the floor 2 was constructed in a room of 3 m × 4 m, and the shelter 4 was installed in the peripheral part and the central part.
Water 5 and food 6 were installed respectively. Black Cockroach 20
When the animals were released and observed 5 days later, it was confirmed that they were repellent only in Examples.

[0010]

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, according to the present invention, the repellent is applied unevenly to the flooring material. Therefore, the concentration distribution of the repellent becomes uneven, and the cockroach sensation is not saturated and is normally maintained. By dripping, even a small amount of repellent can exert a sufficient control effect in a large area. As a result, the conventional high-concentration treatment of the repellent becomes unnecessary, the repellent effect can be enhanced at low cost, and the practicality is improved.
