Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a catching device for catching animals and its cover.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various traps have been developed as countermeasures against damage caused by eating of small animals such as rats in food warehouses. In addition, because there is a risk of being bitten in a habitat of toxic animals such as hubs, a special trap has been developed as a countermeasure against it. In Okinawa Prefecture, it has been reported that there are 300 cases of bite by a hub per year, and after bite, the aftereffects remain, and in some cases, death may occur if the treatment is bad. Thus, it is necessary to develop an appropriate trap according to the type of each trap animal.

In these traps, a bait for induction suitable for each captive animal is provided in a trapping container having an entrance, and a trap is set on the bait to catch the bait. FIG. 5 shows an example of a conventional hub catcher, which is actually used in various places in Okinawa Prefecture. (1) shows the overall appearance, (2) shows the state with the lid with the bait box removed, (3)
[Fig. 4] is a vertical cross-sectional view taken along the line AA.

In this trap, a metal net 41 is provided on the lower surface of a frame 40 of a short rectangular parallelepiped, and two soft nets 42a and 42b made of resin are stretched in a dogleg shape on the four side surfaces. Intrusion ports 43 are provided respectively. A lid 45 provided with a net-made bait box 44 is attached to the upper surface. In the bait box 44, a rat 46 serving as bait for the hub
Have been put in, and the food and water of the mouse 46 have been placed.

This catcher is installed at several places which are considered to be the passages of the hub. A hub passing through the vicinity of the catcher is invited by a rat 46, which is a bait, and pushes the space between the two soft nets 42a and 42b of the intrusion port 43 to spread it into the catcher. Since the nets 42a, 42b of the entrance 43 are provided in a dogleg shape, and the opening portion 47 is higher than the lower surface of the trap and is reversely inclined, it can go out of the trap. Instead, it can be captured live.

The hub, which is a reptile, has low intelligence unlike mammals such as a mouse, and therefore cannot search for the opening 47 and hit it to get out. Further, although the mouse 46 in the bait container 44 is tried to be eaten, the mouse 46 in the net cannot be eaten, so that it can continue to function as a bait for guiding other hubs and can capture a plurality of hubs. This trap has the entry ports 43 provided in four directions, and the hub can be guided from any direction. Further, since the entrance 43 and the bait box 44 are made of a net and can be easily sensed by the function of sensing food of the hub, such as sight, smell, temperature and vibration, the hub is guided. Cheap.

[0007]

As described above, various special-purpose traps have been conventionally developed by utilizing the characteristics of the trapped animals. However, the place to install these traps is in the shadow of one corner of the warehouse, or in the grass. You have to go and see what's inside. It is preferable to keep away from animals with a good sense of smell, such as mice, because it smells like humans, and it is dangerous to check easily for dangerous animals such as hubs. . If left unattended for a long period of time, there is a problem that the captive animals die of starvation and decay. In addition, there are many cases in which an animal that is not about to be caught is attracted by the food provided in the catcher, and the food is taken by the animal or the catcher is broken.

[0008] The technical problem of the present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and it is possible to reliably confirm whether or not the capture is performed at a position apart from the capture device, and others. The goal is to provide a cover for the capture device that will not be eaten by or destroyed by the animal.

Can be prevented. The animals to be excluded are those that can deprive the bait in the capture device 14, damage the net, etc., and in most cases are larger than the animals to be captured. For this reason, the distance between the horizontal grids 15 is adjusted to a width that does not allow the invasion of the animal to be eliminated.

Further, most animals, when trying to invade a gap or the like, invade from the head or mouth, and try to enter while keeping the head horizontal. For this reason, many animals can invade with their heads fairly flat. By using this feature and adjusting the distance between the horizontal lattices 15, only specific animals can be selectively invaded.

In addition, even for animals of the same size, the horizontal grid 15
Animals without hair such as reptiles can easily invade by applying adhesive or the like on the upper surface side of, and animals with hair such as mammals can get in because the hair will stick. Can be blocked.
