Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mite capture detection sheet. More specifically, the present invention relates to a tick capture detection sheet for detecting the presence or absence of a tick that lives in a room or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Mites are well known as so-called sanitary pests, which not only transmit infectious diseases, but also cause severe itching and discomfort due to blood sucking, biting, parasitism, etc.
Causes physical or mental distress to humans. Also, in recent years, it has been said that mite droppings, dead bodies, and the like are allergic sources that cause asthma in children and the like, and have attracted much attention.

[0003] On the other hand, with the recent technological progress, the housing environment has been improved, particularly the airtightness of the room has been improved, and a comfortable environment has been provided. In addition, carpets and the like are often laid indoors, and as a result, a convenient environment for mites to live in is created, and the current situation is to increase the proliferation of mites. Is a major problem.

[0004] The mites that cause such problems are not only small, but also prefer to live in small gaps where dust tends to accumulate, such as tatami or carpet weaves, and it is difficult to easily detect the presence of the mites with the naked eye. is there. Also, it is very troublesome to observe the mites for a long time by carefully observing them with the naked eye or a magnifying glass.

In order to solve these problems, various methods have been developed. For example, the mites are captured on an adhesive sheet impregnated with a coloring component that reacts with the bodily fluid of the mites, and the bodily fluids of the mites that are extruded and spread on the adhesive surface are extruded by crushing the captured mites. And reacting the coloring component with the coloring component, or putting the garbage sucked by a vacuum cleaner into a solution in which the coloring component reacting with the body fluid of the tick to dissolve the coloring component and reacting the body fluid of the tick with the coloring component and so on.

However, there is a problem that these coloring components react with human dandruff, fallen-off epidermis, food debris, and the like to develop color and detect mites even in the absence of mites. .

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional example, and has as its object to effectively capture ticks and to reliably and easily detect the presence or absence of ticks. .

[0008]

According to the present invention, there is provided a tick capture detecting sheet according to the present invention, wherein a large number of tick capturing portions provided with an adhesive are formed on a sheet-like base material inside a protrusion having a lower opening. A sheet-like spacer member having a large number of holes is provided on the lower surface of the base material.

In particular, it is preferable to use a net-shaped woven fabric or cloth for the spacer member.

[0010] It is preferable that at least the inner surface of the projection or the adhesive is colored, and it is desirable that a tick attracting substance for attracting mites is disposed in the tick capturing portion.

Further, an antistatic treatment may be applied to the inner surface of the substrate.

[0012]

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a tick capture detection sheet A according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is an exploded plan view of the tick capture detection sheet A. FIG.

The tick capture detection sheet A is a sheet-like spacer member 20 having a large number of holes 21 on the back surface of a sheet-like base material 10 on which a large number of tick capture portions 11 for capturing mites are formed. The layers 30 are attached to each other.

The tick catching section 11 is formed by integrally forming a mountain-shaped projection 12 having a lower opening on a sheet-shaped substrate 10 such as paper or a plastic sheet. At the tip, an adhesive 13 for capturing mites is provided. As the pressure-sensitive adhesive 13, for example, various pressure-sensitive adhesives 13 such as an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive and a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive can be used.
It is preferable to use one that has a small effect on the mites' trapping property, and it is particularly desirable to use a rubber-based adhesive in order to effectively capture the mites.

Although the size of the projection 12 is not particularly limited, ticks prefer small gaps and corners.
If the size is too large, it is not effective. If the size is too small, the adhesive 13 may not be provided.

Near the center of the surface of the adhesive 13, a mite attracting substance 14 for attracting mites is arranged.
The mites are attracted to the tick attractant 14 and are easily captured by the tick capturing unit 11. This tick attractant 1
No particular limitation is imposed on 4 as long as it is a substance that can attract mites, and a dietary attractant, a pheromone attractant, or the like can be used. Dietary attractants include, for example, cheese, dried yeast, powdered feed, litter powder, and the like. These dietary attractants have an effect of fixing attracted mites and are particularly effective. Among them, the use of a water-extracted substance of dried yeast is more preferable because it can effectively attract mites. In this case, it is desirable to mix a moisturizing component such as glycerin in order to prevent a reduction in the attraction effect due to evaporation of water.
Further, if the tick attracting substance 13 is arranged on the inner surface near the opening of the projection 12, it is more effective.

Further, the protrusion 1 forming the tick capturing portion 11
The inner surface of 2 is colored, such as black or vermilion, so that ticks captured by the adhesive 13 can be easily identified. Therefore, it is preferable that the adhesive 13 is transparent so that the coloring behind can be recognized through the adhesive 13. However, when the adhesive 13 is not transparent, the adhesive 13 is used.
It may be colored black or vermilion.

As the spacer member 20 on the lower surface of the substrate 10, for example, a net-shaped woven fabric or cloth such as a gauze having a large number of small holes 21 through which ticks can freely enter and exit is used. This spacer member 20 passes through a hole 21 opened in the spacer member 20 from the floor surface on which the tick capture detection sheet A such as a tatami mat or a carpet is installed,
This is to enable the mites to easily enter the tick capturing section 11. Therefore, the spacer member 20 is not limited to a net-shaped woven fabric or cloth. However, if a net-shaped woven fabric or the like is used, the tick easily propagates along the yarn woven into the woven cloth or cloth, and the protrusions are easily formed. Tick capture unit 1 through 12 openings
1 can invade. In addition, by using a net-shaped woven cloth or the like, the mites can move in the plane direction along the texture of the woven cloth or the cloth, so that the mites can be captured on the entire surface of the tick capture detection sheet A. , Which is more convenient.

The size of the hole 21 of the spacer member 20 does not necessarily have to be the same as the size of the opening of the projection 12, and is not particularly limited as long as the mites can enter and exit. Further, it may be large enough to cope with the openings of the plurality of projections 12. However, dust, dust and the like adhering to the tatami mats and the carpet may be removed from the holes 21.
It is preferable that the tick be as small as possible so that the mites can freely enter and exit so that the mites do not enter the tick capturing unit 11. Of course, many holes 21 are provided in the opening of one protrusion 12.
May be made to correspond.

The spacer member 20 is bonded by a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 having an appropriate tackiness so that the mites can be freely peeled off after being captured.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 also preferably has no repellency against mites, and from this point, it is desirable to use a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive. In addition, by selecting a material of the base material 10 and performing a heat treatment or the like, the spacer member 20 may be temporarily attached so that the spacer member 20 can be peeled off after capturing the mites.

The mite capture detection sheet A thus produced is placed on a tatami or carpet with the tick capture unit 11 facing upward, or on the floor, between the tatami and the carpet, or on the back of a sofa. It is placed in a place where mites easily live, such as a gap with the seat. The mite that lives in the room is attracted by the tick attracting substance 14, enters the tick capturing section 11 through the hole 21 of the spacer member 20, and is captured by the adhesive 13. Then, after capturing the mites, the spacer member 20 is peeled off, and the mites are observed from the back side of the mite capture detection sheet A.

In this mite capture detection sheet A, many mite-like corners are formed as mountain-like projections 12, so that the mites are more easily collected. Therefore, even a small number of ticks can be effectively captured, and indoor ticks can be reliably detected.

Further, the protrusion 1 forming the tick capturing portion 11
Since the inner surface of No. 2 or the adhesive 13 is colored such as black or vermilion, the ticks attached to the adhesive 13 are recognized as white, and the adhesion of the ticks can be easily confirmed.

Furthermore, if the hole 21 of the spacer member 20 is made small, dust and dust are less likely to enter, dust and dust do not adhere to the adhesive 13, and ticks can be more reliably identified. For this reason, if antistatic treatment is performed on the inner surface of the protrusion 12, dust and the like will cause the adhesive 1
3 will be less likely to adhere to it, making it easier to identify ticks. Needless to say, the substrate 10 is made of a material having a low chargeability.
Needless to say, may be manufactured.

In the above embodiment, the protrusion 12 forming the tick capturing portion 11 is formed in a mountain shape. However, as shown in FIG. It is formed by a corner part formed by the bottom surface (dot area in the figure, the same applies hereinafter), a corner part of a rectangular parallelepiped as shown in FIG. 4B, or two planes as shown in FIG. It has been experimentally confirmed that it easily gathers at the corners, and the shape is not particularly limited as long as the shape forms a corner formed by the planes. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the tick capturing portion 11 may be formed from the box-shaped protrusion 12, and although not shown, may be a columnar protrusion.

[0026]

As described above, the tick capture detection sheet of the present invention comprises a sheet-like substrate having a large number of tick capture portions provided with an adhesive inside a protrusion having a lower opening, and a lower surface of the substrate. In addition, since a sheet-shaped spacer member having a large number of holes is provided, the mites can be effectively captured by the tick capturing portion. For this reason, even a small number of ticks can be reliably detected.

When a net-shaped woven fabric or cloth is used as the spacer member, the ticks can easily enter the tick capturing portion from the holes in the weave portion of the woven fabric or fabric, and can be more effectively used. Can be captured.

At this time, if at least the inner surface of the protrusion or the adhesive is colored, the mites captured by the adhesive are observed in white, and the mites can be easily detected with the naked eye.

Further, since the tick attracting substance for attracting the mites is arranged in the tick capturing portion, more mites can be captured.

If at least the inner surfaces of the projections are subjected to an antistatic treatment, dust and dust adhering to the tatami mats and carpet do not adhere to the adhesive of the tick trapping portion, so that the mite can be easily identified. I can do it.
