DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cockroach eliminator, and more particularly to a cockroach eliminator capable of exterminating cockroaches without using a chemical which may harm humans.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is said that cockroaches are so viable that they can survive even if they eat human cloud fat, sputum, dirt, etc., and that they have a strong fertility. They are disliked by humans because they transmit pathogens, especially in restaurants and food manufacturing establishments. Conventionally, to eliminate cockroaches, once they are found, the cockroaches are eliminated by hitting with a fly, spraying insecticide, or setting a toxic agent on a place where cockroaches are likely to appear. In addition, generally, an assembled paper cockroach remover with an adhesive sheet is also known.

[0003]

However, the conventional extermination method of spraying or setting up a medicine may cause toxicity to humans and pets. Therefore, a medicine for exterminating cockroaches set in a corner of a room is required. There is a concern that infants may pick up or put in their mouth. Further, the conventional extermination method is not designed to attract cockroaches with an attractant such as pheromone or heat, and has a disadvantage that it is not very efficient.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cockroach eliminator that does not pose a danger to humans and pets, can effectively capture cockroaches, and is economically advantageous.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a body having at least an inclined surface portion which is inclined upward from the outside to the inside and a concave portion which is depressed from near the apex of the inclined surface portion. An opening is formed at the bottom of the concave portion, and the main body includes a removable adhesive sheet having an adhesive surface,
The adhesive surface is exposed to the opening when the adhesive sheet is accommodated in the main body, and constitutes a cockroach eliminator provided with a heater inside the main body. A cockroach pheromone may be attached to the inner surface of the main body.

However, when the heater is energized, the temperature of the cockroach eliminator rises and cockroaches can be attracted. The cockroach that has come up on the inclined surface falls through the opening at the bottom of the concave portion and is captured by the adhesive surface.
If a cockroach pheromone is adhered to the inner surface of the main body, cockroaches can be better attracted.

As the H ₄ , a lamp in which the bulb portion of the miniature lamp is black and emits heat without emitting light is used.
A 6 V DC is supplied from the C adapter to the heaters H _{1 to} H ₄ via the connector J. It should be noted that a known blinking lamp utilizing the action of a bimetal can be used as the miniature lamp so that an appropriate temperature can be maintained as much as possible. FIG. 2 shows an example in which four heaters are used. However, the number of heaters may be increased or decreased in consideration of power consumption and temperature for heat generation of the heaters to be used. Also, the heater is specially designed to use a known heater, for example,
A flat or elongated rod-shaped heater may be used. In this case, the position of the heater may be the extension 7
Placing it between a and the inclined surface portion 6 can effectively attract cockroaches. The power supply of the heater may be a commercial AC power supply.

A plurality of cockroach extermination devices shown in FIG. 1 can be used. In this case, each cockroach extermination device is provided with not only a power receiving terminal (connector J) but also other power supply lines so that a power supply line or a power supply becomes economical. If a connector for supplying power to the cockroach exterminator is provided, each cockroach exterminator can be connected in a potato vine type, which is convenient.
