Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is based on an improvement in a method of trapping mogutu and a trap.

The present invention aims to utilize empty beverage cans, which are a source of pollution.
Developed a means to use as a mole trap,
No. 8120 and No. 5g-83441 have been filed as utility models. Since their main purpose was to recycle empty cans, they were unsatisfactory as mole traps. This invention eliminates the drawbacks of using empty cans and the drawbacks of conventional mole traps.Furthermore, as a means of attracting moles, we put earthworms' favorite food into the trap and collect the earthworms in the soil. They developed a new method of capturing them to attract them.

Conventional mole traps have a cylinder buried in the path of the mole, and once the mole enters the cylinder, it cannot come out. It is known that it is possible to attract moles by putting food inside their bodies, but moles feed on earthworms and insect larvae, which is difficult to procure and has not been possible.

This invention does not involve manually putting mole bait into the trap, but allows earthworms, which are moles' favorite food, to enter the trap by themselves.

Mills' favorite food is easy to obtain. Let's list some 40 practical types.

(II) Basically, there is bran. Dumplings made by adding wheat flour to rice bran emit an odor that attracts not only earthworms but also field mice. You can also get rid of brown rats using a mole trap. Powder of small rice bran and rice bran, Kaiko 0 @
Warmed foods strongly attract rats.

<h> Among those made from corn, earthworms love corn feed dregs and pulverized corn dregs. Corn feed baking powder is also good. This can be done by using livestock feed KA. It is produced as a product from the dust removal equipment in the corn feed manufacturing process, so it is inexpensive.

(c) Surplus sludge from activated sludge treatment at food processing plants is actually used for aquaculture. The soil before and after the trap can also be used as bait.You can put these earthworm baits into the trap as an attractant in any way you like, for example by putting them in a long and narrow breathable bag. You can either sprinkle the powdered bait on the adhesive layer on the bottom of the trap like a cockroach trap, or mix it up and apply it to the inner wall, or use the small hole in the ceiling of the main body as shown in Figure 1. It is left up to the ideas and ingenuity of the person implementing the project, such as incorporating it from scratch. As before, you can place the trap in the path of the mole that is known in advance, or in a position that is likely to become a path.

Next, the trapping device of the present invention, which is suitable for carrying out the above mole trapping method, will be described with reference to illustrated embodiments. The outline of the main body is a transparent or translucent tube made mainly of a polymer compound, with dimensions that allow moles to get in from either the front or back end, and a transparent or translucent tube with a small hole in the body that allows earthworms to get in there. The front and rear swinging lids, which are suspended from the front and rear ends of the tube L in a horizontal position and open inwardly but not outwardly, and the earthworm attractant J placed inside the tube are attached. This is a mogutsu trap characterized by the following features: In the diagram, E indicates the ground surface, and H indicates the nine-passage hole made by the mole.

Moles have extremely sensitive senses of touch and smell, so if a trap is set up in a passageway, they will first use their sense of smell to detect the presence of a foreign object, and then use their sense of touch to confirm safety. The reasons why traps using empty cans have poor catching results include the metallic odor, the odor of metal oxides, the temperature, thermal conductivity, and texture of the metal plate, and the sharp cut of the cutout plate used for the lid. This is thought to be because it makes the moles feel like a foreign body and makes them wary.

As the polymer compound, transparent or translucent moldable synthetic polymer compounds such as polyethylene, vinyl chloride, polystyrene, polycarbonate, and acrylonitrile can be used. This material is most suitable for this purpose because it does not give any discomfort to moles, and in particular, the base material, in which carbon 9 powder (added to improve weather resistance) is added to polyethylene, is transparent and substantially odorless. It would be even better if the lid was made of the same material. Furthermore, earthworms have a unique sense of smell for their favorite food, and will crawl to their favorite food, but they dislike the smell of gold. Also, rust-maru iron has iron bacteria attached to it, but earthworms also dislike this bacteria. In other words, the metal trap played a role in driving away earthworms, which were food for moles.

In this example, the main body 1 was made of a type 2 polyethylene constricted pipe (hard), a 11/2' standard pipe, an outer diameter of 48-1, an inner diameter of 42 cm, and a thickness of 3 cm, with a length of 250 cm. In other words, 16 pieces can be made using commercially available 4m standard pipes. The actual diameter (thickness) of the mole is 30
~35-, and if hair is added, it is 40-45-. Since moles do not like holes that are too large, this embodiment with an inner diameter of 42+all is optimal, and the processing cost is low because it only involves cutting a commercially available product and drilling the hole. It is only necessary to make several small holes here and there for the earthworms to enter, and four bearing holes S for receiving the hanging shaft 6 of the swinging lid on both shoulders.

The swinging lid is hung on the left and right sides as shown in the embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 4.
6 and can be opened to the position indicated by the dashed line -' in FIG. 1, as well as in the form of a hanging flap, as shown in the embodiments shown in FIGS. S to 1°. No. S.

In the case of the one in Figure 6, when the mole eats only the earthworms near the entrance and tries to go back, the lower end 4 of the mole that lost its lid gets stuck in the back of the worm, so it has no choice but to explain why. 1st
The one in figure #s is an example in which the lower end of the lid is similarly removed, but a round hole is made in the center to reduce the sense of closure. Section 9.1
The one in Figure 0 doesn't look like a separation layer, but instead takes the shape of a fist to prevent retreat. A mirror 1 is attached to the lower inner surface 4, and a panel is attached to the upper part so that the lid 1 can be closed by both gravity and a spring. In addition to these four sides, the swingable JiJ may be a member that is lowered from the main body and that opens inward but does not open outward, and is left to the designer's ingenuity. To attach the lid to the main body I, elastically deform the cap or main body and insert the hanging sand shaft 6 into the shaft hole! All you have to do is t.

Next, the advantages of the auxiliary J11 device of this invention can be summarized as follows.

(a) It has an extremely simple structure and is inexpensive if commercially available plastic pipes are used, making it suitable for use by many good households.

Ch) Because it is transparent or semi-transparent, it looks the same color as the surrounding soil, and there is no sense of color discomfort. Since both ends are open, there is no feeling that the passage is blocked. It is especially effective for field mice, which have excellent eyesight.

(e) Plastic is gold 11! In contrast, it is soft to the touch, not cold, and there is no risk of damaging the mole's nails or skin, so it does not cause alarm. It is also advantageous that the inner surface of the polyethylene pipe is generally rough.

(d) Plastic is highly elastic and will not crack or deform even if it is accidentally hit by a bond during burying it in the soil. It is durable even in the soil, so it can be used repeatedly semi-permanently.

(-) Since there are small holes in the main body where earthworms can get trapped, earthworms in the soil around the outer periphery of the main body can enter the main body by the shortest distance. The small hole gives off the smell of the attractant to the grazing, and earthworms flock to the grazing opening.

As shown in Figure 1, the trap is usually set up in the mole passageway HK near the ground surface EK, but since the main body L is transparent or semi-transparent, it is difficult to see whether moles can be removed just by moving the soil on the ground surface E to the side. can be seen, and there is no need to dig out and look like in the past.
