Description

Insect trap

The present invention relates to a repeller, and more particularly, to a repeller that can attract and capture pests such as mosquitoes.

Recently, due to global warming and industrialization, pest populations such as flies and mosquitoes have increased significantly. These pests are a factor for transferring various pathogens and harmful bacteria, and infectious diseases such as malaria, dengue fever and Japanese encephalitis, which are transmitted by mosquitoes, are becoming a serious problem that threatens the health of the infected person.

In order to minimize the damage of such pests, pest control operations are carried out to reduce the number of pests, and these control operations are mainly performed on the habitats of pests such as farmland and forest land or residential areas of vast areas.

Such control methods include biological control using parasitic and predatory nemesis or pathogenic microorganisms, chemical control using physiologically active substances or insecticides, and mechanical and physical control using machinery or apparatus or light, temperature, color or sound waves. There is a way.

However, even if such a large-scale pest control work is carried out, it is only to reduce the population of pests, and it is very difficult to fundamentally prevent the introduction of pests in urban areas or residential areas because it is impossible to completely exterminate pests in the ecosystem. It's work.

On the other hand, in order to minimize the damage from pests introduced into the residential area, insect repellents may be installed in buildings such as houses to prevent pests from entering the houses. The method of killing by means of electric flapper, etc. is common.

However, when the fly or mosquitoes are treated using a conventional flapper, it remains unsanitary, leaving traces of carcasses or body fluids at the place where the pests sit, and when using insecticides, harmful ingredients contained in pesticides threaten human health. Its use is very limited in that it is a factor.

In addition, the attracting insect repeller using ultraviolet lamps as a means of attracting insects has a limitation that its utilization is significantly lowered during the day, and because it is fixedly installed in a specific place, it cannot exert an active insecticidal effect. There are inadequate disadvantages.

In addition, the electric flapper has the advantage of being able to handle the fly pests relatively easily by using a high voltage flowing through the wire, but the wire is exposed to the outside, the user may be electrocuted, and the user must find and handle the pest directly There is discomfort.

On the other hand, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0126439 (hereinafter referred to as "prior art document") has been proposed a hygienic electric insect repellent.

The conventional insect repellent disclosed in the prior art document is formed in the form of a tube in the form of an open front tube, the rear end is formed in the form of an open tube extending in the rear end of the tube, the concave portion narrowing toward the rear and A catch barrel communicating with the recess and forming an empty space therein; a corpse storage barrel communicating with the catch barrel and forming an empty space therein; It consists of a check filter to prevent escape.

Such conventional insect repellents can easily capture pests such as flies or mosquitoes through the insect canal, and sanitize the captured pests.

However, the conventional insect repellent disclosed in the prior art document has a problem in that it is inconvenient and cumbersome because the user of the insect repeller must find and handle the pests directly.
