Description

GLUE TRAP BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to glue traps for catching pests, such as insects, rodents and the like. Particularly, the glue trap of this invention is directed to the entrapment of cockroaches, which are known inhabitants of dark and confined spaces, and known carriers of various pathogenic bacteria, viruses, protozoa and parasitic worms. It is generally known that cockroach populations are becoming more and more difficult to control. It might seem that although the cockroach has become familiar with many of the existing traps, whether these are adhesive traps, the traps that support various baits and insecticides or other methods of entrapment, and thus the need has arisen for a trap that be more effective than the existing traps known in the art, in order to more successfully combat this plague nowadays. In consideration of the characteristics endemic to cockroaches, as well as the behavior of cockroaches as they approach, they enter REF: 24603 and try to escape from a trap, the inventor has come across a trap design which is particularly desirable for catching cockroaches, which includes a number of features that together provide a glue trap which is surprisingly effective and different from other well-known traps in the market. Glue traps, in general, are well known. The traps known in the art each provide various ways to improve the trapping of the target animal, whether they are cockroaches, rodents or the like. There are glue traps that have several gates, entrances and openings each placed or designed to attract or deceive the animal so that it enters the trap, where once it has entered, it is prevented that they escape in different ways. The glue trap of the present invention is provided with a unique corner design, so that the trap can be placed at a corner site to trap cockroaches and other similar crawling insects, which are added at the corner regions and at the confined spaces. For this reason, the trap of the present invention has been designed to be placed in areas most likely favored by cockroaches, such as the corner areas of a room, a cupboard, a shelf and / or the like, and is provided, among others. things, with a top opening in the corner, so that a cockroach that crawls down or along the walls of a corner, can be trapped. Various traps known in the art are provided with features to propel an insect into a trap for coupling with an adhesive or other means to prevent the insect from escaping. In US Pat. No. 4,608,774 to Sherman, a cockroach trap is provided having an opening or a conduit and a recess for retaining an attractant to induce a cockroach to enter the conduit. The conduit is provided with a sliding surface to improve downward travel of the insect towards the trap, once the insect is on the conduit or channel. In U.S. Patent No. 4,263,740 to Hemsarth, which refers to a crawler trap having an opening with a declination in a downward direction, a surface covered with a loose adherent particulate material, which is projected in avalanche when the insect tries to crawl out of the opening of the trap. In this trap, the insect is promoted to the trap to get to stick to the surface with glue below the opening. In the present invention, this concept is further taken, namely by providing a sliding or low friction surface around the periphery of the glue to prevent, for example, that a cockroach already adhered to the glue obtains a grip on the adjacent surfaces with its available appendages, in order to free itself from its coupling with the glue. In other words, instead of propelling the insect towards the glue, the sliding surface acts as a means to prevent the insect from escaping from the coupling with the glue. In order to further improve this aspect of the present invention, the packaging and folding of the trap provides a flange-free interior so that, for example, an insect is not able to use an edge or joint to pull itself away from the glue. . It has been surprisingly discovered that the use of the release paper as a means to provide such a sliding surface, further provides an appropriate surface for keeping the adhesive layer in position, preventing the exudation of the adhesive throughout the length of the trap, and allowing the adhesive is strategically placed on the surface of the trap. Various ways to attract vermin to glue traps are known. The type of attractant used is often specific to the type of animal for which the trap is designed. For example, extracts in a rotten manner are known as attractants for termites, as seen in U.S. Patent No. 3,070,495 (Esenther et al.) The use of pheromones in the control of pests is also well known, especially in the control of insect populations, which is why insect pheromones are used as attractants, based on the understanding of insect behavior and ecology. Of particular interest in one aspect of the present invention are aggregation pheromones, since they are widespread in insects, in some cockroaches and in many beetles, and the release behavior in the same species leads to an increase in population densities in the area of the source. There are, however, many difficulties associated with the use of insect pheromones, particularly the aggregation force. These difficulties include the identification and characterization of the pheromone, for example the aggregation pheromone of the cockroach species, Blatella germáni ca, which is documented to contain at least 150 different compounds. In addition, there are difficulties in maintaining the stability of such volatile hormones. In a dissertation, prepared by the inventor of the present invention, titled "Improvement of the Efficiency of Entomopathogenic Nematodes for the Control of the Eastern Underground Termite, of the Worm of the Root of Western Corn and of the German Cockroach", sent to the University of Temple in partial compliance with the requirements for the degree of PhD in Philosophy in January 1994, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, in order to successfully collect and utilize natural cockroach pheromone of the Bla tella Germáni ca species, as an attractor. A cockroach attractant that causes aggregation behavior within groups of cockroaches was first reported as associated with the feces of the German cockroach by Ishii and Kuwahara [1968].

In Ballard and Gold, Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society 51 [1], 1982, p. 86-90, the use of German cockroach feces was used as a bait selected in a sticky trap, in the evaluation of the German cockroach population. Other examples of attractants, specifically attractive bait cockroaches, the Germanic B species known in the art, include bread, yeast, banana, dog food, apple, grapes and potato.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a glue trap suitable for use in a corner or corner site having at least one top opening. A further objective of the present invention is to provide a glue trap having a combination of features that together provide an appropriate and more effective trap to attract and trap cockroaches. In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a glue trap package comprising a pair of glue traps for catching pests and the like, wherein the package has an integral connection between the pair of traps defined by the line of perforation or breaking strip, which facilitates the separation of the traps. In yet another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a glue trap for catching cockroaches and the like having, at least in an area surrounding the glue, a sliding surface to prevent a cockroach once trapped on the glue, being released . In a further embodiment of the present invention, a glue trap for trapping vermin and the like is provided, wherein the trap has internal surfaces which are substantially free of ridges. In yet another embodiment of the present invention, a three-dimensional glue trap for trapping vermin and the like is provided, in the form of a box-like structure, with open ends, wherein an additional opening or access is provided in a top region of the box-shaped structure, and on a side wall of the box-shaped structure, through which the vermin can enter the glue trap. In a further embodiment of the present invention, a blank or blank is provided to form a glue trap package or package, according to the invention, as described above. The additional features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and from the claims, read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITIES With reference to Figure 1, there is shown a glue trap package comprising two traps, a first trap 1, and a second trap 2, integrally connected by a perforation line 12 for breaking. In order to break the perforation 12 and thereby separate the traps 1 and 2, according to one aspect of the invention, the package is provided with a pair of upper flaps 15 in a region along the perforation line 12. To press or bend the flaps 15 downwards, the flaps 15 are separated in the perforation line 12, so that through the additional jig, the separation by starting of the traps 1 and 2 is more easily acquired. In the most preferred form of the present invention, a paper closure or release strip 26 is provided, as shown in Figures 6 and 7. The glue trap package of the present invention, when pulled to separate provides two traps, glue traps 1 and 2, each formed in the shape of a box-like structure, having a base 3, a pair of side walls, a first side wall 14 and a second side wall 13, a wall end 5, an upper part 6, and an open end 8 opposite the end wall 5, the region where the traps 1 and 2 are integrally connected. As seen in Figures 3 and 4, an adhesive layer 7 is formed on an inner surface of the base 3. The adhesive 7 is a non-drying adhesive, typically used in glue traps to trap insects and the like. It is considered that different degrees of "stickiness" could be used depending on the required resistance and the type of vermin caught. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sliding surface provided with a low friction liner 16 or the like, is on the inner surface of the base 3, at least in a region close to the adhesive layer 7. The liner 16 of low friction provides approximately a limit of 1.90 cm (3/4 inches), along at least the side of the adhesive 7, closer to the first side wall 14 and the open end 8 of the trap 1. In the traps of known glue, the adhesive is merely used to trap and hold the vermin. Frequently, however, the animal is able to free itself from the adhesive by contacting and holding a surface close to the adhesive, whereby a fastening with that surface is formed and consequently frees itself from the coupling with the adhesive. . It has been found that, by the provision of a sliding surface, for example, in the manner of a low friction liner 16 surrounding at least the adhesive 7, the ability to release by pull of the adhesive is substantially reduced. In the present invention, the low friction liner 16 is preferably a release paper layer or the like, although other means for providing a sliding surface may also be used. This type of paper, typically coated with silicone, is otherwise commonly used as a protective cover for adhesives, to prevent unwanted adhesions. It has surprisingly been found that such a release paper is not only suitable as a substantially low friction liner 16, capable of providing a "sliding" surface, but also provides an appropriate surface for adhesion of the adhesive forming the adhesive layer 7, keeping the adhesive in a desired position. The type of release paper or liner contemplated for such use, as already discussed, could be coated with silicone and is preferably selected from either a platinum catalyzed release liner or a tin-catalyzed release liner, although it should be understand that any similar linings could be used. These liners have a very low release level depending on the amount of silicone used. The most preferred release paper has a friction index of 30 grams.

Additionally, the internal surfaces juxtaposed to the adhesive layer 7 of the trap 1 are generally "ridge-free". In other words, as it will become clearer when the folded blank 46 is discussed in detail, the internal surfaces are substantially smooth, the trap 1 being constructed or folded in such a way that the internal surfaces juxtaposed with the adhesive layer 7 have a number reduced of edges. Again, this is designed to reduce the possibility of the cockroach or the like releasing itself from the adhesive when attached to an edge or surface. In Figure 5 it is noted that the trap 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is suitable for use at a corner site 20. The trap 1 is provided with a straight angled corner portion formed between the end wall 5. and the second side wall 13, allowing the trap to be adjusted or positioned to the adjacent walls of the corner site 20, in particular such that the walls 13 and 5 of the trap are contiguous with the walls of the corner 20. The portion of The angled straight corner of the trap is provided with an upper opening 10. A removable upper corner section 21 as seen in Figure 2, which when removed creates an upper opening 10, may also be provided, or the opening may be pre-cut (not shown). The upper opening 10 could preferably be placed on the layer of adhesive 7, such that the insect or the like, whether it is dragged under the walls of the corner 20 and / or the walls 5, 13 of the trap, will become unsuspectedly in contact with the adhesive 7 or crawling along the outer surface of the upper part 6 will fall through the upper opening 10 and will land hard within the adhesive 7, to become engaged within the trap 1. In an embodiment Further of the present invention, as illustrated in Figure 5, there is provided a three-dimensional trap having an open end 8, a side opening 18 provided in the first side wall 14, and an upper opening 10 through which it can enter to trap an insect or similar. In one form of the present invention, as seen in Figure 1, each of the traps 1 and 2 are activated by pulling the removable sections, provided by tear-off perforation lines 19 and 22, which define a removable lateral section. and a removable upper corner section 21, which when removed, provide openings 18 and 10, respectively. The removable side section 17 could preferably have a tongue 17a, so that the side section 17 is more easily removed. In yet another form of the present invention, there are no removable sections in at least the side wall of the trap, but rather lateral openings are provided by cut portions 42, when the package or shipping is formed as seen in Figures 1 and 7. In this embodiment, it is preferred that the package be protected by a plastic film or the like (not shown in the Figures), for example formed by heat sealing a plastic film wrapped around the package. This is also required when the upper opening 10 is pre-cut. In a further embodiment of the present invention, an attractant could preferably be used to improve the attractiveness of the glue trap. There are many attractants known in the art and depending on the type of animal that is caught, and any attractant could be used. In one embodiment of the present invention, the natural aggregation pheromone harvested from cockroaches of the Bl to tell a Germanic ca species is used to attract cockroaches of the same species to the glue trap. Preferably, a cellulose matrix could be used to collect and carry the pheromone, although any carrier loaded with the pheromone could also be used. Useful materials include wood chips or chips, or similar, filter paper, or cardboard. It has surprisingly been found that wood chips of Oriental White Pine variety, in particular, provide a stable attractant when loaded or impregnated with pheromone. It has been considered that the chopping of wood 9 loaded with the pheromone could be fixed to a surface of the trap, preferably the upper inner surface 25, as shown in Figures 1 and 3. The glue trap package could be formed from u panels? folding primordium 46. Primordium 46 is preferably made of flexible materials. Examples of materials used are recycled cardboard, and preferably solid unbleached sulphate board (S.U.S.). The cardboard S.U.S, which is not bleached, has a darkened interior of the trap. With other materials, at least one side, preferably the side that forms the internal surfaces of the trap 1, can be darkened when it is constructed. This is desirable to catch cockroaches, since they tend to inhabit dark environments. With reference to Figure 7, a blank having a first side wall panel 32, a base panel 35, a second side wall panel 29, and an upper panel 34, each forming respectively the first side wall 14, the base 3, the second side wall 13 and the top 6 of the traps 1 and 2. The blank is divided in half by a transverse, substantially linear perforation line 12, such that when the blank 46 is folded into shape of the trap package of the present invention observed in Figures 1 and 7, the perforation line 12 forms an integral connection between the traps 1 and 2. Each half of the first side wall panel 32 is provided with an internal upper portion 31 and an outer end portion 33. The first side wall panel 32 is divided and integrally connected to the base panel 35, through a first folding line 36, which runs substantially perpendicular to the perforation line. nsversal 12, along the full length of base 3, when the trap is formed. The first folding line 36 allows the first side wall panel 32 to be bent up and at right angles to the base panel 35, thereby forming the first side wall 14 for each of the traps 1 and 2. Protruding from one end of the base panel 35 is a first end wall panel 27, having a first inner top portion 28, and at the other end, a second end wall panel 38, having a second inner top portion 41. The first wall panel end 27 is integrally connected to the base panel 35 through a first extreme folding line 39, while the second end panel is connected to the base panel 35 through a second extreme folding line 40. The first and second folding lines end portions 39 and 40 run substantially parallel to the transverse perforation line 12, and allow the respective end wall panels 27 and 38 to be flexed in the direction of up and at right angles to the base panel 35, thereby forming the end wall 5 for each of the traps 1 and 2. A second side wall panel 29 depends on and is integrally connected to the opposite side of the base panel 35, a through a second folding line 37, which runs substantially parallel to the first folding line 36 of the first side wall panel 32. This second folding line 37 allows the second wall panel 29 to flex upwards at right angles to the base panel 35, providing the second side wall 13 of each of the traps 1 and 2. The second side wall panel 29 has on each of its halves, an outer end portion 30 similar to the outer end portion 33 on each side. half of the first side wall panel 32. The second side wall panel 29 is integrally connected to an upper panel 34, through an upper folding line 45, which runs substantially parallel to the first and second folding lines 36 and 37. When the second side wall panel 29 is bent upwardly forming the second side wall of each of the traps 1 and 2, the upper panel 34 is flexed at right angles to the second side wall panel 29, through the upper folding line 45, towards the first side wall 14, and is substantially parallel to the base panel 35. From this In this manner, an upper portion 6 is provided for each of the traps 1 and 2. To form the package of the present invention, after the blank 46 has been folded as described hereinabove, the outer end portions 30 and 33 of the first and second side wall panels 32 and 29, respectively, are folded over and adhered to the outer surface of the first and second end wall panels 27 and 38, which when flexed n form the end walls 5. The internal upper portions 28 and 41 on each of the first and second end wall panels 27 and 38, respectively, are likewise folded over and adhered to an inner surface of the upper panel 34, which forms a internal upper surface 25 of the trap. The upper inner portions 31 of the first side wall panel 32 are folded over and adhered to the inner upper surface 25 of the upper panel 34. It can therefore be observed that the number of edges on the inner surface of the trap are minimized, giving to trap its feature free of flanges. The portions that adhere to the internal surfaces of the traps 1 and 2 are only adhered to the upper panel 34 to achieve this. The edges are only on the top 6 of the traps, away from the glue. In the present invention, it is preferred that the first side wall panel 32, as seen in Figures 6 and 7, be provided with cut portions 42, creating the side openings 18.; however, a lateral section 17 removable by breaking, could be provided as shown in Figure la. Similarly, the upper panel 34 could be provided with a cut (not shown) creating the upper opening 10; however, removable corner section 21, removable could also be provided. If a removable corner section 21 is provided, as shown in Figure 6, a cut 44 is preferably provided, so that the removable section 21 is more easily removed. In other words, the upper opening 10 and the lateral opening 18 could both be cut out of the blank before the trap assembly, so that no removable sections are required. The friction lining 16 is adhered to the base panel 35 of the pyramid 46, however, although it is more preferably adhered by hot glue melting techniques, well known in the art. The liner 16 is also preferably adhered to the end wall panels 27 and 38, so that when the traps 1 and 2 are formed, the "sliding" surface surrounds at least three sides of the adhesive layer 7. As already discussed, the preferred liner type 16 is silicone release paper. The dimensions for the package or folded trap are preferably 6.35 x 19.24 x 2.54 cm (2H x 6 x 1 inch) (width x length x height) which when divided into use provides two traps with dimensions of 6.35 cm x 7.32 cm x 2.54 cm (2H x 3 x 1 inches) (width x length x height).

However, this may vary depending on the type of animal caught; it has been found that the above dimensions are the most appropriate for catching cockroaches which congregate at corner sites. Thus, it is evident that the invention provides a trap having a number of features which together provide a trap that is surprisingly more effective than other commercially available traps, as further evidenced by the following comparative table.

Example 1 A 76.2 x 30.48 x 30.48 cm (2.5 x 1.0 x 1.0 ft) tank (length x width x height) was coated with a white bed sheet to allow air to circulate in and through the tank. A food source such as laboratory food and a paper towel with water was provided on it, and was placed in the middle part of the tank. A cockroach nest or shelter was provided which housed approximately 30 cockroaches (2.5 g) in the form of a 500 ml plastic container or beaker, with a damp paper towel and covered with a lid for a week. By placing the cockroaches inside the container they were able to establish themselves in this environment. At the end of a week, the lid was removed and the guard was carefully placed in the middle part of the tank. This type of procedure closely simulates an environment infested with cockroaches, in the field. At this point, a trap was placed at each end of the tank. At one end a trap was placed according to the present invention, and at the other a trap of competition. In this way, the tests consist of competitive trials of two choices, each carried out three times. The type of sticky trap or with glue was randomized to prevent the possibility that the cockroaches were oriented towards a particular side of the tank. The results were calculated as the number of cockroaches adhered, and thus trapped in the traps after a period of one week, and were determined as a percentage of the total number of cockroaches introduced into the tank.

Results Discussion of the Results It was found that the traps of the present invention capture an approximate average of 3 to 4 times more cockroaches than the competing traps. It is therefore apparent that the glue trap of the present invention, which has especially, in combination, a frictionless boundary around the area proximal to the glue, and a stable attractant, together with other features described hereinabove, is very superior to the glue traps currently available in the market.

Example 2 The effectiveness of using a sliding surface proximate to the adhesive in the glue trap was tested. Twenty-five cockroaches were placed in a beaker (volume of approximately 100 ml) and allowed to acclimate for a period of about 5 minutes. The glass was then placed in a container, approximately 22.86 cm (9 inches) by 12.7 cm (5 inches) (length x width). A glue trap was then placed on one side of the container. The first glue trap or control trap had an adhesive layer that measured 3.81 cm (1.5 inch) in length and width. The glue was surrounded by a limit of 2.54 cm (1 inch) of cardboard to provide a uniform edge on all sides of the adhesive layer. After 5 minutes, the cockroaches were released from the vessel into the vessel. The number of cockroaches retained on the adhesive was then calculated. A second glue trap, identical to the first trap, was then tested, except for having a sliding surface that limits the adhesive layer, under the same protocol, as described above. Examples of ways to provide sliding surfaces include low friction liners such as silicone release paper, lubricants such as WD40, and petroleum distillates. The above procedure was replicated five times and the following results were obtained.

Results The percentage of cockroaches retained in the first trap was 44.0 ± 14.3%. The percentage of cockroaches retained in the second trap was 83.3 ± 9.4%.

Discussion The use of a sliding surface close to the adhesive layer in a glue trap, substantially increased the number of cockroaches retained on the adhesive. It is concluded therefore that. the cockroaches are less able to be released from the adhesive when a sliding surface limits the adhesive layer of the glue trap. While only one preferred embodiment of the invention has been described hereinabove, this is not limited thereto, and modifications may be made within the scope of the claims.

It is noted that in relation to this date, the best method known to the applicant to carry out the aforementioned invention, is that which is clear from the present description of the invention.
