Description

System, agent, device and method for neutralizing slugs and snails
Technical field The present invention relates to a system, an agent, a device and a method for incapacitating slugs and snails according to the preambles of claims 1 and 2 respectively, 8 and 12.
Background
The Spanish wood slug, Arion Lucitanicus, having its origin in Portugal and Spain can cause large damages in plantations in for example gardens, since it has no natural enemies in the relatively cool climate of northern Europe. Most likely it has been spread into Sweden with imported plants and/or imported soil, and because of its greedy ravages it is called "the killing slug". Also the domestic field slug can cause large damages in plantations.
Since slugs have caused much trouble for at least the last 10-20 years, mostly in the southern and middle part of Sweden, different attempts have been tried in order to take care of this problem. One way is to simply cut the slugs in two, another to first collecting them and thereafter pouring boiling water over the slugs or to pour salt on the slugs or put them in the freezer for a couple of days and nights, so that they die. Another method that is used is to spread out grains of iron phosphate on the ground, which causes the slugs to die upon contact, and examples of products are "Snigeleffekt" and "Snigelfritt". Further, garden owner have tried to capture slugs in different commercial traps or traps made by themselves. One way of attracting the slugs to the traps has been to use beer as attractant, the traps sometimes being constructed with the aim that the slugs or snails shall fall down and drown in the beer. When using traps with beer as attractant, the beer should be exchanged every third day in order to maintain the effect of the beer.
US 2002/0112396 Al discloses a slug or snail trap intended for capturing of especially Spanish wood slugs, wherein the trap comprises a container intended to be buried in the ground, which container thereafter is partly filled with a liquid such as weak beer, in which liquid the slugs are intended to be drowned.
In order to attract the slugs down into the liquid an attractant agent is placed in a holder situated above the surface of the liquid.
One problem with the above mentioned slug trap is that the liquid therein causes problems when emptying the trap.
Short description of the invention The problem with slugs or snails creating damages in plantations in for example gardens is solved according to the invention with a system, an agent, a device and a method for incapacitating slugs or snails according to the characterizing part of claim 1 and 2, respectively, 8 and 12.
One advantage attained with a system, an agent, a device and a method for incapacitating slugs or snails according to claim 1 and 2 respectively, 8 and 12 comprising the features that a flexible liquid container, placed on a tubular container support means, is arranged to receive attractant, liquid and a retaining agent containing hop, which prevents the slugs or snails to leave from the device, after that they have been trapped in the liquid container of the attractant and consumed liquid and the retaining agent mixed therein, is that the slugs or snails can be incapacitated, whereby damages on plantations are limited. Further is obtained the advantage that the incapacitated slugs or snails in a simple and hygienic way can be removed from the device without the liquid creating any troubles.
Short description of the drawings The invention will be illustrated more in detail below with reference to the attached drawings, on which:
Figure 1 schematically shows a device for incapacitating slugs or snails according to one embodiment of the invention, and
Figure 2 schematically shows a device for incapacitating slugs or snails according to a further embodiment of the invention.
Description of preferred embodiments
In the original specification is used the wording "sniglar" which covers both slugs and snails.
Figure 1 schematically shows a device for incapacitating snails according to one embodiment of the invention, wherein the device 2 comprises a container support means 4, a flexible liquid container 6 and a container screening means 8. The flexible liquid container 6 is preferably arranged as a bag, preferably of plastic, but the material can alternatively be any other liquid impermeable flexible material, such as for example impregnated paper. The container support means 4 is preferably stiff in a vertical direction Y but flexible sideways X, so that the container support means 4 can be folded up for transport, for example in an envelope, and so that the container support means 4 after the transport can be folded out in order to be a support for the liquid container 6, such as will be described more in detail below. The container support means 4 is thus preferably designed as a hollow cylinder without cover or bottom, but also alternative sectional forms such as square or rectangular, are possible for the container support means 4. A suitable material for the manufacture of the container support means 4 is for example plastic or impregnated carton, where the carton for example may be creped, which is cut to a band form, whereupon the ends of the band are connected with for example glue or by heat treatment in order to obtain the above mentioned cylindrical, square or rectangular tubular forms. Also stiff thick tubes may be used. The container screening means 8 is intended to prevent that liquid, such as rain or particles such as leaves end up in the flexible liquid container 6, and therefore the container screening means 8 is preferably manufactured from a stiff material, such as stiff plastic or impregnated carton. In order to be able to transport also the container screening means 8 in an envelope together with the rest of the device 2 the container screening means 8 is preferably flat, but may be provided with parts along which it can be folded up so that it goes into an envelope. Thanks to the fact that the container support means 4 and a container screening means 8 of the device 2 can be arranged foldable, such as has been mentioned above, they are easy to store, for example during the winter season, since these does not take up much space in folded up position. The container screening means 8 is mounted over the mouth 7 of the liquid container 6 in such a way that a gap 9 is formed between the container screening means 8 and the mouth 7 of the flexible liquid container 6 and the upper edge 5 of the container support means 4, respectively, through which gap slugs or snails may enter down into the liquid container 6. Preferably the container screening means 8 is mounted in the ground 11 in that the container screening means 8 is provided with spacer means 17, for example in the form of steel wires, which may be put down into the ground 11.
In order to make the slugs or snails to travel to the device 2 it should be loaded with an attractant 10. Further, the device should be loaded with a retaining agent 12, which prevents the slugs or snails from leaving the device 2, after having been lured down into the device 2 by the attractant 10. The agent for incapacitating slugs or snails thus comprises an attractant 10 and a retaining agent 12. The attractant 10 may be of many different kinds, which are known to attract slugs or snails, for example Spanish wood slugs, such as fruit aromas, root vegetable aromas, fungus aromas, vegetable aromas, plant aromas, meat aromas, fish aromas and shell fish aromas. The retaining agent 12 comprises at least hop, preferably because the attractant 12 contains killed brewer's yeast - preferably in the order of magnitude of at least
50 % by volume, which killed brewer's yeast contains hop. Hop contains bitter substances, among other humulon and lupulon, which gives hop a calming and soporific effect. The attractant 12 contains further possibly also at least one of hydrolyzed wheat, citric acid or maltodextrin, where the maltodextrin is added in order to prevent settling in liquid. It is also possible to add for example hydrated wheat, flour or sawdust as absorptive agent. The agent for incapacitating slugs or snails further has to be arranged in the liquid container in liquid form in order for the slugs or snails to be able to consume it, for which reason, if the above mentioned attractant 10 and retaining agent 12 is delivered in powder form to be able to be transported in an envelope, liquid 14 should also be added into the liquid container 6 when the device 2 is put into work. The liquid 14 may for example be water. The killed brewer's yeast may for example be derived from dried yeast slurry. Yeast slurry is a waste product from breweries, which is obtained when the brewer's yeast is exchanged, which normally takes place at about each fifth brewing. Normally the slurry is composted or alternatively is led out into the sewage system, but at large breweries part of the yeast slurry is dried, in which process the yeast cells dies, where after it is sold as a dietary additive for e.g. sheep, horses, pigs or cattle under the denomination feed yeast, for example "Mustang" feed yeast from Spannex AB or "Protect"® feed yeast from Lactamin AB, possibly with an addition of certain substances. The ratio powder - liquid is preferably in the order of magnitude 0,5-3, more preferable about 1-2 table spoons (where one table spoon correspond to 15 ml) powder for 1 liter liquid in case the liquid consists of water.
As was mentioned above the retaining agent 12 is preferably derived from wastes from the hop cooking process in breweries. Because said hop cooking process continues for a number of hours the composition of hop resins differs from the composition existing in beer in that the retaining agent preferably contains more sparingly solvable hop resins. This in combination with that the content of hop is higher compared to in beer lead to that the retaining agent 12 may be active up to about fourteen days and nights before a new attractant 14 needs to be placed in the liquid container 6. One example, which is only given as an indication of a possible hop content, is that the content of hop corresponds to 40 ml beaten hop cones for 1 liter liquid, such as water, that is a concentration which is higher than what slugs or snails want to consume. The use of waste from hop cooking will however cause the hop to have a bitter taste, which does not appeal to slugs or snails, wherefore a neutralizing agent 15, which is more effective than the malt used in beer, should be added. Suitable neutralizing agents 15 are for example milk and whey, which preferably is added in the form of milk powder and whey powder, respectively. By adding this suitable neutralizing agent 15 the bitter taste of the hop will be masked, which leads to that slugs and snails are made to consume the retaining agent 12.
As has been stated above preferably all parts of the device 2 and also the attractant 10 and the retaining agent 12 are transported in an envelope. Thus the device 2, attractant 10 in powder form and retaining agent 12 in powder form, is packaged preferably in an envelope at for example a wholesale dealer, whereupon it is posted to a final user. To final users using traps made by themselves is instead mailed only attractant 10 and retaining agent 12 in powder form, which may be placed in a flexible liquid container 6, in an envelope. When the final user have received the envelope, this is opened whereupon the container support means 4 and the liquid container 6 are placed according to what is shown in the figure in a excavation 19 in the ground in for example a garden, having problems with slugs or snails, or where the final user already has placed a container support means 4, the flexible liquid container 6 with the attractant 10 and the retaining agent 12 is placed in the container support means 4. Alternatively, the container support means 4 may be placed on the surface 11 of the ground, without making an excavation in the ground, or be placed on another surface 11 , such as a slab of stone. As has been mentioned above, the attractant 10 and the retaining agent 12 in powder form are preferably transported in the liquid container 6, which liquid container 6 preferably is a compostable plastic bag, which further simplifies the handling according to what is described more in detail below. Thereafter the final user places liquid 14, alternatively a mixture of attractant 10, retaining agent 12 and liquid, in the liquid container 6 and mounts the container screening means 8, which besides protection against for example falling rain and leaves, also help to spread the smell of the attractant 10 over the ground surface 16, and with that the device 2 is ready for use.
Tests have shown that slugs or snails can be tempted with an attractant 10 of the above mentioned kind, whereupon the slugs or snails crawls down into the liquid container and sitting on the inside of the liquid container 6 at the liquid surface 18 consume the liquid 14 and the retaining agent 12 mentioned above mixed into that, whereupon the slugs or snails after a certain time of consumption fall down into the liquid 14, wherein they drown. Accordingly, after a certain time of consumption of liquid 14 and the retaining agent 12 therein, they can no longer get up from the liquid container, and accordingly they have been incapacitated.
When the final user decides that a sufficient number of slugs or snails have been captured in the liquid container 6 and the liquid container 6 is a plastic bag intended to be thrown away with the garbage, the bottom 20 of the liquid container 6 may first be punctured with for example a sharp rod, resulting in that the liquid in the liquid container 6 will flow into the ground 22, since the container support means 4 does not have a bottom, whereupon the liquid container 6 with the slugs or snails lying therein can be lifted out, tied up and thereafter be thrown with the garbage, whereby the problem with liquid spirits arising with the handling of traditional slug traps is avoided. If the liquid container 6 is made of a compostable material, however, it does not need to be punctured, since it is advantageous to put also the liquid into the compost.
Since the container support means 4 does not have a bottom there is no problems with soil falling into the same in connection with loading and/or emptying of the device 2, which might happen in case the upper edge of the container support means 4 lies substantially at the same height as the surrounding soil surface, when the container support means 4 has been dug into a hole in the ground.
Figure 2 schematically shows a device for incapacitating slugs or snails according to a further embodiment of the invention, which embodiment differs from the one shown in figure 1, in that the container support means 4 is provided with spacer means 19 for example in the form of spacer means 19 integrated with the container support means 4, which substitute the spacer means 17 shown in figure 1. Accordingly the container support means 4 according to this embodiment is provided with spacer means 19 and the device 2 comprises a container screening means 8 arranged to be mounted over the mouth 7 of the flexible liquid container 6 in such a way that a gap 9, through which slugs or snails can enter into the liquid container 6, is formed between the container screening means 8 and the mouth 7 of the flexible liquid container 6 and the upper edge 5 of the container support means 4, respectively. The flexible liquid container 6 is in this embodiment preferably provided with holes at its upper edge, whereby the liquid container 6 can be suspended on the spacer means 19 on the container support means 4 by placing the spacer means 19 in the holes.
The spacer means 17, 19 can for example have a substantially cylindrical, oval, rectangular or any other cross sectional form, and are preferably at least two.
As has been stated above the container support means 4 is preferably designed as a hollow cylinder without cover or bottom, but also alternative cross sectional forms such as square or rectangular form are possible for the container support means 4. Also a tube having a slit going all the way through the tube wall, which slit is arranged all the way from the top of the tube to its bottom, is comprised by the definition "cylindrical, square or rectangular tube formed shape".
