Claims 1 / 1 page 2 CN 122249107 A Flying Pest Trapper Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a flying pest trap for attracting and trapping flying pests. Background Art

[0002] For the purpose of controlling flying pests such as small flies, various flying pest traps containing attractants are commercially available. In order to efficiently lure flying pests into the flying pest trap, it is necessary to work on the structure of the flying pest trap and the attractant used.

[0003] Conventionally, there are traps that provide a place for flying pests to stay by providing a square-shaped protrusion that protrudes upward toward the container (for example, see Patent Document 1). The trap of Patent Document 1 has an opening on the side of the protrusion for flying pests to enter, which can lure flying pests that gather and stay on the protrusion into the container from the opening.

[0004] In addition, the applicant has created a trap in which an attraction port for attracting flying pests is formed in the cover portion that closes the tray portion containing the agent, and an annular edge portion is formed in a manner that surrounds the attraction port (for example, see Patent Document 2). In the case of the trap of Patent Document 2, if a flying pest that is on the outer surface of the cover reaches a certain position on the annular edge, it is easy for it to invade the trap from the inlet along the annular edge. As a result, the flying pest falls to the tray and is captured.

[0008] Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-102262 Summary of the Invention

[0009] Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0010] In the trap of Patent Document 1, a protrusion is provided for flying pests to alight. This protrusion is formed by bulging a portion of the cover upwards and exposing it in a square shape. With such a square-shaped protrusion, even if flying pests alight here, they are easily alerted because it is exposed to the surroundings, and they may sense human presence or other cues and escape from the protrusion. Furthermore, in this trap, the protrusion and the opening provided on its side are not properly configured, and the distance between them is relatively large, so it is not easy for flying pests to move from the protrusion to the opening.

[0011] In the trap of Patent Document 2, an annular edge is formed to surround the attractant opening. This annular edge does not bulge out significantly, thus making it less likely to arouse the wariness of flying pests. Furthermore, the annular edge is positioned close to the attractant opening, allowing flying pests to easily move along the annular edge through the attractant opening and into the trap.

[0012] However, it is desirable to induce and capture not only flying pests that remain in the trap, but also flying pests that hover around it. However, the trap of Patent Document 1, due to its large exposed protrusion, arouses the wariness of flying pests, making it difficult to capture flying pests hovering around it. Even the trap of Patent Document 2, which improves upon this, still has room for further improvement. The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to provide a flying pest trap that can also effectively capture flying pests hovering around it. Instruction manual 1 / 14 pages 3 CN 122249107 A

[0013] Solution for solving the problem

[0014] Flying pests represented by small flies such as fruit flies, flea flies, black-winged fungus flies, mushroom flies, and moth flies have the habit of climbing against gravity (i.e., negative geotropism). Focusing on this habit, and considering whether it can be applied to flying pest traps, the present invention was conceived.

[0015] The flying pest trap of the present invention, which solves the above-mentioned problems, is characterized in that:

[0016] the flying pest trap for attracting and capturing flying pests comprises:

[0017] a cover portion having an attraction port for attracting the flying pests inward;

[0018] a tray portion for storing the flying pests that have invaded inward from the attraction port; and

[0019] an agent portion housed in the tray portion;

[0020] the cover portion having a cover portion and a side portion;

[0021] the cover portion having an annular raised portion for attracting the flying pests to the attraction port in a manner that follows the contour of the attraction port, and the side portion extending to or near the bottom surface of the tray portion such that the cover portion covers the tray portion.

[0022] According to the flying pest trap of this configuration, if a flying pest hovering around the trap reaches the side of the cover extending to the bottom of the tray or nearby, it will climb the side against gravity. Furthermore, if the flying pest reaches a position on the annular raised portion of the cover provided on the cover, it will easily invade the trap from the attractant opening along the annular raised portion. As a result, the flying pest falls onto the tray and is captured. Therefore, it can also capture flying pests hovering around the trap.

[0023] In the flying pest trap of the present invention,

[0024] preferably, a linear raised portion of the cover surface connected to the annular raised portion is provided on the cover.

[0025] According to the flying pest trap of this configuration, a linear raised portion of the cover surface connected to the annular raised portion is provided on the cover portion. Therefore, even if the flying pest remains at a position slightly away from the attractant opening, the flying pest will be induced to the annular raised portion along the linear raised portion of the cover surface. As a result, the possibility of the flying pest entering the trap from the attractant opening is increased, and it will fall to the tray portion and be captured.

[0026] In the flying pest trap of the present invention,

[0027] it is preferable that a linear raised portion of the side surface extending upward from the bottom surface of the tray portion or its vicinity is provided on the side surface portion.

[0028] According to the flying pest trap of this configuration,

[0029] the linear raised portion of the side surface extending upward from the bottom surface of the tray portion or its vicinity is provided on the side surface portion, thus the negative geotropism can be further improved in conjunction with the habit of moving along the linear raised portion of the side surface.

[0030] Next, the flying pest trap of the present invention, which solves the above-mentioned problems, is characterized in that,

[0031] the flying pest trap that attracts and captures flying pests comprises:

[0032] a cover portion having an attraction port for attracting the flying pests inward;

[0033] a tray portion for storing the flying pests that invade inward from the attraction port; and

[0034] an agent portion housed in the tray portion,

[0035] the cover portion having an annular ridge for attracting the flying pests towards the attraction port in a manner that follows the contour of the attraction port, and the lower end portion of the cover portion and the upper end portion of the tray portion are joined in such a manner that no step is formed between the cover portion and the tray portion.

[0036] Flying pests hovering around the trap will climb the outer surface of the tray part against gravity due to their habits, and climb towards the cover part by passing between the tray part and the cover part. According to the flying pest trap of this configuration, the lower end of the cover part and the upper end of the tray part are joined in such a way that no step is formed between the cover part and the tray part, so that flying pests can smoothly climb towards the cover part by passing between the tray part and the cover part. Furthermore, if the flying pest reaches a certain position of the annular ridge provided on the cover part, it is easy to invade the trap from the attraction port along the annular ridge part. As a result, the flying pest falls to the tray part and is captured. Therefore, it can also capture flying pests hovering around the trap.

[0037] In the flying pest trap of the present invention,

[0038] it is preferable that the linear ridge of the cover surface connected to the annular ridge part is provided on the cover part.

[0039] In the flying pest trap according to this configuration, a linear raised portion of the cover surface connected to the annular raised portion is provided on the cover portion. Therefore, even if the flying pest remains at a position slightly away from the attractant opening, the flying pest will be induced to the annular raised portion along the linear raised portion of the cover surface. As a result, the possibility of the flying pest entering the trap from the attractant opening is increased, and it will fall to the tray portion and be captured.

[0040] In the flying pest trap of the present invention,

[0041] it is preferable that a linear raised portion of the tray surface extending upward from the bottom surface of the tray portion or its vicinity is provided on the tray portion.

[0042] In the flying pest trap according to this configuration, a linear raised portion of the tray surface extending upward from the bottom surface of the tray portion or its vicinity is provided on the tray portion, thus further enhancing the negative geotropism in conjunction with the habit of moving along the linear raised portion of the tray surface.

[0043] In the flying pest trap of the present invention,

[0044] preferably the agent part contains a sweet flavoring as an attractant and a neonicotinoid insecticide as an insecticidal ingredient.

[0045] According to the flying pest trap of this configuration, the attractant component contained in the chemical part is a sweet flavoring, which can improve the aroma and fragrance, and is easy to use in the kitchen, for example. In addition, the insecticidal component contained in the chemical part is a neonicotinoid insecticide, which has low volatility, resulting in less repulsion by flying pests, and does not hinder the attractant effect of the sweet flavoring, thus achieving excellent pest trapping and killing effects.

[0057] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not intended to be limited by the embodiments described below and the configuration described in the drawings.

[0058] [First Embodiment]

[0059] <Overall Configuration>

[0060] FIG1 is a perspective view of the flying pest trap 1A according to the first embodiment. FIG2 is an exploded perspective view of the flying pest trap 1A according to the first embodiment. The flying pest trap 1A shown in Figure 1 is used to attract, capture, and control flying pests such as small flies in various environments such as residences, restaurants, factories, schools, and offices. As shown in Figure 2, the flying pest trap 1A has a tray part 2, a cover part 3, and a pesticide part 4.

[0061] <Tray part>

[0062] The tray part 2 shown in Figure 2 is integrally formed into a cup shape by using thermoplastic resin injection molding, vacuum molding, extrusion molding, blow molding, etc. The tray part 2 has a tray body 5 and an outwardly protruding flange part 6.

[0063] The tray body 5 is a cup-shaped container that stores flying pests (dead bodies) that enter the interior through the attraction ports 21 and 22 described later.The tray body 5 is configured to have a medicine receiving section 7 that can hold the medicine part 4 in a way that allows it to be inserted and removed. The medicine part 4 is provided at or near its inner bottom. Flying pests are attracted by the attractant component contained in the medicine held in the medicine part 4, and the flying pests are killed by the insecticidal component. The horizontal cross-section of the tray body 5 is configured to be rectangular, circular, or similar in a way that makes it easy to install in living spaces such as kitchens and living rooms, but it can also be amorphous.

[0064] The medicine receiving section 7 is provided with a configuration member 8 for positioning the medicine part 4 at approximately the center. In this embodiment, the sides of the medicine part 4 are restricted by four configuration members 8, so that the medicine part 4 is positioned at approximately the center of the medicine receiving section 7. After the medicine part 4 is assembled between the four configuration members 8, the medicine part 4 is fixed by attaching a fixing part (not shown) to the configuration member 8. It should be noted that, in fixing the medicine part 4, a rod-shaped component penetrating the center of the medicine part 4 or a clamp for holding the medicine part 4 can be used instead of the mounting component 8 and fixing parts.

[0065] The outward flange 6 is integrally provided on the tray body 5 for attaching and detaching the cover 3. The outward flange 6 extends outward in a horizontal direction from the upper edge of the tray body 5 and is formed to extend over the entire circumference of the tray body 5. In the new product state, a barrier film (not shown) formed by laminating an aluminum film and a resin film is attached to the outward flange 6, for example, so that the medicine receiving part 7 is sealed to prevent the medicine contained in the medicine part 4 from drying out. In use, the cover 3 is installed on the tray 2 with the barrier film peeled off from the outward flange 6 to expose the interior of the medicine receiving part 7.

[0066] A strip-shaped protrusion 9 for guiding flying pests to the pesticide section 4 is provided on the inner side of the tray body 5. In this embodiment, four strip-shaped protrusions 9 are provided at equal intervals on the inner side of the tray body 5. The dimensions of one strip-shaped protrusion 9 are set to a width of 3 to 10 mm, a thickness of 0.5 to 3 mm, and a length of approximately 10 to 30 mm. Each strip-shaped protrusion 9 is provided in the range from the outwardly protruding flange 6 to near the root of the placement member 8. The pesticide section 4 is configured to contact at least a portion of each strip-shaped protrusion 9. Flying pests that have invaded the interior of the flying pest trap 1A move along the strip-shaped protrusions 9 toward the downward-facing pesticide section 4. Then, the flying pests are killed by the insecticidal component contained in the pesticide. In this way, by providing the strip-shaped protrusions 9 on the inner side of the tray body 2 in advance, the captured flying pests can be reliably guided toward the pesticide section 4.

[0067] <Cover>

[0068] FIG3 shows the flying pest trap 1A of the first embodiment, (a) is a top view and (b) is a side view. As shown in FIG3 (a) and (b), the cover 3 is formed into an appearance shape that simulates a carousel by using injection molding, vacuum molding, bulging molding, blow molding and other methods of thermoplastic resin.The cover 3 has a cover 11 that covers the top of the tray 2 and a side portion 12 that covers the side of the tray 2.

[0069] <Cover>

[0070] The cover 11 is configured as a hollow structure that bulges upward in a hemispherical dome shape, covering the entire upper surface of the tray 2. The cover 11 introduces external air into the interior of the flying pest trap 1A through the attractant openings 21 and 22 described later, and allows the attractant component contained in the agent part 4 (see FIG2) to diffuse to the outside. In addition, the cover 11 ensures the necessary ventilation performance and prevents the agent part 4 of the agent receiving part 7 (see FIG2) contained in the tray 2 from being exposed.

[0071] <Side portion>

[0072] The side portion 12 is formed in a cylindrical shape, which can surround the tray 2 in a way that covers the entire side of the tray 2. The side portion 12 is integrally mounted vertically on the cover portion 11. When the cover portion 3 is installed on the tray portion 2 in a state where it can be used as a flying pest trap 1A, the lower end of the side portion 12 contacts (aggregates) or approaches the mounting surface S on which the tray portion 2 (flying pest trap 1A) is placed. In this way, the side portion 12 of the cover portion 3 extends to or near the bottom surface of the tray portion 2, so that the cover portion 3 covers the tray portion 2. It should be noted that Figure 3(b) illustrates a configuration where the lower end of the side portion 12 contacts the mounting surface S, extending the side portion 12 to the bottom surface of the tray portion 2. However, in the configuration where the lower end of the side portion 12 is close to the mounting surface S, extending the side portion 12 to near the bottom surface of the tray portion 2, the gap between the lower end of the side portion 12 and the mounting surface S is naturally set to a size that allows flying pests hovering on the mounting surface S to move smoothly on the side (outer peripheral surface) of the side portion 12.

[0073] Near the junction between the cover portion 11 and the side portion 12 in the cover portion 3, a locking portion 15 is provided that can engage with the outward flange portion 6 of the tray portion 2. In this example, a component having claws that can elastically engage with the outer peripheral edge of the outward flange portion 6 is used as the locking portion 15. Therefore, the cover portion 3 is placed over the tray portion 2, and the locking portion 15 of the cover portion 3 elastically engages with the outward flange portion 6 of the tray portion 2. This operation maintains the cover portion 3 in an assembled state on the tray portion 2. On the other hand, if a certain or greater separation force is applied between the tray portion 2 and the cover portion 3, the elastic engagement of the locking portion 15 is released, and the cover portion 3 can be removed relative to the tray portion 2. In this way, the cover portion 3 can be easily attached to and detached from the tray portion 2. It should be noted that the method of detachably attaching the cover portion 3 to the tray portion 2 is not limited to the above method. For example, the locking portion of the cover portion 3 relative to the outward flange portion 6 of the tray portion 2 may be screwed in.

[0074] <Attracting Portal>

[0075] As shown in Figures 3(a) and (b), a first attracting port 21 and a second attracting port 22 for attracting flying pests are provided on the hemispherical dome-shaped cover 11.

[0076] As shown in Figure 3(a), the first attracting port 21 is formed in the shape of a rocking horse at the midpoint between the vertex P of the cover 11 and the outer periphery where the diameter of the horizontal cross-section of the cover 11 is the largest. The first attracting port 21 is provided with multiple (4 in this example) at a predetermined angular interval (90° interval in this example) around the vertex P of the cover 11.

[0077] The second attracting port 22 is formed in the shape of a rounded triangle near the outer periphery where the diameter of the horizontal cross-section of the cover 11 is the largest. The second attractant opening 22 is arranged in multiples (4 in this example) around the vertex P of the cover 11, at a predetermined angular interval (90° interval in this example) in the circumferential direction of the cover 11, and at a predetermined angular phase (45° in this example) relative to the first attractant opening 21 in the circumferential direction of the cover 11.

[0078] It should be noted that the shape of the attractant openings 21 and 22 is not limited to a rocking horse shape or a triangular shape, and can be configured as any shape such as a flower shape, a circle shape, a quadrilateral shape, or a star shape. In addition, there is no particular limitation on the number and arrangement of the attractant openings 21 and 22, and the number and arrangement can be appropriately set so that the attractant component contained in the agent part 4 can be thoroughly diffused around the flying pest trap 1A. Instruction manual, page 5 / 14, CN 122249107 A

[0079] <Annular ridge>

[0080] As shown in Figures 3(a) and (b), a first annular ridge 31 is provided on the outer surface of the cover 11. The first annular ridge 31 is formed as a protrusion (ridge) that protrudes (raises) outward from the outer surface of the cover 11 in a manner that surrounds the first lure opening 21. In addition, a second annular ridge 32 is provided on the outer surface of the cover 11. The second annular ridge 32 is formed as a protrusion (ridge) that protrudes (raises) outward from the outer surface of the cover 11 in a manner that surrounds the second lure opening 22. Furthermore, a top annular protrusion 33 is provided on the outer surface of the cover portion 11. The top annular protrusion 33 is formed as a protrusion (protrusion) that protrudes (raises) outward in an annular shape around the periphery of the apex P of the cover portion 11.

[0081] <Linear protrusion>

[0082] A plurality of linear protrusions 41, 42, 43, 44, and 45 are provided on the outer surface of the cover portion 3.

[0083] The linear protrusions 41 and 42 are formed to extend radially outward from the outer periphery of the position (lower end position) where the diameter of the top annular protrusion 33 toward the horizontal cross-section of the cover portion 11 is the largest.

[0084] The linear ridge 41 (hereinafter referred to as "first cover linear ridge 41") is formed as a protrusion (ridge) that protrudes (raises) from the outer surface of the cover 11 in a manner that connects the first annular ridge 31 in the middle.

[0085] The linear ridge 42 (hereinafter referred to as "second cover linear ridge 42") is formed as a protrusion (ridge) that protrudes (raises) from the outer surface of the cover 11 in a manner that connects the second annular ridge 32 in the middle.

[0086] The linear ridge 43 (hereinafter referred to as "third cover linear ridge 43") is provided in a manner that connects the second annular ridge 32 to the first cover linear ridge 41. The third cover linear ridge 43 is formed as a protrusion (ridge) extending outward from the outer surface of the cover 11 in a downwardly curved state.

[0087] The linear ridge 44 (hereinafter referred to as "first side linear ridge 44") is provided to extend upward (directly upward or obliquely upward) from the bottom surface of the tray 2 on the outer surface of the side portion 12. In this example, the first side linear ridge 44 is formed as a protrusion (ridge) extending towards the lower end of the first cover linear ridge 41 in a vertical direction (up and down direction) from the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the side portion 12.

[0088] The linear ridge 45 (hereinafter referred to as "second side linear ridge 45") is provided to extend upward (directly upward or obliquely upward) from the bottom surface of the tray 2 on the outer surface of the side portion 12. In this example, the second side linear ridge 45 is formed as a protrusion (ridge) that extends vertically (up and down) continuously from the lower end of the second cover linear ridge 42, protruding (raising) the outer surface of the side portion 12.

[0089] The protrusion height of the annular ridges 31, 32 and the linear ridges 41~45 from the outer surface of the cover portion 3 is preferably 0.1~5mm, more preferably 1~3mm. When the protrusion height of the annular ridges 31, 32 and the linear ridges 41~45 from the outer surface of the cover portion 3 is less than 0.1mm, the protrusion is insufficient, so flying pests may deviate from the annular ridges 31, 32 and the linear ridges 41~45 during movement, and thus cannot be induced to the attraction openings 21, 22. When the protrusion height of the annular ridges 31, 32 and the linear ridges 41-45 from the outer surface of the cover 3 exceeds 5 mm, the distance from the protruding end of the annular ridges 31, 32 to the inner side of the attracting openings 21, 22 becomes larger. Therefore, even if flying pests approach the vicinity of the attracting openings 21, 22, they may not be able to move into the interior of the flying pest trap 1A.The width of the annular raised portions 31, 32 and the linear raised portions 41-45 is preferably 0.5-5 mm, more preferably 1-3 mm. If the width of the annular raised portions 31, 32 and the linear raised portions 41-45 is less than 0.5 mm, the width is insufficient, and flying pests may have difficulty alighting on the annular raised portions 31, 32 and the linear raised portions 41-45, thus failing to be induced to the attracting openings 21, 22. If the width of the annular raised portions 31, 32 and the linear raised portions 41-45 exceeds 5 mm, flying pests alighting on the annular raised portions 31, 32 and the linear raised portions 41-45 may easily remain in place, thus failing to be induced to the attracting openings 21, 22. It should be noted that the annular raised portions 31, 32 and the linear raised portions 41-45 can also be parts that have been chamfered or rounded at the corners. In this case, flying pests that remain on the outer surface of the cover portion 11 can easily cross the steps formed by the annular raised portions 31, 32 or the linear raised portions 41-45. Therefore, flying pests that are attracted to the area around the attractant openings 21, 22 are more likely to fall into the attractant openings 21, 22, which can improve the capture effect.

[0090] <Agent Section>

[0091] The agent section 4 provided on the tray portion 2 evaporates the attractant component contained in the impregnated agent to the outside to attract flying pests to the inside of the flying pest trap 1A, and kills the flying pests by allowing the attracted flying pests to come into contact with or ingest the insecticidal component contained in the agent. The agent section 4 can be configured, for example, as a component in which the agent is impregnated in an absorbent carrier. In this case, the carrier can be, for example, pulp nonwoven fabric or felt. To thicken the carrier, thin pulp nonwoven fabric or felt can be layered in multiple layers. For pulp nonwoven fabric or felt, in order to maintain the shape while efficiently absorbing the agent, a web can be formed on the surface by hydroentangling or embossing. Alternatively, instead of pulp nonwoven fabric or felt, the carrier of the agent part 4 can be made of a sponge, paper, fiber aggregate, etc., which can absorb liquid. Alternatively, the agent part 4 can be used as a component that mixes and solidifies the liquid attractant and insecticidal components into a gel-like form.

[0092] The agent contains an attractant for causing flying pests to invade the interior of the tray part 2, and an insecticide for killing the flying pests.

[0093] In the present invention, as the attractant, a substance containing a sweet flavoring is preferably used. As a sweet flavoring, for example, a substance containing vanillin-based flavorings can be cited. As a vanillin-based fragrance, for example, two or more substances selected from vanillin, ethyl vanillin, acetaldehyde ethyl vanillin acetal, vanillin acetate, ethyl vanillin isobutyrate, vanillin ethyl ketone, ethyl vanillate, ethyl vanillin propylene glycol acetal, methyl vanillate, vanillic acid, vanillin isobutyrate, butyl vanillate, vanillin 2,3-butanediol acetal, vanillin lactate, etc., can be used alone or in combination.Among these, vanillin and ethyl vanillin are preferred.

[0094] In addition, substances containing fragrance components from flying pest attractant plants can also be used as attractants. Examples of flying pest attractant plants include the genera *Nepenthes* and *Pitcher Plant* as carnivorous plants, *Araceae* plants in the subfamily Araceae as insect-pollinated flowers, *Tulipa* plants such as tulips, and *Jasminum* plants such as jasmine. Among these flying pest attractant plants, *Araceae* plants are preferred. It should be noted that *Araceae* plants are sometimes classified as *Araceae* plants. Here, in this specification, *Araceae* plants and *Araceae* plants are treated together as *Araceae* plants. If fragrance components from *Araceae* plants are used as attractants, flying pests will not be alarmed, and flying pests can be more reliably attracted and captured inside the flying pest trap 1A.

[0095] It should be noted that it can also be used in combination with other attractants. Other attractants that can be used in conjunction include vinegars such as balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar, brown rice vinegar, fermented rice vinegar, soy sauce vinegar, black vinegar, wine vinegar, jujube vinegar, red vinegar, persimmon vinegar, malt vinegar, purple sweet potato vinegar, and sugarcane vinegar; sugars such as granulated sugar, brown sugar, honey, liquid sugar, glucose, sucrose, maltose, triterpenoids, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, beet sugar, maple syrup, and trehalose; alcoholic beverages; fermented rice; fruits; processed fruit products; lactic acid products; fish and shellfish; processed fish and shellfish products; fish and shellfish extracts; meat; processed meat products; meat extracts; and condiments. Among these attractants, balsamic vinegar and triterpenoids are particularly effective at attracting flying pests, and therefore, when used in conjunction with aromatic components from plants that attract flying pests, they can exert a significant attractant effect.

[0096] Examples of insecticides include, for example, allethrin, propargyl, amitraz, pyrethrin, tetrafluorobenzyl, benzalkonium chloride, fenpropathrin, fenpropathrin, fenpropathrin, permethrin, cypermethrin, fenpropathrin, deltamethrin, bifenthrin, fenvalerate, cypermethrin, propargyl, methoxyfenozide, methoxyfenozide, propargyl, momfluorothrin, natural pyrethroids, pyrethroid extracts, and other pyrethroid compounds, carbaryl, 7 / 14 pages of the specification, CN 122249107 A Carbamate compounds such as methomyl, thiamethoxam, and thiamethoxam; organophosphate compounds such as fenitrothion, diazinon, malathion, pyridazine, prothioconazole, phoxim, chlorpyrifos, and dichlorvos; dioxazone compounds such as cockroach-killing compound; phenylpyrazole compounds such as fipronil; sulfonamide compounds such as sulfadiazine; neonicotinoid compounds such as fipronil and imidacloprid; and insect growth control compounds such as tebufenozide, tebufenozide, and pyriproxyfen. These can be used alone or in combination.Among these insecticides, dinotefuran, as a neonicotinoid compound, is a particularly preferred insecticide because its low volatility makes it less repellent by flying pests and it does not hinder the attraction of attractants.

[0097] In addition to the attractants and insecticides mentioned above, the agent may also contain moisturizing ingredients such as aliphatic polyols such as glycerin, sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, and thickening polysaccharides such as xanthan gum. In this case, the effect of the agent can be maintained for a long time. The agent is preferably adjusted to an appropriate concentration by purified water before use.

[0098] In the flying pest trap 1A shown in FIG1, which is constructed as described above, if a flying pest that is on the outer surface of the cover 11 reaches a certain position of the annular ridges 31 and 32, it will move along the annular ridges 31 and 32 due to its habits. Furthermore, if flying pests resting on the outer surface of the cover 11 reach the linear ridges 41, 42, and 43, they will move along these ridges due to their habits and be guided towards the annular ridges 31 and 32. If they reach a certain position on the annular ridges 31 and 32, they will move along them. Flying pests moving along the annular ridges 31 and 32 can easily invade the interior of the flying pest trap 1A through the attraction ports 21 and 22. Flying pests that have invaded the interior of the flying pest trap 1A through the attraction ports 21 and 22 are then captured by the flying pest trap 1A by falling onto the tray 2 (see Figure 2).

[0099] On the other hand, if a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1A reaches a certain position on the first side linear ridge 44, it will, due to its habits, fall into one of two categories: climbing along the first side linear ridge 44, crossing over to the first cover linear ridge 41 and further climbing over the first cover linear ridge 41, and being directly guided towards the first annular ridge 31; or crossing from the first cover linear ridge 41 to the third cover linear ridge 43, moving along the third cover linear ridge 43, and being guided towards the second annular ridge 32.

[0100] In addition, if a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1A reaches a certain position on the second side linear ridge 45, it will, due to its habits, climb along the second side linear ridge 45 and be directly guided towards the second annular ridge 32.

[0101] Furthermore, if a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1A reaches the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the side portion 12 between the first side linear ridge 44 and the second side linear ridge 45, it will climb the outer surface of the side portion 12 against gravity due to its habit.Furthermore, if the flying pest reaches a certain position on the third cover linear ridge 43, there are two possibilities: it moves along the third cover linear ridge 43 and is directly guided to the second annular ridge 32; or it moves from the third cover linear ridge 43 to the first cover linear ridge 41, climbs along the first cover linear ridge 41, and is guided to the first annular ridge 31.

[0102] When the flying pest is guided to the first annular ridge 31, if it reaches a certain position on the first annular ridge 31, it will move along the first annular ridge 31. In this case, it is easy to invade the interior of the flying pest trap 1A from the first attractant 21 along the first annular ridge 31. When the flying pest is guided to the second annular ridge 32, if it reaches a certain position on the second annular ridge 32, it will move along the second annular ridge 32. In this case, the flying pests easily invade the interior of the flying pest trap 1A from the second attraction port 22 along the second annular ridge 32. The flying pests that invade the interior of the flying pest trap 1A from the attraction ports 21 and 22 fall onto the tray portion 2 and are captured by the flying pest trap 1A.

[0103] In this way, the flying pests are induced to the annular ridges 31 and 32 along the linear ridges 41 to 45. As a result, the possibility of flying pests invading the interior of the flying pest trap 1A from the attraction ports 21 and 22 is increased, and they fall onto the tray portion 2. Furthermore, for the flying pests that fall onto the tray portion 2 and are blocked by the upper surface of the pesticide portion 4, the insecticidal ingredient contained in the pesticide portion 4 acts on the flying pests, thereby killing the flying pests at the upper surface of the pesticide portion 4.

[0104] The flying pest trap 1A according to the first embodiment can capture not only flying pests that stay on the cover 3, but also flying pests that hover around the cover 3. In particular, it can further enhance the negative geotropism in conjunction with the habit of moving along the linear ridges 44, 45 on the side, and can further enhance the capture effect. Furthermore, the captured and killed flying pests can be easily visually confirmed through the attraction ports 21, 22 provided on the cover 3 (cover 11), and the insect-killing effect can be actually felt.

[0105] [Second Embodiment]

[0106] FIG4 is an external perspective view of the flying pest trap 1B of the second embodiment. FIG5 is an exploded perspective view of the flying pest trap 1B of the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the same or identical parts as in the first embodiment are marked with the same reference numerals and their detailed descriptions are omitted. Hereinafter, the description will focus on the parts unique to the second embodiment (the same applies to the third to sixth embodiments described later).

[0107] <Tray Section>

[0108] As shown in FIG. 5, in the tray section 2 of the flying pest trap 1B of the second embodiment, an inward flange section 55 is provided instead of the outward flange section 6 (see FIG. 2) in the tray section 2 of the first embodiment. The inward flange section 55 excludes the portion for which the strip-shaped protrusion 9 is provided, and is formed in the desired circumferential portion of the tray section body 5 in such a way that it extends inward in the horizontal direction from the upper edge of the tray section body 5 without interfering with the arrangement member 8. Otherwise, it is basically the same as the tray section 2 of the first embodiment.

[0109] <Cover Section>

[0110] The cover section 3 is configured as a hollow structure that bulges upward in a hemispherical dome shape, so as to completely cover the upper surface side of the tray section 2. That is, in the second embodiment, the cover section 3 is configured with the cover section 11 of the cover section 3 in the first embodiment as the main body, and does not have the side section 12.

[0111] In the tray portion 2 and the cover portion 3, with the lower end of the cover portion 3 abutting against the upper end of the tray portion 2, the shape and size of the mating portion of the cover portion 3 and the tray portion 2 are set such that the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the cover portion 3 is coplanar with the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the tray portion 2.

[0112] A locking portion 56 is provided on the inner peripheral side of the cover portion 3, which can engage with the inward flange portion 55 of the tray portion 2. In this example, a component having a claw piece that can elastically engage with the outer peripheral edge of the inward flange portion 55 is used as the locking portion 56. Thus, by covering the tray portion 2 with the cover portion 3 and elastically engaging the locking portion 56 of the cover portion 3 with the inward flange portion 55 of the tray portion 2, the cover portion 3 is kept in the assembled state of being mounted on the tray portion 2. On the other hand, if a certain or greater separation force is applied between the tray portion 2 and the cover portion 3, the elastic engagement of the locking portion 56 is released, and the cover portion 3 can be removed relative to the tray portion 2. In this way, the cover portion 3 can be easily attached to and detached from the tray portion 2. It should be noted that, similar to the first embodiment, the engaging portion of the cover portion 3 relative to the inward flange portion 55 of the tray portion 2 can also be made into a screw-in type.

[0113] In this way, in the flying pest trap 1B of the second embodiment, the lower end of the cover portion 3 and the upper end of the tray portion 2 are joined in such a way that no step is generated between the cover portion 3 and the tray portion 2. It should be noted that the step only needs to be a size that flying pests cannot easily cross, for example, a step of 0.1 to 3 mm can be set.

[0114] <Attractant Port>

[0115] FIG6 is a top view of the flying pest trap 1B of the second embodiment. The hemispherical dome-shaped cover 3 is provided with a first attracting opening 61 and a second attracting opening 62 for attracting flying pests inward. Specification 9 / 14 page 11 CN 122249107 A

[0116] The first attracting opening 61 is formed in the middle position between the apex P of the cover 3 and the outer periphery where the diameter of the horizontal cross section of the cover 3 is the largest. It is a flower-shaped opening.The first enticing opening 61 is centered at the vertex P of the cover portion, and multiple openings (3 in this example) are arranged around the circumference of the cover portion 3 at predetermined angular intervals (120° intervals in this example).

[0117] The second enticing opening 62 is formed in the shape of a leaf near the outer periphery of the position where the diameter of the horizontal cross-section of the cover portion 3 is the largest. Multiple openings (3 in this example) of the second enticing opening 62 are arranged around the vertex P of the cover portion 3 at predetermined angular intervals (120° intervals in this example) around the circumference of the cover portion 3, and are offset from the first enticing opening 61 by a predetermined angle (60° in this example) in the circumference of the cover portion 3.

[0118] It should be noted that the shapes of the enticing openings 61 and 62 are not limited to flower shapes or leaf shapes, and can be configured as any shape such as a rocking horse shape, a circle shape, a triangle shape, a quadrilateral shape, a star shape, etc. Furthermore, there are no particular limitations on the number and arrangement of the attractant openings 61 and 62, and the number and arrangement can be appropriately set so that the attractant component contained in the agent part 4 can be thoroughly diffused around the flying pest trap 1B.

[0119] <Annular Protrusion>

[0120] A first annular protrusion 71 is provided on the outer surface of the cover part 3. The first annular protrusion 71 is formed as a protrusion (protrusion) that protrudes (raises) outward in a manner that surrounds the first attractant opening 61. In addition, a second annular protrusion 72 is provided on the outer surface of the cover part 3. The second annular protrusion 72 is formed as a protrusion (protrusion) that protrudes (raises) outward in a manner that surrounds the second attractant opening 62.

[0121] <Linear Protrusions>

[0122] As shown in FIG4, linear protrusions 81, 82, and 83 are provided on the outer surface of the cover portion 3. In addition, linear protrusions 84 and 85 are provided on the outer surface of the tray portion 2.

[0123] The linear protrusion 81 (hereinafter referred to as "first cover linear protrusion 81") is formed to extend in a serpentine manner from the position of the first annular protrusion 71 toward the outer periphery of the cover portion 3 at the position where the diameter of the horizontal cross-section is the largest (lower end position). The first cover linear protrusion 81 is formed as a protrusion (protrusion) that protrudes (raises) outward from the outer surface of the cover portion 3 in a form connected to the first annular protrusion 71.

[0124] The linear ridge 82 (hereinafter referred to as "second cover linear ridge 82") is formed to extend in a serpentine manner from the position of the second annular ridge 72 toward the outer periphery where the diameter of the horizontal cross-section of the cover 3 is the largest (lower end position). The second cover linear ridge 82 is formed as a protrusion (ridge) that protrudes (raises) outward from the outer surface of the cover 3 in a form that is connected to the second annular ridge 72.

[0125] The linear ridge 83 (hereinafter referred to as "third cover linear ridge 83") is formed as a protrusion (ridge) that protrudes (raises) outward from the outer surface of the cover portion 3 in such a way that the second annular ridge 72 is connected to the first cover linear ridge 81.

[0126] The linear ridge 84 (hereinafter referred to as "first tray surface linear ridge 84") is provided to extend upward (directly upward or obliquely upward) from the bottom surface of the tray portion 2 on or near the outer surface of the tray portion 2. In this example, the first tray surface linear ridge 84 extends upward from the bottom surface of the tray portion 2 in a manner continuous with the lower end of the first cover linear ridge 81, and is formed as a protrusion (ridge) that protrudes (raises) from the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the tray portion 2.

[0127] The linear ridge 85 (hereinafter referred to as "second tray surface linear ridge 85") is configured to extend upward (directly upward or obliquely upward) from the bottom surface of the tray portion 2 on or near the outer surface of the tray portion 2. In this example, the second tray surface linear ridge 85 extends upward from the bottom surface of the tray portion 2 in a manner continuous with the lower end of the second cover surface linear ridge 82, and is formed as a protrusion (ridge) that protrudes (raises) from the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the tray portion 2.

[0128] In the flying pest trap 1B shown in FIG4, which is configured as described above, if a flying pest that is stationary on the outer surface of the cover portion 3 reaches a certain position of the annular ridges 71, 72, it will move along the annular ridges 71, 72 due to its habits. Furthermore, if flying pests resting on the outer surface of the cover 3 reach the linear ridges 81, 82, and 83, they will move along these ridges due to their habits and be guided towards the annular ridges 71 and 72. If they reach a certain position on the annular ridges 71 and 72, they will move along them. Flying pests moving along the annular ridges 71 and 72 can easily invade the interior of the flying pest trap 1B through the attraction ports 61 and 62. Flying pests that have invaded the interior of the flying pest trap 1B through the attraction ports 61 and 62 fall onto the tray 2 and are captured by the flying pest trap 1B.

[0129] On the other hand, if a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1B reaches a certain position of the first tray surface linear ridge 84, it will be either climbed along the first tray surface linear ridge 84, crossed the first cover surface linear ridge 81 and further climbed the first cover surface linear ridge 81, and was directly guided to the first annular ridge 71; or crossed the third cover surface linear ridge 83 which is provided in the form of branching from the first cover surface linear ridge 81, moved along the third cover surface linear ridge 83, and was guided to the second annular ridge 72.

[0130] Furthermore, if a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1B reaches a certain position on the second tray surface linear ridge 85, it will climb along the second tray surface linear ridge 85 due to its habit and be directly guided towards the second annular ridge 72.

[0131] Further, if a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1B reaches the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the tray portion 2 between the first tray surface linear ridge 84 and the second tray surface linear ridge 85, it will climb against gravity and climb the outer surface of the tray portion 2 due to its habit. And if it reaches a certain position on the first cover surface linear ridge 81 or the second cover surface linear ridge 82, it will move along the first cover surface linear ridge 81, the second cover surface linear ridge 82 or the third cover surface linear ridge 83 and be guided towards the first annular ridge 71 or the second annular ridge 72.

[0132] When a flying pest is guided towards the first annular ridge 71, if it reaches a certain position on the first annular ridge 71, it will move along the first annular ridge 71. In this case, it easily invades the interior of the flying pest trap 1B from the first attractant opening 61 along the first annular ridge 71. When a flying pest is guided towards the second annular ridge 72, if it reaches a certain position on the second annular ridge 72, it will move along the second annular ridge 72. In this case, it easily invades the interior of the flying pest trap 1B from the second attractant opening 62 along the second annular ridge 72. The flying pests that invade the interior of the flying pest trap 1B from the attractant openings 61 and 62 are captured by the flying pest trap 1B by falling onto the tray portion 2.

[0133] In this way, flying pests are induced to the annular ridges 71 and 72 along the linear ridges 81-85. As a result, the possibility of flying pests entering the interior of the flying pest trap 1B through the attraction ports 61 and 62 is increased, and they fall onto the tray 2. Furthermore, for flying pests that fall onto the tray 2 and are blocked by the upper surface of the pesticide section 4, the insecticidal ingredient contained in the pesticide section 4 acts on the flying pests, thereby killing them at the upper surface of the pesticide section 4.

[0134] The flying pest trap 1B according to the second embodiment, like the flying pest trap 1A of the first embodiment, can also capture flying pests not only those resting on the cover section 3, but also those hovering around the tray 2. In particular, the negative geotropism can be further enhanced in conjunction with the habit of moving along the linear ridges 84 and 85 on the tray surface, which can further improve the capture effect. Furthermore, the captured and killed flying pests can be easily visually confirmed through the attraction ports 61 and 62 provided on the cover 3, and the insect-killing effect can be actually felt.

[0135] [Third Embodiment]

[0136] FIG7 is a perspective view of the flying pest trap 1C according to the third embodiment.As shown in Figure 7, in the flying pest trap 1C of the third embodiment, the linear ridge 44 and the linear ridge 45 on the first side of the flying pest trap 1A (see Figure 1) on page 11 / 14 of the specification 13 CN 122249107 A are omitted. According to this flying pest trap 1C, if a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1C reaches the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the side portion 12, it will climb the outer surface of the side portion 12 against gravity due to its habit. Furthermore, if it reaches a certain position of the second annular ridge 32, it will be directly guided to the second annular ridge 32; if it reaches a certain position of the third cover linear ridge 43, it will move along the third cover linear ridge 43 and be guided to the second annular ridge 32; or it will move from the third cover linear ridge 43 to the first cover linear ridge 41, climb along the first cover linear ridge 41, and be guided to the first annular ridge 31. As shown in Figures 7 and 1, by providing linear raised portions (41-43; 41-45) connected to the annular raised portions 31 and 32 on the outer surface of the cover portion 11, or on the outer surface of the cover portion 11 and the side portion 12, even if the flying pests remain at a position slightly away from the attraction ports 21 and 22, the flying pests will be induced to the annular raised portions 31 and 32 along the linear raised portions (41-43; 41-45). As a result, the possibility of flying pests invading the interior of the flying pest traps 1A and 1C from the attraction ports 21 and 22 is increased, and they fall to the tray portion 2 and are captured.

[0137] [Fourth Embodiment]

[0138] Figure 8 is a perspective view of the flying pest trap 1D according to the fourth embodiment. As shown in Figure 8, in the flying pest trap 1D of the fourth embodiment, the first tray surface linear ridge 84 and the second tray surface linear ridge 85 of the flying pest trap 1B of the second embodiment (see Figure 4) are omitted. If a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1D reaches the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the tray portion 2, it will climb the outer surface of the tray portion against gravity due to its habit. Furthermore, if it reaches a certain position of the first cover surface linear ridge 81, the second cover surface linear ridge 82, or the third cover surface linear ridge 83, it will move along the first cover surface linear ridge 81, the second cover surface linear ridge 82, or the third cover surface linear ridge 83 and be guided towards the first annular ridge 71 or the second annular ridge 72.

[0139] [Fifth Embodiment]

[0140] Figure 9 is an external perspective view of the flying pest trap 1E of the fifth embodiment.As shown in FIG9, in the flying pest trap 1E of the fifth embodiment, instead of the attraction ports 21, 22, annular ridges 31, 32, and linear ridges 41-43 in the flying pest trap 1C of the third embodiment (refer to FIG7), attraction ports 61, 62, annular ridges 71, 72, and linear ridges 81-83 are provided. Apart from this, it is basically the same as the flying pest trap 1C of the third embodiment. The same effect as the third embodiment can be obtained through the fifth embodiment.

[0141] [Sixth Embodiment]

[0142] FIG10 is a perspective view of the flying pest trap 1F of the sixth embodiment. As shown in FIG10, in the flying pest trap 1F of the sixth embodiment, compared with the flying pest trap 1E of the fifth embodiment (refer to FIG9), the linear ridges 86 are formed on the side portion 12 as protrusions (ridges) that protrude (raise) from the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the side portion 12. The linear ridge 86 includes a first linear ridge piece 86a, a second linear ridge piece 86b, and a third linear ridge piece 86c. The first linear ridge piece 86a extends from the lower end of the side surface portion 12, continuously from the lower end of the first cover linear ridge piece 81, in a direction intersecting the vertical, combining a generally straight portion and a curved portion. The second linear ridge piece 86b extends downward in a curved manner towards the lower end of the side surface portion 12, branching from the junction of the generally straight and curved portions of the first linear ridge piece 86a. The third linear ridge piece 86c extends upward in a curved manner, branching from the middle of the generally straight portion of the first linear ridge piece 86a, continuously from the lower end of the second cover linear ridge piece 82. According to the sixth embodiment, the same effects as the first and second embodiments with the same basic structure can be obtained.

[0143] The flying pest trap of the present invention has been described above according to several embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the configuration described in the above embodiments, and its configuration may be appropriately modified without departing from its spirit. Specification 12 / 14 pages 14 CN 122249107 A

[0144] [Examples]

[0145] Hereinafter, embodiments of the flying pest trap of the present invention will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0146] (Capture Test: Confirmation of Capture Effect Based on Different Structures)

[0147] Representative flying pests, namely Drosophila melanogaster, Drosophila heidelbergii, and Drosophila fusiformis, were used as test insects. The flying pest trap 1E of the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 9 was used as Example 1, the flying pest trap 1F of the sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 10 was used as Example 2, and the conventional flying pest trap 200 disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-102262 (see FIG. 11) was used as Comparative Example 1. The same agent part 4 was used, and the number of captured insects was counted within a certain period of time, and the comparison was calculated. Here, in FIG. 11, the same reference numerals are used for the parts that are the same as those in the above embodiments. In the conventional flying pest trap 200 shown in FIG. 11, a connecting part 201 is formed in the cover part 3 that engages with the outward flange part 6 of the tray part 2 (see FIG. 2). Therefore, in the flying pest trap 200, a step 202 is generated at the engagement portion of the outwardly protruding flange 6 and the connecting portion 201. The results of the capture test conducted under the above conditions are shown in Table 1 below.

[0148] [Table 1]

[0149]

[0150] As shown in Table 1, in Example 1, a better capture effect was obtained than in Comparative Example 1. This is believed to be because, in the flying pest trap 1E of Example 1, the side portion 12 is integrally suspended from the cover portion 11 in the cover portion 3, so no step is generated between the cover portion 11 and the side portion 12, and the test insects can smoothly climb from the side portion 12 to the cover portion 11. In contrast, in the flying pest trap 200 of Comparative Example 1, a step 202 is generated between the cover portion 3 and the tray portion 2, and the test insects that have climbed onto the tray portion 2 stop at a certain part of the step 202 and are unable to climb further.

[0151] In Example 2, if the test insects hovering around the flying pest trap 1F reach the linear ridges 86, they will climb along the linear ridges 86 and move along the linear ridges 81, 82, and 83, and be smoothly guided towards the annular ridges 71 and 72. Therefore, as shown in Table 1, in Example 2, compared with Example 1, the negative geotropism is further improved, the possibility of the test insects invading the trap from the attraction ports 61 and 62 is increased, and the test insects as a whole can obtain a better capture effect.

[0152] It should be noted that although the data is omitted, when the same test as the above-described capture test 1 is conducted using the flying pest trap 1A of the first embodiment shown in FIG1 and the flying pest trap 1C of the third embodiment shown in FIG7, it can also be confirmed that due to the effect of the linear ridges 44 and 45 in improving the negative geotropism, the flying pest trap 1A shown in FIG1 can obtain a higher capture effect.

[0153] Industrial Applicability

[0154] The flying pest catcher of the present invention is suitable for the control of flying pests, especially for the control of small flies such as fruit flies, flea flies, black-winged mushroom flies, mushroom flies, and moth flies, and can also be used to control flies such as houseflies, black flies, golden flies, and flesh flies.
