The aim is to provide a molded cockroach trap that improves the probability of capturing cockroaches that enter the trap, while also reducing manufacturing costs, by having the base plate, seal cover, and adhesive sheet formed by molding process separated into components. [Problem] The adhesive sheet constituting the molded cockroach trap of the present invention consists of a rectangular base placed on the bottom surface of a base plate, an adhesive layer applied to the surface of the base, and a release paper covering the surface of the adhesive layer. The base plate has a fitting projection on its periphery that accommodates a lid cover and has a trap-like projection that facilitates entry and forms an inner lower wall surface and an inner upper wall surface that obstructs escape, with predetermined height, width dimensions and inclination angle. The lid cover is formed in a roughly rectangular pan bottom shape that forms the side surface and top surface, with entry windows on both the left and right sides of the side surface and entry openings on the front and rear sides.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention is configured by separating a pedestal plate formed by molding, a cover lid, and an adhesive sheet, so that the capture probability of cockroaches entering the cockroach trap can be improved, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. The present invention relates to a mold-type cockroach trap.

Background Art

[0002] Many of the conventional household cockroach traps in circulation are configured to guide cockroaches approaching a trap formed by assembling a single cardboard sheet into a house shape to an attractant disposed at the center of a bottom plate coated with an adhesive material on the entire surface. Even when a cockroach is attracted by the attractant and approaches an entrance such as an inclined tread plate or window of the trap, it is separated from the attractant disposed at the center of the bottom plate, so that the attracting effect of the odor of the attractant is weak. Therefore, the defensive instinct of feeling danger to oneself rather than being attracted by the odor of the attractant often wins, and the cockroach turns back from the tip edge of the tread plate. Since cockroaches that have learned this to some extent are less likely to approach again, the problem of the capture probability decreasing accordingly could not be solved.

[0003] In addition, a disposable cockroach trap is provided that can discard the dead body of the captured cockroach and the captured cockroach trap at the same time without directly seeing the dead body of the cockroach.

[0004] As the above-mentioned assembled cockroach trap, for example, a single cardboard sheet punched into a predetermined shape is assembled and formed, an adhesive is applied to the bottom surface of the cockroach trap, and attractants are distributed at the center thereof. Folding lines parallel to both sides are provided, and both side plates and a ceiling plate are bent and formed. Further, inclined tread plates are formed at both ends of the bottom plate to effectively obstruct the walking of cockroaches that have entered the trap, thereby reliably preventing escape to the outside of the trap. A "cockroach trap" (Patent Document 1) has been proposed.

[0005] However, the proposed "cockroach trap" (Patent Document 1) is a cockroach trap in which the adhesive portion applied to the upper surface of the bottom of the trap has multiple protrusions arranged in a row, and at least a portion of the protrusions are bent horizontally. Therefore, it is merely a means of hindering the movement of cockroaches that have entered the trap by improving the shape of the adhesive portion, and it is not a cockroach trap that has a means of preventing cockroaches from escaping to the outside of the trap by the physical means that make up the trap.

[0006] Furthermore, a "cockroach trap" (Patent Document 2) has been proposed that makes it difficult to see inside the cockroach trap.

[0007] However, the proposed "cockroach trap" (Patent Document 2) is merely a proposal for a cockroach trap that is equipped with a roof opening section and a roof opening knob. By raising the roof opening knob on the side plate, the roof portion is separated from the side plate along the separation section to form the roof, and the roof is opened by folding it upwards from the roof opening section, opening a large entry point and a large entry window. Therefore, it is merely a proposal that eliminates the unpleasantness of directly looking at cockroaches caught in the adhesive when checking the cockroach capture status of the trap in use, and for women who are reluctant to move the trap in use or dispose of used traps, it is simply a proposal that eliminates visual discomfort, and is not a proposal for a cockroach trap that improves the capture rate or reduces production costs.

[0008] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the applicant has conceived of a way to improve the probability of capturing cockroaches that enter the cockroach trap while also reducing production costs. As a result, the applicant has developed a molded cockroach trap in which a base plate, a seal cover, and an adhesive sheet are formed by molding and separated, thereby improving the probability of capturing cockroaches that enter the trap and reducing manufacturing costs. This leads to the proposal of the "molded cockroach trap" in the present invention. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0009] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-165069 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3237843 Gazette [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0010] The present invention aims to provide a molded cockroach trap that improves the probability of capturing cockroaches that enter the trap, while also reducing manufacturing costs, by being constructed in which a base plate formed by molding, a sealing cover, and an adhesive sheet are separated. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The molded cockroach trap of the present invention is composed of an adhesive sheet, a base plate molded from foamed resin, resin film, pulp mold, paperboard, or aluminum foil, and a seal cover, which are separated into an adhesive sheet, a base plate molded from foamed resin, resin film, pulp mold, paperboard for paper containers, or aluminum foil, and a seal cover. The adhesive sheet consists of a rectangular base placed on the bottom surface of the base plate, an adhesive layer applied to the surface of the base, and a release paper covering the surface of the adhesive layer. The base plate has a fitting projection at its periphery that accommodates the seal cover, and is equipped with a trap that facilitates entry by having a predetermined height, width, and inclination angle, and forms an inner lower wall surface and an inner upper wall surface that obstructs escape. The seal cover is formed in a substantially rectangular pan bottom shape that forms the side surface and top surface, and has entry windows on both the left and right sides of the side surface, as well as entry openings on the front and rear sides.

[0012] Furthermore, the molded cockroach trap in the present invention is a molded cockroach trap composed of an adhesive sheet, a disinfectant sheet, a base plate molded from a metal plate or synthetic resin material, and a seal cover, wherein the adhesive sheet consists of a rectangular cardboard base placed on the bottom surface of the base plate, an adhesive layer applied to the surface of the cardboard base, and a release paper covering the surface of the adhesive layer, the base plate has a fitting projection at its periphery that accommodates the seal cover, facilitates entry with predetermined height, width dimensions and inclination angle, and forms an inner lower wall surface and an inner upper wall surface that obstructs escape, and is equipped with a trap, the seal cover is formed in a substantially rectangular pan bottom shape that forms side and top surfaces, with entry windows on both the left and right sides of the side surface and entry openings on the front and rear sides, and the disinfectant sheet is made of a sheet material impregnated with a disinfectant.

[0013] Furthermore, the molded cockroach trap of the present invention employs a method in which a rod-shaped attractant is placed horizontally to the entrance in the center of the adhesive layer, and an escape-preventing flap is suspended from near the upper center of the inside of the top surface of the sealing cover.

[0014] Furthermore, the molded cockroach trap in the present invention employs a method in which the surface of the adhesive layer is processed to have an uneven surface.

[0015] Furthermore, the molded cockroach trap in the present invention employs a method in which a window hole for confirming capture or an opening / closing lid, or either one of them, is provided on the top surface of the sealing lid cover. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] The molded cockroach trap of the present invention offers the excellent effect of reliably capturing cockroaches that enter the trap, thanks to the inlet formed on the front and rear sides of the seal cover and the provision of a unique trap at the top and bottom edges of the entry window on the side.

[0017] Furthermore, the molded cockroach trap of the present invention offers several advantages, including the ability to easily dispose of the trap after capturing a cockroach, as the base plate and seal cover are molded inexpensively using foamed resin, resin film, pulp mold, paperboard, or aluminum foil as materials. Additionally, by separating the manufacturing lines for the trap and the adhesive sheet, the manufacturing line can be simplified, package design can be diversified, and product prices can be reduced simultaneously.

[0018] Furthermore, the molded cockroach trap of the present invention offers the excellent advantage of being reusable by disinfecting the base plate and seal cover, which are molded from a metal plate or synthetic resin material, with boiling water and then cleaning and disinfecting them with an antibacterial wipe.

[0019] Furthermore, the molded cockroach trap of the present invention offers excellent advantages, such as improving the capture rate by extending the contact time between the cockroach's body and the adhesive layer, achieved by placing a rod-shaped attractant in the center of the adhesive layer perpendicular to the entrance and providing an escape-preventing flap on the top surface of the seal cover.

[0020] Furthermore, the molded cockroach trap of the present invention offers excellent benefits, such as improving the capture rate by increasing the contact area between the cockroach's body and the adhesive through embossing, such as linear, patterned, or wave-shaped irregularities, on the surface of the adhesive layer.

[0021] Furthermore, the molded cockroach trap of the present invention offers the excellent benefit of eliminating the visual discomfort for women who are reluctant to dispose of used traps, by providing a window or opening / closing lid for confirming capture on the top surface of the sealing lid cover.

[0022] Furthermore, the moldable cockroach trap of the present invention offers the excellent advantage of being able to be formed into a variety of shapes to suit the usage needs of factories, shops, kitchens, large facilities, warehouses, and homes.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0024] The mold cockroach catcher 10 in the present invention is composed of a pedestal plate 11 formed by molding, a closing cover 12, and an adhesive sheet 14 being separated. By this, the capture probability of cockroaches G that have entered the cockroach catcher 10 can be improved, and the greatest feature is that means for reducing the manufacturing cost have been adopted. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

[0025] Note that the mold cockroach catcher 10 of the present invention is not limited to the examples described below, and can be appropriately changed within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention, that is, within the range of shapes and dimensions that can exhibit the same operational effects. Note that the mold cockroach catcher 10 of the present invention is described with large black cockroaches and small German cockroaches as the targets.

Examples

[0026] Figure 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of the molded cockroach trap of the present invention. Figure 1(a) is an exploded perspective view of the molded cockroach trap 10. The molded cockroach trap 10 in the present invention is composed of an adhesive sheet 14, a base plate 11 molded from foamed resin, resin film, pulp mold, paperboard, or aluminum foil, and a seal cover 12, which are separated into an adhesive sheet 14 and a base plate 11 molded from foamed resin, resin film, pulp mold, paperboard, or aluminum foil, and a seal cover 12. The adhesive sheet 14 consists of a rectangular base 15 placed on the bottom surface 11a of the base plate 11, an adhesive layer 16 applied to the surface of the base 15, and a release paper 17 covering the surface of the adhesive layer 16. The base plate 11 has a fitting projection 13 on its periphery that accommodates a lid cover 12, and which has a trap-like projection 22 that facilitates entry by having a predetermined height, width, and inclination angle, and which has an inner lower wall surface 22a and an inner upper wall surface 22b that obstructs escape. The lid cover 12 is formed in a roughly rectangular pan bottom shape that forms a side surface 13 and a top surface 14, and has entry windows 21 on both the left and right sides of the side surface 13, and entry openings 20 on the front and rear sides.

[0027] The base plate 11 is molded from a material such as foamed resin, resin film, pulp mold, paperboard, or aluminum foil, and has a lid cover 12 fitted around its periphery. It has a fitted projection 13 with a trap 22 that facilitates entry and prevents escape, with a predetermined height, width, and inclination angle. Dimensionally, it is formed as a plate approximately 170 mm long, 100 mm wide, and 1 mm thick. Furthermore, the bottom surface is provided with a projection 27 for storing and securing the adhesive sheet 17, and a removal hole 26 into which a finger can be inserted when attaching or detaching the sheet.

[0028] The lid cover 12 is molded from a material such as foamed resin, resin film, pulp mold, paperboard backing, or aluminum foil, and is formed in a roughly rectangular pan-bottom shape that forms the side portion 13 and the top portion 14. Entry windows 21 are provided on both the left and right sides of the side portion 13, and entry openings 20 are formed on the front and rear sides. Dimensionally, it is formed in a lid shape with a length of approximately 170 mm, a width of 100 mm, and a height of approximately 40 mm. Although not shown in the diagram, a window visor can also be molded and installed above the entry window 21 and entry point 20 to conceal the captured cockroach G, thus providing a visual obstruction function.

[0029] The interlocking projection 13 forms a convex vertical wall that engages with the seal cover 12, making the height of the entry window 21 and the bottom of the entry port 20 the same, and the tip shape is formed to have a trap-like function with an inclination angle of 15 to 30 degrees. Furthermore, the four corners of the inner wall surface of the interlocking projection 13 are formed with retaining projections 27 that hold down the adhesive sheet 14.

[0030] The trapping function works by slowing down the escape speed of cockroaches G when their antennae come into contact with the inner upper wall surface 22b of the trapping trap 22, thereby increasing the probability of capture as part of the cockroach G's body or legs stick to the adhesive layer 16.

[0031] Figure 1(b) is a longitudinal cross-sectional diagram illustrating the use of the molded cockroach trap 10. The capture status of large Oriental cockroaches is described below. (1) Cockroaches G attempting to enter the molded cockroach trap 10 through the front entrance 20 climb the ramp of the trap 22 located below the entrance 20. At that time, the cockroach G's antennae are turned upward, making it difficult for it to sense the presence of the adhesive layer 16, so the cockroach G can easily enter the molded cockroach trap 10. (2) When a cockroach G attempts to descend from the slope of the trap 22 at the front entrance 20, the cockroach G's weight rests on its front legs and it sticks to the adhesive layer 16, thereby increasing the chances of capture. (3) When the cockroach G senses the presence of the sticky layer 16, it flees towards the rear entrance 20. Due to the behavioral habits of cockroaches (G), they do not turn back, but if they attempt to make a U-turn, they will escape by running in a circular motion. This allows a part of the cockroach's body or legs to stick to the adhesive layer 16, thereby increasing the chances of capture. (4) By climbing up the tip of the ramp of the trap 22 provided below the entrance 20 and entrance window 21, the cockroach G's weight is placed on its hind legs and part of its body or legs stick to the adhesive layer 16, thereby increasing the probability of capture. (5) When the antennae of the cockroach G come into contact with the inner upper wall surface 22b of the trap 22 provided on the upper edge of the entrance 20, the cockroach G senses the presence of an obstacle, slowing down its escape speed, and the probability of capture is improved when part of the cockroach G's body or legs stick to the adhesive layer 16. Furthermore, if the cockroach's legs are wet with moisture or oil, the chances of capturing it decrease. Furthermore, regarding the capture of small German cockroaches, because German cockroaches are small, they do not come into contact with the inner upper wall surface 22b of the trap trap 22 installed on the upper edge of the entrance 20. Instead, they come into contact with the inner lower wall surface 22a of the trap trap 22 installed on the lower edge of the entrance 20, sensing the presence of an obstacle, which slows their escape speed. This allows part of the German cockroach's body or legs to stick to the adhesive layer 16, thus improving the capture rate.

[0032] Figure 1(c) is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating the use of the molded cockroach trap 10. The capture status of large Oriental cockroaches is described below. (1) Cockroaches G attempting to enter the molded cockroach trap 10 through the side entry window 21 climb the ramp of the trap 22 located below the entry window 21. At that time, the cockroach G's antennae are turned upward, making it difficult for it to sense the presence of the adhesive layer 16, so the cockroach G can easily enter the molded cockroach trap 10. (2) When a cockroach G attempts to descend from the ramp of the trap 22 at the side entry point 21, the cockroach G's weight rests on its front legs and it sticks to the adhesive layer 16, thereby increasing the chances of capture. (3) When the cockroach G senses the presence of the sticky layer 16, it flees towards the entry point 21 on the opposite side. Due to the behavioral habits of cockroaches (G), they do not turn back, but if they attempt to make a U-turn, they will escape by running in a circular motion. This allows a part of the cockroach's body or legs to stick to the adhesive layer 16, thereby increasing the chances of capture. (4) By climbing up the tip of the ramp of the trap 22 provided below the entrance 20 and entrance window 21, the cockroach G's weight is placed on its hind legs and part of its body or legs stick to the adhesive layer 16, thereby increasing the probability of capture. (5) When the antennae of the cockroach G come into contact with the inner upper wall surface 22b of the trap 22 provided on the upper edge of the entry window 21, the cockroach G senses the presence of an obstacle, slowing down its escape speed, and the probability of capture is improved when part of the cockroach G's body or legs stick to the adhesive layer 16. Furthermore, if the cockroach's legs are wet with moisture or oil, the chances of capturing it decrease. Furthermore, regarding the capture of small German cockroaches, because German cockroaches are small, they do not come into contact with the inner upper wall surface 22b of the trap trap 22 installed on the upper edge of the entry window 21. Instead, they come into contact with the inner lower wall surface 22a of the trap trap 22 installed on the lower edge of the entry entrance 20, sensing the presence of an obstacle, which slows their escape speed. This allows part of the German cockroach's body or legs to stick to the adhesive layer 16, thus improving the capture rate.

[0033] The molded cockroach trap 10 of the present invention, as described above, is made by molding the base plate 11 and the lid cover 12 from foamed resin, resin film, pulp mold, paperboard, or aluminum foil. This makes it easy to dispose of the trap after capturing a cockroach G, and by separating the manufacturing lines for the molded cockroach trap 10 and the adhesive sheet 14, it is possible to provide a molded cockroach trap 10 that simultaneously simplifies the manufacturing line, diversifies the package design, and lowers the product price. [Examples]

[0034] Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram showing another embodiment of the molded cockroach trap of the present invention. The diagram shows an exploded perspective view of the molded cockroach trap 10. The molded cockroach trap 10 in the present invention is composed of an adhesive sheet 14, an antibacterial sheet 18, a base plate 11 molded from a metal plate or synthetic resin material, and a seal cover 12, which are separated. The adhesive sheet 14 consists of a rectangular backing 15 placed on the bottom surface 11a of the base plate 11, an adhesive layer 16 applied to the surface of the backing 15, and a release paper 17 covering the surface of the adhesive layer 16. The base plate 11 has a seal cover 1 around its periphery. The lid cover 12 is formed in a roughly rectangular pan bottom shape, with side sections 13 and top section 14. Entry windows 21 are formed on both the left and right sides of the side section 13, and entry openings 20 are formed on the front and rear sides. The disinfectant sheet 18 is made of a sheet material impregnated with a disinfectant.

[0035] The base plate 11 is molded from a metal plate such as stainless steel or aluminum, or a synthetic resin material such as heat-resistant plastic, and has a fitting projection 13 formed on its periphery for fitting the lid cover 12. Dimensionally, it is formed in the shape of a plate with a length of approximately 170 mm, a width of 100 mm, and a molding thickness of 2 mm (excluding the thickness of the fitting projection 13). Furthermore, the bottom surface is provided with an outlet hole 26 for pushing out the adhesive sheet 14.

[0036] The cover 12 is formed from a metal plate such as stainless steel or aluminum, or a synthetic resin material such as heat-resistant plastic, and is shaped like a roughly rectangular pan bottom, forming side portions 13 and a top portion 14. Entry windows 21 are formed on both the left and right sides of the side portion 13, and entry openings 20 are formed on the front and rear sides. Dimensionally, it is shaped like a lid with a length of approximately 170 mm, a width of 100 mm, and a height of approximately 40 mm. Although not shown in the diagram, a window visor can also be molded and installed above the entry point 21 and entry entrance 20 to conceal the captured cockroach G.

[0037] The interlocking projection 13 forms a convex vertical wall that engages with the seal cover 12, and has a trap-like function with the same height at the bottom of the entry window 21 and the entry port 20, and with an inclination angle of 15 to 30 degrees. Furthermore, the four corners of the inner wall surface of the interlocking projection 13 are formed with retaining projections 27 that hold down the adhesive sheet 14.

[0038] The disinfectant wipe 18 is formed, for example, from a disinfectant wet wipe impregnated with ethanol (70% disinfectant alcohol) solution. Furthermore, when used for commercial purposes, the disinfectant wipes 18 can be omitted because the hot water sterilization and sterilization processes can be performed mechanically. Incidentally, pathogens transmitted by cockroaches include Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Helicobacter pylori, Shigella, Salmonella typhi, and Staphylococcus aureus.

[0039] The trapping function works by slowing down the escape speed of cockroaches G when their antennae come into contact with the inner upper wall surface 22b of the trapping trap 22, thereby increasing the probability of capture as part of the cockroach G's body or legs stick to the adhesive layer 16.

[0040] The molded cockroach trap 10, as described above, can be reused by sterilizing the base plate 11 and the sealing cover 12, which are molded from a metal plate or synthetic resin material, with boiling water, cleaning and disinfecting them with a disinfecting sheet 18, and then replacing the adhesive sheet 14. Furthermore, by separating the manufacturing lines for the base plate 11, the sealing cover 12, and the adhesive sheet 14, it is possible to provide a molded cockroach trap 10 that simultaneously simplifies the manufacturing line, diversifies the package design, and lowers the product price. [Examples]

[0041] Figure 3 is an explanatory diagram showing another embodiment of the molded cockroach trap of the present invention. Figure 3(a) is an overall perspective view of the attractant 19 of the molded cockroach trap 10. The molded cockroach trap 10 of the present invention employs a method in which a rod-shaped attractant 19 is placed horizontally to the entrance 20 in the center of the adhesive layer 16, and an escape-obstructing flap 23 is suspended from near the upper center of the inside of the top surface 14 of the sealing cover 12.

[0042] Figure 3(b) is an exploded perspective view of the molded cockroach trap 10 in use. The molded cockroach trap 10 of the present invention is composed of an adhesive sheet 14, a base plate 11 molded from a metal plate or synthetic resin material, and a sealing cover 12, which are separated, and an escape-preventing flap 23 is provided near the upper center of the inside of the top surface 14 of the sealing cover 12.

[0043] The attractant 19 is manufactured as a liquid made from food-derived ingredients such as fish meal and sugars, and is applied to the surface of a solid rod-shaped material having predetermined dimensions (approximately 155 mm in length, 10 mm in width, and 10 mm in height), and positioned horizontally relative to the entrance 20. Furthermore, since the attractant 19 loses its attractive effect after about a month, it needs to be replaced promptly if a long time has passed since installation.

[0044] The escape obstruction flap 23 is an escape obstruction flap provided near the upper center of the inner surface 14 of the seal cover 12. When a cockroach G attempts to jump over the attractant 19 placed horizontally, the cockroach G's antennae come into contact with the escape obstruction flap 23, causing it to recognize that there is an obstacle in its escape route and slowing down its escape speed. Although not shown in the diagram, it is also possible to extend the length of the escape-blocking flap 23 to just above the attractant 19 to form an isolation wall between the attractant 19 and the escape-blocking flap 23, thereby trapping any escaping cockroaches inside the cockroach trap.

[0045] Figure 3(c) is a longitudinal cross-sectional diagram illustrating the use of the molded cockroach trap 10. The capture status of large Oriental cockroaches is described below. (1) Cockroaches G attempting to enter the molded cockroach trap 10 through the front entrance 20 climb the ramp of the trap 22 located below the side entrance 20. At that time, the cockroach G's antennae are turned upward, making it difficult for it to sense the presence of the adhesive layer 16, so the cockroach G can easily enter the molded cockroach trap 10. (2) When a cockroach G attempts to descend from the slope of the trap 22 at the front entrance 20, the cockroach G's weight rests on its front legs and it sticks to the adhesive layer 16, thereby increasing the chances of capture. (3) When the cockroach G senses the presence of the sticky layer 16, it flees towards the rear entrance 20. Due to the behavioral habits of cockroaches (G), they do not turn back, but if they attempt to make a U-turn, they will escape by running in a circular motion. This allows a part of the cockroach's body or legs to stick to the adhesive layer 16, thereby increasing the chances of capture. (4) When a cockroach G attempts to jump over the attractant 19 positioned sideways to the entrance 20, its antennae come into contact with the escape obstruction flap 23 located near the upper center of the inside of the top surface 14 of the cover 12, causing it to sense that there is an obstacle in its escape route, thereby slowing its escape speed. Furthermore, as the cockroach G's body turns upward, part of its body or legs may stick to the adhesive layer 16, increasing the probability of capture. (5) Furthermore, if the cockroach G tries to escape, it can climb the tip of the ramp section of the trap 22 located below the rear entrance 20 and the left and right entrance windows 21, causing the cockroach G's weight to be on its hind legs and part of its body or legs to stick to the adhesive layer 16, thereby increasing the chances of capture. (6) When the antennae of the cockroach G come into contact with the inner upper wall surface 22ba of the trap 22 provided on the upper edge of the rear entrance 20, the cockroach G senses the presence of an obstacle, slowing down its escape speed, and the probability of capture is improved as part of the cockroach G's body or legs stick to the adhesive layer 16. Furthermore, if the cockroach's legs are wet with moisture or oil, the chances of capturing it decrease. Furthermore, regarding the capture of small German cockroaches, because German cockroaches are small, they do not come into contact with the inner upper wall surface 22b of the trap trap 22 located on the upper edge of the rear entrance 20. Instead, they come into contact with the inner lower wall surface 22a of the trap trap 22 located on the lower edge of the rear entrance 20, sensing the presence of an obstacle, which slows their escape speed. This allows part of the German cockroach's body or legs to stick to the adhesive layer 16, thus improving the capture rate.

[0046] The molded cockroach trap 10, as described above, is designed to improve the capture rate by increasing the contact time between the cockroach G's body and the adhesive layer 16. This is achieved by placing a rod-shaped attractant 19 horizontally in the center of the adhesive layer 16 relative to the entrance 20, and by providing an escape-preventing flap 23 near the upper center of the inside of the top surface 14 of the sealing cover 12. [Examples]

[0047] Figure 4 is an explanatory diagram showing another embodiment of the molded cockroach trap of the present invention. Figure 4(a) is an overall perspective view of the adhesive sheet 14. Figure 4(b) is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the adhesive sheet 14. Figure 4(c) is a cross-sectional diagram illustrating the state of use of the adhesive sheet 14. The molded cockroach trap 10 in the present invention employs a method in which the surface of the adhesive layer 16 is processed to have an uneven surface.

[0048] The adhesive sheet 14 consists of a rectangular base 15 placed on the bottom surface 11a of the molded cockroach trap 10, an adhesive layer 16 applied to the surface of the base 15, and a release paper 17 covering the surface of the adhesive layer 16. The surface of the adhesive layer 16 is embossed E to create uneven, linear, patterned, or wavy shapes, thereby increasing the contact area between the cockroach G's body and the adhesive layer 16 and increasing the chances of capture. Dimensionally, it is formed to be slightly smaller than the dimensions of the bottom surface 11a of the base plate 11.

[0049] By embossing the surface of the adhesive layer 16 to create an uneven, linear, patterned, or wave-like shape, the contact area between the cockroach G's body and the adhesive layer 16 is increased, thereby improving the chances of capture.

[0050] The molded cockroach trap 10, as described above, is made possible by applying an embossed pattern E, such as a linear, patterned, or wave-shaped design, to the surface of the adhesive layer 16, thereby increasing the contact area between the cockroach G's body and the adhesive layer 16 and improving the probability of capture. [Examples]

[0051] Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram showing another embodiment of the molded cockroach trap of the present invention. The molded cockroach trap 10 in the present invention employs a method in which a window hole 24 for confirming capture or an opening / closing lid 25, or either one of them, is provided on the top surface 14 of the sealing lid cover 12.

[0052] Figure 5(a) is an overall perspective view showing the top surface 14 of the cover 12 with a window 24 for confirming capture and an opening / closing lid 25. Figure 5(b) is a longitudinal cross-sectional diagram illustrating the use of the molded cockroach trap 10. The capture confirmation window holes 24 are multiple window holes made in the top surface 14 of the cover 12, and the presence of captured cockroaches G can be visually confirmed through the diameter of the capture confirmation window holes 24 without directly looking at the carcasses of the cockroaches G.

[0053] The opening / closing lid 25 is a lid for confirming capture, provided on the top surface 14 of the sealing lid cover 12, and is provided to visually confirm the capture status of the captured cockroach G.
