Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of red imported fire ant control technology, specifically, it relates to a biological elimination device for controlling red imported fire ants. Background Technology
[0002] Red imported fire ant colonies consist of female reproductive ants (queens), male reproductive ants, and worker ants (large and small worker ants). Identification is often based on the morphological characteristics of worker ants, along with the structural features of the ant colony and aggressive behavior. Red imported fire ants exhibit continuous polymorphism in size, ranging from 2.5 to 7 mm in length. Small worker ants are reddish-brown with a brownish-brown abdomen and a slightly glossy surface.
[0003] A mature ant nest is a mound of soil, 10-30cm high and 30-50cm in diameter. Current technology generally involves destroying and breaking up the nest to expose the red imported fire ants, and then spraying pesticides to kill them. However, in the process of breaking up the nest, it may be inconvenient to enclose the mound in a closed space and break it up, which may cause the exposed red imported fire ants to escape everywhere, thus increasing the difficulty of controlling the red imported fire ants. At the same time, it is not convenient to turn over the soil at the mound, thus failing to reduce the red imported fire ant habitat.
[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the problems in related technologies, the present invention proposes a biological elimination device for the control of red imported fire ants, so as to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0020] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the top side of the L-shaped rod, an ear plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cover plate, a limiting post is fixedly connected to the top of the ear plate, and the limiting post moves through the interior of the limiting plate.
[0021] By setting a limiting plate, ear plate, and limiting post, the position of the L-shaped rod after it has been moved and placed is limited.
[0022] Preferably, the hexagonal slide bar has a positioning hole, and a locking rod is movably inserted into the hexagonal slide bar through the positioning hole.
[0023] By setting positioning holes and locking rods, the hexagonal slider is prevented from sliding downwards in its initial state.

[0048] Working principle: First, the cover plate 1 is moved to the mature ant nest by the positioning rod 15 and the pull rod 16. The positioning stake 18 is inserted into the soil, so that the mature ant nest is located inside the cover plate 1. The cover plate 1 covers the ant mound formed by the mature ant nest. At this time, the bottom of the drill rod 7 is located inside the ant mound, and the base plate 4 is located above the ant mound. The movable plate 32 drives the threaded rod 31 to rotate and move until it separates from the threaded hole 30. Then, the clamping rod 29 moves out from the inside of the positioning hole 28, the motor 6 runs, the worker grasps the sleeve 13 and applies downward force, the hexagonal sliding rod 3 drives the base plate 4 to move downward, so that the protective cylinder 5 moves downward as well. The drill rod 7 drives the auger 8 to rotate downward. The auger 8 turns the soil of the ant mound upward, thereby destroying the ant nest and exposing the red imported fire ants inside the ant mound to the cover plate. Inside the cover plate 1, antlions prepared in advance are placed inside through the feeding trough 14. The antlions capture red imported fire ants inside the cover plate 1. After capture, ants are placed inside the placement box 23. The sealing cover 24 seals the top of the placement box 23. The L-shaped rod 20 moves to the inside of the cover plate 1 through the sliding groove 19, and the collection box 21 is in contact with the turned soil. The antlions will find the ants based on the chemical information released by the ants. The pheromones released by the ants can be smelled by the antlions and can guide the antlions to find the location of the ants, so that the antlions crawl into the inside of the collection box 21. The collection box 21 collects the antlions. The antlions can then be retrieved by removing the collection box 21, thus facilitating the collection of antlions inside the cover plate 1.
[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
