Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of termite control, in particular to a termite trapping device. Background Art
[0002] Termites (Isoptera) are social insects that feed on wood, plant fibers, and building materials. Their activities cause significant damage to agriculture, forestry, and human habitats. Existing termite control technologies primarily include physical methods, such as sticky traps and mechanical barriers, and chemical methods, primarily bait stations and insecticide sprays.
[0003] However, existing termite control technologies have several technical limitations. First, sticky traps and mechanical barriers have low capture efficiency, making them suitable only for low termite density scenarios and difficult to achieve large-scale control. While chemical bait stations can effectively reduce termite populations, the insecticides used may pollute the environment and non-target organisms, and the baits require regular replacement, increasing maintenance costs. While electronic monitoring equipment can provide data on termite activity, it lacks direct elimination capabilities, limiting its practicality. Electric shock traps have significant drawbacks when used for termite control. Designed primarily for flying insects, they use a higher voltage (typically over 100V) to kill larger insects, but are less effective in attracting and eliminating crawling termites. Furthermore, excessively high voltages can pose safety risks to humans and pets, and the power grid lacks insulation protection, making it susceptible to short circuits or accidental contact. Furthermore, they are not optimized for the biological characteristics of termites, resulting in insufficient overall control effectiveness. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a termite trapping device that solves the significant drawbacks of electric shock traps when used for termite control. Its design is mainly aimed at flying insects, using a higher voltage (usually over 100V) to kill larger insects, but it is not very effective in attracting and eliminating crawling termites.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: A termite trapping device, comprising: A spherical metal cage, wherein a cage protective cover is provided on the top of the spherical metal cage; An electric shock grid installed inside the spherical metal cage and supported by the bottom of the cage protective cover; A base provided at the bottom of the spherical metal cage; a bait box embedded in the base, wherein the bait box is filled with a termite-specific attractant; An Internet of Things module is provided inside the cage protective cover, and the Internet of Things module includes an infrared sensor and a Wi-Fi chip; An adjustable attracting light source is arranged inside the electric shock grid and supported by the bottom of the cage protective cover.
[0006] Preferably, the adjustable attracting light source is a multi-band LED module with a wavelength range of 300nm to 700nm, and the wavelength can be adjusted by a manual knob or a mobile terminal application.
[0007] Preferably, the termite-specific attractant comprises lignin in an amount of 10%-20% and synthetic pheromone in an amount of 0.01%-0.1%, which are released through the micropores of the bait box.
[0008] Preferably, the termite-specific attractant further comprises cellulose, with a content of 5%-15%.
[0009] Preferably, the synthetic pheromone comprises (Z,Z,E)-3,6,8-dodecatrien-1-ol in an amount of 0.005%-0.05%, and is slowly released through the micropores at a rate of 0.1-0.5 mg / h.
[0010] Preferably, the voltage range of the electric shock grid is 12V to 24V, and the electric shock grid is made of galvanized steel wire with a spacing of 5mm.
[0011] Preferably, the Internet of Things module uploads the termite activity data to a mobile terminal application via the Wi-Fi chip, and the mobile terminal application supports remote switching of the device and adjustment of the electric shock frequency, with a frequency range of 1-5 times / minute.
[0012] Preferably, the mobile terminal application also supports recording termite activity data, including approach times and timestamps, with a storage period of no less than 30 days.
[0013] Preferably, the power of the adjustable attracting light source is 5W, and the wavelength adjustment includes ultraviolet light 300-400nm, blue light 450-500nm and red light 600-700nm.
[0014] Preferably, the bait box is made of polypropylene, has a volume of 100 ml, and is provided with 10-20 micropores with a diameter of 0.5 mm for uniform release of the attractant.
[0015] Working Principle: The device releases termite-specific attractants, including lignin, cellulose, and synthetic pheromones (such as (Z,Z,E)-3,6,8-dodecatrien-1-ol), through a bait box. These ingredients slowly evaporate through micropores in the bait box at a rate of 0.1-0.5 mg / h, emitting a termite-attracting scent. Simultaneously, the device can adjust the attractant light source to emit multi-band light (wavelength range 300nm to 700nm), automatically or manually adjusting the spectrum based on termite species and ambient light conditions to further enhance the attractant effect. Once attracted, termites crawl into the spherical metal cage and approach the electric shock grid.
[0016] When termites enter the electric shock grid, infrared sensors mounted inside the cage's protective cover detect their movement, triggering the IoT module's microcontroller to activate the grid. The grid kills termites with low-voltage pulses of 12V to 24V (1-5 times / minute, 10ms pulse width). The grid is constructed of galvanized steel wire with 5mm spacing to ensure efficient contact and elimination. Termite remains may fall onto the base, where the bait box remains, providing continued attraction.
[0017] Simultaneously, the IoT module uploads termite activity data (including proximity times and timestamps) detected by the infrared sensor to a mobile app via a Wi-Fi chip. The app supports real-time monitoring of the device's status, allowing users to remotely turn the device on and off or adjust the shock frequency. The app also records data for at least 30 days, visualizing it as a line chart and heat map, and allowing export and analysis. The light source's brightness automatically adjusts based on ambient light intensity, and a built-in photosensor ensures energy-efficient operation. The entire device is powered by an external power supply, ensuring stable operation and adaptability to a variety of termite activity environments. The attracting and extermination process continues in a loop until the attractant is depleted or manually stopped.
[0018] The present invention provides a termite trapping device having the following beneficial effects: 1. The electric shock grid of the device of the present invention is supported by the bottom of the cage protective cover. It has a voltage range of 12V-24V and is made of galvanized steel wire. It has a spacing of 5mm, a pulse width of 10ms, an adjustable frequency (1-5 times / minute), and a current of less than 0.5A. The termite killing efficiency reaches over 90%. The surface of the grid is coated with a 0.1mm thick polyurethane insulation layer with a temperature resistance of 80°C to prevent short circuits. It is suitable for homes and public places, reducing the need for the use of chemical poison baits.
[0019] 2. The device of the present invention detects termite activity through an Internet of Things module (including an infrared sensor and a Wi-Fi chip) inside the cage protective cover. The infrared sensor has a detection distance of 30 cm and an accuracy of ±1 time. The data is transmitted to a mobile terminal application through the Wi-Fi chip with a delay of less than 500ms. The application supports remote switching of the device and adjustment of the electric shock frequency (1-5 times / minute). The data storage period is 30 days, and it supports line chart and heat map analysis. It is suitable for building management and termite research scenarios.
[0020] 3. The device of the present invention uses a bait box to release termite-specific attractants, including lignin (10%-20%), cellulose (5%-15%) and (Z,Z,E)-3,6,8-dodecatriene-1-ol (0.005%-0.05%), which are released through micropores at a rate of 0.1-0.5 mg / h. Combined with an adjustable attractant light source (wavelength 300-700nm), the attractant effect is optimized for different termite species. The capture rate is 30%-50% higher than that of traditional electric shock devices. It is suitable for termite control in household, agricultural and forestry environments, reducing damage to wood and buildings.
[0021] 4. The adjustable attractant light source of the device of the present invention adopts a multi-band LED module with a wavelength range of 300-700nm, including ultraviolet light (300-400nm), blue light (450-500nm) and red light (600-700nm). The power is 5W and can be adjusted with an accuracy of 5nm through a manual knob or an application. The light source has a built-in photosensor that automatically adjusts the brightness according to the ambient light intensity. The attractant efficiency is 20%-40% higher than that of a fixed light source. It is suitable for different termite species and day and night environments, extending the service life of the device to 20,000 hours.
[0022] 5. The attractant in this device is composed of lignin, cellulose, and a small amount of synthetic pheromone, all of which are biodegradable materials. The degradation cycle is approximately six months, and the residue has no significant impact on soil and water. The attractant is released through micropores at a steady rate (0.1-0.5 mg / h) and is effective for 30 days. It is suitable for use in ecologically sensitive areas such as farmland and nature reserves, reducing the ecological risks of chemical control methods.

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] Please see the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a termite trapping device, comprising: A spherical metal cage 1, with a cage protection cover 8 provided on the top of the spherical metal cage 1; An electric shock grid 2 is installed inside the spherical metal cage 1 and supported by the bottom of the cage protective cover 8; A base 3 is provided at the bottom of the spherical metal cage 1; A bait box 4 embedded in the base 3, the bait box 4 is filled with a termite-specific attractant; An Internet of Things module is provided inside the cage protective cover 8, and the Internet of Things module includes an infrared sensor 5 and a Wi-Fi chip 6; An adjustable attractant light source 7 is arranged inside the electric shock grid 2 and supported by the bottom of the cage protective cover 8.
[0029] Specifically, the spherical metal cage 1 is made of stainless steel, 1mm thick and 40cm in diameter. It has an anti-corrosion spray-coated surface to withstand high-humidity outdoor environments. The mesh spacing within the spherical metal cage 1 is 10mm, ensuring termites can enter while preventing larger insects or animals from straying in. The cage protective cover 8 is made of ABS plastic, 2mm thick, with 5mm diameter ventilation holes on the top to prevent overheating of the internal electronic components and protect the IoT module and attractant light source from rain. The electric shock grid 2 is supported by four fixed brackets at the bottom of the cage protective cover 8. Each bracket is 10cm long and made of galvanized steel. Bolts ensure stability. The electric shock grid 2 is installed 15cm from the bottom of the spherical metal cage 1. The base 3 is circular, 20cm in diameter and 5cm high. It is made of wear-resistant polyethylene and features four 2cm diameter anti-slip rubber pads on the bottom to enhance stability on uneven surfaces. The bait box 4 is secured to the base 3 with a snap, offering a 120ml internal volume. Made of polypropylene, it is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion. The IoT module includes a microcontroller (such as a Raspberry Pi Zero) operating at 5V and consuming less than 1W. The infrared sensor 5 uses a PIR module with a detection range of 30cm, and the Wi-Fi chip 6 supports the 2.4GHz frequency band, with a transmission range of up to 50m. The device weighs approximately 2kg, making it suitable for manual transport. It can be fixed to the ground using screws through the pre-set holes in the base 3.
[0030] Please see the attached Figure 3 -Attached Figure 4 The adjustable attractant light source 7 is a multi-band LED module with a wavelength range of 300nm to 700nm, and the wavelength can be adjusted by a manual knob or a mobile terminal application.
[0031] Specifically, the adjustable attractant light source 7 utilizes a multi-band LED module comprising three independent light-emitting units: ultraviolet (peak 370nm), blue (peak 475nm), and red (peak 650nm). Each unit delivers 1.67W of power, for a total of 5W. The LED module utilizes high-efficiency packaging technology and utilizes a 1.5mm thick aluminum substrate with a heat-dissipating silicone coating for heat dissipation. The operating temperature range is -10°C to 50°C. Wavelength adjustment is achieved via a manual knob mounted on the side of the cage protective cover 8. The knob has a diameter of 3cm and a rotation range of 0°-360°, corresponding to a linear wavelength adjustment from 300nm to 700nm. Alternatively, remote adjustment can be achieved via a mobile app, which provides a slider control interface with 5nm accuracy and a response time of less than 1 second. The LED module's driver circuit utilizes PWM (pulse width modulation) technology at a frequency of 1kHz, ensuring stable light output and a lifespan exceeding 20,000 hours. During installation, the light source is secured to the inside of the shock grid 2 with a waterproof seal made of 2mm thick silicone rubber to prevent moisture from entering. The light source's brightness automatically adjusts based on ambient light intensity. A built-in photosensor with a sensitivity of 0.1 lux is suitable for both daytime and nighttime scenarios.
[0032] The termite-specific attractant includes lignin with a content of 10%-20% and synthetic pheromone with a content of 0.01%-0.1%, which is released through the micropores of the bait box 4.
[0033] Specifically, the preparation process of the termite-specific attractant includes the following steps: First, lignin powder (particle size less than 50 μm) and deionized water are mixed in a 1:2 ratio and stirred for 30 minutes to form a uniform slurry. The lignin content is controlled at 10%-20% (by weight). Second, a synthetic pheromone solution is added, using high-purity (Z,Z,E)-3,6,8-dodecatrien-1-ol at a concentration of 0.01%-0.1%, accurately metered using a micropump. Next, the mixture is heated and stirred at 50°C for 1 hour. After cooling, the mixture is packaged in a bait box 4. Micropores are laser-drilled, with a diameter of 0.5 mm and a depth of 1 mm. There are 15 holes evenly distributed on the top surface of the bait box 4. The release rate is controlled by the pore diameter and internal pressure differential. At an ambient temperature of 20°C-30°C, the release rate is 0.2 mg / h. The attractant's volatility remains stable at humidity levels below 80%, making it suitable for a wide range of soil-dwelling and tree-dwelling termites, with an attraction rate of 85%. As a variant, 0.1% natural fragrance (such as rosin extract) can be added to further enhance the effect.
[0034] The termite-specific attractant also includes cellulose, with a content of 5%-15%.
[0035] Specifically, cellulose is used as a supplementary component of the termite-specific attractant, using high-purity microcrystalline cellulose with a particle size range of 20-40μm and a content of 5%-15%. It is added after screening and drying. The addition of cellulose enhances the attractant effect by increasing the porosity in the bait box 4. The specific method is to mix it with the lignin slurry and then press-mold it with a molding pressure of 10MPa, maintaining a porosity of 30%-40%. The hygroscopicity of cellulose significantly increases the tendency of termites at a humidity of 60%-80%. After adding cellulose, the attraction rate for termites is increased by about 20%. Cellulose also has biodegradable properties, and the residue can be decomposed in the natural environment with a degradation period of about 6 months. In a variant design, nanocellulose can be used instead of microcrystalline cellulose, and the particle size can be reduced to 10-20μm to further improve the attractant efficiency.
[0036] The synthetic pheromone includes (Z,Z,E)-3,6,8-dodecatrien-1-ol in an amount of 0.005% to 0.05%, and is slowly released through micropores at a rate of 0.1 to 0.5 mg / h.
[0037] Specifically, the synthetic pheromone (Z,Z,E)-3,6,8-dodecatrien-1-ol is prepared via organic synthesis, starting with dodecanol and then undergoing oxidation and olefination reactions. The purity reaches over 98% and is stored in a sealed container protected from light. The pheromone concentration is 0.005%-0.05%, and it is added to the bait box 4 via a microtitrator. Ethanol is used as a carrier at a concentration of 1%, for a total volume of 0.5 ml. The release mechanism is achieved through micropores (0.5 mm diameter) that utilize capillary action and diffusion. The release rate is controlled at 0.1-0.5 mg / h, optimized by adjusting the number of micropores (10-20) and the ambient temperature (20°C-35°C). Experimental results show that a release rate of 0.3 mg / h achieves optimal attractant efficacy against termite colonies, with an attraction range of up to 5 meters. The pheromone is effective for 30 days and requires regular replenishment. In the variant design, a micro heating element can be added to control the temperature at 30°C-40°C to accelerate the release to adapt to low temperature environments.
[0038] Please see the attached Figure 3 and attached Figure 7 The voltage range of the electric shock grid 2 is 12V to 24V. The electric shock grid 2 is made of galvanized steel wire with a spacing of 5mm.
[0039] Specifically, the electric shock grid 2 uses galvanized steel wire with a diameter of 1mm, a spacing of 5mm, and a total grid area of 200cm². During installation, it is fixed through four brackets at the bottom of the cage protective cover 8. Each bracket is equipped with an M4 bolt and the tightening torque is 2N·m. The voltage range is 12V to 24V and can be adjusted through an external power adapter. The output current is less than 0.5A. The pulse width when killing termites is 10ms and the frequency is 2Hz. The surface of the grid is treated with an insulating coating with a thickness of 0.1mm to prevent short circuits. The coating material is polyurethane with a temperature resistance of 80°C. The installation height of the electric shock grid 2 is adjustable, with an adjustment range of 10cm-20cm, which is achieved through the slide groove on the bracket, suitable for optimization of different termite activity heights. The grid is cleaned by compressed air blowing once a month to ensure conductive performance.
[0040] Please see the attached Figure 5 ,The IoT module uploads termite activity data to a mobile terminal application via the Wi-Fi chip 6. The application supports remote switching of the device and adjusting the shock frequency within the range of 1-5 times / minute.
[0041] Specifically, the IoT module's microcontroller uses a Raspberry Pi Zero with an 8GB memory card, runs Linux, and consumes 0.8W of power. The infrared sensor 5 is a PIR module with a 120° detection angle, adjustable sensitivity, a detection range of 30cm, and a sampling frequency of 1Hz. Data is transmitted to the microcontroller via an I2C interface. The Wi-Fi chip 6 supports IEEE 802.11b / g / n protocols, with a transmission rate of up to 150Mbps, AES-128 encryption, and a connection password length of 8-16 bits. The mobile terminal application, developed for Android and iOS, includes an on / off button, a frequency slider (1-5 times / minute), and a status indicator. Data upload uses the MQTT protocol with a latency of less than 500ms. The application also supports Bluetooth 4.0 backup connection with a transmission range of 10m for use in scenarios with weak Wi-Fi signals. A 4G module can be added in a variant design, extending the coverage range to 1km for use in remote areas.
[0042] Please see the attached Figure 8 ,The mobile terminal application also supports recording termite activity data, including ,approach times and timestamps, with a storage period of no ,less 30 days.
[0043] Specifically, the mobile terminal application uses an SQLite database to store termite activity data. The table structure includes "timestamp", "number of approaches" and "device ID", and each record occupies approximately 50 bytes. The number of approaches is counted by infrared sensors 5 with an accuracy of ±1 time, and the timestamp is recorded to the second level in the format of YYYY-MM-DDHH:MM:SS. The storage period is no less than 30 days, and the data is automatically backed up to the cloud using AWS S3 services. The storage space is allocated 1GB / device, and access rights are authenticated through OAuth2.0. The user interface provides data visualization, including line charts (counting the number of approaches by day) and heat maps (distribution by hour), and supports export to CSV format with a file size not exceeding 1MB. The data clearing function is automatically triggered every 30 days, retaining local records for the last 7 days; in a variant design, an alarm function can be added to send a push notification when the number of approaches exceeds 100 times / day.
[0044] Please see the attached Figure 4 and attached Figure 6 The power of the adjustable attracting light source 7 is 5W, and the wavelength adjustment includes ultraviolet light 300-400nm, blue light 450-500nm and red light 600-700nm.
[0045] Specifically, the LED module of the adjustable attractant light source 7 uses an SMD2835 package. Each LED measures 2.8mm x 3.5mm, and there are nine of them (three each in three wavelength bands). The luminous efficacy is 120lm / W. Power is 5W, operating current is 0.4A, and voltage is 12V. The driver circuit uses a constant-current IC with a ripple factor of less than 5%. Wavelength adjustment is achieved through PWM control: ultraviolet light (300-400nm) is used for nighttime attraction, blue light (450-500nm) is used for daytime auxiliary, and red light (600-700nm) is targeted at specific termite species. The switching time is less than 100ms. The light source is mounted in the center of the electric shock grid 2, with a 2cm gap around it. Heat dissipation is achieved through natural convection and top ventilation holes. The operating temperature does not exceed 60°C. After 5000 hours of continuous use, the brightness decay is less than 10%.
[0046] Please see the attached Figure 2 The bait box 4 is made of polypropylene, has a volume of 100 ml, and is provided with 10-20 micropores with a diameter of 0.5 mm for uniform release of the attractant.
[0047] Specifically, the bait box 4 is made of polypropylene with a density of 0.9 g / cm³ and a temperature resistance range of -20°C to 80°C. It is injection molded and has a wall thickness of 2 mm. It has a volume of 100 ml and is divided into two layers: the lower layer is filled with attractant, while the upper layer contains 15 micropores with a diameter of 0.5 mm and a depth of 1 mm. These pores are machined using CNC technology and are spaced 5 mm apart to ensure uniform release. The micropores are coated with a hydrophobic coating with a contact angle greater than 90° to prevent moisture clogging. The coating is 0.01 mm thick. The bait box 4 is secured to the base 3 with a snap-fit mechanism. The snap-fit mechanism has a clearance of 0.2 mm and a removal force of 5 N. Alignment with the locating pins on the base 3 is required during installation. Attractant release tests show that the release uniformity deviation is less than 5% at 20°C, making it suitable for long-term use. A transparent observation window made of polycarbonate and 1 mm thick can be added to facilitate inspection of the remaining attractant level.
