Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a flying pest catcher for attracting and capturing flying pests. Background Technology

[0002] For the purpose of controlling flying pests such as flies, various flying pest traps with internal attractants are available on the market. In order to efficiently attract flying pests to the traps, it is necessary to work on the structure of the traps and the attractants used.

[0003] Conventionally, there have been traps that provide a place for flying pests to rest by having a square-shaped protrusion facing upwards towards the container (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The trap in Patent Document 1 has an opening on the side of the protrusion for flying pests to enter, which can lure flying pests that have gathered and rested on the protrusion into the container through the opening.

[0004] Furthermore, the applicant has created a trap in which an attraction opening is formed in the cover portion that closes the tray portion containing the pesticide, attracting flying pests inward, and an annular edge is formed to surround the attraction opening (see, for example, Patent Document 2). With the trap of Patent Document 2, if a flying pest resting on the outer surface of the cover portion reaches a certain position on the annular edge, it can easily penetrate into the trap from the attraction opening along the annular edge, resulting in the flying pest falling onto the tray portion and being captured.

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

[0009] The problem that the invention aims to solve

[0010] In the trap described in Patent Document 1, a protrusion is provided for flying pests to alight. This protrusion is formed by a portion of the cover bulging upwards and protruding in a square shape. With this square-shaped protrusion, even if flying pests alight there, the large exposure to the surrounding area makes them more easily alerted, and the flying pests may sense human presence or other cues and escape from the protrusion. Furthermore, in this trap, the protrusion and the opening located on its side are not properly positioned, and the distance between them is relatively large, making it difficult for flying pests to move from the protrusion to the opening.

[0011] In the trap of Patent Document 2, an annular edge is formed in such a way that it surrounds the attraction opening. The annular edge does not bulge out significantly to the surrounding area, so it is not easy to make flying pests wary. Furthermore, the annular edge is positioned close to the attraction opening, so flying pests can easily move along the annular edge through the attraction opening and into the trap.

[0012] However, it is desirable to lure and capture not only flying pests that land on the trap, but also flying pests that hover around it. However, the trap in Patent Document 1, due to its large exposed protrusion, makes flying pests wary, thus making it difficult to capture flying pests hovering around the trap. Even the trap in Patent Document 2, which improves on this point, still has room for further improvement. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to provide a flying pest trap that is effective in capturing flying pests that hover around it as well.

[0013] Solution for solving the problem

[0014] Flying pests, such as fruit flies, flea flies, black-winged mushroom flies, and moth flies, have the habit of climbing against gravity (i.e., negative geotropism). This invention was conceived based on the idea of ​​applying this habit to a fly pest trap.

[0015] The flying pest trap of the present invention, which addresses the above-mentioned problems, is characterized by the following features:

[0016] The flying pest trap, which attracts and captures flying pests, comprises:

[0017] The cover has an induction opening that attracts the flying pests inward;

[0018] The tray portion, which stores the flying pests that invade from the attractant opening; and

[0019] The medicine dispensing section is housed in the tray section.

[0020] The cover has a cover portion and side portions.

[0021] The cover is provided with an annular raised portion for guiding the flying pest toward the attractant opening in a manner that follows the contour of the attractant opening, and the side portion extends to or near the bottom surface of the tray portion so that the cover portion covers the tray portion.

[0022] According to this flying pest trap, if a flying pest hovering around the trap reaches the bottom surface of the tray or the side of the cover near it, it will climb the side against gravity. Furthermore, if the flying pest reaches a point on the annular raised portion of the cover, it can easily penetrate into the trap through the attraction opening along the raised portion. As a result, the flying pest falls onto the tray and is captured. Therefore, it is effective in capturing flying pests hovering around the trap.

[0023] In the flying pest catcher of the present invention

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

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

[0026] In the flying pest catcher of the present invention

[0027] Preferably, a side linear ridge extending upward from the bottom surface of the tray portion or its vicinity is provided on the side portion.

[0028] This is a flying pest trap based on the structure.

[0029] A side linear ridge extending upward from the bottom surface of the tray portion or its vicinity is provided on the side portion, thus further enhancing the negative grounding property in conjunction with the tendency to move along the side linear ridge.

[0030] Next, the flying pest trap of the present invention, which addresses the above-mentioned problems, is characterized by the following features:

[0031] The flying pest trap, which attracts and captures flying pests, comprises:

[0032] The cover has an induction opening that attracts the flying pests inward;

[0033] The tray portion, which stores the flying pests that invade from the attractant opening; and

[0034] The medicine dispensing section is housed in the tray section.

[0035] The cover is provided with an annular raised portion for guiding the flying pest toward the attracting opening in a manner that follows the contour of the attracting opening, and the lower end of the cover is joined to the upper end of the tray in a manner that does not create a step between the cover and the tray.

[0036] Flying pests hovering around the trap will, due to their natural tendency, climb against gravity onto the outer surface of the tray and then ascend to the cover by passing between the tray and the cover. In this flying pest trap, the lower end of the cover and the upper end of the tray are joined in a manner that eliminates any steps between them, allowing flying pests to easily climb to the cover by passing between the tray and the cover. Furthermore, if a flying pest reaches a position on the annular raised portion of the cover, it can easily penetrate into the trap through the attraction opening along this raised portion. As a result, the flying pest falls onto the tray and is captured. Therefore, it is effective in capturing flying pests hovering around the trap.

[0037] In the flying pest catcher of the present invention

[0038] Preferably, the linear raised portion of the cover surface, which is connected to the annular raised portion, is provided on the cover portion.

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

[0040] In the flying pest catcher of the present invention

[0041] Preferably, a tray surface linear ridge extending upward from or near the bottom surface of the tray portion is provided on the tray portion.

[0042] According to the flying pest trap of this configuration, a tray surface linear ridge 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 tray surface linear ridge.

[0043] In the flying pest catcher of the present invention

[0044] Preferably, the pharmaceutical part contains a sweet flavoring as an attractant and a neonicotinoid insecticide as an insecticidal ingredient.

[0045] According to this flying pest trap, the attractant component in the chemical part is a sweet flavoring, which improves the aroma and fragrance, making it easy to use, for example, in the kitchen. Furthermore, the insecticidal component in the chemical part is a neonicotinoid insecticide, which, due to its low volatility, causes less repulsion from flying pests and does not hinder the attractant effect of the sweet flavoring, resulting in excellent pest trapping and killing effects.

[0057] The present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments described below and the configurations illustrated in the drawings.

[0058] [First Implementation Method]

[0059] <Overall Composition>

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

[0061] <Tray Section>

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

[0063] The tray body 5 is a cup-shaped container that stores flying pests (dead bodies) that enter through the attractant openings 21 and 22 (described later). The tray body 5 is configured with a pesticide receiving section 7 that holds the pesticide section 4 in a way that allows it to be inserted and removed. The pesticide section 4 is located on or near its inner bottom. Flying pests are attracted by the attractant components contained in the pesticide section 4, and then killed by the insecticidal components. The horizontal cross-section of the tray body 5 is configured to be rectangular, circular, or similar shapes for easy installation 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 mounting member 8 for positioning the medicine part 4 approximately in the center. In this embodiment, the sides of the medicine part 4 are restricted by four mounting members 8, thereby positioning the medicine part 4 approximately in the center of the medicine receiving section 7. After assembling the medicine part 4 between the four mounting members 8, the medicine part 4 is fixed by attaching a fixing part (not shown) to the mounting member 8. It should be noted that, in fixing the medicine part 4, a rod-shaped member penetrating the center of the medicine part 4, a clamp for holding the medicine part 4, etc., may be used instead of the mounting member 8 and the fixing part.

[0065] The outwardly projecting flange 6 is integrally provided on the tray body 5 for attaching and detaching the cover 3. The outwardly projecting flange 6 extends outward in a horizontal direction from the upper edge of the tray body 5 and extends over the entire circumference of the tray body 5. In the new product state, a barrier film (not shown) made of laminated aluminum film and resin film is attached to the outwardly projecting flange 6 to seal the medicine receiving part 7 and prevent the medicine contained in the medicine part 4 from drying out. In use, the cover 3 is attached to the tray body 2 with the barrier film peeled off from the outwardly projecting 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 mounting 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] Figure 3 The first embodiment of the flying pest trap 1A is shown, (a) is a top view, and (b) is a side view. Figure 3 As shown in (a) and (b), the cover 3 is formed into a shape that simulates the appearance of a carousel by means of injection molding, vacuum molding, bulging molding, blow molding, etc. 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 sides of the tray 2.

[0069] <Cover>

[0070] The cover 11 is configured as a hollow structure that bulges upward in a hemispherical dome shape, completely covering the upper surface of the tray 2. The cover 11 introduces external air into the flying pest trap 1A through the attractant openings 21 and 22 (described later), and allows the pesticide section 4 (see reference) to... Figure 2 The attractant components contained therein diffuse outwards. Additionally, the cover 11 ensures necessary ventilation and prevents the drug receiving section 7 (see reference 2) housed in the tray section 2 from diffusing outwards. Figure 2 The pharmaceutical part 4 is exposed.

[0071] <Side profile>

[0072] The side portion 12 is formed in a cylindrical shape, capable of completely surrounding the tray portion 2 by covering its entire side surface. The side portion 12 is integrally mounted vertically to 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 (abuts) or approaches the mounting surface S on which the tray portion 2 (flying pest trap 1A) is placed. Thus, 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 3Example (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 the vicinity of 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 of course 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 periphery of the outward flange portion 6 is used as the locking portion 15. Thus, by covering the tray portion 2 with the cover portion 3 and elastically engaging the locking portion 15 of the cover portion 3 with the outward flange portion 6 of the tray portion 2, the cover portion 3 is kept in an assembled state on the tray portion 2. On the other hand, if a certain 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 mounting the cover 3 to the tray 2 is not limited to the above method. For example, the engaging part of the cover 3 may be screwed in relative to the outward flange 6 of the tray 2.

[0074] <Enticement>

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

[0076] like Figure 3 As shown in (a), the first lure opening 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 lure opening 21 is provided in multiple locations (4 in this example) with a predetermined angular spacing (90° spacing in this example) around the vertex P of the cover 11 in the circumferential direction of the cover 11.

[0077] The second lure opening 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 portion 11 is at its maximum. Multiple second lure openings 22 are arranged around the vertex P of the cover portion 11 at a predetermined angular interval (90° interval in this example) in the circumferential direction of the cover portion 11, and are offset from the first lure opening 21 in the circumferential direction of the cover portion 11 by a predetermined angle (45° in this example) in phase.

[0078] It should be noted that the shapes of the attractant openings 21 and 22 are not limited to the shape of a rocking horse or a triangle. For example, they can be configured into any shape such as a flower, a circle, a quadrilateral, or a star. In addition, there are no particular limitations on the number and arrangement of the attractant openings 21 and 22. The number and arrangement can be appropriately set so that the attractant component contained in the agent section 4 can be thoroughly diffused around the flying pest trap 1A.

[0079] <Annular ridge>

[0080] like Figure 3 As shown in (a) and (b), a first annular protrusion 31 is provided on the outer surface of the cover portion 11. The first annular protrusion 31 is formed to protrude (raise) the outer surface of the cover portion 11 in a manner that surrounds the first lure opening 21. In addition, a second annular protrusion 32 is provided on the outer surface of the cover portion 11. The second annular protrusion 32 is formed to protrude (raise) the outer surface of the cover portion 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 to protrude (raise) the outer surface of the cover portion 11 in a circular shape around the apex P of the cover portion 11.

[0081] <Linear ridge>

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

[0083] The linear protrusions 41 and 42 are formed such that, in the cover portion 11, the diameter of the top annular protrusion 33 toward the horizontal cross-section of the cover portion 11 is maximized at the outer periphery (lower end position).

[0084] The linear ridge 41 (hereinafter referred to as "first cover linear ridge 41") is formed as a protrusion (ridge) that protrudes (raises) outward 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 such that the outer surface of the cover 11 protrudes (raises) in the outward direction in a form 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 such a way that it connects the second annular ridge 32 with the first cover linear ridge 41. The third cover linear ridge 43 is formed as a protrusion (ridge) that extends in the circumferential direction of the cover 11 in a downwardly curved state, so that the outer surface of the cover 11 protrudes (ridges) outward.

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

[0088] The linear ridge 45 (hereinafter referred to as "second side linear ridge 45") is configured to extend upward (directly upward or diagonally upward) from the bottom surface of the tray portion 2 on or near 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 in the vertical direction (up and down direction) continuously with the lower end of the second cover linear ridge 42, causing the outer surface of the side portion 12 to protrude (raise).

[0089] The protrusion height of the annular ridges 31, 32 and linear ridges 41-45 from the outer surface of the cover 3 is preferably 0.1-5 mm, more preferably 1-3 mm. When the protrusion height of the annular ridges 31, 32 and linear ridges 41-45 from the outer surface of the cover 3 is less than 0.1 mm, the protrusion is insufficient, and flying pests may deviate from the annular ridges 31, 32 and linear ridges 41-45 during movement, thus failing to be induced to the attraction openings 21, 22. When the protrusion height of the annular ridges 31, 32 and 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 attraction openings 21, 22 becomes larger, so even if flying pests approach the vicinity of the attraction 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 areas with chamfered or rounded corners. In this case, flying pests that remain on the outer surface of the cover 11 can easily cross the steps formed by the annular ridges 31, 32 or the linear ridges 41-45. Therefore, flying pests that are attracted to the area around the attracting openings 21, 22 are more likely to fall into the attracting openings 21, 22, which can improve the capture effect.

[0090] Pharmacy Department

[0091] The pesticide section 4, located on the tray section 2, releases the attractant component of the impregnated pesticide to the outside, attracting flying pests to the interior of the flying pest trap 1A. The attracted flying pests are then killed by contact with or ingestion of the insecticidal component in the pesticide. The pesticide section 4 can be configured as a component in which the pesticide is impregnated on an absorbent carrier. In this case, the carrier can be, for example, pulp nonwoven fabric or felt. To thicken the carrier, multiple layers of thin pulp nonwoven fabric or felt can be stacked. For pulp nonwoven fabric or felt, to maintain its shape while efficiently absorbing the pesticide, a web can be formed on the surface by hydroentangling or embossing. Alternatively, instead of pulp nonwoven fabric or felt, the carrier of the pesticide section 4 can be made of absorbent materials such as sponge, paper, or fiber aggregates. Alternatively, a component in which the liquid attractant and insecticidal components are mixed and solidified into a gel-like form can be used as the pesticide section 4.

[0092] The agent contains an attractant to lure flying pests into the interior of the tray section 2, and an insecticide to kill the flying pests.

[0093] In this invention, a substance containing a sweet flavoring is preferably used as the attractant. Examples of sweet flavorings include substances containing vanillin-based flavorings. Vanillin-based flavorings can be 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., and can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, vanillin and ethyl vanillin are preferred.

[0094] In addition, substances containing fragrance components from plants that attract flying pests can also be used as attractants. Examples of plants that attract flying pests include *Nepenthes* and *Pitcher Plant* (carnivorous plants), *Araceae* (insect-pollinated flowers within the Araceae subfamily), *Tulipa* (tulips and other tulips), and *Jasminum* (jasmine and other jasmine). Among these plants, *Araceae* plants are preferred. It should be noted that *Araceae* plants are sometimes classified under *Araceae*. Here, in this specification, both *Araceae* and *Araceae* are treated as *Araceae* plants. Using fragrance components from *Araceae* plants as attractants will not cause flying pests to become wary, and will more reliably lure and trap them inside the flying pest trap 1A.

[0095] It should be noted that it can also be used in conjunction with other attractants. Other attractants that can be used in conjunction include, for example, 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 pyrethroid insecticides include allethrin, propargyl, amitraz, pyrethrin, tetrafluorobenzyl, benzalkonium chloride, fenpropathrin, fenpropathrin, permethrin, cypermethrin, fenpropathrin, deltamethrin, bifenthrin, fenvalerate, cypermethrin, fenpropathrin, flufenoxuron, methoxyfenozide, cypermethrin, momfluorothrin, natural pyrethroids, and pyrethroid extracts. Compounds such as carbamates (e.g., carbaryl, propoxur, methomyl, thiophanate-methyl), organophosphates (e.g., fenitrothion, diazinon, malathion, pyridazine, prothiophanate-methyl, phoxim, chlorpyrifos, dichlorvos), dioxadazoles (e.g., cockroach-killing compounds), phenylpyrazoles (e.g., fipronil), sulfonamides (e.g., sulfadiazine), neonicotinoids (e.g., fipronil and imidacloprid), and insect growth control compounds (e.g., tebufenozide, tebufenozide, pyriproxyfen) can be used alone or in combination. Among these insecticides, fipronil, as a neonicotinoid compound, is particularly preferred because its low volatility reduces the repulsion of flying pests and does not hinder the attraction of attractants.

[0097] In addition to the attractants and insecticides mentioned above, the pesticide may also contain aliphatic polyols such as glycerin, sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, and thickening polysaccharides such as xanthan gum, as well as moisturizing ingredients. In this case, the pesticide's effectiveness can be maintained for a longer period. It is preferable to adjust the pesticide to an appropriate concentration using purified water.

[0098] As described above Figure 1In the flying pest trap 1A shown, if a flying pest resting on the outer surface of the cover 11 reaches a certain position on the annular ridges 31 and 32, it will move along the annular ridges 31 and 32 due to its habit. Similarly, if a flying pest resting on the outer surface of the cover 11 reaches the linear ridges 41, 42, and 43, it will move along the linear ridges 41, 42, and 43 due to its habit, and be guided towards the annular ridges 31 and 32. If it reaches a certain position on the annular ridges 31 and 32, it will move along the annular ridges 31 and 32. Flying pests moving along the annular ridges 31 and 32 easily invade the interior of the flying pest trap 1A through the attraction openings 21 and 22. Flying pests that invade the interior of the flying pest trap 1A through the attractant ports 21 and 22 fall onto the tray section 2 (see reference). Figure 2 It was captured by the flying pest catcher 1A.

[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 fall into one of two categories due to its habits: it will climb along the first side linear ridge 44, cross over to the first cover linear ridge 41 and further climb the first cover linear ridge 41, and be directly guided to the first annular ridge 31; or it will cross from the first cover linear ridge 41 to the third cover linear ridge 43, move along the third cover linear ridge 43, and be guided to the second annular ridge 32.

[0100] Furthermore, if a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1A reaches a certain position on the second side linear ridge 45, it will climb along the second side linear ridge 45 due to its habits and be directly guided to 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. Also, if it reaches a certain position on the third cover linear ridge 43, two scenarios exist: it moves along the third cover linear ridge 43 and is directly guided towards the second annular ridge 32; or it moves from the third cover linear ridge 43 towards the first cover linear ridge 41, climbs along the first cover linear ridge 41, and is guided towards the first annular ridge 31.

[0102] When a flying pest is guided towards 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 easily enters the flying pest trap 1A from the first attractant opening 21 along the first annular ridge 31. When a flying pest is guided towards 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, it easily enters the flying pest trap 1A from the second attractant opening 22 along the second annular ridge 32. The flying pests that have entered the flying pest trap 1A from the attractant openings 21 and 22 are captured by the flying pest trap 1A by falling onto the tray portion 2.

[0103] In this way, the flying pest is induced to the annular ridges 31 and 32 along the linear ridges 41-45. As a result, the likelihood of the flying pest entering the interior of the flying pest trap 1A through the attraction ports 21 and 22 increases, and it falls onto the tray 2. Furthermore, for the flying pest that falls onto the tray 2 and is blocked by the upper surface of the pesticide section 4, the insecticidal ingredient contained in the pesticide section 4 acts on the flying pest, thereby killing the flying pest at the upper surface of the pesticide section 4.

[0104] The flying pest trap 1A according to the first embodiment is effective not only for flying pests that are alighting on the cover 3, but also for 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 sides, thereby further improving the trapping effect. Furthermore, the trapped and killed flying pests can be easily visually identified through the attraction ports 21, 22 provided on the cover 3 (cover 11), allowing the insect-killing effect to be actually felt.

[0105] [Second Implementation]

[0106] Figure 4 This is a perspective view of the flying pest trap 1B according to the second embodiment. Figure 5 This is an exploded perspective view of the flying pest trap 1B according to the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the same or identical parts as in the first embodiment are labeled 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] like Figure 5 As shown, in the tray portion 2 of the flying pest trap 1B of the second embodiment, the outwardly protruding flange portion 6 (see reference) replaces the tray portion 2 of the first embodiment. Figure 2It has an inwardly projecting flange 55. The inwardly projecting flange 55 excludes the portion where the strip-shaped protrusion 9 is provided, and is formed in the desired circumferential portion of the tray body 5 in such a way that it extends inwardly in the horizontal direction from the upper edge of the tray body 5 without interfering with the arrangement member 8. Apart from this, it is basically the same as the tray 2 of the first embodiment.

[0109] <Cover>

[0110] The cover portion 3 is configured as a hollow structure that bulges upward in a hemispherical dome shape, completely covering the upper surface of the tray portion 2. That is, in the second embodiment, the cover portion 3 is configured with the cover portion 11 of the cover portion 3 in the first embodiment as the main body, and does not have the side portion 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 periphery 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 claws that can elastically engage with the outer periphery 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 an assembled state on the tray portion 2. On the other hand, if a certain 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 as a screw-in type.

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

[0114] <Enticement>

[0115] Figure 6 This is a top view of the flying pest trap 1B according to the second embodiment. A first attracting port 61 and a second attracting port 62 for attracting flying pests are provided in the hemispherical dome-shaped cover 3.

[0116] The first enticing opening 61 is formed in a flower shape at the midpoint between the vertex P of the cover portion 3 and the outer periphery where the diameter of the horizontal cross-section of the cover portion 3 is the largest. The first enticing opening 61 is provided in multiples (3 in this example) at a predetermined angular interval (120° interval in this example) around the vertex P of the cover portion 3.

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

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

[0119] <Annular ridge>

[0120] A first annular protrusion 71 is provided on the outer surface of the cover portion 3. The first annular protrusion 71 is formed as a protrusion (raise) that surrounds the first lure opening 61 and causes the outer surface of the cover portion 3 to protrude (raise) outward. In addition, a second annular protrusion 72 is provided on the outer surface of the cover portion 3. The second annular protrusion 72 is formed as a protrusion (raise) that surrounds the second lure opening 62 and causes the outer surface of the cover portion 3 to protrude (raise) outward.

[0121] <Linear ridge>

[0122] like Figure 4 As shown, 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 ridge 81 (hereinafter referred to as "first cover linear ridge 81") is formed to extend in a serpentine manner from the position of the first annular ridge 71 toward the outer periphery where the diameter of the horizontal cross-section of the cover 3 is the largest (lower end position). The first cover linear ridge 81 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 first annular ridge 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 connects with 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 3 by connecting the second annular ridge 72 with the first cover linear ridge 81.

[0126] A linear ridge 84 (hereinafter referred to as "first tray surface linear ridge 84") is provided to extend upward (directly upward or diagonally 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 surface 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 diagonally 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] As described above Figure 4 In the flying pest trap 1B shown, if a flying pest resting on the outer surface of the cover 3 reaches a certain position on the annular ridges 71 and 72, it will move along the annular ridges 71 and 72 due to its habit. Similarly, if a flying pest resting on the outer surface of the cover 3 reaches the linear ridges 81, 82, and 83, it will move along the linear ridges 81, 82, and 83 due to its habit, and be guided towards the annular ridges 71 and 72. If it reaches a certain position on the annular ridges 71 and 72, it will move along the annular ridges 71 and 72. Flying pests moving along the annular ridges 71 and 72 easily invade the interior of the flying pest trap 1B through the attraction openings 61 and 62. Flying pests that invade the interior of the flying pest trap 1B through the attractant ports 61 and 62 are captured by the flying pest trap 1B after falling onto the tray section 2.

[0129] On the other hand, if a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1B reaches a certain position on the linear ridge 84 of the first tray surface, it will either climb up the linear ridge 84 of the first tray surface, cross over to the linear ridge 81 of the first cover surface, and further climb up the linear ridge 81 of the first cover surface, and be directly guided to the first annular ridge 71; or cross over to the third linear ridge 83 of the cover surface, which is set in the form of a branch from the linear ridge 81 of the first cover surface, move along the linear ridge 83 of the third cover surface, and be guided to the second annular ridge 72.

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

[0131] Furthermore, 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 the outer surface of the tray portion 2 against gravity due to its habit. Also, 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 enters 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 enters the flying pest trap 1B from the second attractant opening 62 along the second annular ridge 72. The flying pests that have entered the flying pest trap 1B from the attractant openings 61 and 62 fall onto the tray section 2 and are captured by the flying pest trap 1B.

[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 likelihood of flying pests entering the interior of the flying pest trap 1B through the attraction ports 61 and 62 increases, causing them to 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 pest, causing it to die 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 according to the first embodiment, is effective not only in capturing flying pests that remain on the cover 3, but also in capturing flying pests that hover around the tray 2. In particular, it can further enhance negative geotropism in conjunction with the habit of moving along the linear ridges 84, 85 on the tray surface, thereby further improving the capture effect. Furthermore, the captured and killed flying pests can be easily visually confirmed through the attraction openings 61, 62 provided on the cover 3, allowing for a tangible experience of the insect-killing effect.

[0135] [Third Implementation Method]

[0136] Figure 7 This is a perspective view of the flying pest trap 1C according to the third embodiment. Figure 7 As shown, in the flying pest trap 1C of the third embodiment, the flying pest trap 1A of the first embodiment is omitted (see reference). Figure 1 The first side linear ridge 44 and the second side linear ridge 45 are described in the description of the flying pest trap 1C. According to this trap, if a flying pest hovering around the trap reaches the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the side ridge 12, it will, due to its nature, climb against gravity onto the outer surface of the side ridge 12. Furthermore, if it reaches a certain position on the second annular ridge 32, it will be directly guided towards the second annular ridge 32; if it reaches a certain position on the third cover linear ridge 43, it will move along the third cover linear ridge 43 and be guided towards the second annular ridge 32; or it will move from the third cover linear ridge 43 towards the first cover linear ridge 41, climb along the first cover linear ridge 41, and be guided towards the first annular ridge 31. Figure 7 and Figure 1 As shown, 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 pest is slightly away from the attraction openings 21 and 22, the flying pest 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 the flying pest entering the interior of the flying pest traps 1A and 1C from the attraction openings 21 and 22 is increased, and it will fall onto the tray portion 2 and be captured.

[0137] [Fourth Implementation Method]

[0138] Figure 8 This is a perspective view of the flying pest trap 1D according to the fourth embodiment. Figure 8 As shown, in the fourth embodiment of the flying pest trap 1D, the flying pest trap 1B of the second embodiment (see reference) is omitted. Figure 4 The first tray surface linear ridge 84 and the second tray surface linear ridge 85 are located in the tray 2. If a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1D reaches the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the tray 2, it will climb the outer surface of the tray against gravity due to its habit. Furthermore, if it reaches a certain position on 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 Implementation]

[0140] Figure 9 This is a perspective view of the flying pest trap 1E according to the fifth embodiment. Figure 9 As shown, in the fifth embodiment of the flying pest trap 1E, the flying pest trap 1C of the third embodiment is replaced (see reference). Figure 7 The fifth embodiment includes attraction ports 21 and 22, annular raised portions 31 and 32, and linear raised portions 41-43, while attraction ports 61 and 62, annular raised portions 71 and 72, and linear raised portions 81-83. Aside from this, it is essentially the same as the flying pest trap 1C of the third embodiment. The fifth embodiment also achieves the same effects as the third embodiment.

[0141] [Sixth Implementation Method]

[0142] Figure 10 This is a perspective view of the flying pest trap 1F according to the sixth embodiment. Figure 10 As shown, in the flying pest trap 1F of the sixth embodiment, compared with the flying pest trap 1E of the fifth embodiment (see reference...), Figure 9A linear ridge 86 is formed on the side surface 12 as a protrusion (ridge) protruding from the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the side surface 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 is configured to extend from the lower end of the side surface 12 in a continuous manner with respect to the lower end of the first cover linear ridge piece 81 toward a direction intersecting the vertical direction, forming a shape that combines a generally straight portion and a curved portion. The second linear ridge piece 86b is configured to extend downwardly in a curved shape toward the lower end of the side surface 12, branching from the junction of the generally straight portion and the curved portion in the first linear ridge piece 86a. The third linear raised piece 86c is configured to branch off from the middle of the generally straight portion of the first linear raised piece 86a and extend upward in a curved manner, continuous with the lower end of the second cover linear raised portion 82. According to the sixth embodiment, the same effects as the first and second embodiments with the same basic configuration can be obtained.

[0143] The flying pest catcher of the present invention has been described above based on several embodiments. However, 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.

[0144] [Example]

[0145] The following describes embodiments of the flying pest trap of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0146] (Capture Experiment: Confirmation of Capture Effects Based on Different Structures)

[0147] Representative flying pests, namely *Drosophila melanogaster*, *Drosophila heidelbergii*, and *Drosophila fusca*, were used as test insects. Figure 9 The flying pest trap 1E of the fifth embodiment shown is used as Example 1. Figure 10 The flying pest trap 1F of the sixth embodiment shown is Example 2, using the conventional flying pest trap 200 disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-102262 (see reference). Figure 11 As a comparative example 1, the same reagent 4 was used to count the number of captured insects within a certain time period, and the comparison results were calculated. Here, in Figure 11 In the figures, parts that are the same as those in the embodiments described above are labeled with the same reference numerals. Figure 11 In the conventional flying pest trap 200 shown, the cover 3 has an outwardly protruding flange 6 that connects with the tray 2 (see reference). Figure 2The connecting part 201 engages with the outward-facing flange 6. Therefore, in the flying pest trap 200, a step 202 is created at the engagement point between the outward-facing flange 6 and the connecting part 201. The results of the trapping tests conducted under the above conditions are shown in Table 1 below.

[0148] [Table 1]

[0149]

[0150] As shown in Table 1, a better capture effect was obtained in Example 1 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. 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 insect trap 1F reach the linear ridges 86, they will climb 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 test insects invading the trap from the attraction ports 61 and 62 is increased, and the overall capture effect of the test insects can be better.

[0152] It should be noted that although the data prompts are omitted, the use of... Figure 1 The flying pest trap 1A of the first embodiment shown and Figure 7 When the flying pest trap 1C of the third embodiment shown was tested in the same way as the trapping test 1 described above, it was also confirmed that the linear ridges 44 and 45 enhanced the negative geotropism. Figure 1 The flying pest catcher 1A shown can achieve a higher capture effect.

[0153] Industrial availability

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