Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of red fire ant prevention and treatment, in particular to a red fire ant trapping device. Background Art

[0002] Red fire ants are omnivorous, soil-dwelling ants, and are national agricultural, forestry, and imported plant quarantine pests. They are recognized as one of the most dangerous invasive species in the world. This is because red fire ants can feed on seeds, fruits, young shoots, tender stems, and roots of plants, and can also aggravate the occurrence of other pests such as aphids, seriously affecting the growth of crops; they also prey on animals, destroy soil microecology, attack and bite humans and animals, and the bites will cause a burning pain, followed by the formation of blisters, and even cause allergic reactions in some sensitive people; more seriously, they damage irrigation systems, destroy outdoor and home-based telecommunications facilities, cause harm to agriculture, forestry, and public facilities, and seriously endanger public health safety.

[0003] At present, common prevention and control methods include poison bait trapping, liquid nest filling, powder nest killing, hot water nest filling, etc. Among them, poison bait trapping is a common prevention and control method, but the amount of bait used is difficult to confirm during the application process, and a measuring spoon needs to be prepared separately; if the bait is directly applied to the ground near the ant nest, it is easy to lose in windy or rainy weather; and the bait is not suitable for application in flowers that are frequently watered, and it is easy to be washed away by water, which is not conducive to prevention and control. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a trapping device for holding red fire ant bait. Utility Model Content

[0033] To further explain, the trapping shell 2 is in the shape of a shark head, and the profile of the trapping shell 2 includes a straight profile 21, a convex arc profile 22 and a concave turning profile 23 connected in sequence, and the trapping port 20 is opened at the concave turning profile 23.

[0034] The straight profile 21 and the protruding arc profile 22 form a waterproof brim, which effectively reduces the scouring from rainwater and artificial watering, thereby improving the utilization rate of the bait and preventing the bait washed away by rainwater from polluting the environment, thereby achieving the purpose of safety and efficiency.

[0035] The bionic design is made according to the living habits of red fire ants. The trapping opening 20 is opened at the concave turning line 23, so that the red fire ants can smell the odor and crawl into the bait in the feeding and carrying device through the opening during the test.

[0036] Further description, it also includes a second collecting cover 5, which is detachably mounted on the trapping cylinder 1, and an anti-escape space is formed between the second collecting cover 5 and the first collecting cover 3 in the trapping cylinder 1.

[0037] Before use, Figure 3 As shown, the trapping cylinder 1 may be filled with red fire ant bait, and a first collecting cover 3 and a second collecting cover 5 are installed at both ends thereof, which can facilitate the transportation of the red fire ant bait and prevent the red fire ants from escaping and the red fire ant bait from falling.

[0038] After use, if Figure 3 As shown, the trapping cylinder 1 contains trapped red fire ants and residual red fire ant bait. Replacing the trapping shell 2 with the second collecting cover 5 can prevent the red fire ants from escaping and the red fire ant bait from falling, making it easier to transfer.

[0039] To further explain, the outer surface of the trapping cylinder 1 is also provided with a scale layer 6 arranged along its length direction.

[0040] In this embodiment, the scale layer 6 can be used to determine the dosage of pesticides for different ant nests, and the required amount of red fire ant bait can be quickly filled according to the scale in the laboratory or outdoors without the need for an additional measuring spoon. This can shorten the time for manual weighing and thus shorten the time for pesticide applicators to work outdoors, especially in the hot summer, which can effectively reduce the risk of heatstroke and the like caused by long-term outdoor work for pesticide applicators.

[0041] To further explain, the fixing assembly 4 includes at least two fixing pointed feet, and the fixing pointed feet are symmetrically arranged on the outer cylinder surface of the trapping cylinder 1.

[0042] Specifically, this embodiment has four pointed feet that can be fixed in the test area, so as to be easily inserted into the soil or rotten wood beside the ant nest to prevent the trapping cylinder 1 from being blown away due to strong wind, which can effectively improve the utilization rate of the bait and also prevent the trapping cylinder 1 from being blown into the water body and polluting the water body with the bait.

[0043] To further explain, the opening diameter of the trapping cylinder 1 is 3-5 cm, and the length of the trapping cylinder 1 is 10-15 cm.

[0044] The utility model has a small size and is easy to carry. The bait can be directly placed therein, has good sealing performance and is convenient to transport. The loss rate of the bagged bait during transportation after it is opened is improved, and the smell of the bait is prevented from dissipating.

[0046] Since the threaded connection method can make the threads of the two parts firmly bite, a close-fitting and sealing effect is achieved to prevent the red fire ant bait from leaking. In addition, compared with other connection methods, the threaded connection has the advantages of easy disassembly and low production cost, which helps to save certain costs.

[0047] To further explain, the trapping cylinder 1, the trapping shell 2, the first collecting cover 3 and the second collecting cover 5 are all made of waterproof material, such as plastic.

[0048] The utility model is made of waterproof material and can be used in a wide range of scenarios during use, such as park flower bushes, courtyards, plantations, etc. that are frequently watered. It can effectively reduce the erosion of rainwater and artificial sprinkling, thereby improving the utilization rate of the bait, and at the same time prevent the bait washed away by rainwater from polluting the environment, thereby achieving the purpose of safety and efficiency.
