Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of termite prevention and control, in particular to a bamboo tube type termite trapping and killing device. Background Art

[0002] For the prevention and control of termites on earthen dams of water conservancy projects, in addition to the use of methods such as spraying drugs on the dam surface and drug grouting, a more common and environmentally friendly method is to bury underground monitoring stations in the soil and put bait in the monitoring stations to kill termites. However, this method is not suitable for reservoir dams with blocks of stone on the surface and the surface paved with stone strips into steps (hereinafter referred to as block stone slope protection and stone strip slope protection), because the stones on the surface of existing dams are basically laid side by side in sequence. If underground monitoring stations are to be installed on block stone slope protection and stone strip slope protection, the blocks or stones on the surface need to be pried open and removed, which is obviously a lot of work and will bring safety hazards to the dam. Therefore, stone strip slope protection, block stone slope protection, etc. still use spraying and drug grouting to prevent and control termites, but these methods easily lead to the problem of drugs penetrating into the soil, polluting water sources, and endangering other non-target organisms.

[0003] In order to find an environmentally friendly termite trapping device suitable for block stone slope protection and strip stone slope protection, the inventor found through extensive research that because the hollow parts of bamboo tubes and tree holes are dark and damp, termites like to drill into the hollow structures of bamboo tubes or tree holes. Therefore, the inventor thought of using bamboo tubes as bait storage to trap and kill termites. During the research process, it was found that the prior art discloses a termite trapping tube (publication number: CN202104147U; application date: 2011-05-12). This termite trapping tube also uses a sealed cylinder made of bamboo or wood. The two ends of the cylinder are sealed. A filling port and a cover that closes the filling port are provided on the side wall of one end of the cylinder. The inner cavity of the cylinder is filled with bait to trap and kill termites. However, the prior art still has the following problems:

[0004] 1. The existing technology requires digging a 20cm deep, appropriately sized pit, placing the trapping tube flat inside, and then covering it with soil. This termite trapping tube can also be configured with a pointed end, inserted downwards into the ground to trap and kill termites. Regardless of the method of use, the existing technology requires burial in the soil, making it unsuitable for trapping termites on stone or block slope protection.

[0005] 2. After the termite killing tube is filled with bait, the opening is sealed with a cover, forming a closed space inside the tube. The smell of the bait is difficult to emit, making it difficult for the bait to attract termites, and the effect of attracting termites is poor.

[0006] 3. In addition, the sealed opening of the tube prevents termites from entering, further reducing the effectiveness of the termite attraction. Termites can only bite through the tube to obtain the bait, but termites do not like to chew through the smooth and hard surface of the bamboo tube. Therefore, this structure makes it more difficult for termites to obtain the bait, reducing the effectiveness of the termite attraction. Utility Model Content

[0007] The utility model aims to provide a bamboo tube-type termite trapping device to solve the problems of poor termite trapping effect of existing control technologies, chemical pollution of soil, water and other environments, and killing of non-target organisms.

[0008] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] A bamboo tube-type termite trapping device comprises at least one bamboo tube, one end of which is sealed by a bamboo node and the other end is open. Bait is placed in the bamboo tube, and a blocking member for preventing the bait from falling out is fixed in the bamboo tube.

[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, the opening is an opening arranged obliquely.

[0011] Preferably, as an improvement, the bamboo tube is placed on the surface of the dam, with the sealed end of the bamboo tube facing the top of the dam and the open end of the bamboo tube facing the bottom of the dam.

[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, a gap is left between the blocking member and the opening.

[0013] Preferably, as an improvement, when the bamboo tube is placed on the surface of the dam, the opening faces the surface of the dam.

[0014] Preferably, as an improvement, the blocking member is a plurality of blocking bars, and the plurality of blocking bars are arranged in parallel or in a mesh shape.

[0015] Preferably, as an improvement, the blocking member is a grid structure formed by intersecting metal wires, or a mesh structure formed by arranging a plurality of metal wires that do not intersect with each other.

[0016] Preferably, as an improvement, both ends of the metal wire are passed through and fixed on the bamboo tube.

[0017] The principles and beneficial effects of this program are:

[0018] 1. The termite trapping device of this technology has a wider range of applicable scenarios and can achieve better trapping effects: In addition to being used by burying it in the soil using the traditional method, this solution can also be placed on the surface of the dam or inserted into the gaps on the surface of the dam with the opening facing downwards (for example, using the gaps between adjacent stone blocks and inserting its opening into the gaps). It can be used in a variety of ways. When used on stone slope protection or block stone slope protection, the bamboo tube can be directly placed flat on the dam surface and fixed with tools. If conditions permit, the opening of the bamboo tube can also be inserted into the stone cracks and fixed with tools. Although the bamboo tube is not buried in the soil in these two methods, the hollow structure inside the bamboo tube creates a dark environment that termites like. In addition, the bait inside the bamboo tube can still effectively lure termites into the bamboo tube without the need to excavate the dam. It is particularly suitable for stone slope protection and block stone slope protection.

[0019] 2. This solution uses bamboo tubes as bait storage, taking advantage of the fact that termites prefer the dark environment inside bamboo tubes. In addition, the bait placed inside the bamboo tubes can more easily lure termites into the bamboo tubes. The existing technology relies entirely on termites to bite through the bamboo tubes to eat the bait inside the bamboo tubes. This not only increases the difficulty for termites to eat and reduces the luring effect, but also the bait inside the bamboo tubes falls out from the bitten holes after the bamboo tubes are bitten through. In cases where the bite is severe, the bamboo tubes may even fall apart, eventually causing the bait to scatter directly into the soil, increasing the risk of soil contamination by the agent. Compared with the existing technology, this solution deliberately opens one end of the bamboo tube as a feeding channel for termites to enter the bamboo tube. Termites do not need to bite through the bamboo tubes, but can enter the bamboo tubes directly from the opening, making it simple for termites to feed. At the same time, this opening makes it easier for the bait to emit a scent to lure termites, thereby increasing the luring effect. In addition, a blocking piece is provided at the opening to block the bait, which can effectively prevent the bait from slipping or falling out, greatly reducing or even avoiding the pollution of the agent to the soil and water bodies, as well as the harm to non-target organisms.

[0020] 3. This solution incorporates an inclined opening at one end of the bamboo tube, which not only facilitates insertion of the opening into cracks on the dam surface, but more importantly, when placed on the dam surface, with the opening facing the bottom of the slope, it effectively prevents rainwater flowing along the dam surface from washing into the bamboo tube. Furthermore, the inclined surface of the bamboo tube opening faces the dam surface, effectively preventing rainwater from directly falling into the bamboo tube. This effectively reduces or even prevents problems such as water accumulation and bait mildew caused by rain. Furthermore, the inclined opening effectively expands the area of ​​the bamboo tube opening, thereby widening the channel for the bait's flavor to disseminate and for termites to feed, further enhancing the termite attraction effect.

[0021] 5. This solution creates a gap between the barrier and the opening, preventing contact between the barrier and the soil when the bamboo tube is inserted vertically into the soil. This effectively prevents contamination of the bait by contact with the soil. Even when buried in the soil, the barrier at the bamboo tube opening provides a certain degree of protection against soil contact with the bait. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of Example 1 of the utility model when in use.

[0025] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of Example 2 of the present utility model when in use. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0027] The reference numerals in the drawings of the specification include: bamboo tube 1, bamboo node 11, opening 13, blocking member 2, dam surface 3, stone crevice 4.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a bamboo tube-type termite trapping device includes a bamboo tube 1, a bamboo node 11 is retained at the top of the bamboo tube 1 and is naturally sealed by the bamboo node 11, and the bottom end of the bamboo tube 1 is cut off to form an inclined opening 13. In actual use, the number of bamboo tubes 1 can be selected according to needs. If more than one bamboo tube 1 is used, only the topmost bamboo node 11 is retained, and the middle bamboo node 11 needs to be poked open to make the inside of the bamboo tube 1 connected. In this embodiment, one bamboo tube 1 is used as an example for introduction.

[0030] Combine Figure 2 As shown, a bamboo tube 1 is used to place bait (not shown in the accompanying drawings). In this embodiment, the bait is made of large pieces of bait such as bark, wood, or wood blocks. A plurality of blocking members 2 are fixed to the opening 13 of the bamboo tube 1 to prevent the bait from falling out. A gap is left between the blocking members 2 and the opening. In this embodiment, the blocking members 2 are made of iron wire, which are arranged in a parallel manner. During processing, holes are punched in the side walls of the bamboo tube 1, the iron wires are passed through, and the ends of the iron wires are tied and secured. In other embodiments, the blocking members 2 can also be made of ropes, rubber strips, etc., and the blocking members 2 can also be arranged in a cross-shaped manner.

[0031] This solution can be applied to earthen dams, dams with stone slope protection or block stone slope protection, and is particularly suitable for reservoir dams with stone slope protection or block stone slope protection. This embodiment takes the reservoir dam with stone slope protection or block stone slope protection as an example to introduce the use of this solution. In this embodiment, the following method is adopted:

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, after bait is loaded into a bamboo tube 1 and blocked with a blocking member 2, the bamboo tube 1 is then placed flat on the surface of the embankment, with the sealed end of the bamboo tube 1 facing the top of the embankment (embankments in the prior art have a slope), the opening 13 of the bamboo tube 1 facing the bottom of the embankment, and the opening 13 of the bamboo tube 1 facing the surface of the embankment. The bamboo tube 1 is then fixed to the embankment surface 3 using existing tools such as wire. The fixing process can be done by tying the bamboo tube 1 with wire and then directly inserting the ends of the wire into the soil, or by using other methods such as ground nails to fix the wire to the embankment.

[0033] In this embodiment, there's no need to excavate the embankment. Instead, bamboo tubes 1 are placed directly on the embankment surface 3. The hollow interior of bamboo tubes 1 creates a dark, shady environment favored by termites. Combined with the bait inside, bamboo tubes 1 effectively lure termites into the tubes 1. One end of the opening 13 of bamboo tubes 1 faces the bottom of the embankment slope, effectively preventing rainwater flowing down the embankment from scouring into the tubes 1. Furthermore, opening 13 of bamboo tubes 1 faces the embankment surface, preventing rainwater from directly entering the tubes 1 compared to openings facing the sky. This effectively prevents water from accumulating in the tubes 1 and preventing the bait from becoming moldy. This method of use in this embodiment can trap and kill termites on the embankment surface 3 and in the soil.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 lies in the different methods of use. In this embodiment, the opening 13 end of the bamboo tube 1 can be vertically inserted into the soil. Since there is a gap between the blocking member 2 and the opening, the blocking member 2 does not come into contact with the soil after the bamboo tube 1 is inserted into the soil, which can effectively prevent the bait from coming into contact with the soil and thus prevent soil contamination. This embodiment can be applied to stone slope protection, block stone slope protection, or ordinary earth slope protection. When used on stone slope protection or block stone slope protection, the bamboo tube 1 should be inserted into the stone crevices 4 on the embankment surface 3. Taking stone slope protection or block stone slope protection as an example, the method of this embodiment can also create a dark environment on the embankment surface 3 that termites like. Since the opening 13 of the bamboo tube 1 faces downward, termites can enter the bamboo tube 1 from the soil. Therefore, this embodiment is more suitable for luring and killing termites in the soil.

[0036] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention, and the commonly known specific technical solutions and / or features of the solution are not described in detail here. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, several variations and improvements can be made, which should also be considered as the scope of protection of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
