Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to pest monitoring device technical field more specifically relates to a solenopsis invicta monitoring device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Solenopsis invicta is originally from the Parana River Basin in South America, and is extremely aggressive. When attacking, it will quickly bite and inject venom, causing severe pain, allergic reactions, and even shock or death, seriously affecting the normal order of people's production and life. In addition, solenopsis invicta also occupies houses, destroys crops, and damages cable equipment, causing damage to urban infrastructure and agricultural production. As of 2023, solenopsis invicta has spread to 12 provinces and 625 counties and cities in China, covering an area of more than 400,000 hectares. Moreover, solenopsis invicta also poses a serious threat to forestry, mainly through predation of invertebrates and biting of vertebrates, disrupting the ecological balance of forests and endangering the biodiversity of forest land. Solenopsis invicta also poses a safety hazard to forestry workers, increasing the cost of forestry management and control, and posing a serious challenge to forest ecology and forestry economy. Given its serious harm and widespread distribution, the prevention and control of solenopsis invicta is crucial.

[0003] In the prevention and control of solenopsis invicta, monitoring is a key link. Effective monitoring methods not only enable timely detection of the distribution and spread of solenopsis invicta, but also provide scientific basis for the development and implementation of control strategies. Common monitoring methods include visual observation, foot search, ground trapping, and pitfall trapping. Among them, visual observation involves observing the soil surface or plants in the survey area for the presence of ant hills or solenopsis invicta activity; foot search involves searching the entire area to find ant hills and using tools to insert into the ant hills to detect solenopsis invicta activity; ground trapping involves using monitoring tubes containing baits to attract solenopsis invicta, usually ham or honey; and pitfall trapping involves burying centrifuge tubes containing alcohol on the ground to collect solenopsis invicta within a certain period of time. However, these methods have some limitations: in forest and urban green areas, visual observation and foot search are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and can only detect solenopsis invicta that is active on the ground, without knowing the true distribution; ground trapping and pitfall trapping are easily disturbed by human activities or other animals, especially in urban areas, and may be cleaned up, resulting in inaccurate monitoring results; in addition, pitfall trapping requires a long time to set up and is difficult to implement on hard ground, with low efficiency. These methods are mainly used in rural and some urban areas, but their implementation in forest and urban green areas is limited, such as low monitoring efficiency, susceptibility to weather conditions, and the need for long-term training of practitioners.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a red imported fire ant monitoring device capable of widening the monitoring range, so that the monitoring collection work is no longer limited to the ground, but can be suitable for the monitoring collection of vertical space environment, and can more comprehensively capture the red imported fire ant activity is a problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.
