Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to, but is not limited to, the field of insect trapping technology, and particularly relates to a multi-purpose trap with pheromones and different wavelength colors. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, pests pose a serious threat to the healthy development of agriculture and forestry, easily causing severe economic and ecological losses. Pest control in agriculture and forestry often relies on chemical methods. The extensive use of chemical pesticides not only pollutes the environment but also leads to pesticide residues and resistance, hindering the green and sustainable development of agriculture and forestry. Therefore, it is imperative to seek greener, healthier, and more effective control methods to meet the requirements of pesticide reduction and green pest control.

[0003] Traditional pheromone traps are mostly made of plastic or other rigid materials, making them inconvenient to carry and deploy, and their structures are complex. Ordinary adhesive traps rely solely on adhesiveness and lack effective attracting components. The adhesive is easily contaminated by dust and debris during transportation and storage, leading to a weakening of its stickiness. Traditional pheromone traps target only a single object, while traditional color-block traps have a wide range but low trapping efficiency. To increase trapping efficiency, pheromone traps and color-block traps are often used simultaneously in the same field, increasing control costs and easily causing agricultural pollution. Therefore, a new, efficient, and multifunctional trap is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a multi-functional trap for tomato leafminer moths.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a multifunctional trap for tomato leafminer moths includes a trap body (the outer layer of the body is white, and the inner layer is selected with different wavelengths of color, such as yellow, blue, green, pink, and black, according to the color attraction of the pests). The body has a folding structure and is provided with pre-folded creases, which can be folded into a flat or three-dimensional shape as needed. The body is provided with an adhesive layer, and the adhesive layer contains chemical or natural pheromone components that target specific pests. A protective paper layer is provided on the adhesive layer.

[0006] Furthermore, the main body of the trap is made of environmentally friendly biodegradable cardboard.

[0007] Furthermore, a layer of high-viscosity adhesive is evenly coated onto the central area of ​​the cardboard.

[0008] Furthermore, the protective paper layer is a thin paper.

[0009] Based on the above technical solutions and the technical problems solved, the advantages and positive effects of the technical solution to be protected by this utility model are as follows:

[0010] 1. Highly efficient pest capture: The adhesive, infused with pheromones, effectively attracts pests, significantly improving trapping efficiency. Once attracted to the adhesive area by the pheromones, pests adhere firmly and are difficult to escape, thus achieving highly efficient capture.

[0011] 2. Ease of use and portability: The trap is designed with lightweight cardboard and thin paper, making it simple and lightweight overall. When folded, it is small in size, easy to carry and deploy at any time, and suitable for various applications such as home, agriculture, and warehousing.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a trap, comprising:

[0019] The main body of the trap is made of environmentally friendly biodegradable cardboard with a foldable structure for easy carrying and placement. Pre-creases are provided on the cardboard, allowing it to be unfolded into a flat or three-dimensional structure to suit different needs.

[0020] Adhesive layer 2: A high-viscosity adhesive is evenly coated on the middle area of ​​the cardboard. The adhesive has long-lasting adhesion properties, which can ensure that pests are firmly stuck after contact and are not easy to fall off.

[0021] Bait fusion: Chemical or natural pheromones targeting specific pests are added to the adhesive, causing the bait's scent to be gradually released, attracting the pests. The pheromones can be sugars, plant components favored by pests, or specific insect pheromones to enhance the trapping effect.

[0022] Protective tissue layer 3: Cover the adhesive with a layer of tissue paper to prevent the adhesive from being exposed and contaminating other objects during transportation and storage. The protective tissue paper layer can be easily peeled off to activate the adhesive's attraction.

[0023] The specific functions of the trap provided in this embodiment of the utility model are as follows:

[0024] 1. The role of the structure and materials of the trap

[0025] The main body of the trap 1 is made of environmentally friendly biodegradable cardboard, designed with a folding structure and pre-creases, allowing it to be folded into a flat or three-dimensional shape as needed. This structure not only facilitates carrying and placement but also provides a stable base for applying adhesive. Furthermore, the biodegradable and environmentally friendly cardboard material allows the trap to naturally degrade after use, meeting environmental protection requirements and making it suitable for pest control in various environments such as homes and farms.

[0026] 2. Adhesive effect of adhesive layer 2

[0027] A high-viscosity adhesive layer is evenly coated in the center of the biodegradable cardboard, providing long-lasting adhesion. Once pests come into contact with the adhesive layer, the strong adhesion ensures they are firmly stuck and unable to escape. This adhesive layer maintains its stickiness even when used outdoors, retaining its high adhesion performance for an extended period. This design effectively reduces the capture failure rate caused by pests struggling to escape, thereby improving the trapping effect.

[0028] 3. The attraction mechanism of pheromones

[0029] The adhesive incorporates chemical or natural pheromones that attract pests. These pheromones are gradually released to attract insects. The pheromone composition can be selected based on the target pest's preferences, such as plant extracts, sugars, or insect pheromones, ensuring maximum attraction. Once the pest approaches the scent source, it adheres to the adhesive layer. The continuous release of the bait also ensures a long trapping period, thereby increasing the trap's lifespan and capture success rate.

[0030] 4. Protective function of the protective paper layer 3

[0031] To prevent contamination of the adhesive during transportation or storage, a thin paper layer is designed to cover the adhesive layer. During storage, the paper effectively protects the adhesive from dust, debris, and other contaminants, and also prevents the adhesive from accidentally adhering to other objects. In use, the user simply tears off the paper to expose the adhesive and pheromones, instantly activating the trapping effect. This design enhances the portability and ease of use of the trap.

[0032] 5. Deployment and placement of the traps

[0033] Before use, the trap can be folded for easy storage and carrying. When in use, it unfolds into a flat or three-dimensional shape and is placed in areas where pests frequently appear. The folding design not only saves storage space but also facilitates rapid deployment. Due to its lightweight and stable characteristics, users can place or hang it in greenhouses and open fields with various economic crops such as tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, potatoes, ginseng fruit, and tobacco, as well as in outdoor gardens and bushes where pests are active, achieving targeted trapping.

[0034] 6. Durability of the trapping effect

[0035] This trap combines a highly viscous adhesive with a continuously emitting pheromone component, enabling it to effectively capture pests for an extended period. The pheromone continuously releases its scent to attract pests during use, while the adhesive ensures that captured pests cannot easily escape. The synergistic effect of the adhesive and pheromone effectively extends the trap's lifespan, making it an efficient, simple, and convenient pest capture solution.

[0036] Instructions for use: Fold and unfold the cardboard, tear off the covering paper layer, and the adhesive and pheromones will be exposed and continuously released. The trap can be placed or hung in areas where pests are present. The pheromones will release an attractive scent, luring the pests to the adhesive area, where they will get stuck and captured.

[0037] Example 1: A trap for fruit flies

[0038] Trapper body:

[0039] Made of environmentally friendly and biodegradable cardboard, it has a three-dimensional folding box structure that opens into a square or trapezoidal shape, making it convenient to place in fruit storage areas, kitchens, or orchards.

[0040] Ventilation holes are provided on the cardboard to facilitate the diffusion of odors.

[0041] Adhesive layer:

[0042] A high-viscosity, long-lasting adhesive is evenly coated in the middle of the cardboard to ensure that fruit flies are firmly stuck once they come into contact with it.

[0043] The adhesive formula is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, making it suitable for home use.

[0044] Lure Fusion:

[0045] Natural sugar components (such as honey extract) and fruit vinegar, which attract fruit flies, are added to the adhesive. The slow-release technology gradually releases the attractive scents.

[0046] Adding a low concentration of fruit fly sex pheromones can also improve the trapping effect.

[0047] Protective paper layer:

[0048] Cover with a layer of easy-tear protective paper to prevent contamination or malfunction during transportation and storage. To use, simply tear off the paper to activate the trap.

[0049] Example 2: Indoor cockroach trap

[0050] Trapper body:

[0051] The cardboard has a folding structure that can be assembled into a cuboid or roof-shaped structure, and its appearance is designed to mimic a hidden environment (such as a dark crevice).

[0052] The main body is made of biodegradable cardboard, and there is an anti-slip pad on the bottom, making it suitable for placement in various corners of the room.

[0053] Adhesive layer:

[0054] The central area is uniformly coated with a high-viscosity, dust-resistant, long-lasting adhesive that maintains its adhesion even in humid environments.

[0055] Lure Fusion:

[0056] Add ingredients that cockroaches like (such as breadcrumb extract or grain scent) to the adhesive, along with cockroach aggregation pheromones. By slowly releasing the scent, the trap attracts cockroaches and causes them to stick.

[0057] To counteract the nocturnal activity of cockroaches, a black or low-reflective coating can be applied to the inner wall of cardboard to create a dark environment and increase the trapping rate.

[0058] Protective paper layer:

[0059] The adhesive surface is covered with a peelable protective paper to ensure that no foreign matter adheres to the adhesive surface during transportation and storage, and to facilitate activation when needed.

[0060] The two specific embodiments above are designed differently for the habits and needs of different pests (fruit flies and cockroaches) to improve trapping effectiveness and practicality. For further adjustments, please provide specific requirements or application scenarios.
