Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ant poison bait stations, specifically a red imported fire ant poison bait station. Background Technology
[0002] Red imported fire ants are aggressive towards humans and capable of repeated stings. They affect the health and quality of life of people in invaded areas, damage public facilities and electronic equipment, and cause financial losses in communications, medical care, and pest control. Once the ant nest is disturbed, red imported fire ants quickly emerge and launch a strong attack. The red imported fire ants clamp their mandibles onto the skin and sting the human body repeatedly with the chelicerae at the end of their abdomens. Each sting releases venom from their venom sacs. After being stung by a red imported fire ant, the human body experiences a burning pain, followed by blisters similar to burns. Most people only feel pain and discomfort, but a few people are allergic to the toxic proteins in the venom, which can cause anaphylactic shock and is potentially fatal. If the blisters or pustules rupture, secondary bacterial infections can easily occur if hygiene is not maintained. Therefore, the extermination of red imported fire ants is crucial.
[0003] According to Chinese Patent CN213463599U, this rodenticide bait station addresses the problems of existing rodenticide bait stations where the bait trough is close to the ground, resulting in poor ventilation, easy mold growth of the bait, difficulty for rats to eat it, short bait stations making it difficult for rats to enter, and bait being close to the burrow entrance, leading to spillage and environmental pollution. It also lacks the ability to monitor rat feeding in real time. The bait station includes a top cover, a bottom box, and a fixing plate. The top cover and bottom box are detachably connected, and the bottom box and fixing plate are detachably connected. This invention transmits data to a handheld device using a dynamic video detection system. The device, either on the machine or at the back end, can monitor and analyze the feeding behavior of rats in real time; the detachable connection between the bottom box and the fixing plate allows for a combination of indoor and outdoor rat control; the combination of baiting the bait trough with physical rat traps achieves the dual effect of chemical and physical rat control; and the space of more than 40cm facilitates rats to enter and inhabit, increasing the chances of catching rats. However, it cannot dispose of the carcasses of poisoned animals, and the toxin-containing carcasses can harm animals that accidentally ingest them. Therefore, a red imported fire ant poison bait station is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-2 The red imported fire ant bait station in this embodiment includes a bait station body 1 and an ant-attracting and processing mechanism. A top cover 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the bait station body 1.
[0020] The ant-attracting mechanism includes inclined blocks 3 fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the top of the bait station body 1. Slider blocks 4 are fixedly installed on opposite sides of each inclined block 3. Heating wires 5 are fixedly installed at the bottom of each inclined block 3. Ultraviolet lamps 6 are installed at the bottom of each inclined block 3. A drawer 7 is movably installed on the bottom inside the bait station body 1. A card frame 8 is fixedly installed on the right side of the drawer 7. A clamping block 9 is movably installed on both the front and back of the card frame 8, with one end penetrating and extending into the interior of the card frame 8. A movable block 10 is positioned between opposite sides of the clamping blocks 9. Limiting blocks 11 are fixedly installed on the top and bottom of the clamping blocks 9. A spring 12 is fixedly installed on the top inside the card frame 8, abutting against the movable block 10. A clamping block 13 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the movable block 10, with one end penetrating and extending outwards from the card frame 8. A fixing block 14 is fixedly installed on the bottom right side of the bait station body 1. The drawer 7 is fixed by a locking hole inside the 14 that engages with the locking block 13. The movable block 10 is a trapezoidal block that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The left and right inclined surfaces of the movable block 10 are movably connected to the clamping block 9, so that the movable block 10 can move upward when the clamping block 9 is squeezed. The inclined blocks 3 are higher on one side and lower on the other side. The outer side of the drawer 7 is in contact with the inner wall of the bait station body 1 to prevent rainwater and debris from being blown into the drawer 7. The bottom of the inclined blocks 3 is fixedly installed with a connecting plate. The ultraviolet lamp 6 is fixedly connected to the inclined blocks 3 through the connecting plate. The drawer 7 is a cuboid with a hollow interior and no top. The heating wire 5 and the ultraviolet lamp 6 are on the same vertical line as the drawer 7, so that the inside of the drawer 7 can be dried and sterilized. The left and right sides of the locking frame 8 are provided with movable holes that are adapted to the size of the clamping block 9. The positions of the drawer 7, the inclined block 3, and the slider 4 correspond to each other, so that the red imported fire ants can fall into the drawer 7.
[0021] It should be noted that the red imported fire ants fall into the drawer 7 after finding the poisoned bait. By setting up the slider 4, after the red imported fire ants eat the poisoned bait and die, the heating wire 5 and the ultraviolet lamp 6 dry and disinfect the red imported fire ant corpses. Squeezing the clamp 9 moves relative to each other, causing the locking block 13 to move upward, so that the drawer 7 can be pulled out to process the red imported fire ant corpses and add poisoned bait.
[0022] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: a pit is dug in a place with many red imported fire ants, and the bait station body 1 containing poison bait is buried in the soil, so that the red imported fire ant bait station is fixed in the soil. The red imported fire ants crawl along the inclined block 3 and fall onto the slider 4, and then fall into the drawer 7. The red imported fire ants eat the poison bait and die. The heating wire 5 and the ultraviolet lamp 6 dry and disinfect the red imported fire ant corpses. The red imported fire ant bait station is dug out, and the clamping block 9 is squeezed to move relative to each other, so that the locking block 13 that fixes the drawer moves upward. The drawer 7 is pulled out and the red imported fire ant corpses in the drawer 7 are cleaned.
