Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forest pest control technology, specifically a longhorn beetle trapping and killing device. Background Technology

[0002] The red-edged longhorn beetle is one of the major trunk-boring pests in sea buckthorn forests in Ningxia. The adult is 15-24 mm long, with a grayish-black body and reddish-brown or dark brown wings. Its pronotum is well-developed with tubercles and lateral hairs. This insect has one generation per year, overwintering as larvae under the bark or inside the trunk. Adults emerge from late May to early August. Eggs are laid in bark crevices. The larvae bore into the trunk, causing damage. The life cycle is approximately 2-3 years, with the adult stage lasting about 2 months. The red-edged longhorn beetle is mainly distributed within a height range of 40-120 cm on sea buckthorn trunks, and its damage locations largely overlap with those of the sea buckthorn wood-boring moth, leading to fierce competition.

[0003] Currently, there are limited methods for controlling the red-edged longhorn beetle. Traditional methods involve injecting or spraying organophosphates or pyrethroids into the tree trunk to kill larvae and adults. Alternatively, one method involves manually locating eggs and larval boreholes on the trunk and controlling the beetles by scraping the bark, hooking them off, or pruning the affected branches. However, these methods have significant drawbacks:

[0004] Pesticide residues can easily remain in fruits and soil, posing a threat to the ecological environment and the safety of humans and livestock; long-term use may lead to pesticide resistance in pests, reducing the effectiveness of control; multiple applications are required, resulting in high labor costs, and it is difficult to effectively cover the upper and middle parts of the trunks of tall trees.

[0005] The limitations of manual control are:

[0006] Relying on a large amount of manpower is extremely inefficient and makes it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale sea buckthorn forest control; larvae hide inside the bark or xylem, making it difficult for manual identification and removal, resulting in a high rate of missed control; pruning branches may damage the tree's growth structure, affecting the ecological benefits and economic value of sea buckthorn forests.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient and environmentally friendly trapping and extermination device. Utility Model Content

[0025] 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.

[0026] Example 1: To address the issues of low efficiency and environmental unfriendliness in existing longhorn beetle trapping and extermination devices, please refer to... Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] A longhorn beetle trapping and extermination device includes a column 1 and a base 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the column 1. An observation mechanism is provided in the middle of the outer surface of the column 1. A trapping box 4 is connected to the bottom of the observation mechanism. An installation frame 7 is bolted to the middle of the outer surface of the column 1. An electrical control box 6 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the installation frame 7.

[0028] The outer surface of the trap box 4 is fixedly connected to trap entrance 1 401 and trap entrance 2 402, with the heights of trap entrance 1 401 and trap entrance 2 402 being 100cm and 50cm respectively. The middle and near the bottom of the inner wall of the trap box 4 are fixedly connected to fixing rod 1 404 and fixing rod 2 406 respectively. The top of fixing rod 1 404 and fixing rod 2 406 are fixedly connected to trap box 1 405 and trap box 2 407 respectively. The inside of trap box 1 405 contains a bark crevic, which is filled with a pheromone lure from the red-edged longhorn beetle. The inside of trap box 2 407 contains a metabolite mimicry agent of the sea buckthorn wood-boring moth larva, specifically an artificially synthesized odor of its feces or molting hormone.

[0029] The number of red-edged longhorn beetle larvae increases towards the upper part of the tree over time, and their damage overlaps with that of the seabuckthorn wood-boring moth in areas above 40cm. Two different trapping entrances can cover active groups at different times and heights, targeting larvae and adults migrating upwards, while also accommodating the spatial competition characteristics of the two pests and expanding the trapping range.

[0030] Adult red-edged longhorn beetles prefer to lay their eggs in bark crevices, while the larvae bore into the bark. The crevices in the bark enhance their recognition and trust in the "tree trunk environment," increasing their approach rate. Combined with the scent of the lure, this creates a multi-dimensional trapping effect involving "sight, smell, and touch," which is especially attractive to adults during the mating season.

[0031] Seabuckthorn wood-boring moth larvae and red-edged longhorn beetle have a spatial symbiotic relationship. Simulating the scent of the wood-boring moth larvae can mislead adult red-edged longhorn beetles into gathering, thus enhancing the trapping effect by utilizing their competitive relationship. By confusing the larvae with scent, more adult red-edged longhorn beetles are attracted closer, improving trapping efficiency.

[0032] Fans 403 are fixedly installed on the middle and bottom of the inner wall of the trapping box 4. The fans 403 are electrically connected to the control box 6 via wires that pass through the trapping box 4 and are sealed at the connection points. The fans 403 continuously blow air, continuously releasing a basic concentration of odor to maintain daily trapping. The speed of the fans 403 can be controlled inside the control box 6. During the active period of adult insects each evening, the speed of the fans 403 is indicated by the control box 6, which increases the odor concentration by 3-5 times in a short period of time.

[0033] The observation mechanism includes a canopy 3, mounting rods 301, mounting plate 302, cross wing plate 303, connecting pipe 304, camera 305, mounting groove 306, and connecting plate 307. The mounting plate 302 is bolted to the outer surface of the column 1. The mounting rod 301 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 302 away from the column 1. The canopy 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting rod 301. The cross wing plate 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the canopy 3. The connecting pipe 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cross wing plate 303. The mounting groove 306 is formed on the surface of the cross wing plate 303. The connecting plate 307 is connected to the inside of the mounting groove 306 by bolts and washers. The camera 305 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 307. There are two mounting rods 301, which are fixedly connected to the canopy 3 and the connecting pipe 304 respectively. The camera 305 is aligned with the connecting pipe 304 and is electrically connected to the electrical control box 6.

[0034] The camera 305 can be fixed by connecting the connecting plate 307 to the inside of the mounting slot 306 with bolts and washers. The camera 305 can take pictures of the inside of the trap box 4. The pictures can be transmitted wirelessly through the signal rod 503, and the inside of the trap box 4 can be observed on a remote device.

[0035] An extension rod 502 is fixedly connected to the top and back of the outer surface of the column 1. A signal rod 503 is fixedly connected to the top of the extension rod 502. The signal rod 503 is electrically connected to the camera 305. The signal rod 503 is connected to the remote observation device via a wireless signal. A connecting plate 501 is fixedly connected to the top of the column 1. A photovoltaic panel 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 501.

[0036] The electrical control box 6 contains a controller, an inverter, and a battery. The photovoltaic panel 5 absorbs light energy and converts it into electrical energy, which is then converted by the inverter and stored in the battery. The battery powers the camera to ensure continuous observation.

[0037] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the outer surface of the connecting tube 304 has through holes, and the trapping box 4 uses a biodegradable biofilm bag, the surface of which is knotted and fixed through the through holes.

[0038] Biodegradable biofilm bags can reduce plastic waste, prevent insect decay from polluting the soil, meet the requirements of green forestry prevention and control, and can be removed and replaced once the weight inside the bag reaches the preset weight.

[0039] Working principle: When trapping longhorn beetles, the scent emitted from inside trap box 4 attracts the larvae of the red-edged longhorn beetle and the seabuckthorn wood-boring moth. Because the number of red-edged longhorn beetle larvae at different heights on the tree trunk generally increases towards the upper part of the tree over time, while the number of seabuckthorn wood-boring moth larvae shows a clear trend of shifting towards the roots over time, the red-edged longhorn beetle sex pheromone lure is used to trap the adults, and the seabuckthorn wood-boring moth larvae are trapped using a metabolite mimic (artificially synthesized pheromone or molting hormone scent).
