[0002] Golden apple snails, a globally invasive species, cause serious damage to aquatic crops such as rice and lotus. Their rapid reproduction and strong resistance make them a major threat to agricultural ecosystems. Currently, control methods for golden apple snails mainly include manual collection, chemical extermination, biological control (such as releasing ducks to feed on them), and physical trapping. Among these, physical trapping devices are widely used due to their environmental friendliness and low cost. For example, bamboo strips or wooden sticks are inserted into rice paddies to attract golden apple snails to lay eggs, which are then collected and destroyed. Alternatively, traps are used in conjunction with bait. However, existing trapping devices generally have the following shortcomings:

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a snail-attracting device is provided, including an attraction cylinder 1, a feeding cone 2, and an attraction cylinder cover 3. The attraction cylinder 1 has an attraction chamber 11, a first water inlet 12, and a second water inlet 13. The attraction chamber 11 is located in the middle of the attraction cylinder 1 and is used to accommodate the snails. The first water inlet 12 and the second water inlet 13 are both located on the side of the attraction cylinder 1 and communicate with the attraction chamber 11. Since snails usually live on the bottom of the water, the first water inlet 12 and the second water inlet 13 can quickly allow water to pass through, facilitating the attraction cylinder 1 to sink to the bottom and attract the snails.

[0034] One end of the feeding cone 2 is connected to one end of the trapping cylinder 1, and the other end extends into the trapping cylinder 1 and is located inside the trapping cavity 11. A feeding channel 21 is provided inside the feeding cone 2, which is connected to the trapping cavity 11. The feeding channel 21 is funnel-shaped, and its diameter gradually decreases near the trapping cylinder cover 3. Golden apple snails enter the trapping cylinder 1 through the feeding channel 21. The funnel-shaped feeding channel 21 effectively prevents the golden apple snails from escaping, thus improving the trapping efficiency.

[0035] The trap cover 3 is detachably connected to the trap body 1.

[0036] The golden apple snail trapping device provided in this application features a trapping cylinder cover 3 with a threaded connection and a knob 31 design, which can be quickly disassembled without tools. This allows for the rapid emptying and cleaning of the golden apple snails in the trapping chamber 11, and also enables the rinsing of the trapping chamber 11 to effectively remove any remaining golden apple snails. The flared design of the feed cone 2 can effectively prevent the golden apple snails from escaping and improve the trapping efficiency.

[0037] In another embodiment of this utility model, multiple first water inlet holes 12 are provided and evenly distributed on the side of the trapping cylinder 1, with adjacent first water inlet holes 12 spaced apart; the diameter of the first water inlet hole 12 is 8-12mm, preferably 10mm. Since the body length of small golden apple snails is 20-30mm, the 10mm first water inlet hole 12 can ensure water permeability while preventing small golden apple snails from escaping through the first water inlet hole 12, thus improving the trapping efficiency.

[0038] In another embodiment of this utility model, multiple second water inlets 13 are provided and are evenly arranged on the side of the trapping cylinder 1. The second water inlets 13 are located on the side of the first water inlet 12, and adjacent second water inlets 13 are spaced apart. The diameter of the second water inlet 13 is 12mm-18mm, preferably 15mm, which further improves the water permeability and facilitates the trapping cylinder 1 sinking to the bottom of the water.

[0039] In another embodiment of this utility model, the feeding cone 2 is provided with an attraction inlet 22 at one end and an attraction outlet 23 at the other end, with the attraction outlet 23 located at the end of the feeding cone 2 near the attraction cover 3. The diameter of the attraction inlet 22 is larger than that of the attraction outlet 23, and the attraction inlet 22 and the attraction outlet 23 are connected to form a feeding channel 21. The large diameter of the attraction inlet 22 expands the attraction range, facilitating the smooth entry of the golden apple snails after being attracted by the bait's scent. The funnel-shaped feeding channel 21 gradually narrows from the inlet to the outlet, forming a natural guiding path that encourages the golden apple snails to move into the attraction cavity 11. The diameter of the attraction outlet 23 is smaller than that of the inlet and is close to the attraction cover 3. After the golden apple snails enter the attraction cavity 11, the narrow outlet makes it difficult for them to climb out in the opposite direction, effectively preventing their escape and ensuring the attraction effect. The interconnected structure of the channel allows the scent of the bait in the attraction cavity 11 to diffuse more smoothly from the outlet to the inlet, expanding the scent propagation range and enhancing the attraction to the surrounding golden apple snails.

[0040] In another embodiment of this utility model, the trap cover 3 is threadedly connected to the trap body 1. Multiple through holes 32 are provided on the side of the trap cover 3, and they are evenly arranged in a ring shape. A knob 31 is fixedly connected to the side of the trap cover 3, and the knob 31 has anti-slip textures on its side. The trap cover 3 can be quickly removed from the trap body 1 by using the knob 31, thus facilitating the cleaning of the golden apple snails inside the trap body 1.

[0041] In another embodiment of this utility model, a rod 4 is provided on the side of the trapping cylinder 1, and the rod 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the trapping cylinder 1. The rod 4 includes a rod body 41 and a plug 42. The rod body 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the trapping cylinder 1, and the plug 42 is fixedly connected to the rod body 41 and is tapered. By inserting the rod 4 into the bottom of the pool, it is easy to fix the trapping cylinder 1 to the bottom of the water. The tapered shape of the plug 42 facilitates quick insertion into the bottom of the pool.

[0042] The golden apple snail trapping device provided in this application features a trapping cylinder cover 3 with a threaded connection and a knob 31 design, which can be quickly disassembled without tools. This allows for the rapid emptying and cleaning of the golden apple snails in the trapping chamber 11, and also enables the rinsing of the trapping chamber 11 to effectively remove any remaining golden apple snails. The flared design of the feed cone 2 can effectively prevent the golden apple snails from escaping and improve the trapping efficiency.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
