Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect trap technology, specifically a foldable portable insect trap. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional pest control methods mostly involve spraying pesticides. However, the use of pesticides can lead to environmental pollution, ecological damage, and food safety issues. Therefore, using physical and chemical methods such as insect pheromones, insect traps, and insect lamps to attract pests has gradually become an accepted method for pest control.

[0003] A search of Chinese patent CN220831534U reveals a portable moth trap. The device comprises a horizontal plate, a trapping barrel, a moth inlet, a storage bag, a lamp holder, a warm light, a storage cylinder, an injection nozzle, a baffle, an opening, a perforated section, and an extension ring. The moth trapping mechanism adds attractant to the bottom of the storage cylinder through the injection nozzle. The baffle seals the injection nozzle and the opening through the storage cylinder. The warm light installed on the lamp holder is then turned on to illuminate and attract the moth. This method attracts moths and accelerates the evaporation of the attractant inside the storage tube using heat emitted from a warm light lamp. The attractant diffuses through the perforated part of the storage tube and the moth inlet of the trap to achieve the best trapping effect. The insect storage bag at the bottom of the trap is secured with a rope buckle, which allows for the collection of moth carcasses and the replacement of the storage bag. Compared with existing moth trapping devices, this method uses a concave moth inlet as both the entry point for the moths and the diffusion point for the attractant, making the trapping point more obvious and the trapping effect more significant.

[0004] Based on the above search and existing technology, it was found that the above patent has certain defects. The trap used is not convenient to fold and store, its large size makes it take up a lot of space for transportation, and it is difficult to carry and operate. In addition, the trapping structure cannot be adjusted according to the actual trapping situation, which reduces the portability of the insect trap. Utility Model Content
