Soil-dwelling termite biological control ant-attracting device

Abstract

This utility model discloses a termite biological control device, including a base plate, a termite-attracting tube fixedly connected to one end of the base plate, an observation component detachably installed at the other end of the base plate, a termite-attracting component installed on the termite-attracting tube, and a killing component installed on the termite-attracting component. This utility model eliminates the need to open the device during killing; the bait is sprayed evenly into the termite-attracting tube directly through a sliding powder spraying tube. This avoids the termites (especially winged reproductive termites) being startled and escaping due to traditional open-top powdering methods, reducing the possibility of them establishing new nests nearby, ensuring effective extermination of the termite colony, and reducing the risk of repeated invasions. The bait is easily installed and removed via a cross-shaped plate and elastic band. When replacing the bait, the entire device does not need to be discarded; after cleaning up residual termite carcasses, there is no odor residue, and it will not interfere with subsequent termite-attracting effects. Simultaneously, it avoids the 1-2 week trapping gap when replacing disposable devices, making it difficult for residual termites to reproduce or repair their nests, ensuring long-term control effects.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of insect trapping and ant-attracting devices, specifically to a biological control and ant-attracting device for soil-dwelling termites. Background Technology

[0002] Termite damage is characterized by its insidious nature, widespread impact, and severity. Termites live in dark environments and lead a concealed lifestyle. After buildings, houses, and wooden furniture are damaged by termites, they may appear intact on the surface, but are riddled with holes inside. By the time the damage is discovered, it is often substantial. Termite damage affects all aspects of the national economy, including clothing, food, housing, transportation, and daily necessities. It manifests primarily in the destruction of buildings, wooden furniture, water conservancy projects, railway transportation, and crops, forests, and horticultural plants.

[0003] In areas with high termite activity (such as corners, wood piles, or near tree roots), place traps containing cellulose bait (such as pine blocks or compressed cardboard). The termites' attraction to high-fiber food draws worker termites to the traps. After 3-5 days of settling to allow sufficient worker termites to gather, manually activate the traps and sprinkle in termite-killing powder. The toxins are then spread and killed by the worker termites through their feeding behavior.

[0004] However, this method has drawbacks. First, worker ants may develop into winged reproductive ants after feeding, and when the cover is opened and powder is sprinkled, they are easily startled and escape, causing some termites to fly away from the device and establish new nests nearby. Second, most existing devices are designed for single use and need to be replaced after termite extermination, which creates a 1-2 week trapping gap. Residual termites may take the opportunity to repair their nests or reproduce, causing repeated invasions. Even if the internal termite trapping device is replaced in time, there will be residual termite corpses. The odor of the termite corpses may interfere with the attraction of the termite trapping device, making other termites unwilling to enter the device, thereby reducing the termite extermination effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a termite-attracting device for biological control of soil-dwelling termites. This device eliminates the need to open the container; the bait is sprayed evenly into the termite-attracting tube directly through a sliding powder spraying tube. This avoids the termites (especially winged reproductive termites) being startled and escaping due to traditional open-top powdering methods, reducing the likelihood of them establishing new nests nearby. This ensures effective extermination of the termite colony and reduces the risk of repeated intrusions. The bait is easily installed and removed via a cross-shaped plate and elastic band. When replacing the device, the entire device does not need to be discarded, and there is no odor residue after cleaning up any remaining termite carcasses, which will not interfere with subsequent termite-attracting effects. Simultaneously, it avoids the 1-2 week trapping gap when replacing disposable devices, making it difficult for remaining termites to reproduce or repair their nests, thus ensuring long-term control effectiveness.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a termite biological control device for soil-dwelling termites, including a base plate, a termite-attracting tube fixedly connected to one end of the base plate, an observation cover detachably installed on the other end of the base plate, an observation component installed on the observation cover, a termite-attracting component installed on the termite-attracting tube, a bait installed on the termite-attracting component, a killing component installed on the termite-attracting component, and a plastic hand pump installed on the killing component. The opening and closing of the observation component controls the sealing and opening of the observation cover. The observation cover allows observation of the bait on the termite-attracting component attracting termites. The airflow generated by the plastic hand pump sprays the extermination powder from the extermination component to kill the termites attracted by the termite-attracting component.

[0007] In one optional embodiment, the ant-attracting assembly includes a semi-circular cover slidably connected to the ant-attracting tube, an annular plate fixedly connected to the semi-circular cover, a plurality of inclined plates arranged in an annular array on the annular plate, a connecting rod fixed at one end to the central intersection of the plurality of inclined plates, and a fixing component slidably connected to the connecting rod. A plurality of baits are arranged in an annular array on the annular plate, and the fixing component is used to fix the baits to the connecting rod.

[0008] In one alternative embodiment, the fixing component includes a cross plate slidably connected to a connecting rod and an elastic band fixedly connected to the cross plate, the elastic band being used to secure the decoy to the cross plate.

[0009] In one optional embodiment, the extermination component includes a transparent plate fixedly connected to the other end of a connecting rod, a plurality of arc-shaped plates arranged in a circumferential array on the transparent plate, a storage box mounted on the transparent plate, a plurality of powder spraying pipes arranged in a circumferential array fixedly connected to the storage box, a protective sleeve covering the powder spraying pipes, and a plastic hand pump threadedly connected to the storage box. The powder spraying pipes have a plurality of through holes arranged in a linear array. The plastic hand pump is used to spray the attractant in the storage box through the powder spraying pipes. When the plastic hand pump is pressed, the attractant in the storage box enters the ant trap through the through holes of the powder spraying pipes. A pull strap is installed on the protective sleeve. By pulling the pull strap, the protective sleeve will be peeled off from the powder spraying pipes.

[0010] In one alternative implementation, when the cross plate slides upward along the connecting rod, the elastic band releases the bait from its fixation; when the cross plate slides downward along the connecting rod, the bait is fixed to the connecting rod by the elastic band.

[0011] In one alternative embodiment, the inner surfaces of the semi-circular cap and the connecting rod are uniformly coated with a slip-enhancing layer, and the bait height is always lower than that of the transparent plate.

[0012] In one optional embodiment, the observation assembly includes an observation cover threaded to the other end of the base plate, an annular plate fixedly connected to one end of the observation cover, a semicircular plate one slidably connected to the other end of the observation cover, and a semicircular plate two slidably connected to the observation cover.

[0013] In one optional embodiment, both the first and second semicircular plates are symmetrical semicircles. The center of the first, second, and annular plates is provided with through holes adapted to the plastic hand pump. When the first and second semicircular plates move in opposite directions, the observation cover will open or close.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. There is no need to open the device during extermination. The bait is sprayed evenly into the termite trap directly through the sliding powder spray tube, avoiding the termites (especially winged reproductive termites) that are frightened and escaped due to the traditional method of opening the lid and sprinkling powder. This reduces the possibility of them establishing new nests in the vicinity, ensures that the termite colony is effectively killed, and reduces the risk of repeated invasions.

[0015] 2. The bait can be easily installed and removed using the cross plate and elastic band. When replacing it, there is no need to discard the whole device. After cleaning up the remaining termite corpses, there is no odor residue and it will not interfere with the subsequent termite-attracting effect. At the same time, it avoids the 1-2 week trapping gap when replacing disposable devices. The remaining termites have difficulty to reproduce or repair their nests during this time, ensuring long-term control effect. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1-6 The termite biological control device includes a base plate 1, a termite-attracting tube 21 fixedly connected to one end of the base plate 1, an observation cover 31 detachably installed on the other end of the base plate 1, an observation component installed on the observation cover 31, a termite-attracting component installed on the termite-attracting tube 21, a bait 213 installed on the termite-attracting component, a killing component installed on the termite-attracting component, and a plastic hand pump 27 installed on the killing component. The opening and closing of the observation cover 31 is controlled by the observation component. The bait 213 on the ant-attracting component is used to observe the ant-attracting component to attract termites. The airflow generated by the plastic hand pump 27 sprays the killing powder in the killing component to kill the termites attracted by the ant-attracting component.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the termite-attracting component includes a semi-circular cover 22 slidably connected to the termite-attracting tube 21, an annular plate 212 fixedly connected to the semi-circular cover 22, a plurality of inclined plates 211 arranged in a ring array on the annular plate 212, a connecting rod 23 fixedly connected at one end to the central intersection of the plurality of inclined plates 211, and a fixing component slidably connected to the connecting rod 23. A plurality of baits 213 are arranged in a ring array on the annular plate 212. The fixing component is used to fix the baits 213 to the connecting rod 23. The plurality of inclined plates 211 are installed at one end of the connecting rod 23. The design of the inclined plates 211 facilitates the entry of termites into the device. The fixing component can flexibly fix and release the baits 213 as needed to ensure that the baits effectively attract termites and improve the success rate of termite attraction.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixing component includes a cross plate 29 slidably connected to the connecting rod 23 and an elastic band 210 fixedly connected to the cross plate 29. The elastic band 210 is used to bind the bait 213 to the cross plate 29. By pushing the cross plate 29 to slide, the elastic band 210 can easily fix or release the restriction on the bait 213. The operation is simple and the bait state can be adjusted at any time to adapt to different ant-attracting needs.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the extermination assembly includes a transparent plate 24 fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 23, several arc-shaped plates 25 arranged in a circumferential array on the transparent plate 24, a storage box 26 mounted on the transparent plate 24, several powder spraying pipes 28 fixedly connected to the storage box 26 in a circumferential array, a protective sleeve 214 covering the powder spraying pipes 28, and a plastic hand pump 27 threadedly connected to the storage box 26. The powder spraying pipes 28 have several through holes arranged in a linear array, and the plastic hand pump 27 is used to pump the stored powder... The bait in box 26 is sprayed out through the powder spraying tube 28. When the plastic hand pump 27 is pressed, the bait in the storage box 26 enters the termite trap 21 through the through hole of the powder spraying tube 28. A pull strap is installed on the protective cover 214. By pulling the pull strap, the protective cover 214 will be peeled off from the powder spraying tube 28. The protective cover 214 can prevent the bait from leaking when not in use. The pull strap makes it easy to peel off the protective cover 214. Pressing the plastic hand pump 27 can accurately spray the bait, effectively kill termites, and improve the killing efficiency.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, when the cross plate 29 slides upward along the connecting rod 23, the elastic band 210 releases the bait 213 from its fixation; when the cross plate 29 slides downward along the connecting rod 23, the bait 213 is fixed to the connecting rod 23 by the elastic band 210; when the cross plate 29 moves away from the annular plate 212, the elastic band 210 on the cross plate 29 gradually detaches from the bait 213. The shape of the placement arc plate 25 is adapted to the powder spraying pipe 28, and a through groove is provided on the placement arc plate 25. The powder spraying pipe 28 is slidably connected to the placement arc plate 25, making the bait fixing and release operation flexible. At the same time, the powder spraying pipe 28 is slidably connected to the placement arc plate 25, which facilitates the adjustment of the powder spraying position and improves the accuracy of the bait spraying.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner surfaces of the semi-circular cover 22 and the connecting rod 23 are uniformly coated with a slip-enhancing layer [the slip-enhancing layer is mainly a talcum powder layer or a petroleum jelly coating]. The height of the bait 213 is always lower than that of the transparent plate 24. The slip-enhancing layer can reduce the crawling resistance of termites in the device, allowing termites to enter the device more smoothly. The height of the bait 213 being lower than that of the transparent plate 24 makes it easier to observe the bait situation, while avoiding the bait affecting the operation of other components.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the observation assembly includes an observation cover 31 threadedly connected to the other end of the base plate 1, an annular plate 34 fixedly connected to one end of the observation cover 31, a semicircular plate 32 slidably connected to the other end of the observation cover 31, and a semicircular plate 33 slidably connected to the observation cover 31. The threaded connection facilitates the installation and disassembly of the observation cover 31, and the slidably connected semicircular plates 32 and 33 can flexibly open and close the observation cover 31, making it convenient to observe the ant-attracting situation.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the first semicircular plate 32 and the second semicircular plate 33 are symmetrical semicircles. The center of the first semicircular plate 32, the second semicircular plate 33 and the annular plate 34 are provided with through holes that are compatible with the plastic hand pump 27. When the first semicircular plate 32 and the second semicircular plate 33 move towards or away from each other, the observation cover 31 will open or close, making the opening and closing of the observation cover 31 easy. The through hole design facilitates the operation of the plastic hand pump 27 and does not affect the use of the extermination component.

[0030] During operation, the cross plate 29 on the connecting rod 23 is pushed closer to the ring plate 212, and the elastic band 210 on the cross plate 29 gradually tightens, fixing the bait 213 in the circular array on the ring plate 212 to the connecting rod 23; then the semi-circular cover 22 is slid along the ant-attracting tube 21 to the preset position, and the semi-circular cover 22 drives the ring plate 212, the inclined plate 211 and the connecting rod 23 to enter the ant-attracting tube 21 simultaneously. The inclined plate 211 can guide the soil-dwelling termites to gather in the direction of the bait 213.

[0031] The observation cover 31 of the observation component is threaded to the other end of the base plate 1. Rotate the observation cover 31 to make it seal and fit against the base plate 1. Through the annular plate 34 at one end of the observation cover 31 and the transparent plate 24 of the extermination component, observe the termite gathering around the bait 213 in the termite trap 21 in real time. If a clearer observation is needed, push the semicircular plate 1 32 and semicircular plate 2 33 to slide in opposite directions. The observation cover 31 will open when it moves in opposite directions and close when it moves in opposite directions. The observation process does not require disassembling the entire device to avoid disturbing the termites.

[0032] When a sufficient number of termites are observed to gather around the bait 213, pull the pull strap on the powder spraying tube 28 in the extermination component to peel the protective cover 214 off the powder spraying tube 28, exposing the linear array of through holes in the powder spraying tube 28; press the plastic hand pump 27 on the storage box 26, and the bait in the storage box 26 will be sprayed into the termite attractant tube 21 through the circumferential array of powder spraying tubes 28 and through holes. The powder spraying tube 28 can slide along the through groove where the arc plate 25 is placed to ensure that the bait evenly covers the termite gathering area. There is no need to open the termite attractant tube 21 or the observation cover 31 to avoid the termites being startled and escaping.

[0033] If it is necessary to replace the bait 213 or the cleaning device, rotate the observation cover 31 in the opposite direction to remove it from the base plate 1, push the cross plate 29 to slide away from the annular plate 212, and the elastic band 210 will gradually detach from the bait 213, releasing the restriction on the bait 213, and cleaning the corpse residue in the semi-circular cover 22; after replacing the new bait, repeat the above fixing steps, and then put the observation cover 31 back into the base plate 1, and the device can be put into use again.

[0034] Although only certain components and embodiments of this application have been illustrated and described, many modifications and alterations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without actually departing from the scope and spirit of the claims, such as variations in the size, dimensions, structure, shape and proportion of the various elements, installation arrangement, material use, color, orientation, etc.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
