Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, in the above conventional trap, since the attractant is placed inside the trap installed in the paddy field, the attractant elutes in the water of the paddy field and leaks and diffuses to the outside of the trap by the water flow.

[0006] Therefore, the attracting effect of the attractant on the capture target does not last long, and there is a possibility that it may be difficult to continuously capture the capture target over a long period.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] Therefore, in the present invention according to claim 1, in an attractant storage container that is installed in a paddy field and contains an attractant for attracting capture targets inhabiting the paddy field, a first sheet having water permeability is provided at the opening on one end side of the tubular container body, and a water-soluble attractant is contained inside.

[0008] Further, in the present invention according to claim 2, in the present invention according to claim 1, a paper tube is used as the container body.

[0009] Further, in the present invention according to claim 3, in the present invention according to claim 1 or claim 2, a second sheet is provided at the opening on the other end side of the container body, and a vent hole smaller than the capture target is provided in the second sheet.

Advantages of the Invention

[0010] And the present invention has the following described effects.

[0011] That is, in the present invention, in an attractant storage container that is installed in a paddy field and contains an attractant for attracting capture targets inhabiting the paddy field, a first sheet having water permeability is provided at the opening on one end side of the tubular container body, and a water-soluble attractant is contained inside. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the attractant from being widely diffused by the water flow in the paddy field, and the capture of the capture target can be maintained well for a long period.

[0012] In particular, when a paper tube is used as the container body, the attractant eluted by the water in the paddy field penetrates into the paper tube, so that the attracting effect of the attractant can be prolonged, and the capture target that eats paper can be continuously attracted for a long period.

[0013] Also, when a second sheet is provided at the opening on the other end side of the container body and a vent hole smaller than the capture target is provided in the second sheet, the air permeability inside the container body is improved, and it is possible to prevent the attractant inside the container body from solidifying or deteriorating due to humidity, and it can be stored for a long period.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0015] Hereinafter, the specific configuration of the attractant container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The attractant container according to the present invention is mainly placed inside a trap installed in a paddy field and is used to attract capture targets such as Scumilinogaia living in the paddy field by the attractant contained therein.

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the attractant container 1 is provided with a sheet-like first sheet 3 at an opening on one end side (here, the lower opening) of a tubular container body 2 that penetrates vertically, and a sheet-like second sheet 4 is provided at an opening on the other end side (here, the upper opening) of the container body 2, and an attractant 5 is accommodated therein.

[0017] The container body 2 may be tubular with an upper opening and a lower opening that penetrate vertically, and may be cylindrical, rectangular tubular, or polygonal tubular.

[0018] Also, it is preferable to use a material having water permeability for the container body 2, and a material that softens by water permeability such as paper is more preferable. In particular, as the container body 2, when the capture target prefers (eats) the material, for example, in the case of a capture target that eats paper such as Scumilinogaia, a paper tube can also be used.

[0019] The first sheet 3 is made of a water-permeable material such as Japanese paper, allowing the water in the paddy field to penetrate into the attractant storage container 1 and dissolve the attractant 5, and the attractant 5 dissolved in the water to flow out of the attractant storage container 1 to attract the target to be captured.

[0020] The second sheet 4 has a plurality of through ventilation holes 6 sized smaller than the body of the target to be captured (a size that prevents the target from entering or retreating).

[0021] The second sheet 4 is not necessarily required, but by providing the second sheet 4 at the opening of the container body 2, it is possible to prevent the attractant 5 from overflowing during storage or transportation. Also, the second sheet 4 may be made of a water-permeable material such as Japanese paper. Furthermore, by forming the ventilation holes 6 in the second sheet 4, it is possible to prevent the attractant 5 from solidifying or deteriorating due to humidity during storage or transportation.

[0022] As the attractant 5, various water-soluble materials that attract the target to be captured can be used, and it can be in any form of lump, granule, or powder, or it can also be contained in a water-permeable bag or the like.

[0023] The attractant storage container 1 is configured as described above and is placed in the paddy field for use. Note that the attractant storage container 1 may be placed on the upper part of the bottom plate of a box-shaped trap, or may be directly placed in the paddy field inside a frame-shaped trap. In any case, the attractant storage container 1 is placed in a state where at least the lower end is immersed in the water of the paddy field.

[0024] Then, since the first sheet 3 of the attractant storage container 1 has water permeability, the water in the paddy field penetrates through the first sheet 3 and enters the inside of the container body 2. As a result, since the attractant 5 has water solubility, the attractant 5 is dissolved by the water in the paddy field that has entered the inside of the container body 2. Furthermore, since the first sheet 3 has water permeability, the attractant 5 dissolved in the water flows out of the container body 2 appropriately and diffuses to attract the target to be captured.

[0025] In the above attractant storage container 1, the tubular container body 2 is placed vertically in the vertical direction, and the first and second sheets 3 and 4 are provided at the upper and lower end openings of the container body 2, respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the tubular (here, cylindrical) container body 8 (paper tube) of the attractant storage container 7 is placed horizontally in the horizontal direction, and a circular sheet-shaped first sheet 9 is fitted into one end (here, the left end) of the container body 8, and a circular sheet-shaped second sheet 10 is fitted into the other end (here, the right end) of the container body 8, and the attractant 11 may be stored between the first and second sheets 9 and 10.

[0026] In the above attractant storage container 1, the ventilation port 6 is provided only in the second sheet 4. However, the present invention is not limited to this. As in the attractant storage container 7 shown in FIG. 3, ventilation ports 12 and 13 smaller than the capture target may be provided in each of the first sheet 9 and the second sheet 10.

[0027] Furthermore, in the above attractant storage container 1, the first and second sheets 3 and 4 are formed of a water-permeable material. However, the present invention is not limited to this. As in the attractant storage container 7 shown in FIG. 3, ventilation ports 12 and 13 may be provided in each of the first sheet 9 and the second sheet 10 to provide water permeability (water permeability).

[0028] As described above, the above attractant storage containers 1 and 7 are configured such that the first sheets 3 and 9 having water permeability are provided at the openings on one end side of the container bodies 2 and 8, and the water-soluble attractants 5 and 11 are stored inside.

[0029] Therefore, in the attractant storage containers 1 and 7 having the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the attractants 5 and 11 from being widely diffused by the water flow in the paddy field, and it is possible to maintain the capture of the capture target well for a long period of time.

[0030] In addition, the above attractant storage containers 1 and 7 are configured to use paper tubes as the container bodies 2 and 8.

[0031] Therefore, in the attractant containers 1 and 7 with the above configuration, the attractants 5 and 11 eluted by the water in the paddy field penetrate into the paper tubes, so that the attracting effect by the attractants 5 and 11 can be prolonged, and the capture targets that eat paper can be continuously attracted over a long period of time.

[0032] In addition, the attractant containers 1 and 7 are configured such that a second sheet 4 and 10 is provided at the opening on the other end side, and a vent hole 6 and 13 smaller than the capture target is provided in the second sheet 4 and 10.

[0033] Therefore, in the attractant containers 1 and 7 with the above configuration, the air permeability inside the container bodies 2 and 8 is improved, and it is possible to prevent the attractants 5 and 11 inside the container bodies 2 and 8 from solidifying or deteriorating due to humidity, and they can be stored for a long period of time.
