Detailed Description

The flying insect trap of the present invention is made of plastic, and is formed by integrally connecting a main body part provided with an adhesive sheet, a bottom surface part having a recess for receiving an attractant, and a casing part having an entrance for flying insects, and is formed into a substantially box-like internal space in which a planar part of the main body part and a surface including the entrance of the casing part face each other by folding a connecting part between the main body part and the bottom surface part and a connecting part between the bottom surface part and the casing part and joining a front end part of the main body part and a front end part of the casing part.

The plastic material is preferably polyester, polybutylene terephthalate, polycarbonate or the like which is excellent in moldability and does not allow the volatile flying insect attractant component to permeate therethrough, and the trap is preferably designed so that the inside space formed in a substantially box shape has a lateral width of about 8 to 12cm, a depth (corresponding to the distance between the adhesive sheet surface and the surface including the entrance of the housing) of about 2 to 4cm, and a height of about 8 to 15cm, taking into consideration the habit of small flies as a representative of the object to be trapped.

Furthermore, if pressing portions for fixing the adhesive sheet are provided so as to protrude from both side edges of the case portion, the adhesive sheet can be reliably provided when the front end portion of the main body portion and the front end portion of the case portion are joined.

In the present invention, the adhesive sheet is set to be vertical by contacting the inner side of the planar part of the main body part, and preferably 1 or 2 holes with an area of 2-4 cm are formed at a height of 3-7 cm away from the attractant material-containing recess²That is, as in Japanese patent laid-open No. 2002-253101, when a plurality of insect-introducing openings having a large opening area are provided upward from a position directly above the volatile attraction pad, the attracted small-sized flies tend to escape without being stuck, and the trapping efficiency tends to be lowered.

In order to enhance the attracting effect to flying insects, particularly small flies, the cardboard may be orange and orange, preferably colored orange, and the blue color, although showing some attracting effect to houseflies, is insufficient for small flies.

The size of the adhesive sheet is preferably a square or rectangular shape corresponding to the inner space (width × height) to be formed, but the side edge of the adhesive sheet corresponding to the pressing portion provided to protrude from the outer shell is preferably an adhesive non-application portion from the viewpoint of usability.

The adhesive is not particularly limited, and various adhesives such as a generally used rubber adhesive, an acrylic adhesive, a silicone adhesive, and the like can be cited.

The size and depth of the recess may be determined as appropriate depending on the amount of the attractant used, and the shape having a stable feeling is adopted to avoid falling, and the flying insect trap of the present invention is generally used by being erected by the bottom portion, but it may be used by being suspended by providing a suspension hole at the tip end portions of the body portion and the case portion.

The attractant is preferably a flying insect attractant containing acetic acid, ethanol and muscovado, the acetic acid may be any of common synthetic vinegar, grain vinegar, brewed vinegar such as fruit vinegar, etc., and the ethanol may be any of fermented ethanol and synthetic ethanol.

The amount of these components is preferably in the range of 1.0 to 5.0% by weight of acetic acid, 2.0 to 10% by weight of ethanol, and 10 to 30% by weight of muscovado in the total amount of the composition, and a high attracting effect can be obtained by the mixing ratio.

Further, if 1 or 2 or more kinds of flavors are added in addition to the above components, the attracting effect can be further improved, and examples of such flavors include a wooden fish flavor, a sesame oil flavor, a shrimp flavor, an onion flavor, a cabbage flavor, and the like.

The attractant used in the present invention is preferably a gel that does not cause a fear of liquid spillage and is less likely to produce larvae of flying insects.

Typical examples of the water-soluble polysaccharide include guar gum, xanthan gum, lambda-carrageenan, carrageenan (ジユランガム), gum arabic, locust bean gum, sodium alginate, and the like, and among them, 1 or 2 selected from guar gum, xanthan gum, and lambda-carrageenan are preferable from the viewpoints of attracting effect, manufacturability, and the like.

Examples of the water-absorbent resin include isobutylene-maleic anhydride copolymers, polyacrylate polymers, starch-polyacrylate polymers, PVA polymers, and carboxymethyl cellulose polymers.

The attractant usually contains water as a solvent in addition to the above components, and other components may be added as appropriate as long as they do not hinder the attractiveness.

Examples of such ingredients include food ingredients and base ingredients such as wheat flour, starch, dextrin, maltose, fructose, arabinose, honey, casein, red mite (red mite), egg, fish meal, cabbage, garlic, mushroom, soybean meal, bran, milk powder, dried yeast, vegetable oil, and the like, and various auxiliary ingredients such as a stabilizer, a surfactant, a dispersant, a pigment, and the like.

Examples of the insecticidal component include pyrethroid insecticidal components such as natural pyrethrins, allethrin, prallethrin, resmethrin, tetramethrin, transfluthrin, phenothrin, cyphenothrin, permethrin, ethofenprox and the like, silicone insecticidal components such as silalin and the like, organophosphorus insecticidal components such as insecticidal sulfur, diazinon, malazon (malathion), prothiofos and the like, oxadiazole insecticidal components such as oxadiazole and the like, pyrazole insecticidal components such as fipronil and the like, insect growth control agents such as pyriproxyfen and methoprene and the like.

In the present invention, after the attractant material is housed in the recess of the bottom surface portion, if necessary, the top surface may be covered with a nonwoven fabric or a porous film to prevent the attractant material from scattering or to adjust the volatility of the attractant material.

The flying insect trap of the present invention has an entrance for flying insects and an entrance, and the area of the hole is set to 2 to 4cm in consideration of the habit of flying insects, particularly small flies, as described above²Preferably, 1 or 2 luring materials are formed at a height of 3-7 cm away from the luring material accommodating recess.

In general, in order to prevent dust and the like from entering from an inlet port when a commodity is distributed, it is sealed with a sealing tape and sold, and it is generally peeled off at the time of use.

The flying insect trap with the structure has the characteristics of good manufacturability and capability of being displayed in shops without being wrapped by other packaging materials, namely, a small box package and a foam package which are the same as the conventional products are not needed, and the advantages of the package simplification and the cost reduction cannot be calculated.

The flying insect trap of the present invention is a trap for catching flying insects, and is typically small flies such as sand flies, fruit flies, and flea flies, and further includes flies such as house flies, green flies, and hemp flies, midges, and bees.

Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples and test examples.

Example 1

Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of one embodiment of the flying insect trap of the present invention, and fig. 2 shows an expanded view thereof.

A flying insect trap 1 is made of plastic and comprises a main body 2, a bottom surface 3 and a casing 4, wherein a connecting part between the main body 2 and the bottom surface 3 and a connecting part between the bottom surface 3 and the casing 4 are formed integrally so as to be foldable, and a joining means 5 is provided at a front end 21 of the main body 2 and a front end 41 of the casing 4, respectively, and by joining them, a substantially box-shaped internal space 7 is formed in which a planar part 22 of the main body 2 and a surface of the casing 4 including an inlet 6 face each other, and an adhesive sheet 8 is provided on the planar part 22 of the main body 2 during use, and an attractant (not shown) is accommodated in a recess 9 provided in the bottom surface 3.

The size of the internal space 7 was designed to have a lateral width of about 10cm, a depth (corresponding to the distance between the adhesive sheet surface 8 and the surface of the case 4 including the inlet 6) of about 3cm, and a height of about 11cm, and 1 circular inlet (area: 3.1 cm) having a diameter of 2cm was formed at a position 5cm away from the attractant-receiving recess 9²) Pressing portions 10 for securely placing the adhesive sheet 8 are provided on both sides of the case portion 4 in a protruding manner, and hanging holes 11 are provided in the front end portion 21 of the main body portion and the front end portion 41 of the case portion.

The flying insect trap 1 having this configuration is assembled by temporarily storing the adhesive sheet 8 with a sticker and the attractant material therein, and is in a form of attaching the sealing tape 12 to the inlet port 6, and can be displayed in a shop without being wrapped with another packaging material, and therefore, is a highly practical device.

In this example, 10g of a gel-like attractant material (a composition prepared by blending 3.5 wt% of acetic acid, 5.0 wt% of ethanol, 20 wt% of brown sugar, 0.3 wt% of muyu flavor, 69.2 wt% of water, and 2.0 wt% of guar gum) was filled in the concave portion 9, and then the top surface thereof was covered with a nonwoven fabric, and then, an adhesive sheet 8 (prepared by applying a rubber adhesive to an orange-colored cardboard) from which a sticker was peeled was brought into contact with the inside 22 of the planar portion of the main body 2 to be set in a vertical state, the front end portion 21 of the main body 2 and the front end portion 41 of the housing 4 were joined, and the seal tape 12 of the inlet port 6 was peeled off and placed in a kitchen for use.

The result is that small flies are effectively caught and the effect lasts for about 1 month, and the present flying insect trap is an excellent device in that there is no fear of liquid spillage and the use is convenient.

Example 2

Various flying insect traps shown in Table 1 were prepared in accordance with example 1, and the same materials as in example 1 were used as the attractant.

The flying insect trap was placed in a room of 1.8 m.times.1.8 m, and about 100 flies of Toya quadrata (Megaselia spirillaris) were discharged, and the number of the flies of Toya quadrata caught on the adhesive sheet surface after 24 hours was evaluated by the average number of catches after the test was repeated 3 times.

Excellent; 31 or more, and O; 11-30 and delta; 6-10 pieces of x; 0 to 5 (Table 1)

^＊There is a problem that the adhesive is easily attached to the fingers.

As a result of the test, the flying insect trap of the present invention is easy to use and has good trapping performance, and particularly, an orange adhesive sheet is selected, the distance between the adhesive sheet surface and the entrance surface is set to about 2 to 4cm, and the area of the entrance is set to 2 to 4cm²On the left and right sides, the height of the inlet from the attractant storage recess is set to be about 3-7 cm, and the effect is better.

On the other hand, as shown in comparative example 1, when the adhesive sheet is placed on the bottom surface instead of the vertical shape, the catching performance is poor, and a commercially available bar-shaped catching tool (comparative example 2) in which an adhesive is given to the base is easy to adhere to the fingers and has a great problem in terms of usability.

The flying insect trap of the present invention is extremely useful for flying insect control, and is also applicable to pest control other than flying insects.
