Description

本発明は、屋外においてアリ等の匍匐昆虫を捕獲するための粘着シートを備えた捕獲器に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a trap provided with an adhesive sheet for capturing ants such as ants outdoors.

アリ捕獲器としては、毒餌剤を収納したものが一般的である（例えば、実開昭６１−１０４０８３号、特開平１１−３１８３０５号、特開平１１−３４６６２６号）。一方、粘着シートを備えた捕獲器は、殺虫剤を使用しないという特長を有し、ゴキブリに対しては広く用いられているもののアリ用はほとんど知られていない。この理由として、アリ用の場合、野外で使用されるために日光や風雨に曝されて粘着剤の劣化が非常に激しいことがあげられる。
実開昭６１−１０４０８３号特開平１１−３１８３０５号特開平１１−３４６６２６号 As ant traps, those containing poisonous bait are common (for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Nos. 61-104083, 11-318305, 11-346626). On the other hand, the trap equipped with an adhesive sheet has a feature that an insecticide is not used, and although it is widely used for cockroaches, it is hardly known for ants. The reason for this is that, in the case of ants, the adhesive is extremely deteriorated by being exposed to sunlight and wind and rain because it is used outdoors.

本発明は、粘着シートを備えたタイプでありながら屋外での使用が可能で、しかも捕獲性に優れたアリ捕獲器を提供するものである。 The present invention provides an ant trap that can be used outdoors while having a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet and is excellent in catchability.

上記課題を解決するため、本発明は以下の構成を採用する。
（１）天面とこれを囲む周側面を有し、周側面に複数個の開口部を設けるとともに、前記天面の裏面上に下方に向けて粘着シートを貼設したアリ捕獲器。
（２）底面が開放したプラスチック製の略箱状の形状であって、周側面を構成する４側面の高さが２〜４ｃｍであり、かつ当該４側面のそれぞれ底辺の４隅から１〜２ｃｍを残して中央部に開口部を設けた（１）記載のアリ捕獲器。
（３）粘着シートの中央部にアリの誘引剤を含む袋を接着させるとともに、当該粘着シートの４隅を切欠き形状とした（２）記載のアリ捕獲器。 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following configuration.
(1) An ant trap that has a top surface and a peripheral side surface surrounding the top surface, has a plurality of openings on the peripheral side surface, and has an adhesive sheet pasted downward on the back surface of the top surface.
(2) A plastic substantially box-like shape with an open bottom, the height of the four side surfaces constituting the peripheral side surface is 2 to 4 cm, and 1 to 2 cm from the four corners of the bottom of each of the four side surfaces The ant catcher according to (1), wherein an opening is provided in the central portion while leaving
(3) The ant catcher according to (2), wherein a bag containing an ant attractant is adhered to the central portion of the adhesive sheet, and the four corners of the adhesive sheet are cut out.

本発明のアリ捕獲器は、殺虫剤を使用しないのでその毒性に対する懸念がなく、また屋外で使用した場合でも優れた捕獲性を示すので極めて実用的である。 The ant trap of the present invention does not use an insecticide, so there is no concern about its toxicity, and even if it is used outdoors, it exhibits excellent trapping properties and is extremely practical.

本発明のアリ捕獲器は、粘着シートが裏面に貼着された天面とこれを囲む周側面から構成され、周側面には複数個の開口部が設けられる。アリ捕獲器の形状は、箱状、円筒状など、種々可能であるが、底面が開放した略箱状のものが使いやすい。
捕獲器の材質としてはプラスチック樹脂が好ましく、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリエステル、ポリカーボネートなどを例示できる。また、天面の大きさは、５〜１０ｃｍ×８〜１５ｃｍ程度が適当であり、周側面の高さはアリの習性を考慮して２〜４ｃｍに設計するのが好ましい。すなわち、２〜４ｃｍ程度の高さはアリの行動を狭めないので、粘着シートが天面に貼着された場合でも捕獲性の低下をほとんど招かない。 The ant trap of the present invention is composed of a top surface having an adhesive sheet attached to the back surface and a peripheral side surface surrounding the top surface, and a plurality of openings are provided on the peripheral side surface. The shape of the ant catcher can be various, such as a box shape or a cylindrical shape, but a substantially box shape with an open bottom is easy to use.
The material of the trap is preferably a plastic resin, and examples thereof include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, and polycarbonate. Further, the size of the top surface is suitably about 5 to 10 cm × 8 to 15 cm, and the height of the peripheral side surface is preferably designed to be 2 to 4 cm in consideration of ant behavior. That is, since the height of about 2 to 4 cm does not narrow the behavior of ants, even when the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is stuck on the top surface, the capture property is hardly lowered.

アリ捕獲器が略箱状の形状で周側面が４側面からなる場合、アリの侵入口となる開口部は、それぞれ底辺の４隅から１〜２ｃｍを残して中央部に設け、開口部の高さを側面の高さに対して０．２５〜０．５倍程度とするのが適当である。これは、アリの進入行路を観察した結果、開口部からしばらく水平移動後、折曲がった側辺を登り上がる傾向が強いことに基づくものである。 When the ant catcher has a substantially box-like shape and has four side surfaces, the ant intrusion openings are provided at the center, leaving 1-2 cm from the four corners of the bottom. It is appropriate that the height is about 0.25 to 0.5 times the height of the side surface. This is based on the fact that, as a result of observing the entry path of ants, there is a strong tendency to climb up the bent side after moving horizontally from the opening for a while.

本発明は、粘着剤を塗工した粘着シートを天面の裏面上に貼着したことに特徴を有する。シート基剤としては、紙、フィルム等種々の材料を使用可能であり、粘着剤も特に限定されず、一般的に用いられているゴム系粘着剤、アクリル系粘着剤、シリコーン系粘着剤などの種々の粘着剤を用いることが出来る。ゴム系粘着剤には、天然ゴム系粘着剤、スチレン・ブタジエンゴム系粘着剤、再生ゴム系粘着剤、ポリイソブチレン、ブチルゴム系粘着剤、ブロックコポリマー系粘着剤などが含まれる。これらの粘着剤には、必要に応じて軟化剤、老化防止剤、架橋剤等の材料を添加することが出来る。
粘着シートは天面全面に貼着してもよいが、その４隅を非粘着部の切欠き形状にすると、側辺を登り上がったアリの行路を直ちに塞がないので捕獲性能が向上する。 The present invention is characterized in that a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive is stuck on the back surface of the top surface. As the sheet base, various materials such as paper and film can be used, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive is not particularly limited, and generally used rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesives, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives, silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesives, etc. Various pressure-sensitive adhesives can be used. The rubber adhesive includes natural rubber adhesive, styrene / butadiene rubber adhesive, recycled rubber adhesive, polyisobutylene, butyl rubber adhesive, block copolymer adhesive, and the like. Materials such as a softening agent, an anti-aging agent, and a crosslinking agent can be added to these pressure-sensitive adhesives as necessary.
The adhesive sheet may be adhered to the entire top surface, but if the four corners are notched in the non-adhesive part, the trapping performance is improved because the ant's path up the side is not immediately blocked.

本発明のアリ捕獲器は、アリの捕獲性をより一層アップするために、アリの誘引剤を含む袋を粘着シートの中央部に接着させるのが好ましい。誘引剤としては、アリの種類にもよるが、糖類、好ましくは黒糖、糖蜜等をベースとし、これに油脂等の脂肪、ならびに魚粉、蛹粉等の蛋白質を組み合わせたものがよい。これらの誘引剤は、不織布等の袋に充填され、使用に際して、粘着シートの中央部に接着させる。 In the ant trap of the present invention, it is preferable to adhere a bag containing an ant attractant to the central portion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet in order to further improve the ant trapping ability. As an attractant, although it depends on the kind of ant, a saccharide, preferably brown sugar, molasses or the like is used as a base, and fats such as fats and oils, and proteins such as fish meal and potato meal are combined. These attractants are filled in a bag such as a non-woven fabric and adhered to the central portion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet when used.

かかる構成のアリ捕獲器は、粘着シートが底面ではなく天面の裏面上に貼着されているので、屋外で使用しても劣化しにくく、優れた捕獲性を長期にわたり維持することができる。また、揮散した誘引剤の成分が降下して捕獲器内に篭り、アリに対する誘引力が増強するというメリットも有する。 In the ant trap with such a configuration, the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is stuck on the back surface of the top surface instead of the bottom surface. Therefore, the ant trap is not easily deteriorated even when used outdoors and can maintain excellent capture properties for a long period of time. Moreover, it has the merit that the attracted component of the volatilized agent descends and falls into the trap to enhance the attracting power against ants.

こうして得られた本発明のアリ捕獲器は、アミメアリ、トビイロケアリ、イエヒメアリ等の各種アリ類をはじめ、ダンゴムシ、ワラジムシ等の匍匐害虫の捕獲にも有効である。 The ant trap of the present invention thus obtained is also effective for capturing various ants such as red ants, white squirrels, and yellow ants, as well as trapping insect pests such as common rubber beetles and rotifers.

以下に本発明の実施の形態を図面を参照し、説明する。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

図１は本発明のアリ捕獲器の一実施例の斜視図を示し、図２は図１の中央線における垂直方向断面図である。
天面１（縦７ｃｍ、横１０ｃｍ）とこれを囲む４側面２（高さ３．０ｃｍ）を有するポリプロピレン製の略箱状容器３を作製し、それぞれ側面２の底辺の４隅から１．５ｃｍを残して中央部に開口部４（高さ１．０ｃｍ）を設けた。天面１の裏面には４隅を部分的に欠いた粘着シート５を貼着し、粘着シート５の中央に誘引剤入りの不織布製袋６を接着させて本発明のアリ捕獲器を得た。なお、粘着シート５の粘着剤としては、ゴム系のものを用いた。 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the ant trap of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken along the center line of FIG.
A substantially box-shaped container 3 made of polypropylene having a top surface 1 (length 7 cm, width 10 cm) and four side surfaces 2 (height 3.0 cm) surrounding the top surface 1 is produced, and 1.5 cm from the four corners of the bottom of the side surface 2 respectively. The opening 4 (height 1.0 cm) was provided in the center part. An adhesive sheet 5 partially lacking the four corners was attached to the back surface of the top surface 1, and a non-woven bag 6 containing an attractant was adhered to the center of the adhesive sheet 5 to obtain an ant trap of the present invention. . In addition, as the adhesive for the adhesive sheet 5, a rubber-based one was used.

アリ捕獲器を庭に置き、１週間後に状況を観察したところ、無数のアリが捕獲されていた。また、雨天の日が２日間あったにもかかわらず粘着剤の捕獲性はほとんど劣化せず、屋外での使用に十分耐えうる捕獲器であることが認められた。 An ant trap was placed in the garden and the situation was observed one week later, and countless ants were captured. In addition, the trapping property of the adhesive was hardly deteriorated even though there were two rainy days, and it was confirmed that the trap was sufficiently durable for outdoor use.

実施例１に準じて、各種のアリ捕獲器を作製し、河川敷で試験を行った。アリの出入りが活発な巣穴から２ｍ離れた場所にそれぞれの捕獲器を置き、４日後に粘着シート上に捕獲されたアリ数を数えた。なお、誘引剤はいずれも同じものを用いた。結果を表１に示す。 According to Example 1, various ant traps were produced and tested on riverbeds. Each trap was placed at a location 2 m away from the burrow where ants entered and exited actively, and the number of ants captured on the adhesive sheet was counted after 4 days. Note that the same attractant was used. The results are shown in Table 1.

試験の結果、本発明のアリ捕獲器は、アリの捕獲性に優れるうえ、屋外でも粘着シートの劣化がほとんどなく極めて有用であった。
これに対し、粘着シートを底面に設けた比較例のアリ捕獲器は、試験開始初期はアリが捕獲されるも、粘着剤が速やかに劣化するため実用性が認められなかった。 As a result of the test, the ant trap of the present invention was excellent in ant trapping ability and extremely useful with little deterioration of the adhesive sheet even outdoors.
In contrast, the ant trap of the comparative example in which the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet was provided on the bottom face did not find practicality because the pressure-sensitive adhesive deteriorated quickly, although ants were captured at the beginning of the test.
