Description

  The present invention relates to a flying insect trapping container, and more particularly to a flying insect trapping container used for trapping fruit flies such as Drosophila.

  Drosophila and other fruit flies are generated from garbage and spoiled foods and cause discomfort to humans, and therefore, flying insect capture containers for capturing them have been proposed and put into practical use (for example, patent documents) 1-3).

  By the way, the conventional flying insect trapping container attracts flying insects by the flying insect attracting component placed in the flying insect trapping container, and the flying insect that has entered the trapping container is put on by the adhesive placed in the flying insect trapping container. For this reason, the adhesive strength of the adhesive decreases when it takes a lot of ingenuity and labor to mix and install the flying insect attractant and the adhesive, or when the flying insect capture container is used for a long period of time. Along with this, there was a problem that the capturing effect of flying insects decreased.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a flying insect capturing container that can be used for a long period of time without requiring labor for installation in view of the problems of the conventional flying insect capturing container.

  In order to achieve the above object, the flying insect trapping container of the present invention has an open-cell foam having a large number of small holes that allow flying insects to enter the surface of the container in which a flying insect attracting hole is formed. The open cell foam is impregnated with a flying insect attracting component.

  In this case, the open cell foam can be impregnated with an insecticidal component.

  Further, the open cell foam can be detachably disposed.

  According to the flying insect trapping container of the present invention, an open cell foam having a large number of small holes through which flying insects can enter the surface is disposed in a container in which a flying insect attracting hole is formed. Since the foam is impregnated with the flying insect attracting component, the flying insect attracted by the flying insect attracting component and enters the small holes formed on the surface of the open cell foam can escape from the open cell foam. It can be used for a long time because it can capture the flying insects reliably, does not require installation, and the flying insect capture effect does not decrease as long as the flying insect attracting component is present. can do.

  Moreover, the trapping effect of flying insects can be improved by impregnating the open cell foam with the insecticidal component together with the flying insect attracting component.

  In addition, by arranging the open cell foam so that it can be attached and detached, when the flying insect attracting component and the insecticidal component are evaporated, a new open cell foam impregnated with the flying insect attracting component and the insecticidal component should be prepared. The container can be reused.

An embodiment of the flying insect trapping container of the present invention is shown, (a) is a plan view of the flying insect trapping container, (b) is a front view of the flying insect trapping container, (c) is a plan view of the lower container, (d ) Is a front sectional view of the lower container.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the flying insect capturing container of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a flying insect capturing container of the present invention.
This flying insect trapping container 1 has an open cell foam 2 provided with a large number of small holes into which flying insects can enter the surface in a container 10 in which flying insect attracting holes 11a and 11b are formed. The open cell foam 2 is impregnated with a flying insect attracting component and, if necessary, an insecticidal component.

  In this case, the container 10 is made of a synthetic resin molded product, and includes an upper container 11 in which flying insect attracting holes 11a and 11b are formed, and a lower container 12 in which the open-cell foam 2 is disposed, The open cell foam 2 is detachably disposed in the lower container 12, and the upper container 11 is fitted into the lower container 12 in which the open cell foam 2 is disposed, so that the flying insect capturing container 1 is integrated. To make up.

The open-cell foam 2 is made of an open-cell foam made of a synthetic resin such as polyurethane resin or polyolefin resin, and has a large number of small holes through which flying insects can enter.
In addition, although the small pore can use the open cell naturally formed when manufacturing an open cell foam as it is, forming a small hole in addition to an open cell foam as needed. You can also.
This small hole has a size that prevents flying insects that have entered the small hole from rotating within the small hole and cannot escape, specifically, although not particularly limited, It has a diameter of about 0.2 to several mm, preferably about 0.5 to 2 mm.

  As the flying insect attracting component, a known flying insect attracting agent can be used, and specifically, although not particularly limited, components extracted from plants such as sugar, vegetables, fruits, seafood In addition to ingredients extracted from animals such as meat and meat, acetic acid, alcohol, milk and oil, if necessary, preservatives such as sorbic acid can be appropriately blended and used.

  As the insecticidal component, a known insecticide can be used, and specifically, although not particularly limited, neonicotinoid-based or pyrethroid-based insecticides can be used.

  In this flying insect trapping container 1, the flying insects attracted by the flying insect attracting component and entered into the small holes formed on the surface of the open cell foam 2 cannot escape from the open cell foam 2. Can be reliably captured, installation is not required, and as long as the flying insect attracting component is present, the flying insect capturing effect does not decrease, and therefore it can be used for a long period of time.

  Furthermore, the trapping effect of flying insects can be improved by impregnating the open cell foam 2 with the insecticidal component together with the flying insect attracting component.

  In this case, when the flying insect attracting component (and the insecticidal component) evaporates from the open cell foam 2 and the effect of capturing (killing) the flying insect is reduced, the open cell foam detachably disposed on the lower container 12. The container 10 can be reused by removing the body 2 and mounting a new open cell foam impregnated with the flying insect attracting component (and insecticidal component).

  As described above, the flying insect capturing container of the present invention has been described based on the embodiments thereof, but the present invention is not limited to the configurations described in the above embodiments, and the configurations thereof are appropriately set within the scope not departing from the gist thereof. It can be changed.

  The flying insect capturing container of the present invention has the property that it can be used for a long period of time without the need for installation, and therefore it is preferably used for the purpose of capturing fruit flies such as Drosophila. For example, it can be used for capturing other flying insects.
