Since it is formed lower than the height H1 to the top of , a gap is formed between the lower end of the shielding portion 113 and the entry plate 128. The gap is preferably formed to be approximately 3 mm so that it becomes a preferred space for small house beetles. At this time, the passage 125 located between the passage wall 123 and the other passage wall 123 is exposed to the outside through the gap and serves as an entrance through which pests can enter.

Accordingly, the small house beetles gathered to hide in the space formed in the gap are attracted by the attractant contained in the receiving space 1207 and enter the passage 125 of the second member 120.

Since the passage 125 is connected to the first space 1201, the small house beetle passes through the passage floor 1251 formed on the bottom of the passage 125, passes through the passage protrusion 127, and enters the first space 1201. comes in.

Here, the width of the passage floor 1251 is formed to be approximately 3 mm so that crawling house beetles cannot escape, and the height H of the inner end of the passage protrusion 127 from the upper surface of the lower plate 121 is small. It is desirable to have a thickness of approximately 4 mm so that house beetles cannot climb.

Meanwhile, a plurality of receiving openings 1261 formed along the outer peripheral surface of the receiving wall 126 are formed in a slit shape so that small house beetles cannot pass through, and the passage 125 is again formed due to the ledge formed by the passage protrusion 127. The small house beetle, which cannot enter, circles along the inner wall 129 and enters the second space 1203 through the guide passage 1241.

At this time, the width of the guide passage 1241 is formed so that a small house beetle crawling through the guide passage 1241 cannot turn around (e.g. 3 mm), so the possibility of the small house beetle coming out is further reduced. do.
