Abstract

The utility model relates to devices for capturing arthropods, namely, portable devices for collecting and recording ticks and can be used to collect ixodid ticks in natural biotopes and recording their abundance. The technical result is to increase the efficiency of safe capture of ticks. The tick-catcher consists of a shaft, on one side of which there are handles, and on the other side of the shaft there is a slingshot, to which, in turn, compression strips are attached, which with fasteners hold one edge of a light-colored rectangular canvas, on the opposite edge of which are weighted straps.

Description

The utility model relates to devices for capturing arthropods, namely, portable devices for collecting and recording ticks and can be used to collect ixodid ticks in natural biotopes and recording their abundance.

In the prior art there are various options for combating ticks.

For example, from document KZ 24970 A4, a method for controlling ticks by spraying surfaces with chemicals is known.

However, this method is quite toxic because it causes the application of active substances to the grass cover, where children and pets may be present. In view of the fact that useful herbs, both medicinal and food, are used by a person in everyday life, and they can not be treated with anti-mite drugs.

Thus, the objective of the claimed utility model is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art.

The technical result to which the claimed utility model is directed is to increase the efficiency of safe capture of ticks.

This technical result is fully achieved by a set of features of an independent claim.

The mitecatcher consists of a shaft with handles on one side and a slingshot on the other side of the shaft, to which compression bars are in turn attached, which, using fasteners, hold one edge of a light-colored rectangular canvas, on the opposite edge of which are weighted bars weighted bar with pressure plate.

The canvas can be made in white.

The canvas may have a square shape.

Planks can be made in white.

The shaft can have a length of 200-250 cm and, for the convenience of transportation, be detachable in two- or three-joint form.

The fasteners can be screws, bolts, glue, clips, stapler staples, etc.

Handles may be spaced apart.

Further, in more detail, the claimed technical solution is illustrated by the drawing (figure 1), which shows a General view of the claimed mite.

The tick trap contains a shaft (1), which is slightly larger than the average adult (200 cm - 250 cm) (this size was chosen as optimal after experimental checks and tests). When the size of the shaft is less than 200 cm, it is not convenient to use a tick trap, which reduces its effectiveness. When the size of the shaft is more than 250 cm, the efficiency of using the tick-borne trap also decreases, since the device of the tick trap becomes quite bulky. At one end of the shaft (1), handles (2) are located at some distance from each other for convenient and more efficient use of the claimed device. On the other hand, the shaft has been installed using fasteners (screw, screw, glue, etc.) a mounting slingshot (3), to which in turn two white compression strips (4) are attached. The presence of a slingshot (3) increases the efficiency of the device, since there is no warping of the shaft (1) relative to the compression bars (4) when used. Compression strips (4) capture one edge of a rectangular (square) web (5) of white material or very light tones of any other color, the other edge of the web (5) is located between two weighted white strips (6) that are interconnected by any known method (nails, screws, clips, adhesives, etc.).

The claimed mite provides effective trawling of the grass surface with the capture of mites on a white woven material (canvas), which, due to biological characteristics, are attached to it.

The proposed device works as follows: the subject (user), intending to clean a certain area of ticks / check the necessary territory, picks up the shaft with the help of handles, raises it so that the heavy planks lean back lower relative to the compression planks and lower the shaft so that the planks are heavier the planks landed on the grass cover at the starting point of the territory check. After that, he takes several steps forward, holding the shaft so that the canvas dragged along the grass in the elongated form behind the compression bars. This achieves the trawling of the grass surface on one side of the canvas. The next step is to lift the shaft and move left or right, landing heavier planks, so that there is an overlap of 10-15 cm of the worn strip. Subsequently, the subject returns (backs away) back along the trodden strip to the starting point, dragging the canvas already on the other side of the tick-bed cloth. At the starting point, bending over, the web is inspected - this is the side that was lower during the first trawling for the presence of ticks. If they are detected, grab with two fingers and evacuate into a container with kerosene or similar fractions. After that, raise the shaft and inspect the second side of the canvas (it was the top during the first trawling), and if ticks are found, also evacuate them. Thus, an effective mite removal of the entire necessary territory is performed.
