Description

Flying pest trap

This invention relates to a flying pest trap for attracting and capturing flying pests.

To control flying pests such as flies, various flying pest traps are commercially available, each containing an attractant. To efficiently lure flying pests to the trap, it is necessary to carefully design the trap's structure and the attractant used.

Conventional traps have a square-shaped protrusion facing upwards towards a container, providing a resting place for flying pests (see, for example, Patent 1). The trap of Patent 1 has an opening on the side of the protrusion for the flying pests to enter, thus attracting the flying pests that have gathered and rested on the protrusion into the container through the opening.

Furthermore, the applicant has created a trap in which an attraction port is formed in the cover portion that seals the tray portion containing the pesticide, attracting flying pests inward, and an annular edge surrounding the attraction port (see, for example, Patent 2). In the trap of Patent 2, if a flying pest resting on the outer surface of the cover reaches a certain position on the annular edge, it easily enters the trap through the attraction port, resulting in the flying pest falling into the tray portion and being captured.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] In the trap of Patent Document 1, a protrusion is provided for allowing flying pests to alight. This protrusion is a square-shaped portion of the cover bulging upwards. Because of this square-shaped protrusion, even if flying pests alight there, the large exposed area makes them easily alert, and they may sense human presence or other cues and escape through the protrusion. Furthermore, in this trap, the protrusion and the opening on its side are not properly positioned; the distance between them is relatively large, making it difficult for flying pests to move from the protrusion towards the opening.

In the trap of patent document 2, an annular end edge is formed in a manner that surrounds the attraction opening. Because this annular end edge does not bulge out significantly from its surroundings, flying pests are less likely to be wary of it. Furthermore, since it is positioned close to the attraction opening, flying pests can easily move along the annular end edge through the attraction opening into the trap.

However, it is not only intended to trap flying pests that land on the trap, but also to lure and trap flying pests that hover around it. However, the trap in Patent 1 has a large exposed protrusion, which makes flying pests wary, making it difficult to trap those hovering around the trap. The trap in Patent 2, which improves upon this, still has room for further improvement. In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a flying pest trap that can also effectively trap flying pests hovering around it. [Technical Means for Solving the Problem]

Flying pests, such as fruit flies, fleas, black mushroom flies, mushroom flies, and butterfly flies, have the habit of climbing against gravity (i.e., negative geotropism). Focusing on this habit, we considered whether it could be applied to flying pest traps, which led to the invention.

To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides a flying pest trap that attracts and traps flying pests, comprising: a cover with an attraction opening for drawing the flying pests inward; a tray for retaining the flying pests that enter through the attraction opening; and a pesticide container housed within the cover. Inside the tray portion; the aforementioned cover portion has a top cover portion and a side portion. In the aforementioned top cover portion, an annular raised portion for attracting the aforementioned flying pests toward the aforementioned attracting opening is provided along the outline of the attracting opening. Furthermore, the aforementioned side portion extends to or near the bottom surface of the aforementioned tray portion, so that the aforementioned cover portion covers the aforementioned tray portion.

According to this configuration of the flying pest trap, if a flying pest hovering around the trap reaches the bottom surface of the tray or the side of the nearby cover, it will climb against gravity. Furthermore, if the flying pest reaches a position on the annular protrusion on the top of the cover, it can easily enter the trap through the lure opening. As a result, the flying pest falls into the tray and is captured. Therefore, it can effectively trap flying pests hovering around the trap.

In the flying pest trap of the present invention, it is preferable that the linear raised portion of the cover, which is connected to the aforementioned annular raised portion, is located on the aforementioned cover portion.

In the flying pest trap according to this configuration, since a linear raised portion connected to the annular raised portion is provided on the cover, even if the flying pest is slightly away from the attraction opening, it can still be lured to the annular raised portion along the linear raised portion of the cover. As a result, the likelihood of the flying pest entering the trap from the attraction opening is increased, and it will then fall into the tray and be captured.

In the flying pest trap of the present invention, it is preferable that the linear ridge extending upward from the bottom surface of the aforementioned tray portion or its vicinity is provided on the aforementioned side surface.

In the case of the flying pest trap with this configuration, since the lateral linear ridges extending upward from the bottom surface of the tray or its vicinity are provided on the side surface, it can complement the habit of moving along the lateral linear ridges and further improve the negative grounding.

Next, to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention's flying pest trap is characterized by the following features: a cover portion having an attraction port for attracting the flying pest inward; a tray portion for retaining the flying pest that has entered from the attraction port inward; and an agent portion housed within the tray portion; in the cover portion, an annular protrusion for attracting the flying pest towards the attraction port is provided along the outline of the attraction port; furthermore, the lower end of the cover portion and the upper end of the tray portion are joined in such a way that no step difference is formed between the cover portion and the tray portion.

Flying pests hovering around the trap, due to their habits, will defy gravity and climb the outer surface of the tray, moving towards the cover by crossing between the tray and the cover. In this flying pest trap configuration, because the lower end of the cover and the upper end of the tray are joined in a way that eliminates any step difference between the cover and the tray, the flying pests can smoothly climb towards the cover by crossing between the tray and the cover. Furthermore, if the flying pest reaches a certain position on the annular ridge provided on the cover, it easily enters the trap through the attraction opening. As a result, the flying pest falls into the tray and is captured. Therefore, it can also be effective in capturing flying pests that hover around the trap.

In the flying pest trap of the present invention, it is preferable that the linear raised portion of the cover, which is connected to the aforementioned annular raised portion, is located on the aforementioned cover portion.

In the flying pest trap according to this configuration, since a linear raised portion connected to the annular raised portion is provided on the cover, even if the flying pest is at a position some distance from the attraction opening, the flying pest can still be lured to the annular raised portion along the linear raised portion of the cover. As a result, the flying pest is more likely to enter the trap from the attraction opening and then fall into the tray and be captured.

In the flying pest trap of the present invention, it is preferable that the linear raised portion of the tray surface extending upward from the bottom surface of the aforementioned tray portion or its vicinity is provided on the aforementioned tray portion.

In the case of the flying pest trap according to this configuration, since the tray surface linear ridges extending upward from the bottom surface of the tray or its vicinity are provided on the tray, the negative grounding property can be further improved in conjunction with the habit of moving along the tray surface linear ridges.

In the flying pest trap of the present invention, the attractant component in the aforementioned pesticide part preferably includes a sweet seasoning, and the insecticidal component preferably includes a neonicotinoid insecticide.

The flying pest trap based on this configuration uses a sweetener as the attractant in the pesticide section, which improves the aroma and flavor, making it easy to use in the kitchen. Furthermore, the insecticide in the pesticide section is a neonicotinoid insecticide, which is low in volatility and unlikely to be disliked by flying pests, and does not interfere with the attractant effect of the sweetener, resulting in excellent pest trapping and killing effects.

The present invention will now be described with reference to the figures. However, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments described below and the structure revealed in the figures.

[First Embodiment] <Overall Structure> Figure 1 is a perspective view of the flying pest trap 1A according to the first embodiment. Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the flying pest trap 1A according to the first embodiment. The flying pest trap 1A shown in Figure 1 is used to attract, capture, and control flying pests such as flies in various environments such as residences, restaurants, factories, schools, and offices. As shown in Figure 2, the flying pest trap 1A has a tray portion 2, a cover portion 3, and a pesticide portion 4.

<Pattern Section> The tray section 2 shown in Figure 2 is formed into a cup shape by injection molding, vacuum forming, bulging molding, blow molding, or other methods using thermoplastic resin. The tray section 2 has a tray body 5 and an outwardly projecting flange 6.

The tray body 5 is a cup-shaped container that holds flying pests (dead bodies) that enter through the attraction ports 21 and 22 (described later). The tray body 5 has an agent containing section 7 that allows the agent section 4 to be inserted and removed. The agent section 4 is located on its inner bottom or nearby. The agent section 4 contains an attractant component to attract flying pests, which are then killed by the insecticidal component. The horizontal cross-section of the tray body 5 is designed to be rectangular, circular, or similar for easy installation in living spaces such as kitchens and bedrooms, but an amorphous shape is also acceptable.

The drug receiving section 7 is provided with a mounting member 8 for positioning the drug part 4 slightly in the center. In this embodiment, the sides of the drug part 4 are restricted by four mounting members 8, so that the drug part 4 is positioned slightly in the center of the drug receiving section 7. After the drug part 4 is assembled between the four mounting members 8, the drug part 4 is fixed by installing a fixing part (not shown) on the mounting member 8. Alternatively, in fixing the drug part 4, a rod-shaped member penetrating the center of the drug part 4 and a clamp for holding the drug part 4 may be used instead of the mounting member 8 and the fixing part.

An outwardly projecting flange 6 is integrally provided on the tray body 5, allowing the tray body 5 to be attached to and detached from the cover 3. The outwardly projecting flange 6 extends horizontally outward from the upper edge of the tray body 5 and is formed across the entire circumference of the tray body 5. In the new product state, a barrier film (not shown) made of aluminum film and resin film layers is adhered to the outwardly projecting flange 6 to seal the medicine receiving part 7 and prevent the medicine contained in the medicine part 4 from drying out. In use, the barrier film is peeled off from the outwardly projecting flange 6, and the cover 3 is installed on the tray body 2 with the inside of the medicine receiving part 7 exposed.

On the inner side of the tray body 5, there are strip-shaped protrusions 9 for guiding flying pests to the pesticide section 4. In this embodiment, the strip-shaped protrusions 9 are provided at equal intervals at four locations on the inner side of the tray body 5. The dimensions of each strip-shaped protrusion 9 are set to a width of 3 to 10 mm, a thickness of 0.5 to 3 mm, and a length of 10 to 30 mm. Each strip-shaped protrusion 9 is provided in a range from the outwardly protruding flange 6 to near the root of the transverse arrangement member 8. The pesticide section 4 is configured to contact at least a portion of each strip-shaped protrusion 9. The flying pests that have invaded the interior of the flying pest trap 1A move along the strip-shaped protrusion 9 towards the pesticide section 4 below. Furthermore, the flying pests are killed by the insecticidal ingredients contained in the pesticide. Thus, by pre-positioning the strip-shaped protrusion 9 on the inner side of the tray section 2, the captured flying pests can be reliably guided towards the pesticide section 4.

<Cover> Figure 3 shows the flying pest trap 1A according to the first embodiment; (a) is a top view, and (b) is a side view. As shown in Figures 3(a) and (b), the cover 3 is formed to resemble a carousel shape using injection molding, vacuum molding, bulging molding, blow molding, or other methods with thermoplastic resin. The cover 3 has a top cover 11 that covers the top of the tray portion 2, and a side portion 12 that covers the sides of the tray portion 2.

<Top Cover> The top cover 11 is a hollow structure that bulges upwards in a hemispherical dome shape, completely covering the upper side of the tray portion 2. The top cover 11, through the attraction ports 21 and 22 (described later), guides outside air into the interior of the flying pest trap 1A, diffusing the attractant components contained in the pesticide portion 4 (see FIG. 2) outwards. Furthermore, the top cover 11 ensures necessary ventilation and prevents the pesticide portion 4, housed in the pesticide receiving portion 7 (see FIG. 2) of the tray portion 2, from being exposed.

<Side Face Section> The side face section 12 is cylindrical and completely covers the side of the tray portion 2, surrounding it. The side face section 12 is integrally vertically mounted from the top cover 11. When the cover 3 is installed on the tray portion 2 for use as a flying pest trap 1A, the lower end of the side face section 12 can contact (abut) or approach the mounting surface S on which the tray portion 2 (flying pest trap 1A) is placed. Thus, the side face section 12 of the cover 3 extends to or near the bottom surface of the tray portion 2, such that the tray portion 2 is covered by the cover 3. Furthermore, although Figure 3(b) illustrates a configuration where the lower end of the side face 12 contacts the mounting surface S, i.e., the side face 12 extends to the bottom surface of the tray portion 2, when the lower end of the side face 12 is close to the mounting surface S, i.e., the side face 12 extends to near the bottom surface of the tray portion 2, the gap between the lower end of the side face 12 and the mounting surface S is naturally set to a size that allows flying pests hovering on the mounting surface S to move smoothly along the side (outer peripheral surface) of the side face 12.

Near the junction between the top cover 11 and the side part 12 of the cover 3, a locking part 15 is provided that can engage with the outwardly protruding flange 6 of the tray part 2. In this example, the locking part 15 is equipped with claws that can elastically engage with the outer peripheral edge of the outwardly protruding flange 6. Thus, by covering the tray part 2 with the cover 3, the operation of elastically engaging the locking part 15 of the cover 3 with the outwardly protruding flange 6 of the tray part 2 maintains the cover 3 in the assembled state of being installed on the tray part 2. On the other hand, if a certain or greater separating force is applied between the tray portion 2 and the cover portion 3, the elastic engagement of the locking portion 15 is released, and the cover portion 3 becomes detachable from the tray portion 2. In this way, the cover portion 3 can be easily attached to and detached from the tray portion 2. Furthermore, the method of detachably attaching the cover portion 3 to the tray portion 2 is not limited to the above-described method; for example, the engaging portion of the cover portion 3 can be made to be screwed into the outwardly protruding flange portion 6 of the tray portion 2.

<Attraction Ports> As shown in Figures 3(a) and (b), the hemispherical dome-shaped top cover 11 is provided with a first attraction port 21 and a second attraction port 22 to lure flying pests inward.

As shown in Figure 3(a), the first enticement opening 21 is located at the midpoint between the apex P of the top cover 11 and the outer periphery where the diameter of the horizontal cross-section of the top cover 11 is maximized, forming a rocking horse-shaped opening. The first enticement opening 21 is arranged in a plurality (four in this example) at a predetermined angular spacing (90° spacing in this example) along the circumference of the top cover 11, with the apex P of the top cover 11 as the center.

The second attraction 22 is a rounded triangular opening formed near the outer periphery of the position where the diameter of the horizontal cross-section of the top cover 11 is the largest. The second attraction 22 is arranged in a plurality (4 in this example) with a predetermined angular spacing (90° spacing in this example) in the circumferential direction of the top cover 11, centered on the apex P of the top cover 11, and with a predetermined phase deviation (45° in this example) from the first attraction 21 in the circumferential direction of the top cover 11.

Furthermore, the shape of the attractant openings 21 and 22 is not limited to the shape of a rocking horse or a triangle; they can be formed into any shape, such as a flower, a circle, a square, or a star. Moreover, there are no particular limitations on the number and arrangement of the attractant openings 21 and 22; they can be appropriately set to ensure that the attractant components contained in the pesticide section 4 are thoroughly diffused around the flying pest trap 1A.

<Annular Protrusion> As shown in Figures 3(a) and (b), a first annular protrusion 31 is provided on the outer surface of the top cover 11, formed by a protrusion that protrudes (raises) from the outer surface of the top cover 11 in a manner that surrounds the first attraction opening 21. Furthermore, a second annular protrusion 32 is provided on the outer surface of the top cover 11, formed by a protrusion that protrudes (raises) from the outer surface of the top cover 11 in a manner that surrounds the second attraction opening 22. Furthermore, on the outer surface of the top cover 11, a top annular protrusion 33 is provided around the apex P of the top cover 11, formed by a protrusion (raised protrusion) extending outward in a circular direction from the outer surface of the top cover 11.

<Linear Raised Parts> A plurality of linear raised parts 41, 42, 43, 44, and 45 are provided on the outer surface of the cover part 3.

The linear protrusions 41 and 42 are formed radially around the outer periphery of the position (lower end position) where the diameter of the horizontal cross-section of the top annular protrusion 33 is the largest.

The linear ridge 41 (hereinafter referred to as "first cover linear ridge 41") is formed by a protrusion (ridge) that protrudes outward from the outer surface of the top cover 11 in a manner that connects the first annular ridge 31 at a midway point.

The linear ridge 42 (hereinafter referred to as "second cover linear ridge 42") is formed by a protrusion (ridge) that protrudes outward from the outer surface of the top cover 11 in a manner that connects the second annular ridge 32 at the middle position.

The linear protrusion 43 (hereinafter referred to as "third cover linear protrusion 43") is provided in such a way that it connects the second annular protrusion 32 and the first cover linear protrusion 41. The third cover linear protrusion 43 is formed such that it extends in the circumferential direction of the top cover 11 in a downwardly curved state, forming a protrusion (protrusion) that protrudes (raises) from the outer surface of the top cover 11.

A linear protrusion 44 (hereinafter referred to as "first side linear protrusion 44") is provided on the outer surface of the side portion 12 in such a way that it extends upward (directly upward or inclined upward) from the bottom surface of the tray portion 2 or its vicinity. In this example, the first side linear protrusion 44 is formed by a protrusion (protrusion) that protrudes (raises) from the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the side portion 12 in a vertical direction (up and down direction) toward the lower end of the first cover linear protrusion 41.

A linear protrusion 45 (hereinafter referred to as "second side linear protrusion 45") is provided on the outer surface of the side portion 12 in such a way that it extends upward (directly upward or inclined upward) from the bottom surface of the tray portion 2 or its vicinity. In this example, the second side linear protrusion 45 is formed by a protrusion (protrusion) that protrudes (raises) from the outer surface of the side portion 12 in a vertical direction (up and down direction) and is continuous with the lower end of the second cover linear protrusion 42.

The protrusion height of the cap portion 3 protruding from the outer surface of the annular ridges 31, 32 and linear ridges 41-45 is preferably 0.1-5 mm, and more preferably 1-3 mm. If the protrusion height of the cap portion 3 protruding from the outer surface of the annular ridges 31, 32 and linear ridges 41-45 is less than 0.1 mm, the protrusion is insufficient, so flying pests will deviate from the annular ridges 31, 32 and linear ridges 41-45 during movement, and may not be lured to the attraction openings 21, 22. If the protrusion height of the cover portion 3 protruding from the annular ridges 31, 32 and the linear ridges 41-45 exceeds 5 mm, the distance from the protruding end of the annular ridges 31, 32 to the inner side of the attractant openings 21, 22 increases. Therefore, even if flying pests approach the vicinity of the attractant openings 21, 22, they may not be able to move into the interior of the flying pest trap 1A. The width of the annular ridges 31, 32 and the linear ridges 41-45 is preferably 0.5-5 mm, and more preferably 1-3 mm. If the width of the annular raised portions 31 and 32 and the linear raised portions 41-45 is less than 0.5 mm, the flying pests will have difficulty alighting on these portions due to insufficient width, and may not be able to be lured to the attraction openings 21 and 22. If the width of the annular raised portions 31 and 32 and the linear raised portions 41-45 exceeds 5 mm, the flying pests that alight on these portions will easily remain in place, and may not be able to be lured to the attraction openings 21 and 22. Furthermore, the annular protrusions 31 and 32 and the linear protrusions 41-45 may have beveled corners or rounded corners. In this case, flying pests that remain on the outer surface of the top cover 11 can easily cross the gaps formed by the annular protrusions 31 and 32 or the linear protrusions 41-45. In particular, flying pests attracted to the vicinity of the attraction openings 21 and 22 are more likely to fall into the attraction openings 21 and 22, which can improve the capture effect.

<Pesticide Section> The pesticide section 4, located within the tray section 2, attracts flying pests by releasing the attractant components contained in the impregnated pesticide outwards. The attracted pests are then killed by contact with or ingestion of the insecticidal components in the pesticide. The pesticide section 4 can, for example, be constructed by impregnating an absorbent carrier with the pesticide. In this case, the carrier can be, for example, pulp nonwoven fabric or felt. To thicken the carrier, multiple layers of thin pulp nonwoven fabric or felt can be stacked. To maintain shape and ensure efficient absorption of the pesticide, pulp nonwoven fabric and felt can be textured on their surface using jet spraying or embossing. Alternatively, liquid-absorbing sponges, paper, or fibrous aggregates can be used as the carrier for pesticide section 4, replacing pulp nonwoven fabric and felt. Furthermore, a mixture of liquid attractant and insecticidal components, solidified into a gel-like form, can also be used as pesticide section 4.

The pesticide contains: an attractant for attracting flying pests to penetrate into the interior of the tray section 2, and an insecticide for killing the flying pests.

In this invention, it is preferable to use an inducing agent that contains sweet flavorings. Examples of sweet flavorings include those containing vanillin. Vanillin flavorings, such as vanillin, ethyl vanillin, acetaldehyde ethyl vanillin acetal, vanillin acetate, ethyl vanillin isobutyrate, acetyl vanillin, ethyl vanillate, ethyl vanillin propylene glycol acetal, methyl vanillate, vanillic acid, vanillin isobutyrate, butyl vanillate, vanillin 2,3-butanediol acetal, vanillin lactate, etc., can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, vanillin and ethyl vanillin are preferred.

Furthermore, attractants can also be products containing fragrance components derived from plants that attract flying pests. Examples of flying pest attractants include carnivorous plants such as pitcher plants and saxifrage, insect-pollinating flowers such as plants in the genus *Araceae* (Araceae family), plants in the genus *Tulipa* (Tulip), and plants in the genus *Jasmine* (Jasmine). Among these flying pest attractants, plants in the genus *Araceae* are preferred. Also, some plants in the genus *Araceae* are classified as including plants in the genus *Alocasia*. In this instruction manual, both plants in the genus *Araceae* and plants in the genus *Alocasia* are used as referring to plants in the genus *Araceae*. If the attractant uses a fragrance component derived from plants of the Arisaema genus, flying pests will not be wary, and the attractant can more effectively lure and capture the flying pests into the interior of the flying pest trap 1A.

Furthermore, it can be used in combination with other stimulants. Other possible stimulants include, for example, vinegars such as balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar, brown rice vinegar, fermented rice vinegar, soy sauce vinegar, black vinegar, wine vinegar, jujube vinegar, red vinegar, persimmon vinegar, malt vinegar, purple sweet potato vinegar, and sugarcane vinegar; sugars such as white sugar, brown sugar, honey, liquid sugar, glucose, sucrose, maltose, triglycerides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, beet sugar, maple syrup, and trehalose; alcoholic beverages; fermented rice; fruits; processed fruit products; lactic acid products; seafood; processed seafood products; seafood extracts; meat; processed meat products; meat extracts; and condiments. Among these attractants, balsamic vinegar and trisaccharide are particularly effective at attracting flying pests. When used in combination with aromatic components from plants that attract flying pests, they can produce a significant attraction effect.

Insecticides, for example, include allethrin, propargyl, isopropargyl, fenpyrethrin, tetrafluorobenzyl, cypermethrin, fenpyrethrin, cypermethrin, permethrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, deltamethrin, bifenthrin, fenvalerate, cypermethrin, allethrin, flusilazole, methoxyflufenoxam, permethrin, monoflufenoxam, natural pyrethroids, pyrethrum extracts, and other pyrethroid compounds, carbaryl, methomyl, and methomyl. Carbamates such as thiamethoxam, fenitrothion, diazinon, marazon, fenthion, phoxim, phorate, chlorpyrifos, dichlorvos, etc., organophosphates such as diazinon, dioxadiazoles such as methomyl, phenylpyrazoles such as flufenoxuron, sulfonamides such as aminofluorophenyl ether, neonicotinoids such as furazolidone and imidacloprid, insect growth control compounds such as tebufenozide, hydrobutadiene, and pyriproxyfen, etc., can be used alone or in combination. Among these pesticides, neonicotinoids, also known as furazolidone, are particularly good because their low volatility makes them less likely to be disliked by flying pests and will not hinder the attraction of attractants.

In addition to the attractants and insecticides mentioned above, the pesticide can also include moisturizing ingredients such as aliphatic polyols like glycerin, sugar alcohols like sorbitol, and thickening polysaccharides like xanthan gum. This will help maintain the pesticide's effectiveness for a longer period. It is best to adjust the pesticide to the appropriate concentration with purified water before use.

In the flying pest trap 1A shown in FIG1, configured as described above, if a flying pest resting on the outer surface of the top cover 11 reaches a certain position of the annular ridges 31 and 32, it will move along the annular ridges 31 and 32 due to its habit. Furthermore, if a flying pest resting on the outer surface of the top cover 11 reaches the linear ridges 41, 42, and 43, it will move along the linear ridges 41, 42, and 43 due to its habit, and be guided towards the annular ridges 31 and 32. If it reaches a certain position of the annular ridges 31 and 32, it will move along the annular ridges 31 and 32. Flying pests that move along the annular protrusions 31 and 32 are more likely to enter the interior of the flying pest trap 1A through the attraction ports 21 and 22. The flying pests that enter the interior of the flying pest trap 1A through the attraction ports 21 and 22 are captured by the flying pest trap 1A by falling into the tray portion 2 (see Figure 2).

On the other hand, if a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1A reaches a certain position on the first side linear ridge 44, due to its habits, it may: climb along the first side linear ridge 44, step into the first cover linear ridge 41, further climb the first cover linear ridge 41, and be guided directly towards the first annular ridge 31; or step from the first cover linear ridge 41 into the third cover linear ridge 43, move along the third cover linear ridge 43, and be guided towards the second annular ridge 32.

Furthermore, if a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1A reaches a certain position on the second side linear ridge 45, it will, due to its habit, climb along the second side linear ridge 45 and be guided directly towards the second annular ridge 32.

Furthermore, if a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1A reaches the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the side face 12 between the first side linear ridge 44 and the second side linear ridge 45, it will climb the outer surface of the side face 12 against gravity due to its habit. Moreover, if it reaches a certain position on the third cover linear ridge 43, it may move along the third cover linear ridge 43 and be guided directly towards the second annular ridge 32; or it may move from the third cover linear ridge 43 towards the first cover linear ridge 41, climb along the first cover linear ridge 41, and be guided towards the first annular ridge 31.

When a flying pest is guided toward the first annular ridge 31, if it reaches a certain position on the first annular ridge 31, it moves along the first annular ridge 31. In this case, it easily enters the flying pest trap 1A through the first attraction opening 21 along the first annular ridge 31. When a flying pest is guided toward the second annular ridge 32, if it reaches a certain position on the second annular ridge 32, it moves along the second annular ridge 32. In this case, it easily enters the flying pest trap 1A through the second attraction opening 22 along the second annular ridge 32. Flying pests that enter the interior of the flying pest trap 1A through the attraction ports 21 and 22 are captured by the flying pest trap 1A by falling into the tray section 2.

In this way, flying pests should be lured along the linear ridges 41-45 to the annular ridges 31 and 32. As a result, the likelihood of flying pests entering the interior of the flying pest trap 1A through the attraction openings 21 and 22 is increased, and they then fall into the tray 2. Furthermore, the flying pests that fall into the tray 2 and land on the pesticide section 4 are killed by the insecticidal ingredients contained in the pesticide section 4.

According to the first embodiment of the flying pest trap 1A, it can capture not only flying pests that stay on the cover 3, but also flying pests that hover around the cover 3. In particular, it can enhance the negative grounding tendency by complementing the habit of moving along the linear ridges 44 and 45 on the side, thereby improving the capture effect. Furthermore, the captured and killed flying pests can be easily visually confirmed through the attraction openings 21 and 22 provided on the cover 3 (top cover 11), allowing for a real sense of the insect-catching and killing effect.

[Second Embodiment] Figure 4 is a perspective view of the flying pest trap 1B according to the second embodiment. Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view of the flying pest trap 1B according to the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, for those identical or the same as those in the first embodiment, only the same symbol is added in the figures and their detailed description is omitted. The following description focuses on the parts unique to the second embodiment (the same applies to the third to sixth embodiments described later).

<Pattern Section> As shown in FIG. 5, in the tray section 2 of the second embodiment of the flying pest trap 1B, the outwardly projecting flange 6 (see FIG. 2) of the tray section 2 in the first embodiment can be replaced by an inwardly projecting flange 55. The inwardly projecting flange 55, except for the portion with the strip-shaped protrusion 9, is formed in a desired circumferential location in the tray section body 5, extending horizontally inward from the upper edge of the tray section body 5 without interfering with the mounting member 8. Otherwise, it is substantially the same as the tray section 2 of the first embodiment.

<Lid> The lid 3 is a hollow structure that bulges upward in a hemispherical dome shape, completely covering the upper side of the tray portion 2. That is, in the second embodiment, the lid 3 has a structure with the top cover portion 11 of the lid 3 in the first embodiment as its main body, but does not have side portions 12.

In the tray portion 2 and the cover portion 3, when the lower end of the cover portion 3 and the upper end of the tray portion 2 are in contact, the shape and size of the intersecting portions of the cover portion 3 and the upper end of the tray portion 2 are set in such a way that the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the cover portion 3 and the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the tray portion 2 are made to be the same plane.

On the inner periphery of the cover portion 3, a locking portion 56 is provided that engages with the inwardly projecting flange portion 55 of the tray portion 2. In this example, the locking portion 56 is equipped with claws, which elastically engage with the outer periphery of the inwardly projecting flange portion 55. Thus, by covering the tray portion 2 with the cover portion 3, the operation of elastically engaging the locking portion 56 of the cover portion 3 with the inwardly projecting flange portion 55 of the tray portion 2 maintains the cover portion 3 in the assembled state of being installed on the tray portion 2. On the other hand, if a certain or greater separating force is applied between the tray portion 2 and the cover portion 3, the elastic engagement of the locking portion 56 is released, and the cover portion 3 becomes removable from the tray portion 2. In this way, the cover 3 can be easily attached to and detached from the tray 2. Also, the way in which the engaging part of the cover 3 can be screwed into the inwardly protruding flange 55 of the tray 2 is the same as in the first embodiment.

In this way, in the second embodiment of the flying pest trap 1B, the lower end of the cover 3 and the upper end of the tray 2 are joined in such a way that no step difference is formed between the cover 3 and the tray 2. Furthermore, the size of the step difference should be such that the flying pests have difficulty crossing it; for example, it can be set to a step difference of 0.1 to 3 mm.

<Luring Port> Figure 6 is a top view of the flying pest trap 1B according to the second embodiment. A first attracting port 61 and a second attracting port 62 are provided in the hemispherical dome-shaped cover 3 to lure flying pests inward.

The first entrapment opening 61 is a flower-shaped opening formed at the midpoint between the apex P of the cover 3 and the outer periphery where the diameter of the horizontal cross-section of the cover 3 is the largest. The first entrapment opening 61 is arranged in a plurality (3 in this example) with a predetermined angular spacing (120° spacing in this example) in the circumferential direction of the cover 3, with the apex P of the cover as the center.

The second entrapment opening 62 is formed in a leaf shape near the outer periphery where the diameter of the horizontal cross-section of the cover portion 3 is the largest. The second entrapment opening 62 is arranged in a plurality (3 in this example) with a predetermined angular spacing (120° spacing in this example) in the circumferential direction of the cover portion 3, centered on the apex P of the cover portion 3, and with a predetermined angle (60° in this example) phase offset from the first entrapment opening 61 in the circumferential direction of the cover portion 3.

Furthermore, the shape of the attractant openings 61 and 62 is not limited to flower or leaf shapes; it can be any shape, such as a rocking horse, circle, triangle, square, or star. Moreover, there are no particular limitations on the number and arrangement of the attractant openings 61 and 62; they can be appropriately configured to ensure that the attractant components contained in the pesticide section 4 are thoroughly diffused around the flying pest trap 1B.

<Annular Protrusion> On the outer surface of the cover portion 3, a first annular protrusion 71 is provided, formed by a protrusion that protrudes outward from the outer surface of the cover portion 3 in a manner that surrounds the first attraction opening 61. Furthermore, on the outer surface of the cover portion 3, a second annular protrusion 72 is provided, formed by a protrusion that protrudes outward from the outer surface of the cover portion 3 in a manner that surrounds the second attraction opening 62.

<Linear Elevations> As shown in Figure 4, linear elevations 81, 82, and 83 are provided on the outer surface of the cover portion 3. Furthermore, linear elevations 84 and 85 are provided on the outer surface of the tray portion 2.

The linear ridge 81 (hereinafter referred to as "first cover linear ridge 81") is formed in a serpentine manner extending from the position of the first annular ridge 71 toward the outer periphery of the position where the diameter of the horizontal cross-section of the cover 3 is the largest (lower end position). The first cover linear ridge 81 is formed by a protrusion (ridge) that protrudes (raises) outward from the outer surface of the cover 3 in a form connected to the first annular ridge 71.

The linear ridge 82 (hereinafter referred to as "second cover linear ridge 82") is formed in a serpentine manner extending from the position of the second annular ridge 72 toward the outer periphery of the position where the diameter of the horizontal cross-section of the cover 3 is the largest (lower end position). The second cover linear ridge 82 is formed by a protrusion (ridge) that protrudes (raises) outward from the outer surface of the cover 3 in a form connected to the second annular ridge 72.

The linear protrusion 83 (hereinafter referred to as "third cover linear protrusion 83") is a protrusion that protrudes (raises) outward from the outer surface of the cover 3, and is formed in such a way as to connect the second annular protrusion 72 and the first cover linear protrusion 81.

The linear protrusion 84 (hereinafter referred to as "first tray surface linear protrusion 84") is provided on the outer surface of the tray portion 2 in such a way that it extends upward (directly upward or inclined upward) from the bottom surface of the tray portion 2 or its vicinity. In this example, the first tray surface linear protrusion 84 is a protrusion (raised) that protrudes (raises) from the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the tray portion 2, and is formed to extend upward in a way that it is continuous from the bottom surface of the tray portion 2 and the lower end of the first cover surface linear protrusion 81.

The linear protrusion 85 (hereinafter referred to as "second tray surface linear protrusion 85") is provided on the outer surface of the tray portion 2 in such a way that it extends upward (directly upward or inclined upward) from the bottom surface or its vicinity of the tray portion 2. In this example, the second tray surface linear protrusion 85 is a protrusion (raised) that protrudes (raises) from the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the tray portion 2, and is formed to extend upward in a manner that is continuous from the bottom surface of the tray portion 2 and the lower end of the second cover surface linear protrusion 82.

In the flying pest trap 1B shown in FIG4, which is configured as described above, if a flying pest resting on the outer surface of the cover 3 reaches a certain position of the annular ridges 71 and 72, it will move along the annular ridges 71 and 72 due to its habit. Furthermore, if a flying pest resting on the outer surface of the cover 3 reaches the linear ridges 81, 82, and 83, it will move along the linear ridges 81, 82, and 83 due to its habit, and be guided toward the annular ridges 71 and 72. If it reaches a certain position of the annular ridges 71 and 72, it will move along the annular ridges 71 and 72. Flying pests that move along the annular protrusions 71 and 72 can easily enter the interior of the flying pest trap 1B through the attraction ports 61 and 62. The flying pests that enter the interior of the flying pest trap 1B through the attraction ports 61 and 62 are then captured by the flying pest trap 1B by falling into the tray portion 2.

On the other hand, if a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1B reaches a certain position on the linear ridge 84 of the first tray surface, due to its habits, it may: climb along the linear ridge 84 of the first tray surface, step into the linear ridge 81 of the first cover surface, further climb the linear ridge 81 of the first cover surface, and be guided directly towards the first annular ridge 71; or step into the third linear ridge 83 of the cover surface, which is set in a form that branches from the linear ridge 81 of the first cover surface, move along the third linear ridge 83 of the cover surface, and be guided towards the second annular ridge 72.

Furthermore, if a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1B reaches a certain position on the linear ridge 85 of the second tray surface, it will climb along the linear ridge 85 of the second tray surface due to its habit and be guided directly towards the second annular ridge 72.

Furthermore, if a flying pest hovering around the flying pest trap 1B reaches the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the tray portion 2 between the first tray surface linear ridge 84 and the second tray surface linear ridge 85, it will climb the outer surface of the tray portion 2 against gravity due to its habit. Moreover, if it reaches a certain position on the first cover surface linear ridge 81 or the second cover surface linear ridge 82, it will move along the first cover surface linear ridge 81, the second cover surface linear ridge 82, or the third cover surface linear ridge 83 and be guided towards the first annular ridge 71 or the second annular ridge 72.

When a flying pest is guided toward the first annular ridge 71, if it reaches a certain position on the first annular ridge 71, it will move along the first annular ridge 71. In this case, it easily enters the flying pest trap 1B through the first attraction opening 61 along the first annular ridge 71. When a flying pest is guided toward the second annular ridge 72, if it reaches a certain position on the second annular ridge 72, it will move along the second annular ridge 72. In this case, it easily enters the flying pest trap 1B through the second attraction opening 62 along the second annular ridge 72. Flying pests that enter the interior of the flying pest trap 1B through the attraction ports 61 and 62 are captured by the flying pest trap 1B by falling into the tray section 2.

In this way, flying pests are lured along the linear ridges 81-85 to the annular ridges 71 and 72. As a result, the likelihood of flying pests entering the interior of the flying pest trap 1B through the attraction openings 61 and 62 is increased, and they then fall into the tray 2. Furthermore, the flying pests that fall into the tray 2 and land on the pesticide section 4 remain on the pesticide section 4 until they die due to the action of the insecticidal ingredients contained in the pesticide section 4.

The second embodiment of the flying pest trap 1B, like the first embodiment of the flying pest trap 1A, is effective not only at trapping flying pests resting on the cover 3, but also at trapping flying pests hovering around the tray 2. In particular, its tendency to move along the linear ridges 84 and 85 on the tray surface further enhances its negative grounding ability and improves the trapping effect. Furthermore, the trapped and killed flying pests can be easily visually confirmed through the attraction openings 61 and 62 provided on the cover 3, allowing for a tangible sense of the trapping and killing effect.

[Third Embodiment] Figure 7 is a perspective view of the flying pest trap 1C according to the third embodiment. As shown in Figure 7, the flying pest trap 1C of the third embodiment omits the first side linear ridge 44 and the second side linear ridge 45 of the flying pest trap 1A of the first embodiment (see Figure 1). In this flying pest trap 1C, if a flying pest hovering around the trap reaches the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the side face 12, it will, due to its habit, climb against gravity onto the outer surface of the side face 12. Furthermore, if it reaches a certain position on the second annular ridge 32, it will be guided directly towards the second annular ridge 32. If it reaches a certain position on the third cover linear ridge 43, it will move along the third cover linear ridge 43 and be guided towards the second annular ridge 32. Alternatively, it can move from the third cover linear ridge 43 towards the first cover linear ridge 41, climb along the first cover linear ridge 41, and be guided towards the first annular ridge 31. As shown in Figures 7 and 1, by providing linear raised portions (41-43; 41-45) connected to the annular raised portions 31 and 32 on the outer surface of the top cover 11, or on the outer surface of the top cover 11 and the side portion 12, even if flying pests are stationary at a position some distance from the attraction ports 21 and 22, they can still be lured to the annular raised portions 31 and 32 along the linear raised portions (41-43; 41-45). As a result, the likelihood of flying pests entering the flying pest traps 1A and 1C from the attraction ports 21 and 22 increases, and they fall into the tray portion 2 and are captured.

[Fourth Embodiment] Figure 8 is a perspective view of the flying pest trap 1D according to the fourth embodiment. As shown in Figure 8, the flying pest trap 1D of the fourth embodiment omits the linear raised portion 84 and the linear raised portion 85 of the first tray surface in the flying pest trap 1B of the second embodiment (see Figure 4). Flying pests hovering around this flying pest trap 1D, if they reach the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the tray portion 2, will, due to their habits, climb the outer surface of the tray portion against gravity. Furthermore, if it reaches a certain position on the first linear protrusion 81, the second linear protrusion 82, or the third linear protrusion 83 of the cover surface, it will move along the first linear protrusion 81, the second linear protrusion 82, or the third linear protrusion 83 and be guided towards the first annular protrusion 71 or the second annular protrusion 72.

[Fifth Embodiment] Figure 9 is a perspective view of the flying pest trap 1E according to the fifth embodiment. As shown in Figure 9, in the flying pest trap 1E of the fifth embodiment, the attraction ports 21, 22, annular ridges 31, 32, and linear ridges 41-43 in the flying pest trap 1C of the third embodiment (see Figure 7) can be replaced by attraction ports 61, 62, annular ridges 71, 72, and linear ridges 81-83. Otherwise, it is basically the same as the flying pest trap 1C of the third embodiment. The fifth embodiment can achieve the same effect as the third embodiment.

[Sixth Embodiment] Figure 10 is a perspective view of the flying pest trap 1F according to the sixth embodiment. As shown in Figure 10, in the flying pest trap 1F of the sixth embodiment, compared with the flying pest trap 1E of the fifth embodiment (see Figure 9), the linear ridge 86 is a protrusion (ridge) formed on the side surface 12 and protruding (raising) from the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the side surface 12. The linear ridge 86 includes: a first linear ridge piece 86a, a second linear ridge piece 86b, and a third linear ridge piece 86c. The first linear raised piece 86a extends from the lower end of the side panel 12, connecting with the lower end of the first cover linear raised portion 81, and extends in a shape combining a slightly straight line and a curved line in a direction intersecting the vertical direction. The second linear raised piece 86b extends downward in a curved shape from the junction of the slightly straight line and curved line in the first linear raised piece 86a, towards the lower end of the side panel 12. The third linear raised piece 86c extends upward in a curved shape from the middle of the slightly straight line in the first linear raised piece 86a, connecting with the lower end of the second cover linear raised portion 82. According to the sixth embodiment, the same effects as the first and second embodiments, which have the same basic structure, can be obtained.

The present invention has been described above with reference to multiple embodiments of the flying pest trap. However, the present invention is not limited to the configuration disclosed in the above embodiments, and its configuration may be appropriately modified without departing from its purpose. [Examples]

The following describes embodiments of the flying pest trap of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

(Capture Test: Confirmation of Capture Effects for Different Structures) Representative flying pests used in the insect tests included the black-bellied fruit fly, the black fruit fly, and fleas. Example 1 used the flying pest trap 1E of the fifth embodiment shown in Figure 9, Example 2 used the flying pest trap 1F of the sixth embodiment shown in Figure 10, and Comparative Example 1 used the conventional flying pest trap 200 disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-102262 (see Figure 11). The pesticide part 4 was the same, and the number of insects captured over a certain period of time was calculated for comparison. Here, in Figure 11, the same symbols are added to the parts that are the same as those in the above embodiments. In the conventional flying pest trap 200 shown in Figure 11, a connecting portion 201 is formed in the cover portion 3 that engages with the outwardly projecting flange portion 6 (see Figure 2) of the tray portion 2. Therefore, in the flying pest trap 200, a step 202 is formed at the engagement point between the outwardly projecting flange portion 6 and the connecting portion 201. The results of the trapping tests conducted under the above conditions are shown in Table 1 below.

[Table 1] Implementation Example 1 Implementation Example 2 Comparative example 1 The number of insects captured compared to the comparison Black-bellied fruit fly 1.41 1.65 1.00 Black fruit fly 1.07 1.09 1.00 flea 1.51 1.71 1.00

As shown in Table 1, a better trapping effect was obtained in Example 1 than in Comparative Example 1. This is believed to be because, in the flying pest trap 1E of Example 1, the side facet 12 is integrally suspended from the top cover 11 in the cover 3, so there is no step difference between the side facet 12 and the top cover 11. The test insects can smoothly climb from the side facet 12 towards the top cover 11. In contrast, in the flying pest trap 200 of Comparative Example 1, a step difference 202 is formed between the cover 3 and the tray 2. The test insects climbing onto the tray 2 stop at a certain part of the step difference 202 and cannot climb further.

In Embodiment 2, if the test insects hovering around the flying pest trap 1F reach the linear ridges 86, they will climb along the linear ridges 86 and move along the linear ridges 81, 82, and 83, being guided towards the smooth circular ridges 71 and 72. Therefore, as shown in Table 1, in Embodiment 2, compared with Embodiment 1, the negative geotropism is further enhanced, increasing the likelihood that the test insects will invade the trap from the attraction ports 61 and 62, resulting in a better overall trapping effect for the test insects.

Furthermore, omitting the data prompt, using the first embodiment of the flying pest trap 1A shown in Figure 1 and the third embodiment of the flying pest trap 1C shown in Figure 7, the same tests as the aforementioned trapping experiment 1 were conducted. It was also confirmed that by increasing the negative ground attraction effect of the linear ridges 44 and 45, the flying pest trap 1A shown in Figure 1 can achieve a higher trapping effect. [Industrial Applicability]

The flying pest trap of this invention is suitable for controlling flying pests, especially fruit flies, fleas, black fungus flies, mushroom flies, butterflies and other flies. It can also be used to control house flies, black flies, golden flies and flesh flies.
