WO2012036539A1 - Trap for eliminating pests, including small and large species, using pheromone-based attraction - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a trap for capturing small species, including an internal cage intended to house the pest or specimen to be eliminated, in a clinically induced oestrus state, or pheromene-impregnated materials used to attract same. Feed is placed in the chamber to serve as bait. The trap includes an air inlet and an air outlet for releasing air from the chamber into the environment or directing same through tubes using motors. A ramp is provided below the air outlet inside the chamber and serves as an access slide, said outlet containing a non-return gate. In addition, a flexible tube is attached to the exterior of the chamber, providing access for the animal. The trap includes a side gate through which the prey can be removed.

Description

 TRAP FOR ELIMINATION OF PESTS THAT INCLUDE MINOR AND MAJOR SPECIES USING ATTRACTION THROUGH

PHEROMONES

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a mechanical trap that uses mechanisms of attraction to the interior of the species to be annihilated based on pheromones, which is why it is considered as mechanical and biotechnological fields.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Patent No. US97810, US20040116324, GB 2436288 deals with packages, bubbles or bait-like foods to attract rodents that are composed of pheromonic materials such as phosphorus, zinc, magnesium and aluminum, etc. which can be used as material to direct rodents only into the present invention, however my invention is not only bait, but the use thereof to introduce other species that include rodents to the trap.

The invention No. US4418493 consists of a trap whose main goodness is the modularity it uses to introduce the species, mainly by placing food in a central module, but my invention is simply a single piece and the modularity of the cited patent is not required.

The invention No. WO 03/067980 consists of a pest trap where there are two main characteristics, the entrance needs to be at the top and the internal walls need to be sufficiently smooth so that the species does not climb, a situation that is different in my invention.

The invention UA 67266, DE10326833 consists of traps where modifications are made to the substance to attract species, however publication will be required to detect their differences. Other traps employ mechanisms for detecting animals inside them, as is the case of patent FR2855373, and it automatically differs from my invention by using these mechanisms.

Other inventions only control the amount of insects per unit area by manipulating with pheromones the total amount of the insect population, such is the case of patent KR870001843

Of the Mexican patents, some use sticky substances as strips, which differentiates my invention, others are specific in the pests that they handle like the cockroach, others use mechanisms to lengthen as telecopes, accordions, etc. like MXPA94008419, MX9706410 and MX2008016066.

The closest antecedent consists of the application No. X971010046, where the trap uses some forces and levers to sacrifice the dams, however my invention does not make sacrifices if this is not the user's desire and if it does, it uses a method of suffocation and no force to kill them.

DESCRIPTION

The characteristic details of this novel trap for the elimination of pests that include minor species using attraction by means of pheromones, are clearly shown in the following description and in the accompanying drawings as well as an illustration of that and following the same reference signs to indicate the parts and figures shown.

Brief description of the figures: Figure 1 is a front view of the pest elimination trap comprising smaller species using attraction by means of pheromones. Figure 2 is a right side view without flexible tubes of the pest elimination trap comprising smaller species using pheromone attraction.

Figure 3 is a left side view of the pest elimination trap comprising smaller species using pheromone attraction.

Figure 4 is a rear view of the pest elimination trap comprising minor species using pheromone attraction.

Figure 5 is a top view of the pest elimination trap comprising smaller species using pheromone attraction.

Figure 6 is a conventional perspective view of the pest elimination trap comprising minor species using pheromone attraction.

Figure 7 is a side view of the inner part of the chamber, showing the door of no recoil of the trap for the elimination of pests comprising smaller species using attraction by means of pheromones.

Figure 8 is a side view of the inner part of the chamber, showing the non-recoil door with the counter device of the pest elimination trap comprising smaller species using pheromone attraction.

Based on Figure 1, the trap for the elimination of pests comprising smaller species using pheromone attraction, consists of a chamber 1 whose internal part has a cage 2 in which an animal of the opposite sex is placed. it is intended to trap either food or, where appropriate, materials with pheromones of the species, in the upper part of the chamber 1 it has an air intake 3 that is used to introduce or extract air into the chamber 1 using pipe 4 and at least one motor 5; on the side face of the chamber 1 it has an outlet 6 of the gases found in said chamber chamber 1, at the outlet 6 has flexible tubes 7 with an internal non-skid material that allows the species to climb internally following the trace of the gases that emanate from the chamber 1; at the exit 6, the invention has a non-recoil door 8 and within the chamber 1 it continues with a ramp 9 where the species in question slips due to material or composition of said ramp; on one side of the chamber 1 the trap has a door 10 to extract the captured species.

A variant of the trap consists in adding a counter 11 to know how many species are in the chamber and said device would be placed near the non-recoil door 8, and thus be able to know when the trap is filled with pests.

Claims

Claim 1. A trap for the elimination of pests comprising minor species using pheromone attraction characterized in that it consists of: a. a chamber whose internal part has a cage, b. in the chamber it has an air intake with pipe and at least one motor, c. It has an outlet for gases with flexible pipes made of an internal non-skid material d. a non-recoil door inside the chamber and under it continues with a ramp e. On one side of the chamber the trap has a door to extract the captured species. 2. A trap for the elimination of pests comprising smaller species using attraction by means of pheromones as in the previous claim characterized in that in the non-recoil door, it has a counter device.
