As a method of extermination, it is common to install a device for catching pests in addition to spraying pesticides. Many pest-trapping instruments are provided with a box into which the pests enter, and an adhesive sheet that traps the pests inside the box and prevents them from being escaped. Such a pest-capturing device may be disposed as garbage after being installed for a predetermined period of time, and is widely used because it has a problem that the pesticide tends to remain indoors. In addition, the insect-trapping device using the adhesive sheet is not limited to cockroaches, but is also used as an insect-repelling sheet for catching flying pests gathered on street lights or indoor light sources.

[0003]

The problems of the insect pest trap using the above-mentioned pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet are enumerated below. First, the efficiency of pest capture is proportional to the effective area of the adhesive sheet. The effective area mentioned here is reduced by the captured pests, and is also reduced by the deterioration of the adhesiveness of the adhesive sheet. Therefore, in order to maintain pest capture with high efficiency, there is a human burden that the capture status must be monitored regularly or replaced after a predetermined period of time such as deterioration of stickiness. Was needed. Also, when the captured pests are discarded as garbage, the psychological burden is large. In other words, the pests that have just been captured by the adhesive sheet are still immobile and alive.
Therefore, the feeling of psychological resistance when moving the capturing device cannot be wiped out. In addition, many users have the psychology that they want to seal the used trapping device not only in the trash can but also in a highly sealed small bag, although the entire device is simply discarded. The problem with the above-mentioned pest catcher is that
The same problem is not limited to a trapping device for floor placement, but also to an insect-removing sheet for trapping pests gathered in a light source in a room.

(Objects of the Invention) Problems to be solved by the present invention are not only to save the trouble of management so as not to lower the capture efficiency, to ensure the sanitary safety at the time of disposal, but also to impose a psychological burden. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pest-capturing device capable of reducing the number of times. Here, an object of the invention described in claim 1 is to provide a pest-capturing device capable of not only ensuring sanitary safety at the time of disposal but also reducing a psychological burden. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a pest-capturing apparatus which can save the trouble of management for keeping the capturing efficiency from dropping. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a pest-capturing device capable of performing maintenance without soiling hands. Another object of the present invention is to provide a pest-capturing device which can prevent the adverse effect on the main body due to the winding roll having a winding thickness of a predetermined value or more in accordance with the amount of pests captured. That is. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a pest-capturing device capable of knowing a maintenance time.
