Description

The utility model "Universal accumulative trap for catching bugs-bugs" refers to the field of agriculture and ornamental gardening, namely the protection of plants from harmful insects in both open and closed ground, and is intended for the mass capture of nymphs and adults of various types of bugs -protectors, including the brown marble bug Halyomorpha halys. In world practice, various configurations of pheromone traps for catching bugs are described (Rice K., Morrison III W., Short B, Acebes-Doria Α., Bergh J., Leskey T. // Improved trap designs and retention mechanisms for Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) // Journal of economic entomology. 2018, No. 111 (5), p.2136-2142.) [1]. A comparative assessment of the operation of various types of traps under the same conditions is given (Acebes-Doria Α., Agnello Α., Alston D., Andrews Η., Beers Ε., Bergh J., .... Leskey T. // Season-long monitoring of the brown marmorated stink bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) throughout the United States using commercially available traps and lures // Journal of economic entomology. 2020, No. 113 (1), p.159-171.) [2]. The effectiveness of pyramidal pheromone traps has been recognized for mass catching of bugs (Morrison III W., Cullum J., Leskey C. // Evaluation of trap designs and deployment strategies for capturing Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) // Journal of economic entomology. 2015, No. 108 (4), p.1683-1692.) [3].

Analysis of the world level of technology. Known utility model patent RU 201632 "Trap light pheromone for flying insects", published on 24.12.2020 [4]. This trap, containing a body made of polymer material, including a container, a funnel to be put on it with support posts, a lid inserted into the support posts and secured with nuts, and a bait basket with a cap, which are inserted into the hole in the lid and placed in the space between the lid and funnel, characterized in that it contains an electronic board with batteries, which is made in the form of a single removable element and is installed inside the case using threaded pins, as well as two boards with UV LEDs connected to the electronic board, which are inserted into the cuts of the support posts in such a way in such a way that the radiation from them is directed in opposite directions from each other along the body. The device can be used to monitor the abundance and species composition of harmful insects attracted by smell and / or light. Insects enter the collection container through a funnel.

Disadvantages: lack of species-specificity when trapping insects, the storage tank is not large enough for mass collection of insect pests.

Known patent for invention SU 1604312 "Pheromone trap for insects", published on 11.07.1990 [5]. A pheromone insect trap comprising a receptacle, a lid and a pheromone container with an opening is characterized in that it increases the efficiency of trapping insects by regulating the release of pheromone. The lid is made in the form of a sealed vessel having a bottom in the form of an elastic membrane, and the container for the pheromone is installed under the elastic membrane with the possibility of interacting with it with its opening. The membrane moves and closes the container opening due to the temperature difference.

Disadvantages: narrow range of action, since the design is ineffective at temperatures that differ from those required for the operation of the device; ceases to function if the tightness of the device is broken.

Known patent for invention US 7150125 "Insect attraction and capture device", published on 19.12.2006 [6]. The device contains a ground portion to attract bugs, which directs insects to the top of the trap to capture them. The ground portion contains many elements (ribs), forming channels that taper from the lower wide base to the narrower apex at the upper end of the ground portion. The terrestrial part is predominantly of a color that attracts the target insect species.

The upper part of the device contains a closed chamber with an inlet opening therein.

Disadvantages: no possibility of hanging the trap, installation only on the soil surface, maintenance of the trap and extraction of material is difficult and poses the risk of its partial loss.

Known patent for invention US 8677677 "Illuminated insect trap", published 03/25/2014 [7]. The trap includes a lighting device, a cover limiting the inlet, an inlet cone for the accumulation of insects and their advance along the ribs into a catching chamber made of rigid transparent plastic in the form of a flask with an inlet from below, which engages with the lid for their tight connection. A collar is mounted on the entrance cone, which makes it easier for insects to enter the trap and prevents them from escaping after getting inside. The lighting device is attached to the base or top of the trap and includes light emitting elements directed towards the bait for the target insect species. The lighting elements can be selected with the appropriate wavelength to attract the insect.

Disadvantages: the device contains a hard and fragile trap glass, it is required to remove the collected material into an additional container, which increases labor costs, and there is a risk of losing the collected insects.

The design of a pheromone trap made of soft plastic plant pots (30 cm in diameter and 40 cm in height) with a cut-out bottom is proposed by Suckling D. [8]. The device can be rotated by a weather vane, and the leeward end is covered with a stainless steel metal mesh with a mesh size of 1 mm, sealed with hot glue, in which insects are caught, flocking to the bait, which is located inside the hole in the center of the trap.

Disadvantages: maintenance of the trap and extraction of material is difficult due to the rigidity of the structure, which poses the risk of partial loss of captured insects.

The closest analogue is the invention CA 2824850 "Stink bug trap", published on 02.08.2012 [9], which was adopted as a prototype. The trap includes a lid limiting the inlet, an inlet cone for the accumulation of insects and their advance along the ribs into a catching chamber made of rigid transparent plastic in the form of a flask with an inlet from below, which engages with the lid for their tight connection. A collar is mounted on the entrance cone, which makes it easier for insects to enter the trap and prevents them from escaping after getting inside.

The disadvantages of this design include its capacity, which is limited by the small size of the flask, the inconvenience of removing insects from it, the fragility of the flask during transportation and operation.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the number of individuals caught in the trap is regulated by the useful volume of its removable soft storage tank, which has a special shape with an opening and a cuff for connecting the upper and lower parts of the trap. With the help of the proposed utility model, the efficiency of catching, transporting and destroying bugs is increased due to the use of a soft storage tank of various sizes, which can be disposed of together with the captured material, which in turn speeds up the maintenance of the traps.

Brief description of the drawings.

FIG. 1 - a universal accumulative trap for catching various types of bug bugs.

FIG. 2 - soft storage tank for collecting various types of bugs.

List of items in figure 1, figure 2:

1 - plastic ladders, 2 - soft storage tank, 3 - connecting sleeve, 4 - honeycomb cone, 5 - pheromone dispenser holder, 6 - cut-off ring, 7 - eyelet.

Attracted by the pheromone dispenser mounted on the holder 5, the insects concentrate on the plastic ladders 1 and rise up the honeycomb cone 4, where they enter the soft storage tank 2, which has a different volume, suspended in a suspended state through the eyelets 7 and securely fixed through the connecting sleeve 3 with plastic ladders 1, and the cut-off ring 6 facilitates the rapid penetration of insects and prevents the captured material from escaping outside.

The utility model is used as follows.

After connecting the plastic ladders 1 with the honeycomb cone 4, a pheromone dispenser is suspended to it on a special holder 5, a cut-off ring 6 is mounted on top of the cone 4, then placed inside a soft storage container 2 and fixed to the plastic ladders 1 with a connecting sleeve 3, then the trap is fixed with the help of eyelets 7. The bugs-bugs, attracted by the pheromone, concentrate on the ladders 1 and move inside the soft storage tank 2 along the cellular cone 4, then get inside, and the cut-off ring 6 prevents their exit.

Used soft storage tank 2 with pests caught in it is disconnected from the plastic part of the universal storage trap for catching bugs and disposed of. Having loosened the connecting sleeve 3, we disconnect the soft storage tank 2 from the ladders 1 and replace it with a new one. The collection of material and replacement of the soft storage container 2 is carried out as it is filled with insects.

The most effective universal accumulative trap for catching bugs was shown when capturing nymphs and adults of the brown marble bug Halyomorpha halys. The proposed device can be used in places where the bugs are spread for their monitoring and mass capture. Using the device will reduce the number of chemical treatments or eliminate them altogether.
