Description

The invention relates to medicine, agriculture, animal husbandry, the agro-industrial complex and those sectors of the economy where there is a need to combat blood-sucking ticks, to the field of disinfestation.

The invention can be used in forestry and parks to destroy and reduce the number of ectoparasite ticks in the biocenosis, as well as during research work in the field of entomology, biocenology, parasitology and epidemiology, in particular for parasitological assessment of the territory in order to determine indicators of epidemiological infection hearth.

The device can allow to outline the boundaries of the outbreak as a population in order to determine and know its area. And thus, to control the population size - the focus of ticks, to control the infection.

Known methods and devices for combating ectoparasites of ticks.

1. Effective - chemical pest control methods when sprayed liquid is applied to a surface treated with chemicals.

All over the world, services are engaged in the prevention and destruction of bloodsuck ticks in places of their mass appearance. Only chemical agents and methods are used to combat them, the analysis of which shows: after their use, taking into account the genetic rearrangements of the surviving arthropods, as practice shows, there remains a need to search again in order to create the next, new generation of chemical agents to achieve the result. From generation to generation, the genetic resistance of ticks is growing, and ticks are winning the fight. The disadvantages of the methods: polluting the environment, do not solve the problem of reducing the number of parasites. Chemical destruction in the arthropod focus leads to a noticeable violation of the balance of flora and fauna. In addition, the complete absence of ticks can lead in the following years to a probable outbreak of the number of different species of rodents, as studies on the dynamics of the number of mouse-like, and the spread of other diseases, show.

2. Passive - the disadvantages of these analogues of the subclass of non-chemical sterilization of invertebrates is their inefficiency.

A device for the destruction of flying insects (RU 2023391 C1, A01M 1/04, 11/30/1994), intended for use in agriculture and the destruction of parasitic on agricultural animals flying insects. It is a grid with a connection to a high voltage source. It is equipped with a vibration unit with the ability to interact with conductive networks that can capture the average size of the insect. Insects are attracted by the light of a lamp. A sound generator causes the grids to vibrate at a sound frequency and oscillate with a spring. Attracted insects die under high voltage. The disadvantage of the prototype is the passive attraction of flying insects, the inability to attract actively and the inability to use ground arthropods for fishing.

A device is known for killing crawling insects (RU 2027363 C1, A01M 1/22, 01/27/1995), in which harmful insects of the type of “cockroaches, ants, caterpillars” are attracted by bait or attractant, where the insect moves along the current when moving to the bait plate and dies from electric shock. The device does not take into account the biology of arthropods, which is its disadvantage.

Known trap (US 6581324 B1, A01M 1/00, 06/24/2003), which uses a vibrator as a causative agent of the activity of fire ants (the name of the species), but due to its design features can not be used to capture ticks.

EFFECT: device provides a quick, effective and environmentally friendly way to destroy ticks of bloodsuckers in a designated area, and minimizes the influence of the human factor on the results of work.

This is achieved by the fact that the tick trap includes a vibrator for attracting ticks, made with a frequency range from 2 to 20,000 Hz, a device for attracting and destroying ticks in the form of a heat chamber with the ability to provide on the surface of the device a temperature of 36-38 degrees, characteristic of warm-blooded animals, and a storage device, wherein the trap has a means for catching mites, which comprises a fan for forcing the mites into the heat chamber and subsequently dumping the ashes into the storage device.

The drawing shows a trap for the destruction of ticks. The device has blocks:

- a vibration source, which is a bait for arthropods and insects, which is made in the form of a vibrator with a frequency range from 2 to 20,000 Hz;

- an hood consisting of an inner 2, recessed into the soil and covering the vibrator 1, a hood and an outer 3 hood fixed to the inside. The outer cap is equipped with a conical pipe 4 for mounting with a heat chamber 5. The conical shape of the pipe allows for a tight connection of the hood to the heat chamber;

- a heat chamber 5 for attracting and destroying ectoparasites and providing a temperature of 36-38 degrees, characteristic of warm-blooded animals, on the surface of the device. The heat chamber is integral or rigidly connected to the ash accumulator 6, equipped with a filter 7, which separates the accumulator from the ventilation chamber 8, in which the fan 9 is located. The stopper 12 is designed to ensure the cleaning of the accumulator.

The heat chamber is a conical pipe with placed in it thermoplates 11.

Description of the device

Vibrator 1 provides vibrations. The power of the vibrator depends on the size of the cultivated area and the type of soil. The vibrator turns on for 1-2 minutes with an interval of 10-15 minutes. Mites attracted by vibration simulating a food stimulus rush to its epicenter, and, having reached the exhaust device, driven by instinct, creep up the inner cap 2. Fan 9, turned on 5 minutes after the vibrator is turned off, starts to suck the creeping arthropods into the heat chamber 5. High suction speed prevents ticks from lingering on the surface of the inner hood. Mites drawn into the heat chamber fall onto plates heated to 100 ° C and burn. A device heated to 38 degrees imitates the body temperature of mammals.

The plates 11 are located at an angle to each other so that the mites attracted by the intake air flow fall on the upper plate and, burnt, fall on the lower plate, where they are burned. The high temperature of the heat chamber leaves no chance for arthropods to survive.

Air with ash enters the drive and, through the filter and the ventilation chamber, the cleaned air is released into the atmosphere.

The ash trapped in the filter settles in the drive. To clean the drive chamber, it is enough to unscrew the plug and, tapping the walls of the drive, shake the collected ash.

The invention allows you to set a trap in a selected place and for a short time to clear the area from arthropods in a radius determined by the power of the vibrator and the density of the soil.

The inventive device has the following elements of novelty:

- vibrator bait,

- a suction fan for collecting ectoparasites,

- a heat chamber for killing ticks and providing a set temperature to attract arthropods,

- drive for ashes.

The device forms a complete technological cycle of work to provide an effective, environmentally friendly method for collecting and destroying ectoparasites.
