Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the control of unpleasant pests indoors, and more particularly to an insect control device for combating unpleasant pests that mainly move on the floor or wall such as cockroaches often found in kitchen spaces.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional insect repellent device of this kind is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-
What was described in 207551 gazette was general. This insect repellent device is configured such that a base material mixed with a cockroach repellent is attached to a floor surface or a wall surface of an installation portion of kitchen furniture. The insect repellent device removes cockroaches by using the repellent mixed in the base material.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional insect repellent device, the drug is only mixed in the base material at the initial stage, so that the amount of the drug is limited and the efficacy is short-term, and The efficacy decreases with the period of use. If it becomes less effective, it is necessary to replace the entire equipment, which involves moving and relocating the entire kitchen furniture. Therefore, there is a problem that the efficacy cannot be maintained for a long period of 10 to 20 years, which is the useful life of the kitchen furniture.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is laid on the floor or wall surface where kitchen furniture such as a system kitchen is installed, and has a plurality of legs on the lower surface of the plate member. In a continuous diffusion space formed between the floor and the floor surface, a diffusion member capable of diffusing a drug in a wide range and a drug supply device incorporating a drug such as an aerosol type insecticide or repellent and a drive device for the aerosol are provided. The drug can be supplied to the lower surface of the diffusion member.

According to the above invention, a large amount of drug can be held in the drug supply device and supplied to the diffusing member, and the drug can be applied to the relative surface and the periphery of the diffusing member to maintain the effect over a wide range for a long period of time.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An insect repellent device according to claim 1 of the present invention is laid on a floor or a wall surface on which kitchen furniture such as a system kitchen is installed, and has a plurality of legs on the lower surface of a plate member. , A diffusion member configured to diffuse a drug in a wide range in a continuous diffusion space formed between the floor surface, and a drug supply device including a drug such as an aerosol type insecticide or repellent and a drive device for the aerosol, The medicine supplying device is configured to be able to supply the medicine to the diffusing member.

Therefore, when the aerosol type drug is sprayed by the drive device by the drug supply device, the drug is supplied and diffused into the continuous diffusion space formed between the leg portion on the lower surface of the diffusion member and the floor surface. It can exert an insect repellent effect.

Since the medicine supply device according to the second aspect of the present invention has a structure in which the medicine can be exchanged and replenished, the insect repellent effect can be maintained for a long time by exchanging and replenishing the medicine.

The drug supply device according to claim 3 of the present invention is configured to supply a drug intermittently under the control of a timer. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the application concentration of the drug at a constant level for a long period of time during which the drug is supplied to the diffusion member, and to obtain a stable insect repellent effect.

A diffusing member according to a fourth aspect of the present invention has a plurality of ventilation holes penetrating the front and back sides in a portion other than the leg portions,
Since a part of the medicine sprayed on the lower surface can reach the upper surface side, the medicine can be applied to the bottom surface of the kitchen furniture.

In the diffusion member according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the diffusion space is formed in the central portion of the lower surface in the longitudinal direction, the sprayed drug can be easily diffused in the longitudinal direction.

The diffusing member according to claim 6 of the present invention is one in which an adhesive is applied to the lower surface of the legs of the diffusing material, which facilitates the laying of the diffusing member on the floor surface and kitchen furniture thereon. It is possible to prevent the diffusing member from inadvertently moving when installing.

In the medicine supply device according to the seventh aspect of the present invention, since the medicine can be exchanged and replenished from the inside of the kitchen furniture or the lower front surface of the kitchen furniture, the medicine can be exchanged without moving or moving the kitchen furniture. It can be easily replenished.
