A delivery system embedded trap device for attracting female and male fruit flies can attract both female and male of fruit flies for an extended period of typically at least 180 days, irrespective of the season, thereby effectively controlling the major pest in agriculture.
Claims20
A delivery system embedded trap device comprising:
- a top cover and a bottom cover operatively connect to each other to form a spherical shape collectively forming an outer shape of the delivery system embedded trap device, the top cover and the bottom cover defining an interior space;
- one or more first openings formed in at least one of the top cover or the bottom cover, the one or more first openings providing access to the interior space;
- a lure reservoir attached to a second opening in a top of the top cover, the lure reservoir configured to hold a lure or attractant formulation;
- a control release knob connected to the lure reservoir for releasing an amount of the lure or attractant formulation from the lure reservoir;
- a spacing adjuster extending downward, at a proximate end thereof, from the second opening in the top cover that receives the lure reservoir, to provide an open interior space through which the lure or attractant formulation released from the control release knob moves;
- and
- a circular-pyramid disposed at a distal end of the spacing adjuster;
- and
- a sphere-shaped insect attractant connected to the circular pyramid and to the distal end of the spacing adjuster, the sphere-shaped insect attractant disposed below the control release knob.
