Abstract
Trapping device for frugivorous insects. The device comprises trapping means and a single diffuser of attractant means arranged inside the trapping means. The diffuser is made up of a container containing inside a support material. This support material, which is of the porous type, is impregnated with a solution comprising a diaminoalkane, ammonium acetate and trimethylamine.
Claims19
A trapping device for frugivorous insects, the device comprising:
- a trapping means and a single diffuser of attractant means arranged inside said trapping means, said diffuser comprising a container, said container defining an interior, said container containing a support material within said interior, said support material being impregnated with a Ceratitis Capitata attractant solution comprising a diaminoalkane, ammonium acetate and trimethylamine, said diaminoalkane being 1,5-diaminopentane.
A trapping device for frugivorous insects, the device comprising:
- a trapping means for trapping insects;
- and
- a single diffuser arranged in an interior space of said trapping means, said diffuser comprising a container, said container defining a container interior space, said container comprising a support material arranged within said container interior space, said support material comprising a Ceratitis Capitata attractant solution, said Ceratitis Capitata attractant solution consisting essentially of a 1,5-diaminopentane, ammonium acetate and trimethylamine, wherein vapor from said Ceratitis Capitata attractant solution diffuses into said trapping means via said single diffuser such that said vapor of said Ceratitis Capitata attractant solution attracts one or more insects into said interior space of said trapping means.
A trapping device for frugivorous insects, the device comprising:
- an insect retaining structure comprising an upper portion and a bottom portion, said upper portion being connected to said bottom portion, said insect retaining structure comprising at least one opening, said upper portion having an upper portion inner surface, said bottom portion having a bottom portion inner surface, said upper portion inner surface and said bottom portion inner surface defining an insect retaining structure chamber, said insect retaining structure chamber being in communication with said at least one opening;
- and
- a single diffuser arranged in said insect retaining structure chamber, said single diffuser comprising an attractant solution retaining structure, said attractant solution retaining structure being composed of a liquid and vapor impermeable material, said attractant solution retaining structure having an interior space, said attractant solution retaining structure comprising a support material arranged in said interior space, said support material comprising a Ceratitis Capitata insect attractant solution comprising 1,5-diaminopentane, ammonium acetate and trimethylamine, said Ceratitis Capitata insect attractant solution being in a liquid state, said attractant solution retaining structure comprising a liquid barrier composed of a vapor permeable and liquid impermeable material, wherein vapor from said Ceratitis Capitata insect attractant solution diffused into said insect retaining structure chamber via said liquid barrier.
