    [0002]
    [0003]
    [0004] Field of the Invention
    [0005]
    [0006] The present invention belongs to the technical field of entomology, specifically to flying insects of social typology, and more specifically to the means for the control and elimination of said insects.
    [0007]
    [0008] Background of the Invention
    [0009]
    [0010] Despite the great importance for the environment and the ecological balance of certain flying insects of social typology, such as wasps, the great proliferation of these in certain environments can be detrimental to certain species, including other insects, such as bees, or even for humans, due to the danger of bites, especially for allergy sufferers.
    [0011]
    [0012] Wasps are social insects that live in communities made up of hundreds and even thousands of individuals in their nest, or wasps' nest. The wasps increase in size as their population increases, mainly in summer, and are usually located in trees, bushes and sometimes underground. These wasps usually have a single entrance and at night all the wasps are in it.
    [0013]
    [0014] Currently, certain methods are known for destroying wasps that affect populated areas, such as burning the hornet's nest, or trying to flood it with water. Alternatively, wasps are often chased away with smoke. All these systems present the problem that they are not totally efficient and they also need proximity to the hornet's nest to use them, which puts the safety of the operator at risk, and the need for expensive protective equipment to avoid serious crowd risks. from wasp stings. Furthermore, these systems generate remains and debris such as smoke and different burned substances, harmful to the hornet's nest.
    [0015] Another of the solutions currently used is the use of insecticides, which present the problem of being highly toxic both for other species of animals, for plants and for humans.
    [0016]
    [0017] As an alternative solution to the above, document FR3025978A1 shows a device to reduce the population of Asian hornets, which has an adhesive layer, a waterproof layer and an insecticide support. This device is designed to be placed on the hornet's back, and acts by contact, ingestion, or inhalation of other hornets. This system presents the problem that the insect is destabilized by the weight and cannot fly, and the insecticide cannot be transported to the hornet's nest. In addition, with the device configuration, the insecticide is exposed, and can contact insects or other unwanted animals or plants, plus it will probably come off the road and not reach the hornet's nest to act there.
    [0018]
    [0019] Therefore, a system for the elimination of wasps and other harmful flying insects in certain environments by means of a chemical dispenser is desirable, avoiding the drawbacks existing in the prior art systems.
    [0020]
    [0021] Description of the Invention
    [0022]
    [0023] The present invention solves the problems existing in the state of the art by means of a delayed release chemical substance dispenser for the elimination of flying insects of social type, such as wasps.
    [0024]
    [0025] The dispenser has a capsule or tablet that stores and releases a chemical substance housed within it, and means retarding the release of the chemical, so that the chemical is not released immediately, but after a time, once the insect has flown to its nest, hornet's nest in the case of wasps. This will ensure the release of the substance inside the hornet's nest, thus affecting the entire hornet's population. The dispenser additionally has fastening means for attaching the capsule to the insect, in particular to the wasp.
    [0026] The retarding means have a stopper in the capsule, which is made of a moistened material configured to maintain a certain volume, closing the capsule by means of said volume and thus preventing the exit of the chemical substance housed inside it while it remains moistened. In addition, the material of the stopper is configured to decrease in volume when drying, so that the capsule opens, thus allowing the chemical substance to escape from it. Thus, the present dispenser is intended to be hung on the wasps after capturing them during the day, and to activate at night once the wasps have returned to the wasp nest, causing the collapse of the entire community.
    [0027]
    [0028] In this way, the capsule with the chemical substance is attached to the wasp by the holding means, and released at dusk. The wasp flies to its nest or hornet's nest to spend the night with the rest of the swarm. The capsule stopper made of a hydrated material keeps the capsule closed while maintaining its humidity level. After a few hours, while the wasp is inside the hornet's nest, the cap dries and when it loses volume, it is released, opening the capsule and releasing the chemical inside the hornet's nest, causing the desired effect. depending on the chemical used, thus achieving the elimination of the hornet's nest population.
    [0029]
    [0030] The chemical can be biocide, insecticide, pheromone, among others, as well as any other substance that significantly affects the wasp population from inside the hornet's nest.
    [0031]
    [0032] Preferably, the holding means of the dispenser are such that they hold the capsule hanging under the insect.
    [0033]
    [0034] Furthermore, according to different particular embodiments of the invention, the fastening means can have filaments, elastic elements, hooks, clips, adhesive means and a combination of all of the above.
    [0035]
    [0036] This dispenser has numerous advantages compared to the means known from the state of the art. In the first place, it is not necessary to know the situation of the hornet's nest to be able to destroy it, since the wasps will be in charge of carrying the substance to it. From a single point you can treat an area of about a kilometer around, since this is the approximate distance that wasps usually move away from their nest. Thus, following a suitable strategy, the dispenser object of the present invention has the potential to eradicate the desired species from a given area, unlike the systems existing in the state of the art, which only manage to slow down the advance of the population of limited form.
    [0037]
    [0038] In addition, wasps can carry up to 80% of their weight, so any type of chemical that is useful in the fight against wasps can be used, in fairly high quantities.
    [0039]
    [0040] By means of the present dispenser the attack is very selective against the desired species, when attacking from inside the nest. In addition, the dispenser is environmentally friendly as it minimizes the amount of product to use.
    [0041]
    [0042] Brief description of the drawings
    [0043]
    [0044] In the following, to facilitate understanding of the invention, by way of illustration but not limitation, an embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to a series of figures.
    [0045]
    [0046] Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the chemical substance dispenser object of the present invention.
    [0047]
    [0048] Figure 2 shows the dispenser of figure 1 attached to a wasp.
    [0049]
    [0050] Figures 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d show four examples of embodiments of the dispenser object of the invention with different holding means.
    [0051]
    [0052] In these figures reference is made to a set of elements that are:
    [0053] 1. dispenser
    [0054] 2. capsule
    [0055] 3. chemical
    [0056] 4. holding means
    [0057] 5. insect
    [0058] 6. capsule base
    [0059] 7. stopper
    [0060] 8. filaments
    [0061] 9. elastic elements

    [0063]
    [0064] Detailed description of the invention
    [0065]
    [0066] The object of the present invention is a dispenser 1 of chemical substance 3 of delayed release, for the elimination of 5 social type flying insects.
    [0067]
    [0068] As can be seen in the figures, the dispenser 1 has a capsule 2 or tablet that it stores therein to subsequently release a chemical 3, together with means for delaying the release of the chemical 3, which act so that the Chemical 3 is not released immediately, but after a time, once insect 5 has returned to its nest, wasp in the case of wasps. Thus, the release of chemical 3 will take place inside the hornet's nest, thus affecting the entire hornet's population. This delay in the release of the chemical is up to several hours, to ensure that insect 5 reaches its nest. The dispenser 1 additionally has fastening means for attaching the capsule 2 to the insect 5.
    [0069]
    [0070] In the present invention the retarding means have a stopper 7 in the capsule 2, preferably in the lower part of the capsule 2, although it can be arranged in any other position. This stopper 7 is made of a moistened material configured to maintain a certain volume by closing the capsule 2 by means of said volume, and thus preventing the exit of the chemical 3 housed inside it while it remains moistened. Furthermore, the material of the stopper 7 is configured to decrease in volume when it dries, so that the capsule 2 opens, thus allowing the chemical substance 3 to escape from it. In this way, the dispenser can be attached to a wasp after it has been captured, and released later to return to its nest. On the way back to the hornet's nest, while the stopper 7 remains wet, it will close the capsule, preventing the chemical from escaping. Over time, once the wasp 5 has returned to its nest, the material of the plug 7 will dry up, and thereby decrease of volume. This will cause capsule 2 to open, releasing the chemical that it contained inside the hornet's nest, affecting the entire hornet's population.
    [0071]
    [0072] Chemical 3 can be a biocide, insecticide, pheromone, among others, as well as any other that can significantly eliminate the wasp population 5 from inside the hornet's nest.
    [0073]
    [0074] Preferably, the holding means 4 of the dispenser 1 support the capsule 2 hanging under the insect 5, as can be seen in figure 2.
    [0075]
    [0076] Furthermore, according to different particular embodiments of the invention shown in Figures 3a-3d, the fastening means 4 can have filaments 8, elastic elements 9, clamps, adhesive means and a combination of all of the above. Preferably, as can be seen in figure 3d, the fastening means 4 have elastic hooks 10, which can be deformed and recover their original shape to adapt to the body of the insect 5.
