Abstract

We have constructed a novel trap experimentally utilizing the behavior of the poultry red mite and compared with precedent other traps in abroad. Firstly, we prepared two types of trap, “nonparallel-board trap” as a novel trap and “parallel-board trap”, and we compared the rate of collected mites. Each trap was constituted of overlapping two boards, “nonparallel-board trap” was one side of two boards connected, and “parallel-board trap” was set two boards paralleled. As a result of the comparison, the rate of mites collected by “nonparallel-board trap” was more than “parallel-board trap”. On the next investigation, we have compared some “nonparallel-board trap” made of cedar, Japanese cypress, bamboo and polyvinyl chloride for a consideration of appropriate material. The mites were collected by cedar and Japanese cypress more than others, and the statistical significance was recognized in this comparison. Moreover, in the latest investigation, the number of mites collected by this “nonparallel-board trap” made of cider was significantly more than corrugated cardboard and thick card traps previously reported. Therefore, the novel “nonparallel-board trap” might capture the mites efficiently, and it is assumed that the trap is a utilized tool for monitoring and exterminating in the poultry farm, revealing ecology of the mites.
