PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pest control apparatus that efficiently guide a creep pest to an inside of a container.SOLUTION: The pest control apparatus 10 includes an opening 16 to which the creep pest enters provided at a peripheral wall of a container 14 in which an agent 12 is stored. A guide member 18 is provided at the opening 16 as a barrier for disturbing travelling of the pest. The guide member 18, as viewed in a plane, is projected outward than an outline of the container 14 and does not contact with the peripheral walls 20 of the container of both sides of the opening 16. A passage of which the creep pest enters is formed between the peripheral walls 20 of the container.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】匍匐害虫を容器内に効率よく導くことができる害虫防除器を提供すること。【解決手段】薬剤12を収容する容器14の周壁に、匍匐害虫の進入口となる開口部16を有する害虫防除器10は、開口部16に匍匐害虫の進行の障壁となるガイド部材18が設けられ、ガイド部材18は、平面視で、容器14の輪郭よりも外方に突出し、開口部16の両側の容器周壁20と非接触であり、容器周壁20との間に匍匐害虫が進入するための通路が形成されている。【選択図】図2
