摘要:
This invention expands Nelson's Sub-Rigid Fast-Form Barrier System that it was originally a part of. The system disclosed herein is simple to manufacture and simple to use and promises wide commercial application as the labor costs for concrete construction become increasingly prohibitive. The extraordinary absence of nails, screws, bolts, welds or any other fastening device allows these barriers to compete with many conventional barrier systems and any concrete form system on the market today. The invention addresses eccentric beam loading where barriers must be economically fabricated to withstand liquid concrete pressure in a sub-rigid manner. While providing a lightweight beam with heavy weight strength it is also a goal of this invention to provide a form system that is self-contained, meaning that all fasteners to construct the barrier, ties that hold form barriers together, staging needed to erect the barriers, bolts used to plumb the barriers and brackets available to hoist the barriers are all integral parts of this invention. Another goal disclosed herein are barriers for concrete formwork that are made up of ninety percent standard building products found in any locality in the world. This barrier invention offers rapid erection time that can be accomplished by unskilled labor and result in a quality construction.

The present invention relates to methods for reducing the population of (e.g., killing) arthropods employing compositions including medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid, and to the compositions. The methods include applying a medium chain peroxycarboxylic acid composition to an arthropod or a surface or area suspected of housing an arthropod.

A preferred embodiment rodent trap (100, 200) includes a housing (101, 140, 201, 240), a trap assembly (118, 218), and a removable insert receptacle (120, 220). The trap assembly (118, 218) provides access to a cavity (119, 205) within the housing (101, 140, 201, 240). The removable insert receptacle (120, 220) fits within the cavity (119, 205) proximate the trap assembly (118, 218) to contain a rodent or rodents therein. The removable insert receptacle (120, 220) is preferably made of a non-destructible material to prevent escape. Further, the rodent trap (100) includes a base (101), a cover (140), and climbing assisting members (105). The base (101) has a wall portion (102) including an elevated platform (106). The cover (140) cooperates with the base (101) to define a cavity (119), which contains the elevated platform (106). The climbing assisting members (105) provide access to the elevated platform (106). The trap assembly (118) is operatively connected to the elevated platform (106), which elevates the trap assembly (118) within the cavity (119). The base (101), the cover (140), and the elevated platform (106) assist in preventing contaminants from entering the trap assembly (118) and the cavity (119).

An insect station for luring insects, baiting insects, trapping insects, monitoring insects or any combination of these functions includes a cover that can be moved to provide access to selected insect suppression devices, such as glueboards or baited pads. The insect station may have two changeable pad areas situated facing each other to provide a compact design. In addition, a base portion of the station may have a wall access opening to facilitate applying insecticide behind a wall. The insect station of the present invention may be used with any combination of attractant pads, bait, and glueboards, as well as many other insect suppression devices.
