TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to compressing organisms. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a device and a method for trapping and compressing organisms.

BACKGROUND

According to the American Mosquito Control Association, “Blood sucking organisms such as mosquito cause more suffering to mankind than other organism. Over one million people worldwide die from mosquito-borne diseases every year. Not only can mosquitoes carry diseases that afflict humans, but also transmit several diseases and parasites that dogs and horses are susceptible to. In addition, mosquito bites can also cause severe skin irritation through an allergic reaction to the mosquito's saliva — this is what causes the red bump and itching.

Generally, the commercially available mosquito traps attract the mosquitoes closer to the wavelength of the external light. In the path, the mosquito body is killed by the short circuit of the high voltage power grid. Although it has certain effects, it still has the following disadvantages: - due to the use of ultraviolet light for the long waveform about the nanometer, when the distance of the mosquito trap from the human body is 5 feet, the device may cause eye/ retinal injury, and the skin injury may lead to skin cancer after long-term exposure.

Furthermore, the high-voltage power grid for mosquito trapping is easy to cause significant harm like electric shock, to the limbs, especially to the children. "In the early days, the above- mentioned ultraviolet light was used as an inducer. After entering, the mosquito was trapped in the inside of a net body by means of fan pressurization. After the fan stopped working, the mosquito may escape in the opposite direction. Recently, photocatalysts use their specific light waves to make carbonization in the attracting substances. In the process, they must be operated by voltage strikes and fan turbulence. The repair uses the light source to attract mosquitoes nearby and is formed by grid strike and fan current collection.

Resistance to chemical methods and non-biological methods of vector elimination has failed to solve the menace of mosquitoes. Present biological methods are deficient/not very effective or costly and has environmental consequences. Multiple devices have been developed to trap bloodsucking vectors like mosquitoes. The mosquitoes develop ability to resist the traps before the device get commercialized and leads to failure and discarding the technology. The advantages of understanding the mechanism of host detection by the blood sucking mosquitoes is multifold. Those mosquitoes which have weak mechanisms will perish due to natural causes. Those with strong mechanisms for host detection will be caught in the trap. This provides a dual mechanism for prevention of resistance while being effective for mosquito elimination.

Various methods were tried to attract the mosquitoes and more yet to be studied. Although, plenty of methods need to be exercised and require a precise mechanism to attract these annoying blood suckers. Even though it should be kept in mind that the development of the male and female mosquitoes trap or say attractants needs to be devised. The methods described in the prior arts failed to give a desirable outcome, none of them were hundred percent efficient and majority of them developed resistance leading to failure of the technology. Mosquitoes are attracted to the CO2 therefore, the more CO2 humans release, the easier humans become the targets.

In a prior art, USO075A which discloses a collapsible mosquito trap for collecting samples of mosquitoes for the study of population density, and the study of diseases present in the mosquitoes. The collapsible mosquito trap comprises a disc, a light source and holder attached to the disc, a collapsible waterproof chamber having top and bottom openings, a pervious netting cylinder and a rigid impervious container. The mosquito trap is adapted to capture mosquitoes and let the larger beetles and flying insect’s escape.

In one of the closest art, US’9296B1 which discloses an insect trap that utilizes a combustion chamber to produce carbon dioxide for an attractant. Combustion gases from the combustion chamber are cooled in a conduit for the trap inlet. Thus, a single fan may be used for both drawing insects into the insect trap and for cooling the combustion chamber. The invention further discloses an insect trap comprising a conduit for the entry of insects and including a trap entry; a fan for drawing air through the conduit; a combustion chamber having an outlet in fluid communication with an attractant outlet. Unlike female mosquitoes, the males are not lured by CO2 or body odour, hence a better approach is required. Different mosquitoes respond differently to various body odour, a particular odour will stop working as the mosquitoes will get resistant or the group will change with time and the traps will stop working. Natural selection will allow the population which is resistant to the odour will continue to grow in numbers and eventually replace the population. Thus, leading to the failure of these traps. For continued success they require repeated change in the odour.

LED based mosquito trap lamp combined with liquid mosquito bait are commercially available in the market. The mosquito lamp employs visible light LED with filters filtrated visible light LED for emitting UV lights. The mosquito trap lamp, which uses the piezoelectric vibrator for assisting the emanation of the mosquito bait(s) and for enhancing the efficiency of mosquito attraction. The mosquito trap lamp apparatus, including at least a casing, a lid, a LED light set, a bait-drawing means, a bait-releasing unit, a power supply and a mosquito destroying device. However, this method is not preferable as it can’t give an enhancing result as it employs an expensive methodology. In addition, the vibrations are not reflective of blood flowing through the capillaries and arteries and thus make it inferior to the current invention.

In another prior art, which is pertaining to an insect trap, more particularly for collecting arthropods, for example ticks. The device comprises a container, an attractant, a base, and adhesive tape or strip attached to the top of the base. Arthropods are directed towards the tape by an attractant whereby the insects are stuck to the adhesive surface on their dorsal side. The adhesive surface may be oriented to maximally trap insects, such as facing the adhesive towards the walls of the attractant container rather than towards the ground. The said attractant is a source of CO2. Even with the presence of mosquito traps, mosquitoes preferentially go to human target, as multiple aspects of mosquito’s physiology are unknown at this time.

The aforementioned prior arts discuss different devices and techniques for trapping or catching the mosquitoes. These techniques mostly stress on the mosquito traps and attractants. In the methods and techniques for trapping mosquitoes and blocking their survival known in the above prior arts, it is disadvantageous that even with the presence of mosquito traps, mosquitoes preferentially go to human targets. The above devices don't aid in controlling the continuously growing population of lethal mosquitoes that may spread diseases.
