Embodiment Construction

[0040] A crawling insect barrier according to the present invention comprises a combination of elements that create a natural physical barrier to ants and other crawling insects. The obstacle use structure of the present invention is preferably similar to downy feathers (ie downy fluffy feathers). The downy structure is feather-like, light in weight, durable, matte, soft, and has many minute soft filaments and many branches. The filaments can be difficult for some larger ants and other crawling insects to grasp, while smaller ants and insects simply get lost, or fail to lay a chemical trail. The fluffy structure has a size between 2cm and 12cm (about 10cm on average). The fleece structure is attached and preferably needle and thread sewn to a base member (eg, an elastic or other string or cord, or on a surface of an elongated tape or sheet). The downy structures are preferably tightly packed to form a barrier that crawling insects are less able to penetrate. In other words,...

Abstract

A crawling insect barrier in which the combination of elements functions as a natural device to prevent ants or other crawling insects from accessing a table, cabinet, storage bin, structure, or any area wherein crawling insect infestation is undesirable. In one embodiment, a feather ring comprises a string (elastic or fixed length) to which natural feathers of various sizes and shapes are fastened, to thereby create a natural barrier or boundary that prevents crawling insects from crossing, and thus inhibiting the insects' ability to carry food, mark a path, build a nest, or infest an area. In another embodiment, a band or strap is used as the underlying surface on which the feathers are attached. If the string, band or strap is not elastic, the crawling insect barrier can be attached with adhesive or some other conventional fastener. The invention also includes a corresponding method of making the natural crawling barrier.

Description

[0001] This application is based on 35 U.S.C. §119(e) requirements of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 926,291 filed April 26, 2007, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 949,749 filed July 13, 2007, and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 972,726, filed September 14, 2007. The entire contents of each of the foregoing applications are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to devices and methods for creating a barrier to deter infestation by crawling insects, especially ants. Background technique [0003] Various techniques are known to be used to deter ant and other crawling insect infestations, including chemical sprays from cans, and chemical chalks, glues, foams or substances, etc. Kill them when passing an obstacle. When the house is built, the entire build site is injected with chemicals to kill any surrounding insects that may come for years. Said chemicals can cling to groundwat...
