Insect-Control Patch

Номер: US20120210630A1
Принадлежит: Dead Bug Ventures LLC

Apparatus and methods for controlling insects. Some embodiments provide apparatus (for instance patches) comprising one or more layers of degradable materials impregnated with respective insect-control materials. A first impregnated layer defines an effective thickness and degrades at a rate dependent on an environmental factor to thereby expose a portion of the insect-control material impregnated therein at a depth corresponding to the decreased thickness. As the first degradable layer degrades in a multi-layer insect-control patch it also exposes the second layer (which is attached to the first layer) at a rate corresponding to the degradation of the first layer. A barrier impervious to the second insect-control material can be attached to the second layer. In some embodiments the first and second degradable materials are the same material and the second impregnated layer is formed on the first impregnated layer thereby bonding them together.

Disclosed is a pet grooming and pest killing device that comprises a handled comb having a working end comprising a plurality of comb tooth electrodes powered by a battery power supply within the handle of the device. The comb teeth employ an alternating configuration wherein adjacent teeth employ opposing polarity and the tips of the teeth are shrouded by a protective insulator. The spacing of the teeth is such that a tick or flea will become trapped between two teeth, allowing current to flow from one electrode to another through the pest and thus killing it upon contact. The ends of the teeth are insulated to prevent shocking of the pet during the combing process. In this way, pet hair can be tended to while also killing loose ticks, fleas and other pests within the pet's hair while grooming.

The pad is a safe alternative to trim claws over cutting them with dangerous clips that can potentially cut into blood vessels and/or nerves beneath the claw, or the noisy motorized trimmers that are found to cause trauma to animals by frightening them. 1-The filing pad comprising of an abrasive front side is used for the purpose of safely filing a dog claw.2-It can be conveniently placed and removed from any gate or clean flat surface. Very excited or nervous pets often scratch and hurt one's skin when innocently vying for attention or playing. As well as ruining expensive flooring, carpets, doors and furniture. Not maintaining a dog's claws could not only lead to the previously described destruction, but could also cause health problems for the animal. Such as ingrown nails, split nails, paw and joint problems. The current home motorized rotary sanders just cause more trauma to the dog by scaring them immensely. And with clippers most pet owners are aware that there are blood vessels and nerves that supply the nail, called the quick, that are inside of each dog claw that could easily cause injury if cut. Because of this danger or the simple fact that trimming these claws at home is just too troublesome, owners resort paying to have this done professionally. Even when paying to have it done, the groomer may resort to sedating the animal to complete the job.To alleviate all the problems associated with trimming dog nails both in home and professionally, this invention allows the pet to simply trim their own claws by simply installing the invention anywhere the dog scratches repeatedly. It can be easily hung on a pet gate or even attached to a door or wall and removed when needed. The additional advantage is that there is no need for a pet owner to ...
