JP5144100B2 - Beast repellent - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a repellent against harmful beasts such as damaging and defeating forest trees and a method of using the same.

  In recent years, wild deer has eaten branches and leaves, and deer and bears have peeled off the trunk and the trees have withered, increasing the impact on forestry. Not only that, but the deer has developed a problem that the whole forest will die without growing new trees because it eats nuts, seedlings and young trees, and it is getting more serious.

  As methods for preventing damage caused by harmful birds and beasts, animal repellent compositions and animal repellent sprays as in Patent Document 1, bird and animal repellent nets as in Patent Document 2, protective materials for food damage protection as in Patent Document 3, and Patent Document 4 In addition, animal repellent paints such as Patent Document 5 have been proposed.

However, the animal repellent composition as disclosed in Patent Document 1 uses an animal repellent component such as capsaicin encapsulated in a microcapsule as a spray or spray, but it does not contain a binder. It cannot be fixed, and the sprayed animal repellent composition may be blown away by the wind or may be washed away by rain, and a continuous repellent effect cannot be expected. The wildlife prevention net such as Patent Document 2 and the protection material for food damage protection such as Patent Document 3 require the installation of a net for each tree and require a lot of labor. There is a problem that the work burden is very large for the population. Animal repellent paints such as Patent Document 4 and Patent Document 5 use a vinyl chloride, acrylic, or urethane polymer as a binder to provide a lasting effect and reduce work burdens. However, the synthetic resin remains in the coated part even after the repellent effect is weakened, which has the disadvantage that it may give a burden to plants and the environment.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, can be used easily with a small work burden, can continuously obtain the effect of preventing damage caused by beasts, and can also avoid problems such as adverse effects on plants and soil contamination. The aim is to provide a beast repellent.

  The inventors of the present invention have reached the present invention as a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems.

The gist of the present invention is as follows.
(1) biodegradable polyester resin, a substance having a beast repellency, Ri name from plasticizers and liquid medium, beast repellents, which is a liquid.
(2) The animal repellent according to (1), wherein the biodegradable polyester resin is a polylactic acid resin.
(3) The animal repellent according to (1) or (2 ), wherein the plasticizer is biodegradable .
(4) The substance according to any one of (1) to (3), wherein the substance having animal repellent properties is at least one selected from capsaicin, menthol, limonene, wood vinegar, bamboo vinegar, and hot pepper Beast repellent.
(5) The animal repellent according to any one of (1) to (4), wherein the liquid medium is water or an aqueous medium .
(6) An animal repellent composition obtained by removing a liquid medium from the animal repellent according to any one of (1) to (5) .

  The veterinary repellent of the present invention only needs to be sprayed around the trees to be protected, or directly applied to the trees themselves.

  The animal repellent of the present invention forms a film at a coated site using a biodegradable resin as a binder, so that a substance having animal repellent properties is not easily blown away by wind or rain, and has a long-term repellent effect. Can be obtained. Further, by blending a plasticizer, flexibility, film-forming property and adhesiveness are improved, and further sustainability can be expected.

  Since the biodegradable resin and the repellent component are used for the animal repellent of the present invention, even if it is left for a long time after spraying or coating the animal repellent, it is decomposed by microorganisms etc. The impact on is small.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

  Examples of biodegradable resins in the present invention include biodegradable polyester resins, polysaccharides such as polyvinyl alcohol, starch and chitosan, proteins such as gelatin, polymalic acid, polyglutamic acid, and polyaspartic acid. Although the kind of biodegradable resin is not limited, generally a biodegradable polyester resin having excellent water resistance is preferred. Examples of biodegradable polyester resins include polylactic acid (L-type and D-type), polyglycolic acid, poly-3-hydroxybutyric acid, poly-4-hydroxybutyric acid, poly-4-hydroxyvaleric acid, and poly-5-hydroxyvalid. Aliphatic polyesters composed of hydroxyalkanoate units such as herbic acid, poly- [epsilon] -caprolactone, poly- [gamma] -propiolactone, and aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 4 to 12 carbon atoms such as polyethylene succinate, polybutylene succinate, polybutylene adipate In addition to an aliphatic polyester comprising an acid component and an aliphatic diol component having 2 to 12 carbon atoms, or a copolymer thereof, an aromatic dicarboxylic acid such as terephthalic acid as long as the biodegradability of the aliphatic polyester is not impaired. Poly (ethylene diadipate / terephthalate), poly (butyrate), copolymerized components Ren adipate / terephthalate) and the like. Said polyester may be used independently and 2 or more types of copolymers or mixtures may be sufficient as it. Above all, for further environmental considerations, polylactic acid derived from plants that does not rely on petroleum raw materials and has a low environmental impact during disposal, or a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing lactic acid and other compounds, or polylactic acid that is a mixture of these. A resin is particularly preferred.

  The polylactic acid resin can be synthesized by a conventionally known method, and the synthesis method is not particularly limited. For example, in the case of polylactic acid, L-lactic acid, D-lactic acid, and DL-lactic acid are directly subjected to dehydration polycondensation. And a method of ring-opening polymerization of lactide, which is a cyclic dimer of lactic acid. Moreover, you may use what is marketed.

  As the substance having the animal repellent property in the present invention, a substance that gives irritation when the animal is stimulated by the smell it emits, or when the animal is biting or biting can be used. For example, natural plant-derived substances include capsaicin, menthol, limonene, creosote, kudin, urushi-derived phenol, naringin, wood vinegar, bamboo vinegar, and hot pepper, and synthetic substances include glycol ethers, methyl salicylate, Naphthalene, sulfur-containing terpenes, polybutene, rubafuran, desodium benzoate, 2-butoxymethanol and the like can be mentioned, and those derived from natural plants are preferable because they have little influence on the global environment. Among them, capsaicin is preferable because it has a strong pungency and can be expected to have a good repellent effect.

  These substances having animal repellent properties may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The blending ratio of these substances having animal repellent properties is not particularly limited, but is 0.1 to 100 parts by weight, preferably 1 to 30 parts by weight, and 3 to 20 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the biodegradable resin. It is particularly preferred that When the ratio of the substance having the animal repellent property to the biodegradable resin is small, the animal repellent effect is insufficient. On the other hand, when it is too much, not only the cost is increased, but also the storage stability of the coating is lowered. In addition, the formed coating film does not have sufficient durability, and long-term effects may not be obtained.

  From the viewpoint of long-term persistence of the repellent effect, the substance having beast repellent properties is preferably microencapsulated. When a substance having animal repellent properties is encapsulated in the microcapsule particles, the substance having repellent properties in the microcapsule particles can be released by applying an external force or the like. Specifically, when an external force is applied due to beast contact, deer or bear skinning, etc., the repellent component in the microcapsule particles is released, exerting the beast repellent effect, and when the external force is not applied by the beast, Since the release of substances having repellent properties is suppressed, a more effective and lasting animal repellent effect can be obtained.

  A method for producing a microcapsule enclosing a substance having animal repellent properties is not particularly limited, and a conventionally known method such as a core solvation method, an interfacial polymerization method, or an in situ method can be used.

  The liquid medium used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and may be an organic solvent or water or a mixture of water and a hydrophilic solvent. Examples of organic solvents include diethyl ketone (3-pentanone), methyl propyl ketone (2-pentanone), methyl isobutyl ketone (4-methyl-2-pentanone), 2-hexanone, 5-methyl-2-hexanone, and 2-to.

  Furthermore, as the liquid medium, it is preferable to use an aqueous medium from the viewpoints of environmental protection, resource saving, dangerous goods regulations by the Fire Service Act, etc., workplace environment improvement, and the like. An aqueous medium is a medium composed of a liquid mainly composed of water. When a solvent other than water is mixed, it is preferable to use a hydrophilic organic solvent. Specific examples of the hydrophilic organic solvent include methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, sec-butanol, tert-butanol, n-amyl alcohol, isoamyl alcohol, sec-amyl alcohol, tert. -Amyl alcohol, 1-ethyl-1-propanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, n-hexanol, cyclohexanol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol monopropyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, etc. Alcohols, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and 1,4-dioxane, ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, methyl acetate, acetic acid-n-propyl, ethyl acetate Esters such as propyl, acetic acid-tert-butyl, methyl propionate, ethyl propionate, dimethyl carbonate, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, diacetone alcohol, acetonitrile, other ammonia, diethylamine, triethylamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine And organic amine compounds such as N, N-dimethylethanolamine, N, N-diethylethanolamine, N-diethanolamine, 3-methoxypropylamine, 3-diethylaminopropylamine, and dimethylaminopropylamine.

  Examples of the state in which the biodegradable resin is contained in the liquid medium include a state in which the biodegradable resin is dissolved in the liquid medium and a state in which the biodegradable resin is dispersed in the liquid medium as fine particles. Depending on the combination of media, any state may be taken, but for reasons of storage stability, ease of handling, environmental protection, etc., the biodegradable resin is dispersed as fine particles in water or an aqueous medium, in particular. An aqueous dispersion state is preferred.

  A method for dispersing the biodegradable resin in the aqueous medium is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a phase inversion emulsification method and a forced emulsification method.
