An Improved Self-Contained Insect Repelling and Killing Apparatus

摘要

An Improved Self-Contained Pyrethrum-Based Insect Repelling and Killing Apparatus for the purpose of dispensing a chemical agent whose function is to detract or alternatively attract and destroy, insects, in particular, flying insects, which serve to detract from human or canine enjoyment of the outdoors, especially in residential surroundings. Similarly, animals such horses and cows and other domesticated livestock are affected, often with deadly consequences, by infestations of these insects. The apparatus consists of a chemical source tank, a means of connecting a fluid source, usually water, a tank for chemical mixing and a pump means for mixing and creating pressure. All chemical tanks and mixing vessels are located inside of an encasement which is protected from outside intrusion. Mixing tank is of such size to eliminate any chance of chemical mixture separation and chemical mixture is agitated prior to each dispensing cycle. Fluid is disbursed under pressure through a series of narrow apertures fluid dispensing devices, interconnected to the apparatus through a flexible plastic delivery conduit. The Apparatus functions are controlled through the use of an attached electronic interface whose purpose is to effectively meter, sense and control apparatus functions. Preferred agent used is pyrethrum based, naturally occurring or synthesized, which possesses an antagonistic effect toward targeted pests but apparatus is designed to be adaptable to a wide range of natural or synthesized chemicals.
