  • Publication number: 20140312142
    Abstract: An insecticide delivery system for delivering insecticide or other liquids through either stationary or portable misting or by spot spraying. A delivery system includes a liquid reservoir, a fluid misting pump to flow insecticide liquid to installed misting nozzles and a fluid spraying pump to flow insecticide liquid to a spraying wand.

  • Patent number: 7295898
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for insect control by delivery of fluids combined from different sources is disclosed, wherein a first fluid is provided in a cartridge configured with a first fluid coupling and a first wireless transmitter (FWT), and a second fluid, or diluent, is supplied to form a mixture for distribution or spraying. The FWT is programmable with data identifying the composition and volume of the liquid in the cartridge and able to contain data of withdrawal of fluid or pump cycles. An interrogator or second wireless transmitter (SWT) communicates with the FTW to control the fluid withdrawal and mixing process. In addition, the combination of the cartridge identification and the coupling design restrict introduction of improper materials into the system, and potentially to an inhabited area.

  • Patent number: 7090147
    Abstract: A mosquito misting system is described having a liquid reservoir that is operably associated with a fluid pump and motor and fluid conduits to transmit a fluid insecticide to one or more dispersal nozzles. A controller is used to control the frequency and duration of dispersal. An agitator device is preferably associated with the fluid reservoir to adequately agitate the insecticide mixture within the reservoir during or just prior to dispersal of the fluid insecticide. The controller is interconnected with a level sensor assembly to provide a graphic indication of the level of fluid insecticide remaining in the reservoir. Additionally, the misting system is provided with a fluid pressure switch that detects a rupture in the fluid conduit and prevents further flow of fluid from the reservoir. In further aspects, the system is provided with remote control and, optionally, a remote monitoring feature that allows improved service and maintenance for the system.
