  • Patent number: 9686974
    Abstract: An injection apparatus for treating soil adjacent a structure has a handle and a manifold head attached to the handle. The manifold head has at least one inlet and at least one internal passage in fluid communication with the at least one inlet. A high pressure nozzle is in fluid communication with the at least one internal passage in the manifold head and is adapted for emitting a discharge stream of pesticide for subsurface injection of the pesticide. A low pressure nozzle is provided for applying a pesticide to the surface. The manifold head has a substantially planar contact member having a contact surface for contact with the surface beneath which the pesticide is applied. The contact member has a first opening in the contact surface in fluid communication with the high pressure nozzle and a second opening in the contact surface in fluid communication with the low pressure nozzle.

  • Patent number: 8656847
    Abstract: An injection apparatus for treating soil adjacent a structure includes a handle and a manifold head connected to the handle. The manifold head has a first high pressure nozzle, a second high pressure nozzle, and a contact member having at least one opening therein. The contact member is configured to rest on the ground surface during operation of the injection apparatus. The first high pressure nozzle is adapted for emitting a discharge stream of pesticide through the at least one opening in the contact member for injection of the pesticide into the soil. The discharge stream from the first high pressure nozzle is emitted in a first direction. The second high pressure nozzle is adapted for emitting a discharge stream of pesticide through the at least one opening in the contact member for injection of the pesticide into the soil.
