Abstract: A programmable, wide area insecticide (or other airborne chemical agent) dispensing system and method is disclosed in which a supply of a fluid insecticide is maintained and delivered under pressure to one or more spray heads which may be located remotely from the supply, as for example in various locations within a warehouse, dairy barn, or the like. A programmable controller effects the dispensing of the insecticide from the selected spray heads at predetermined times and in predetermined amounts so as to effectively control insects at various areas of the building at various times of the day so as to avoid indiscriminate spraying of the insecticide when it is not needed, or when it may interfere with activities within the building.
