  • Patent number: 7044401
    Abstract: A system is provided for distributing pesticide into the interior walls of a building includes an injection port in a wall of a building, connected to a manifold to which a large number of flexible tubing members, having discharge openings spaced along the length of the tubing members, are attached. The system may include a wheeled vehicle with separate vessels containing pesticide and inert gas under pressure connected to an injection gun. A flow meter is electrically connected to a data processor which records and prints information with respect to the amount of pesticide distributed into the wall. In a preferred embodiment, a device which emits an audible signal is attached at downstream portions of the tubing members to enable service personnel inside the building to confirm that fluid is indeed passing through each of the tubing members.

  • Patent number: 5231796
    Abstract: An integrated pesticide applicating system utilizes lengths of small diameter closed end flexible tubing with periodically spaced perforations having open ends terminating at junction boxes which are serviced on a periodic basis by certified pest control technicians utilizing expanding chemicals that are administered in measured quantities to provide a residual pest control block in concealed areas of a building. Externally mounted junction boxes provide a pest control method in which the chemicals can be applied without the necessity of access to the interior of the building by the servicing technician. Tubing perforations are preferably conically shaped.
