  • Patent number: 8296993
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an ultrasonic repellent humidifier for dispersing insect repellant into the air as a micro fine repellent vapor. A repellent tank provides rhodinol and cedarwood oil based repellent to a repellent well. An ultrasonic transducer is positioned in the well beneath the level of the repellent. It vibrates, forming a repellant vapor that is drawn into a vapor duct by a forced air system and out of the unit, dispersing the repellent vapor into the surrounding air. The vibrating portion of the ultrasonic transducer that is exposed to the oil-based repellent is a ceramic material that inhibits residue from forming on the transducer that reduces its efficiency. The ceramic material may be formed on the metal case of the transducer or on the piezoelectric oscillation crystal, or it may be a separately replaceable disc.

  • Publication number: 20080067263
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for safely and for efficient controlling adult populations of flying pests. A self-contained reservoir system for automated misting of pesticides (as opposed to merely spraying) is disclosed which can be operated in remote location without the availability of line power or pressurized water. The present automated spraying system comprises a secure controller unit with locking features, and a plurality of dispersing elements attached to the unit. Enclosed within the weatherproof and secure enclosure of the unit is a controller, pump, pesticide reservoir and power source for delivering controlled amounts of a pesticide mixture to the dispersing elements. The pump is capable of producing pressures sufficient for producing a mist from the dispersing elements. The pesticide reservoir holds pre-measured and premixed pesticide that can be used for direct treatment of an area. A misting schedule is entered into the controller, or timer.
