Abstract: A device for safely exterminating and removing insects and their nests includes a mesh basket supported on the distal end of a telescopically extendable pole. The basket is structured to partially collapse and includes a rubber gasket around an open top for sealed engagement against the surface surrounding the nest, thereby effectively containing the nest and capturing flying and crawling insects in the basket. A pressurized canister containing a chemical substance snaps into operable position on the pole, near the basket. A handle on the proximal end of the pole includes a trigger for actuating release of the chemical substance from the pressurized canister and towards the nest, thereby killing the captured insects. A blade supported within the basket enables removal of the nest from the surface after all of the insects have been exterminated. A splash shield removably attaches to the pole, below the basket, to protect the user from the chemical sprayed on the nest.
