  • Apparatus for applying pesticides to livestock
    Patent number: 4748939
    Abstract: A device is described for applying pesticide to livestock which includes a vertical cylindrical reservoir and a wick positioning assembly. Wicks extend from the reservoir up through the wick positioning assembly and dangle down outside the reservoir to a level low enough so that they can brush against livestock walking beneath the device. When a liquid pesticide composition is placed in the reservoir, wicking action will carry the pesticide through the wicks and apply it to the livestock as they contact the wicks.
