Claim 0:
1. An insect eradicator having an elongated shaft for insertion into an insect nest, comprising:
(a) a main shaft having a main body on a proximate end thereof and a clamshell on a distal end thereof, said main shaft having a bore therein;
(b) said main body having a hand grip for being grasped by a hand of a user and a lever being pivotally attached thereto;
(c) a source of pressurized gas disposed on said main shaft and a gas tube extending from said source of pressurized gas through said bore to a point proximate said clamshell;
(d) said clamshell having opposing first and second halves pivoting between a closed position for insertion into the insect nest and an open position for releasing said pressurized gas into the insect nest;
(e) wherein said lever has an open position wherein said clamshell is closed, an intermediate position wherein said clamshell is opened and said source of pressurized gas is closed, and a fully depressed position wherein said pressurized gas is released into the insect nest;
(f) an actuator rod extending through said bore having first and second ends, wherein said first end is adapted for contacting said lever and said second end extends to said clamshell for urging said first and second halves into said open position when said lever is in said intermediate position; and
(g) wherein said pressurized gas is released into the insect nest when said lever is in said fully depressed position and said clamshell is open.
