Abstract:
A pesticide application system for dispensing a pressurized fluid pesticide within a hollow wall, comprising:a hollow wall, the hollow wall having an interior cavity; an anchor conduit anchoring the pesticide application system relative to the hollow wall and providing a fluid pesticide conduit for conveying a pressurized fluid pesticide from an outside surface of the hollow wall into the interior cavity of the hollow wall; the anchor conduit being anchored in a hole of the hollow wall, which passes from the outside surface of the hollow wall into the interior cavity of the hollow wall; the anchor conduit having an annular flange in contact with the outside surface of the hollow wall; the anchor conduit being directly secured to the hollow wall solely by means on the anchor conduit that is embedded into wallboard of the hollow wall surrounding the hole; a dispensing tube within the cavity of the hollow wall for dispensing a pressurized fluid pesticide from the pesticide application system into the internal cavity of the hollow wall; the dispensing tube having an external diameter less than the internal diameter of the hole in the hollow wall so that the dispensing tube can be fed into the internal cavity of the hollow wall through the hole; the dispensing tube being flexible for bending the dispensing tube to position the dispensing tube within the cavity of the hollow wall and to enable the dispensing tube to pass around obstructions within the cavity of the hollow wall; the dispensing tube being at least three feet in length; the dispensing tube having a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart openings along the length of the dispensing tube for dispensing a pressurized fluid pesticide; the openings along the length of the dispensing tube being arranged to dispense a pressurized fluid pesticide from the dispensing tube in a substantially 360Â° pattern perpendicular to a longitudinal centerline of the dispensing tube; and the anchor conduit having a first end that is accessible on an outside surface of the hollow wall; the first end of the anchor conduit having an opening for connecting the pesticide application system to a pressurized fluid pesticide dispensing means; the anchor conduit having a second end that extends into the hollow wall; and the dispensing tube being mounted on the second end of the anchor conduit.
