Abstract:
A pesticide injection system in combination with a structure, the structure having an exterior facing, the pesticide injection system comprising:a tubular conduit disposed adjacent an interior side of the exterior facing of the structure, the tubular conduit having a sidewall, a first end, a second end, and a plurality of tortuous pores extending through the sidewall of the tubular conduit, the tubular conduit constructed of an elastomeric material such that upon applying a positive internal pressure to the tubular conduit by the injection of pressurized pesticide into the tubular conduit the tortuous pores of the tubular conduit are caused to open to permit the release of pesticide from the tubular conduit adjacent the interior side of the exterior facing and upon removal of the positive internal pressure the tortuous pores are caused to close so that the tortuous pores remain substantially clog free; and a connector member attached to at least one of the first and second ends of the tubular conduit and detachably connectable to a source of pressurized pesticide such that pesticide may be selectively injected adjacent the interior side of the exterior facing of the structure to form a barrier against the infestation of pests into the structure.
