Abstract:
1. A mosquito and insect control system comprising: a container for containing a liquid insecticide, a fill tube connected thereto; a sight class engaged with the container for determining the insecticide level therein; a first float and a second float within the container; the first float operable to detect a first low level of insecticide condition within the container tank and visually indicate said first low level condition; the second float operable to detect a second low level of insecticide condition within the container tank and to de-energize the pump upon said second low level condition; a distribution system for delivering liquid insecticide from the container to a plurality of remote locations; a pump in operable engagement with the distribution system for pumping the liquid insecticide from the container to the plurality of remote locations; a programmable digital timer for controlling the pump operable to energize and de-energize the pump for a pre-selected duration of time at a pre-selected time; a handheld wireless remote control unit to manually energize and de-energize the pump from a remote location; a hardwired remote control unit to manually energize and de-energize the pump from a remote location; and nozzles at the removed end of the distribution system to direct the spray of insecticide, the nozzles being atomizing nozzles comprised of a stainless steel housing, a non-corrosive, bronze fine-mesh filter, and a check valve to reduce or prevent dripping at the termination of a spray interval; a pressure gauge to monitor the pressure of the insecticide within the distribution system; an anemometer to measure wind speed in the spray area of the insect control system and de-energize the pump when wind speed exceeds a determined limit; a rain gauge to measure rainfall amounts and de-energize the pump when rainfall exceeds a determined limit; a programmable external control panel in communicative contact with the programmable digital timer; and an automatic telephone dialer in communicative contact with a telephone circuit.
