Abstract

A process and apparatus for applying pest control particulates. The apparatus of the present invention comprises a duster including a bulb reservoir, charged with pest control particulate, and having an orifice closed by a releasably attachable cap. The cap is provided with an outlet communicating with a flexible conduit having a distal end with a rigid plastic tube. The distal end may be held stationary and trained on a target area while the bulb reservoir may be alternately reoriented, as the bulb is compressed, for controlled application of the pest control particulate. The invention also includes a vacuum cleaner operating in blower mode and blower hose assembly having a coupling port. The vacuum cleaner may be operated to induce a high speed air flow and the flexible conduit of the duster may be connected to the coupling port for entraining pest control particulate into the high speed air flow for greater range dispensing of the pest control particulate.
