Abstract
A flying insect repellant system includes a duct system, a blower, and a plurality of delivery mechanisms. The duct system has an intake end and a least one exhaust end for the delivery of air. The blower is connected to the intake end of the duct system. A plurality of delivery mechanisms, conjunctively defining a perimeter, each delivery mechanism having at least one orifice being connected to one of said exhaust ends, each said delivery mechanism having an airflow emanating therefrom traveling greater than approximately 1½ miles per hour.
Claims17
A flying insect repellant system, comprising:
- a duct system with an intake end and at least one exhaust end for the delivery of air;
- a blower connected to said intake end;
- and
- a plurality of delivery mechanisms, conjunctively defining a perimeter, each said delivery mechanism having at least one orifice and being connected to one of said exhaust ends, each said delivery mechanism having an airflow emanating therefrom traveling greater than approximately 1½ miles per hour.
A method of excluding flying insects from an area using directed airflow, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a blower, duct system, coupled to said blower and a plurality of delivery mechanisms coupled to said duct system and conjunctively defining a perimeter;
- generating an airflow in said duct system, with said blower;
- distributing the airflow through said duct system and into said plurality of delivery mechanisms;
- and
- directing a portion of said airflow through each said delivery mechanism, thereby creating an external airflow of greater than approximately 1½ miles per hour.
A modular insect repellant system, comprising:
- a plurality of boundary defining elements, each of said plurality of boundary defining elements further comprising:
- at least one structural member;
- at least one nozzle assembly connected to at least one said structural member, said at least one nozzle assembly having at least one air channel;
- and
- a compressed air supply connected to said at least one air channel such that an airflow issues from said air channel at a velocity of at least approximately 1½ miles per hour.
