Apparatus for protecting against insect attacks

A portable assembly for stopping an attack by stinging flying insects on an operator, the assembly comprising:

• a tank containing a surfactant and mounted to a portable platform;
• a delivery system having at least one nozzle and positioned in proximity to the operator;
• a tubular member fluidly connecting the tank and the delivery system;
• an electric pump adapted to convey said surfactant from the tank to the delivery system;
• and
• an actuator, operable by the operator, for causing the pump to deliver the surfactant to the delivery system under pressure, thereby causing the surfactant to be expelled from said nozzle.

A portable pumping assembly comprising:

• a portable platform;
• a tank mounted on said portable platform;
• a solution comprising an insect-killing agent contained in said tank;
• a fluid delivery system comprising at least one nozzle for dispensing fluid therethrough;
• a conduit disposed between said tank and said fluid delivery system, said tank and fluid delivery system being in fluid communication with one another;
• an electric pump mounted on said portable platform and adapted to pump said solution from said tank to said delivery system and out of said nozzle;
• a manual actuator adapted to activate said pump to cause the solution on said tank to be pumped through said conduit to said fluid delivery system and out of said nozzle.
