Abstract
A method of treating soil adjacent a structure generally includes positioning an injection apparatus over a first injection site generally adjacent a structure. The injection apparatus is operated to inject pesticide down into the soil at the first injection site without prior disturbance of the soil at the first injection site. The injection apparatus is moved over a second injection site at least in part different from the first injection site and generally adjacent the structure. The injection apparatus is operated to inject pesticide down into the soil at the second injection site and without prior disturbance of the soil at the second injection site.
Claims65
A method of treating soil adjacent a structure, said method comprising:
- positioning an injection apparatus over a first injection site generally adjacent a structure;
- operating the injection apparatus to inject pesticide down into the soil at said first injection site, said operating step being performed without prior disturbance of the soil at said first injection site;
- moving the injection apparatus over a second injection site at least in part different from said first injection site and generally adjacent the structure;
- and
- operating the injection apparatus to inject pesticide down into the soil at said second injection site, said operating step being performed without prior disturbance of the soil at said second injection site.
A method of treating soil adjacent a structure, said method comprising:
- positioning a base unit of a treatment apparatus at a stationary location relative to the structure;
- positioning an application tool of the treatment apparatus over a first injection site generally adjacent the structure, the application tool including at least one nozzle;
- operating the base unit to supply pressurized treatment liquid from a source of treatment liquid to the application tool;
- operating the application tool to deliver pressurized treatment liquid through the at least one nozzle for injection down into the soil at said first injection site without prior disturbance of the soil at said first injection site;
- moving the application tool relative to the base unit to a position over a second injection site at least in part different from said first injection site and generally adjacent the structure;
- and
- operating the application tool to deliver additional pressurized treatment liquid through the at least one nozzle for injection down into the soil at said second injection site without prior disturbance of the soil at said second injection site.
A method of treating soil adjacent a structure, the method comprising:
- positioning an injection apparatus so that at least one high pressure nozzle of the injection apparatus is adjacent to the soil to be injected with pesticide;
- delivering a pesticide solution to the at least one high pressure nozzle;
- and
- injecting the pesticide solution into the soil by permitting the pesticide solution to flow through the at least one high pressure nozzle and into the soil without prior disturbance of the soil.
A method of treating soil adjacent a structure, the method comprising:
- positioning an injection apparatus so that at least one high pressure nozzle and at least one low pressure nozzle of the injection apparatus are adjacent to the soil;
- delivering a pesticide solution to the at least one high pressure nozzle and the at least one low pressure nozzle;
- injecting the pesticide solution into the soil by permitting the pesticide solution to flow through the at least one high pressure nozzle and into the soil without prior disturbance of the soil;
- and
- applying the pesticide solution on the soil by permitting the pesticide solution to flow through the at least one low pressure nozzle and onto the soil.
A method of treating soil adjacent a structure, the method comprising:
- positioning an injection apparatus so that at least one high pressure nozzle of the injection apparatus is adjacent to the soil;
- delivering a pesticide solution to the at least one high pressure nozzle;
- injecting the pesticide solution into the soil by permitting the pesticide solution to flow through the at least one high pressure nozzle and into the soil without prior disturbance of the ground;
- and
- depositing a marking material onto the soil to indicate where the pesticide solution had been injected into the soil.
A method of treating soil adjacent a structure, said method comprising:
- positioning an injection apparatus over a first injection site generally adjacent a structure;
- operating the injection apparatus to inject pesticide other than vertically down into the soil at said first injection site, said operating step being performed without prior disturbance of the soil at said first injection site;
- moving the injection apparatus over a second injection site at least in part different from said first injection site and generally adjacent the structure;
- and
- operating the injection apparatus to inject pesticide other than vertically down into the soil at said second injection site, said operating step being performed without prior disturbance of the soil at said second injection site.
A method of treating soil adjacent a structure, the method comprising:
- positioning a base unit of a treatment apparatus at a stationary location relative to the structure;
- positioning an application tool of the treatment apparatus over an injection site generally adjacent the structure, the application tool including a reservoir of a treatment substance, a mixing device, and at least one nozzle;
- operating the base unit to supply pressurized liquid to the application tool;
- mixing the pressurized liquid with the treatment substance using the mixing device to form a pressurized treatment solution;
- and
- operating the application tool to deliver the pressurized treatment solution through the at least one nozzle for injection down into the soil at said injection site without prior disturbance of the soil at said injection site.
