Abstract
Systems and methods for extermination of ants may provide for the introduction of powder insecticide directly into an ant colony to deliver maximum saturation throughout the colony chambers or tunnels. Ants within the colony may track through the insecticide, and the insecticide may contaminate the ants' food source within the colony, thereby exterminating the ants with minimal disturbance to people or animals.
Claims16
An ant extermination system comprising:
- an air blower device;
- an air blower tube attached to the air blower device, the air blower tube having a tapered end that is inserted into an ant colony, the tapered end comprising an application cap and a compression seal;
- a product reservoir attached to the air blower tube that receives a powder insecticide;
- and
- a product feeder tube that moves the powder insecticide from the product reservoir to the tapered end of the air blower tube to be delivered into the ant colony,
- wherein ants in the ant colony are exterminated through maximum saturation through tunnels of the ant colony and with minimal disturbance to people or animals.

A method for ant extermination comprising:
- locating an entrance to an ant colony;
- inserting a tapered end of an air blower tube into the entrance to the ant colony, the tapered end comprising an application cap and a compression seal;
- activating an air blower device connected to the air blower tube;
- compressing the compression seal to the ground around the entrance to the ant colony;
- and
- introducing a powder insecticide into ant colony through a product feeder tube that moves the powder insecticide from a product reservoir connected to the air blower tube to the tapered end of the air blower tube.
- wherein ants in the ant colony are exterminated through maximum saturation through tunnels of the ant colony and with minimal disturbance to people or animals.
