Abstract
A method for the extermination of parasites including fleas and ticks, by hermetically enclosing the body of a host animal within a chamber and circulating an atoxic vapor through the chamber as a treatment repeated until the parasite count is reduced, employing an apparatus comprised of a hermetic chamber with air recirculation of a vaporized liquid lethal to the parasites, thereby removing the parasite colonies from the animal and its surrounding environment.
Claims9
A method for ridding a host animal and its habitat of parasite infestation through the progressive extermination of parasites on the host animal by repeated treatments on the host animal, each of said treatments including:
- a first step of removing the host animal from its habitat and enclosing its body within a hermetic chamber,
- a second step of recirculating air in a closed air circuit through the hermetic chamber,
- a third step of charging the recirculating air with an atoxic vapor lethal to the parasites for their extermination,
- a fourth step of exhausting and dissipating the recirculating air and atoxic vapor from the closed air circuit through the hermetic chamber and to the surrounding atmosphere,
- and a fifth step of removal of the host animal from the chamber and return to its habitat.
