Abstract
A pest extermination system for installation in a structure for distributing pesticide and insecticide. The pest extermination system includes a piping system. The piping system has a plurality of nozzles positioned therealong that are adapted for spraying a pesticide. A pumping device is in fluid communication with the piping system and is adapted for pumping pesticide into the piping system.
Claims2
An extermination system comprising:
- a structure having a base and a roof;
- a piping system;
- said piping system having a plurality of nozzles positioned therealong, said nozzles being adapted for spraying a pesticide;
- a pumping device in fluid communication with said piping system and adapted for pumping pesticide into said piping system;
- and
- wherein said piping system is positioned about 4 feet from a nearest wall of said structure;
- a reservoir being in fluid communication with said piping system and adapted for storing pesticide;
- a filter for filtering the pesticide;
- a plurality of hooks each adapted for coupling a portion of said piping system to a cross member of a structure extending generally parallel said portion of said piping system;
- wherein each of said hooks has an arcuate flange extending outwardly therefrom for positioning the associated portion of the piping system alongside and below the associated cross member;
- a plurality of clamps each adapted for coupling a portion of said piping system to a cross member of said structure extending generally perpendicular said portion of said piping system;
- wherein each of said clamps being generally U-shaped and forming a channel, the associated portion of said piping system being positioned in said channel, said hooks each having an arcuate flange extending outwardly therefrom for positioning the associated portion of the piping system alongside and below the associated cross member.

A structure with extermination system comprising, in combination:
- a structure having a base including four walls and a roof having a pair of roofing portions oriented at angles to a ceiling of said structure;
- an annular lower piping system positioned inwardly of said base;
- an annular upper piping system positioned inwardly of said roofing portions and above said ceiling;
- each of said piping systems having a plurality of nozzles positioned therealong, said nozzles being adapted for spraying a pesticide, said nozzles being positioned between about 5 feet and about 8 feet apart;
- a pumping device in fluid communication with said piping systems and adapted for pumping pesticide into said piping systems, said pumping device comprising an air compressor for blowing a mixture of air and said pesticide through said piping systems and out of said nozzles to form a vapor such that said vapor is for providing greater coverage throughout said base and said roof;
- an outer diameter of said pipes of said piping system being about 1 and ½ inches;
- a reservoir in fluid communication with said piping systems and adapted for storing pesticide, said reservoir being positioned between said pumping device and said nozzles;
- a filter for filtering the pesticide;
- a plurality of hooks each adapted for coupling a portion of said piping system to a cross member of said structure extending generally parallel said portion of said piping system;
- each of said hooks having an arcuate flange extending outwardly therefrom for positioning the associated portion of the piping system alongside and below the associated cross member, said flange of each of said hooks tapering towards a distal end of said flange such that said distal end of said flange facilitating prevention of said distal end from becoming entangled in clothing of a user;
- each of said hooks having a protrusion extending outwardly along a longitudinal axis of a mounting hole through which a fastener extends,
- a plurality of clamps each adapted for coupling a portion of said piping system to a cross member of said structure extending generally perpendicular said portion of said piping system;
- and
- each of said clamps being generally U-shaped and forming a channel, the associated portion of said piping system being positioned in said channel, said hooks each having an arcuate flange extending outwardly therefrom for positioning the associated portion of the piping system alongside and below the associated cross member.
