Environmentally safe insect control system

Abstract

An environmentally safe insect control system for incapacitating a nest of insects while allowing an individual to simultaneously remove the nest without utilizing toxic chemicals. The inventive device includes a telescoping tube, a carbon dioxide tank, a tube extending from the tank along the telescoping tube, a nozzle extending from the distal end of the telescoping tube for dispersing the carbon dioxide, and a capturing structure attached to the distal end of the telescoping tube and about the nozzle for capturing portions of the nest and insects. The nozzle attached to the tube preferably has a plurality of apertures within for allowing complete coverage by the carbon dioxide for incapacitating the insects within the nest. In an alternative embodiment, a ring member replaces the capturing structure for retaining a bag having a drawstring. In the alternative embodiment, a scraper is attached to the distal end of the telescoping tube for engaging and removing the nest. In the alternative embodiment, the user is able to pull upon a length of the drawstring for closing the bag about the nest of insects.
