Apparatus for vehicle distribution of solid insecticide-carrying bodies

Abstract

An apparatus for vehicle distribution of solid insecticide-carrying pellets or briquets into bodies of water such as catch basins includes a bracket which is formed and adapted to be supported on the door of a vehicle with the window rolled down. Preferably, the bracket is positioned adjacent the vehicle operator's driving position. The bracket extends outside of the vehicle and has an opening therein. A funnel and a tube are positioned at a location to be accessible to the driver with the tube extending through the bracket opening. The relative sizes of the tube and the opening permit movement of the tube therein so that the vehicle operator may direct the tube to a desired location for application of an insecticide-carrying pellet or briquet. The funnel extends upwardly to a height relative to the bracket which permits the vehicle operator to place an insecticide-carrying pellet therein. There is a container attached to the bracket, preferably on the inside of the vehicle and accessible to the vehicle operator such that the operator may take a pellet from the container and place it in the funnel and then direct the funnel and tube to a desired location, all while remaining in the vehicle operator's driving position. There is a counter positioned on the bracket between the funnel and the container so that the vehicle operator may register each application of an insecticide pellet.
