Abstract
The invention is directed to an insecticide delivery system for delivering an insecticide to an ambient environment. The insecticide delivery system includes a can having an open end and an interior. A thermally activated insecticide is disposed within the can interior. An electrical heater assembly is disposed adjacent to the can. The heater assembly is configured for increasing a temperature of the can to a temperature whereby the thermally activated insecticide is delivered to the ambient environment. The heater assembly includes a resistance heater wire connected in series with a thermal cut-off device. The resistance heater wire may include a parallel shunt at one or both ends thereof.
