Abstract
A device supporting an insecticide container in actuating fashion for engaging an insect nest. The insecticide is provided as a conventional aerosol spray which includes a depressible head. First and second elongated and telescopically attached members define proximal and distal ends. A handle at the proximal end includes an axial extending slot. A button projection from the first elongated member extends through the slot and permits the handle a degree of axial movement. A platform is arranged at the distal end of the elongated members and supports thereupon the insecticide container. A pair of elongated and telescopically attached rods extend between the handle and the platform and, upon actuation of the handle, axially displaces the platform in a direction towards a tab extending in fixed manner from the distal end of the telescopically attached members, engaging against the depressible container head to actuate the spray container.
