Technologies (e.g., devices, systems and methods) for sanitizing reservoirs of humidifiers are described. In some embodiments, the technologies include a sanitization gas system and a connector unit. The connector unit is configured to install into a portion (e.g., wall, bottom, top, or lid) of a reservoir, such as a reservoir of a humidifier. The connector unit includes an inlet passageway for supplying sanitizing gas (e.g., ozone) into the reservoir, and an outlet passageway for removing sanitizing gas from the reservoir. In some embodiments at least a portion of the outlet passageway is disposed radially around the inlet passageway. The sanitization gas system may provide a sanitizing gas to the inlet passageway and receive the sanitizing gas from the outlet passageway.

Devices and methods for the control of pests, including plant pests, using the vapors of a plant health, pesticidal and/or pest control composition are disclosed. Compositions, devices and methods for the selective control of plant or other pests while not harming one or more beneficial insects are also disclosed. In some embodiments, the pests are include bugs, fleas, lice, ticks, plant pathogenic insects, acari, or the like. In some embodiments, the pests are varroa mites and the beneficial insects are honey bees.

A method and system for fumigating a material is disclosed. The method includes the steps of containing the material to be fumigated in a containment volume and forming a gas mixture in the containment volume, the gas mixture including at least a fumigation agent and an ambient gas originally present within the containment volume, wherein the partial pressure of the fumigation agent is elevated with respect to the ambient gas in the containment volume. The method further includes then maintaining a concentration of a fumigation agent within the containment volume for a required time to fumigate the material and then removing the fumigation agent from the containment volume.

A gas transfer system including a housing, a pressurized gas canister held by the housing, a first passageway in fluid communication with the pressurized gas canister and configured to supply pressurized pre-sterilization gas from the pressurized gas canister to a fluid flow component, a gas discharge canister held by the housing; and a second passageway in fluid communication with the gas discharge canister and configured to supply post-sterilization gas from the fluid flow component to the gas discharge canister. The system may include devices directed to disinfection of fluid flow components, members, or fluid zones, and methods for their use. Additional related devices, systems and methods are provided.

A method and apparatus for a kit is provided for euthanizing animals. The kit makes use of an enclosure and a canister. The enclosure is configured to hold one or more animals. The canister holds the reactants that are combined to form the euthanizing agent and provides a mechanism for the reactants to be delivered to and mixed together in the enclosure. The canister is designed and configured to allow for the reactants to be added rapidly and nearly simultaneously into a chamber while preventing one or more animals held in the enclosure from direct contact with the reactants.

An improved underground fumigation method and system including a plurality of elongated pipes placed underground adjacent to a building structure, each having a series of apertures therethrough adapted to allow fumigation liquids and gases to pass along a length thereof and outwardly through the apertures. Each elongated pipe includes an external blockage preventing half-pipe attached along a substantial portion of the length of the elongated pipe and includes a series of apertures therethrough adapted to align with the apertures of the elongated pipe. A main control box is included and attached to each elongated pipe and controls the flow of fumigation liquids and gases therethrough. Furthermore, a fumigation liquid and/or gas supply tank is provided and connected to the main control box and adapted to provide fumigation liquids and/or gas to the underground fumigation system.
