An emanating device includes a substrate with a body having a first portion and a second portion, a foldable member, and first and second hinges along a longitudinal axis of the body and connected to the foldable member. The foldable member is movable between a first state, such that the member is co-planar with the first portion and second portion, and a second state, such that the foldable member is not co-planar with the first portion and the second portion.

A system for diffusing one or more volatile compounds includes a base and a pod tray, carried by the base. At least one pod is carried by the pod tray. The pod has a housing holding a volatile compound mass, the housing and mass being moveable relative to one another. An actuator is carried by the base, the actuator being operable to engage the pod and move the housing and the volatile compound mass relative to one another. The pod and the actuator are positionable relative to one another such that one or both of the pod and the actuator can be positioned proximate to one another to enable the actuator to engage the pod and move the housing and the volatile compound mass relative to one another.

Volatile material dispensers are disclosed that include a substrate having a first wall portion with a first grasping portion and a second wall portion with a second grasping portion. The first wall portion and the second wall portion are substantially coplanar in a first state. The volatile material dispensers may further include at least one hinge joining the first wall portion and the second wall portion along a central axis and an insect control active. At least one of the first wall portion and the second wall portion is moveable about the central axis to form a configuration in which the first and the second wall portions are substantially not coplanar in a second state. The first grasping portion and the second grasping portion are coaxial with the central axis in the first state and the second state.

An ecofriendly maritime pest management provides a compartmentalized and portable container for transporting an eclectic assortment of pest management devices insecticides, and baits. The ecofriendly maritime pest management kit has many novel features that enhance the capabilities to transport and compartmentalize pest management devices and nontoxic baits, and are useful for use on a maritime vessel on the ocean. The pest management devices and nontoxic baits articles are segregated into different compartments and color coded for quick access. The ecofriendly maritime pest management kit includes a mechanical pest entrapment device, a gimbally mounted container for containing a predetermined quantity of nontoxic insecticide, an insect repellant delivery device, an insect repellant solid composition, and a container for the insect repellant solid composition. The exterior pouches provides the option of carrying bait, sanitation gels, paper towels, contact information, medicine, or other articles beneficial for the management of pests on a maritime vessel.

A bed system for the inspection and treatment of crawling insects, for example bed bugs, includes a main support panel and at least one movable mattress panel upon the main support panel to define a crevice between the panels for harboring crawling insects for subsequent inspection and treatment. A sleeping mattress is then supported on the mattress panel. The support panel is supported above a supporting surface, for example the floor or a boxspring mattress, by a spacer frame. The support panel further includes a skirt member extending down from the perimeter edge of the support panel by a height of the spacer frame so that the bottom free edge of the skirt member is in close, non-contacting proximity to the supporting surface. Treatment chemicals may optionally be provided in the space below the main support panel which is defined by the spacer frame mounted between the supporting surface and the main support panel.

A scent vaporizing and distribution device uses an electric heating element to rapidly vaporize a liquid scent material. An airflow generator is used to create a distribution airflow that distributes the vapor from the device. The airflow generator can be an electric-powered fan or a manually-powered pump or squeezable bladder. The liquid scent material can include a glycol or a water-glycol mixture. A scent material such as liquid or powdered deer urine or a pleasant scent that can be used as a room or automobile or room freshener is mixed with the liquid. The vapor generator can be removable and replaceable such that different scents can be used with a single airflow generator or an empty generator can be replaced.

A release device for a vaporizable and/or sublimateable pesticide is provided. The release device is suitable for use against subterranean pests (e.g. fire ants). The release device may be driven into and/or placed in a cavity within the soil or other substrate where the pests reside. The release device comprises a vapor injector which releases the pesticidal composition through apertures into the pest habitat, where it is distributed in vapor form.

Devices and methods for the control of pests using the vapors of a pesticidal composition. Compostions, devices and methods for the selective control of pests while not harming one or more beneficial insects are also disclosed. In some embodiments, the pests are bed bugs, fleas, lice, ticks, or the like. In some embodiments, the pests are varroa mites and the beneficial insects are honey bees.

Fragrance delivery device with first flexible impermeable barrier layer and second flexible impermeable barrier layer coupled to the first flexible impermeable barrier layer to define a first chamber. A reservoir substance having a volatile medium is disposed in the first chamber. The device further includes at least one vapor releasing microporous layer having a plurality of micropores therein. The vapor releasing microporous layer defines a second chamber. A frangible seal seals the first chamber from the second chamber in a delivery condition. Activation of the device compromises the frangible seal to fluidly couple the first chamber with the second chamber and to transfer the reservoir substance to the second chamber. The volatile medium of the reservoir substance is releasable from the fragrance delivery device via the plurality of micropores in the use condition.

The invention belongs to the sector of combating endemic diseases. It is an insecticide aerosol nebulizer on platform for pickup trucks. It has means of selecting and/or nebulizing adulticides, larvicides or cleaning. The nebulizer comprises an autonomous set of air flow (1) comprised of a combustion engine (11) of low power with a fuel tank (12) that activates a blower (13) (lobe pump) for atomization of the insecticide in the atomization nozzle (2); multiple set of reservoirs (3) comprised of larvicide reservoir (31); adulticide (32) and cleaning fluid (33) mounted in housing (34); hydraulic circuit (5) comprising larvicide/cleaning directional valve (V1); adulticide/cleaning (V2); electric pump (51) diaphragm; larvicide shut-off/release valve (V3); adulticide (V4); return (V5); flow control (V6); output directional (V7); junction (52) and duct (53). Stirring (6) comprises directional stirring valve (61); tube (62); lid (63) and relief (64).
