A container for fluid, including a container housing, a button atop the container housing, an overcap at least partially enclosing the button, the overcap having an orifice to allow flow of the fluid and an aperture for facilitating actuation of the button, the overcap further having a projecting member, and a fitting member disposed at least partially circumferentially about the container.

The present invention relates to a device and the use of said device for reducing insect irritation of an animal, especially to farm animals such as cattle and horses. Thereby addressing the recurrent problem of insect caused irritation to the eyes and face of an animal as well as to wounds on the surface of an animal or other moist areas offering a source of nourishment to the insects. A device according to the present invention can be directly attached to the surface of an animal in a detachable manner. The device may thus be positioned directly on the animal in a position of choice to the caretaker, thereby, local limitation of the number of insects, such as flies, may be achieved, protecting the animal from insect irritation, particularly in the vicinity of said device, independently of the environment surrounding the animal. Furthermore, it was surprisingly found, that a transparent device provided increased efficiency in catching insects, in particular flies, when attached to an animal compared to a comparable device not being transparent.

A system for exterminating insects includes a housing, a fluid-heating assembly housed within the housing that includes one or more fuel reserves, one or more burners that receive fuel from the one or more fuel reserves, and a heat exchanger defining a sinuous flow path positioned to receive heat from the one or more burners, a fluid inlet line coupled to the housing and fluidly connectable to a residential hose bib, the fluid inlet line fluidly coupled to the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger, such that fluid is directed from the fluid inlet line directly to the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger, and a fluid outlet line coupled to the housing and fluidly coupled to the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger such that fluid is directed from the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger directly through the fluid outlet line.

Devices and methods for pest control, including devices useful to place pest control devices at locations of use such as at a crop (e.g., at a branch of a tree), certain embodiments of devices including a capsule and a tether that can become tangled or caught in a tree or other crop location.

A system for sterilizing a physical space, such as a hotel room. The system generates and distributes heated air to the physical space to elevate the temperature of the space to a level sufficient to achieve a desired sterilization effect of eradicating insects and microoganisms. The system is portable and self-contained. The system includes a hydrogen fuel cell that generates electrical power. An electrical system conditions and stores the electrical power and supplies stored electrical power to the system components and peripherals. System components include a source of hydrogen, a heater, an air distributor, and a filter. Peripherals include a UV light source and an aerosol dispenser. The combination of heat, UV light and aerosol disinfectant effectively eradicates insects, microorganisms, allergens, and odors in the physical space.

The present invention is about turning the gaseous envelope that encoats, protects certain arthropods from their external environment against them. It teaches to apply radiation to the arthropods body in order to dysfunction the exacting geometry needed to maintain this protective envelope. This absorbed radiation thus makes the arthropod vulnerable to pesticides and other chemical agents. It also interferes with the arthropods ability to adequately breathe through their plastron covering by forcing it to increase its rate of metabolism via this absorbed radiation.

A progressive liquid fill capacity indicator located inside a vapor diffusion membrane liquid reservoir that utilizes index refraction matching of liquid contact to components, dyes, and surface tension gradients. This fill capacity indicator is low cost and reliable. It enables users to visually assess readiness and remaining liquid capacity to deliver attraction, masking, and repulsion scent vapors from wearable and stationary devices to repel or attract mosquitos and arthropods.
