Abstract

A device for exterminating pests includes a belt consisted of the first side plate and the second side plate which is connected to the first side plate on the two respective first sides thereof so that an opening is defined between the two respective second sides of the two side plates. Each of the first side plate and the second side plate has an engaging device attached to the inside thereof so as to be engaged with each other. Insecticide is received between the first side plate and the second side plate, and the belt is wrapped around the trunk of trees.

Claims

1. A belt for exterminating pests from trees, comprising:

a longitudinally extended first member being of sufficient length to encircle a tree trunk, said first member having first and second opposing longitudinal edges and an inside face and an outside face;

a longitudinally extended second member having a length substantially equal to said length of said first member and disposed in overlaying relationship thereon, said second member having first and second opposing longitudinal edges and an inside face juxtaposed over said inside face of said first member and an outside face, said first longitudinal edge of said second member being affixed to said first longitudinal edge of said first member to form a longitudinally extended cavity between said first and second members;

a pair of first hook and loop fastening elements of a pair of first hook and loop fasteners respectively secured to said outside face of said first member adjacent said first and second longitudinal edges of said first member;

a pair of second hook and loop fastening elements of said pair of first hook and loop fasteners respectively secured to said outside face of said second member adjacent said first and second longitudinal edges of said second member, said pair of second hook and loop fastening elements being complementary to said pair of first hook a nd loop fastening elements;

a second hook and loop fastener having one element thereof secured to said inside face of said first member adjacent said second longitudinal edge thereof and the other element secured to said inside face of said second member adjacent said second longitudinal edge thereof to form a releasable closure between said second longitudinal edges of said first and second members to define a closable longitudinally extended access to said longitudinally extended cavity; and

,

an insecticide composition inserted into said longitudinally extended cavity through said longitudinally extended access, wherein said belt is wrapped about a tree trunk subsequent to insertion of said insecticide composition.

2. The belt as recited in claim 1 where said insecticide composition is in a form selected from the group consisting of particulates, paste, and capsules.
