Injection apparatus for injecting pesticide
First Claim
1. An injection apparatus comprising:
- a handle;
a reservoir mounted on the handle for holding a pesticide concentrate;
a mixing device mounted on the apparatus for mixing the pesticide concentrate with a carrier liquid to form a pesticide solution;
a manifold head attached to the handle, the manifold head having at least one inlet and at least one internal passage in fluid communication with the at least one inlet;
a plurality of nozzles in fluid communication with the at least one internal passage in the manifold head and adapted for subsurface injection of the pesticide solution, wherein the plurality of nozzles includes a high pressure nozzle; and
a low pressure nozzle for applying a pesticide to the surface,the manifold head having a substantially planar contact member having a contact surface for contact with the surface beneath which the pesticide is applied, the contact member having a first opening in the contact surface in fluid communication with the high pressure nozzle and a second opening in the contact surface in fluid communication with the low pressure nozzle.

Abstract
An injection apparatus for treating soil adjacent a structure has a handle and a manifold head attached to the handle. The manifold head has at least one inlet and at least one internal passage in fluid communication with the at least one inlet. A high pressure nozzle is in fluid communication with the at least one internal passage in the manifold head and is adapted for emitting a discharge stream of pesticide for subsurface injection of the pesticide. A low pressure nozzle is provided for applying a pesticide to the surface. The manifold head has a substantially planar contact member having a contact surface for contact with the surface beneath which the pesticide is applied. The contact member has a first opening in the contact surface in fluid communication with the high pressure nozzle and a second opening in the contact surface in fluid communication with the low pressure nozzle.
