Abstract

An insect nest removal assembly includes a telescopic pole that has a fluid coupling at one end, a head coupling at another end, and a sealed hollow interior extending an entire length between the fluid and head couplings; a head connected to the head coupling that includes a blade, a brush, and a passage in fluid communication with the sealed hollow interior of the telescopic pole and the brush; and a fluid control valve connected to the hollow interior of the telescopic pole.

Claims

1. An insect nest removal assembly comprising:

a telescopic pole including a fluid coupling at one end, a head coupling at another end, and a sealed hollow interior extending an entire length between the fluid and head couplings;

a head connected to the head coupling, the head including a blade, a first brush and a second different brush spaced apart from the first brush, and a passage in fluid communication with the sealed hollow interior of the telescopic pole and at least one of the first and second different brushes; and

a valve connected to the telescopic pole and arranged to control a fluid flow to the hollow interior of the telescopic pole.

2. The insect nest removal assembly of claim 1 further comprising the head including a top side located opposite the head coupling and two distal side ends left and right of the head coupling, the blade being located on the top side toward one of the two distal side ends of the head and at least one of the first and second different brushes being located on the top side toward another of the two distal side ends of the head and spaced apart from the blade.

3. The insect nest removal assembly of claim 1 further comprising at least one other brush of the first and second different brushes being located on a distal side end of the head opposite that of the blade.

4. The insect nest removal assembly according to claim 1 further comprising the head including a wedge-shaped portion ending in the blade.

5. The insect nest removal assembly of claim 1 further comprising the head including at least one light and associated light circuitry and power source.

6. The insect nest removal assembly of claim 5 wherein the at least one light is an LED light.

7. The insect nest removal assembly of claim 6 wherein the at least one light is located on a top side of the head between the at least one brush and the blade.

8. The insect nest removal assembly of claim 1 further comprising the head coupling being a pivoting joint.

9. The insect nest removal assembly of claim 1 further comprising the valve including a multi-feed control unit.

10. The insect nest removal assembly of claim 9 further comprising the multi-feed control unit including a selector for selection of a first fluid and a second different fluid.

11. The insect nest removal assembly of claim 10 wherein at least one of the first fluid and the second different fluid is a fluid selected from the group consisting of water, air, detergent, acid, paint, and insecticide.

12. The insect nest removal assembly of claim 1 further comprising a detachable handle connected to the telescopic pole between the fluid and head couplings and extending in a sideward direction from the telescopic pole.

13. An insect nest removal assembly comprising:

a telescopic pole including a fluid coupling at one end, a pivot joint at another end, and a sealed hollow interior extending an entire length between the fluid coupling and the pivot joint;

a head connected to the pivot joint, the head including a blade at one end, at least one brush located toward another end, and a passage in fluid communication with the sealed hollow interior of the telescopic pole and the at least one brush;

a valve connected to the telescopic pole and arranged to control a fluid flow to the hollow interior of the telescopic pole; and

a light arranged on a top side of the head and in communication with associated light circuitry and power source.

14. The insect nest removal assembly of claim 13 further comprising a detachable handle connected to the telescopic pole between the fluid and head couplings and extending in a sideward direction from the telescopic pole.

15. An insect nest removal assembly comprising:

a telescopic pole including a fluid coupling at one end, a head coupling at another end, and a sealed hollow interior extending an entire length between the fluid and head couplings;

a head pivotally connected to the head coupling; and

a valve connected to the telescopic pole and arranged to control a fluid flow to the sealed hollow interior of the telescopic pole;

the head including;

a top side located opposite the head coupling and two distal side ends left and right of the head coupling;

a blade located on the top side toward one of the two distal side ends of the head;

a first brush located on the top side toward another of the two distal side ends of the head and spaced apart from the blade;

a second different brush located on the another of the two distal side ends and spaced apart from the first brush located on the top side; and

a passage in fluid communication with the sealed hollow interior of the telescopic pole and at least one of the first and second different brushes.

16. The insect nest removal assembly of claim 15 further comprising the head including at least one light and associated light circuitry and power source.

17. The insect nest removal assembly of claim 15 further comprising a detachable handle connected to the telescopic pole between the fluid and head couplings and extending in a sideward direction from the telescopic pole.
