Bug Blower - for trees/vines

The "Bug Blower" is used to dispense beneficials in a tree or vine canopy. The "good bugs" are metered into a water or a sticker mist, which is then blown into the crop canopy from air generated by a gasoline blower. The bugs can be transported between 15 and 20 feet (4.5-6 meters). This unit can either be attached to a tractor tool bar or mounted on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV). This dispenser gets 12v electrical power from the tractor or ATV, and uses gasoline for the blower.

An insulated reservoir is used with this dispenser to keep the "good bugs" cool. This is the same box that insectaries typically send to the grower. The ice-like material that surrounds the bottle of beneficials is used by the dispenser system for chilling.  This is most essential with predatory mites and lacewing larvae, but even eggs benefit from being kept cool and  covered from the effects of sunlight.
