1. A method to protect an apparatus from insect pests, said method comprising the steps of
(a) providing a wireless, portable electronic device comprising
(i) a housing;(ii) a microprocessor;(iii) a face including a touch screen;(iv) a touch screen generated keyboard;(v) apparatus providing a wi-fi capability;(vi) audio-visual display capability;(vii) apparatus providing the ability to load and utilize “apps”;(viii) network connectivity;(ix) apparatus which permits the location of the device to be determined using a global positioning system, and(x) at least one connector socket to receive at least connector pin of a data transmission cable one or more connector pins at the end of an audio cable; (b) providing a pliable laminate film shaped to cover a selected portion of said face of said electronic device, including the display screen, said film comprising outer sealing layers bounding a transparent inner laminate sandwich, said inner laminate sandwich comprising
(i) transparent inner polymer layers,(ii) a time-pressure release pesticide, and(iii) an adhesive layer contacting one of said inner polymer layers, said adhesive layer activated with an application fluid; (c) providing a squeegee with an elongate pressure-applying edge; (d) providing said activation fluid; (e) cleaning the face of said electronic device; (f) removing the outer sealing layer from said laminate film; (g) wetting said adhesive layer with the activation fluid; (h) applying the laminate sandwich to the face of said electronic device by contacting the face with the wetted adhesive layer; (i) slidably adjusting the laminate sandwich over the face of said electronic device to a selected position in registration with said selected portion of the face; (j) sliding the elongate edge of the squeegee over the laminate sandwich to remove excess activation fluid and to generate compressive pressure against the laminate sandwich to release the time-pressure release pesticide to produce a pesticide concentration gradient in inner polymer layers in the laminate sandwich; and, (k) drying said electronic device. |
