One embodiment of the disclosures made herein is an apparatus adapted for receiving an aerosol dispenser and for operating the aerosol dispenser at a distant position from an operator. Such an embodiment includes an elongated body, an extension pole mount, an actuation member mount and an actuation member. The elongated body includes an aerosol dispenser-receiving cavity therein. The aerosol dispenser-receiving cavity extends from a first end of the body toward a second end of the body. The extension pole mount is attached to the second end of the body. A longitudinal axis of a pole-receiving cavity of the extension pole mount is generally aligned with a longitudinal axis of the aerosol dispenser-receiving cavity. The actuation member mount is attached to the body. The actuation member is attached at a first end thereof to the actuation member mount. A spray head engagement portion of the actuation member extends at least partially across the first end of the body through the longitudinal axis of the aerosol dispenser-receiving cavity. The spray head engagement portion is selectively movable between an at-rest position and a displaced position for enabling selective activation of a spray head of an aerosol dispenser. It is advantageous for the longitudinal axis of the aerosol dispenser-receiving cavity and the longitudinal axis of a pole-receiving cavity to be generally aligned and for actuation forces of the actuation member on a spray head of an aerosol dispenser to be directed generally along these longitudinal axes. Such an arrangement reduces adverse force distribution within the apparatus, thus reducing cost, simplifying construction and enhancing robustness of the apparatus.
