<p>Apparatus for the on-site storage and application of dust type insecticide and parasite treating materials to the hair and hides of animals. An applicator of flexible hollow tubular structure having exterior finger protrusions for aggressive contact with the animal's hide and hair is resiliently suspended between support standards. Valve elements on the applicator are moved by animal contact to selectively retain and release the treating materials. A supply of materials is stored at elevated position in a weather impervious storing and shipping bag that is interconnected to the applicator by a flexible conduit. Spring assisted movements of the applicator and conduit prevents bridging of the treating materials in the applicator, the supply conduit and the storage bag. The storage bag itself provides a dust-tight shipping container having a through channel at its upper end facilitating insertion of a support rod and a lower necked discharge opening adapted for engagement with said flexible conduit.</p> |
