ABSTRACT:
A liquid applicator device and a method of utilization thereof to effect plant destruction. A first distinct container containing herbicide, with a rotary valve extending from one end thereof, is mounted on a second elongated container with the metering valve between the first and second containers. An elongated roller having a fibrous cover for receiving herbicide from the container and for ultimately transferring the herbicide to a plant is insertable into the second container, and has a handle extending from one end thereof outwardly of the second container. The opposite end of the roller is operatively connected to an actuator for the valve between the containers so that relative rotational movement between the roller and the containers results in metering of a predetermined amount of herbicide from the first container to the second container. In the second container the herbicide is evenly distributed over the surface of the fibrous covering, and after the predetermined amount has been metered the roller is withdrawn and the fibrous covering thereof touched to plants to effect destruction thereof. A telescopic rod operatively connects the roller handle to a support for the fibrous covering.
