ABSTRACT:
A portable herbicide applicator and method of destroying plants utilizing the same are provided that allow herbicide application in a safe, simple, and effective manner. The applicator includes a container having a closed end and an open end with a wiper positioned within the container. A fibrous exterior portion of an applicator structure is connected to a handle and is insertable into and withdrawable from the container, the wiping structure wiping excess liquid off of the fibrous covering when moved relative thereto. A cap is mounted by a strap to the container for closing the container open end while the herbicide applicator is being used, and a hook may be provided on the cap for hooking an opening on the handle and latching the applicator structure in place when it is positioned within the container. A strap on the container facilitates carrying with the open end facing upwardly. The fibrous portion is withdrawn from the container, pushed back in part-way to effect frothing of the herbicide, and then removed and touched to plants desirably destroyed.
