ABSTRACT:
A liquid applicator device and a method of utilization thereof primarily for applying herbicide to plants. An elongated container has a closed first end and an opening in the second end through which a roller with fibrous covering is insertable and withdrawable. The roller has a handle extending from one end thereof and a closure structure is operatively associated with the handle for closing the opening in the container second end when the roller is within the container. The roller is mounted for coaxial rotation within the container, and a plurality of blades are mounted within the container around the internal periphery thereof, the blades interconnected by rings and also rotatable with respect to the container. Herbicide is placed in the container, the roller is inserted through the opening in the container second end, the roller (and blades) are rotated with respect to the container so that the herbicide is disposed on the roller, and then the roller is removed from the container by pulling on the handle and withdrawing it through the container second end opening. The roller may be then touched to plants that are desirably destroyed, and the roller may be reinserted and relative rotation effected until desired plant destruction is completed.
