ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for discharging insects from a moving vehicle includes an insect retaining assembly and an insect acceleration chute. The chute receives air at several locations for accelerating the insects to the speed of the air passing the vehicle. The retaining assembly includes at least one surface for retaining the insects formed from a series of louvers which can be individually rotated on axles to discharge the insects. A metering valve is provided for delivering insects from the retaining assembly to the chute at a constant rate. A refrigeration apparatus is preferably provided for supplying cooled air to the retaining assembly to cool the insects. A method for discharging insects from such a dispenser includes the steps of depositing insects on each retaining surface and rotating the louvers individually at a constant rate to drop the insects from each surface at a constant rate.
