Aerosol dispenser
A repellent system with a housing containing a pressurized cannister containing a repellent and having a release valve, and an actuator in the housing that activates the release valve to dispense repellent.
1. A repellent system comprising:
a housing;
an aerosol cannister in the housing containing an insect repellent dispensed via actuation of a valve on the aerosol cannister;
an electrically powered actuator that selectively opens the valve to release repellent;
a power supply;
and a control circuit that energizes the electrically powered actuator with the power supply to cause the electrically powered actuator to open the valve;
wherein the power supply comprises a connection to a string light; and,
wherein the power supply comprises a battery in the housing.
2. The repellent system of claim 1 , wherein actuation of a valve comprises pressing of a valve.
3. The repellent system of claim 2 , wherein the actuator is a linearly actuating solenoid.
4. The repellent system of claim 3 , wherein the control circuit energizes the actuator to open the valve intermittently.
5. The repellent system of claim 1 , wherein the repellent comprises metofluthrin.
6. The repellent system of claim 1 , further comprising a user control that activates the control circuit.
7. The repellent system of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor that causes the control circuit to energize the actuator to open the valve.
