The following plans show how to construct a hand–held device intended for burning out insect nests such as wasps, ant hills, cocoons, maggots, gypsy moths, etc.

It may also be used to ignite rubbish piles, brush, leaves etc.

This device like many with similar use and capability can be a very dangerous weapon in the wrong hands. It should not be assembled unless the builder is thoroughly aware of the hazards involved.

Range of this device is dependent on the chemical and nozzle used.

Usually a tight stream can have a range in excess of 20 inches (similar to a toy water pistol) while a wide vaporous stream may only be effective up to five inches, but can create a virtual wall of fire and flame.
