Abstract
A handle attachment snap engages over the top of an aerosol can and includes a trigger adapted to depress the spray button. The device fits most sizes of cans and adaptor rings may be provided to ensure a firmer support for smaller cans. The handle attachment and associated aerosol can may be secured to and elevated on a pole or other elongated support and operated remotely for spraying of trees, buildings, and the like. A partially rotatable shroud is provided which, when in one position, enables the trigger to be operated in order to dispense the contents of the can through the spray nozzle and when in the other position, prevents the trigger from being depressed and also shrouds the nozzle if the can is improperly placed within the assembly.
