A styling mousse generator adapted to foam a liquid and deliver foamed styling mousse for use in hair treatment and the like having a liquid reservoir in its lower portion, means for filling the reservoir, a fan and motor above the reservoir, a fan inlet and a fan outlet, a foam delivery tube leading from the reservoir to the fan inlet, a liquid inlet duct (coming from the reservoir) and an air inlet duct (coming from a location higher than the reservoir liquid level) at an acute angle to each other (to create a Bernoulli type effect) and leading to the foam delivery tube, and a passageway leading from the fan outlet to a foam outlet. The passageway may be serpentine or include frictional, agitating means to warm the foam.
The airtight foamable liquid reservoir of a portable foam generator includes a pressurized air inlet and a discharge tube with one or more venturi openings. As a foamable liquid within the reservoir is discharged from the reservoir by the pressurized air through the discharge tube, pressurized air enters the discharge tube through the venturi opening(s) to create a fluid foam from the foamable liquid. For pest control, the foam generator may be utilized to foam and dispense a foamable pesticide that, preferably, includes a non-repellant, nonionic foaming agent adjuvant. The foamed pesticide may be introduced into walls and relatively inaccessible building locations as well as over the entrances of and into passages and habitats used by pests.
