The insecticide sprayer is formed within a container (2b) which is fitted with vertical slots in the two opposite sides which do not contain the spraying nozzles. The open top of the container is fitted with a two-part lid (2a), with the two parts separated to form a continuation of the opposing slots to form a complete vertical slot, through which slides the frame (1) to be treated. A compressor (4) supplies insecticide through a twin system of tubes to the spraying manifolds (6a) on either side of the container. The manifolds supply the insecticide to a series of nozzles (6b) which spray the insecticide over both sides of the frame. The excess liquid is collected in the bottom of the container, passed out through a drain (7) and flexible tube into a recycling container.
