The Clamper A unique tool that allows for highly selective herbicide application to herbaceous vegetation,
Untitled Document. Is this thing cool or what!!! Beats the heck out of the stamp licker bottle and the kitchen dish soap sponge thingie with a handle I use. They call it a “A refined weapon with a gentle touch for invasive plant management”. "
Developed by Paul Labus, John Drake, and the Southern Lake Michigan Rim project office of the Indiana Chapter of The Nature Conservany, the clamper is basically a modified version of a wicking bar for more accurate and specific herbicide application to individual target plants. It was designed and built from 32" E-Z Reacher pick-up tools (available through Forestry Suppliers Inc.) with the suction ends removed and replaced with cut-down PVC tube ends holding absorbent sponges. Herbicide is applied to the sponge ends with a trigger pump hand-sprayer." There's an e-mail address to contact the guy who came up with this if anyone wants to give him a jingle.
