Drive through any commercial area on a weekday morning and you will see it. Pest control trucks parked outside restaurants and office buildings, with a manual cobweb pole bungee-corded in the back, sticking four or five feet past the tailgate.

01 / The Fix

What EZ Smart looks like instead.

CW16-1 · Powered Cobweb Duster Kit · In field

The EZ SMART® Extension Pole (EP16-1) collapses and lays flat inside the truck bed. No bungee cords. No overhang. No damage risk in a parking garage. It fits inside a Maverick bed, one of the most popular trucks in the pest control fleet right now.

A more organized truck. Equipment is there when the technician needs it.

02 / The Upgrade

A powered upgrade to that manual cobweb brush.

The EZ SMART® Powered Cobweb Duster replaces the manual cobweb brush with a battery-powered spinning head that clears webs faster and with less effort across a full route. It reaches up to 21 feet from the ground. Techs stay on their feet.

The Old Way

Manual cobweb pole.

  • Hangs four to five feet past the tailgate, bungee-corded in place.
  • Slow manual brushing that wears down shoulders over a full day.
  • Smears webs and debris instead of fully clearing them.
  • Requires ladders for higher corners and eaves.
  • No adjustability, stuck at one angle for every job.
The EZ Smart Way

Powered Duster Kit.

  • Collapses and stores cleanly in the truck, no overhang or tie-downs.
  • Spinning head clears webs and debris in seconds with less effort.
  • Reach up to 21 feet from the ground, fewer ladder climbs.
  • Adjustable knuckle for better angles on tough-to-reach areas.
  • Standard 3/4 inch ACME thread, works with other brush heads.

01 · OBSERVATION

The rearview mirror problem.

§ 1.1

Drive through any commercial area on a weekday morning and you will see it. Pest control trucks parked outside restaurants, office buildings, and apartment complexes, with a manual cobweb pole bungee-corded or wedged in the back, sticking four or five feet past the tailgate.

It is one of the most recognizable pieces of equipment in the industry. It is also one of the most frustrating. Manual poles get damaged in transit, left at job sites, and snapped pulling into tight parking structures.

ACurrent state: manual pole past tailgate

§ 1.2

When equipment is gone, someone is running to a supply house before the route can move. The industry employs more than 100,000 technicians across the U.S. [1] Every unnecessary equipment hassle is time and money walking out the door.

The EZ SMART® Extension Pole uses a standard 3/4-inch ACME thread, the same connection on many professional poles already in the field. If a technician already has a compatible pole, the Powered Duster head attaches directly. No new pole needed.
