It looks like a pest control system that runs tubes through the wall and the pesticide was powder pushed with nitrogen. It was getting big here for a while.

Hooo
Never saw anything like that in my life so might be worth checking out.
One would think there would be a extermination sticker in the box however.
California ,so it is a warm weather climate.

Electronic Battleship comes to mind...

I'm here all night

No seriously, my nephew has a similar system in his home in AZ. Very nice way to control pests imo.

Same thing Bob. We had it in a house down here. Worked great. Pest control service is like water service down here. Critters everywhere.
