1. A single piece actuator, comprising: first and second actuating members, wherein a dispensing orifice is disposed between the first and second actuating members; anda manifold in fluid communication with the dispensing orifice, wherein the manifold includes a base adapted to impinge a valve stem of a container and place same in fluid communication with the manifold,wherein the single piece actuator is adapted to be hingedly attached to a housing with a hinging element, the housing providing a pivot for the hinging element, the hinging element engaging an undercut portion extending from a lower end of a mounting assembly on an interior surface of the housing such that the single piece actuator resiliently deforms about the pivot when one of the first and second actuating members is actuated. 2. The single piece actuator of claim 1, wherein the first actuating member is a pushbutton and the second actuating member is a trigger. 3. The single piece actuator of claim 1, wherein the actuator is placed in combination with the housing, the housing being adapted to be retained on the container having the valve stem. 4. The single piece actuator of claim 3, wherein the housing is retained on the container having the valve stem and the base of the manifold is in fluid communication with the valve stem. 5. The single piece actuator of claim 4, wherein actuation of one of the first and second actuating members causes the valve stem to be depressed and fluid from the container to be communicated through the manifold and out the dispensing orifice. 6. The single piece actuator of claim 4, wherein the container is a pressurized container housing a volatilized fluid. 7. The single piece actuator of claim 1, wherein gripping portions are disposed on at least one of the first and second actuating members. 8. An actuator cap, comprising: a housing configured to be attached to a container having a valve stem;an actuator including first and second actuating members, the actuator hingedly attached to the housing with a hinging element, the housing providing a pivot for the hinging element, the hinging element engaging an undercut portion extending from a lower end of a mounting assembly on an interior surface of the housing such that the actuator resiliently deforms about the pivot when one of the first and second actuating members is actuated; anda dispensing orifice in fluid communication with a manifold, wherein the manifold includes a base adapted to place same in fluid communication with the valve stem of the container. 9. The actuator cap of claim 8, wherein the housing has an opening sized to receive the actuator. 10. The actuator cap of claim 8, wherein the first actuating member is a push button and the second actuating member is a trigger. 11. The actuator cap of claim 8, wherein the dispensing orifice is disposed between the first and second actuating members. 12. The actuator cap of claim 8, wherein the mounting assembly includes a pivot bar, an aperture, and the undercut portion. 13. The actuator cap of claim 12, wherein the hinging element extends from an interior surface of the actuator, wherein the hinging element includes first and second arms having grooves and latching members extending downwardly from the hinging element with gripping members disposed thereon, and wherein the portions of the hinging element defining the grooves are disposed adjacent the pivot bar and the latching members extend through the aperture so as to engage the gripping members with the undercut portion. 14. The actuator cap of claim 8, wherein the housing is retained on the container having the valve stem and the base of the manifold is in fluid communication with the valve stem. 15. The actuator cap of claim 14, wherein actuation of one of the first and second actuating members causes the valve stem to be depressed and fluid from the container to be communicated through the manifold and out the dispensing orifice. 16. The actuator cap of claim 14, wherein the container is a pressurized container housing a volatilized fluid. 17. A method of manufacturing an actuator cap for a container, the method comprising the steps of: providing a housing; andattaching an actuator including a hinging element to the housing by engaging the hinging element with an undercut portion extending from a lower end of a mounting assembly on an interior surface of the housing, the housing providing a pivot for the hinging element, wherein the actuator includes first and second actuating members and a dispensing orifice in fluid communication with a manifold, wherein the manifold includes a base adapted to place same in fluid communication with a valve stem of the container, and wherein the actuator is adapted to pivot about the housing and resiliently deform when one of the first and second actuating members is actuated. 18. The method of claim 17, further including the step of providing an opening in the housing adapted to receive the actuator. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the first and second actuating members and the manifold are formed integrally with one another. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the first actuating member is a pushbutton and the second actuating member is a trigger.
