Abstract
An animal deterrent is provided. The animal deterrent includes a housing having a high voltage spark generator disposed within. A power source, such as a battery, is connected to the high voltage spark generator. A sensor may be connected to the battery and is operable to detect at least one of a motion and a sound. When the sensor detects at least one of the motion and the sound, the power source powers the high voltage spark generator so that the high voltage spark generator generates high voltage sparks. The high voltage sparks produce a sound and a light, along with ozone scaring animals away.
Claims6
An animal deterrent for detecting and deterring an animal from entering a restricted area comprising:
- a plurality of sensors;
- a housing surrounding an internal cavity within which a high voltage spark generator, a power source, and at least one of said plurality of sensors are disposed, said housing including a window;
- said high voltage spark generator operable to generate a simulated lightning, including a bright light and a loud sound for deterring animals within the restricted area, and an ozone odor for deterring animals from beyond the restricted area;
- said power source operable to power said high voltage spark generator;
- at least another of said plurality of sensors being positioned on a perimeter of the restricted area;
- at least one of said plurality of sensors operable to detect at least one of a motion and a sound, wherein
- when at least one of said plurality of sensors detects at least one of the motion and the sound, said power source powers said high voltage spark generator so that said high voltage spark generator generates the simulated lightning, and wherein the bright light is visible through the window of said housing.
