Abstract
An animal exclusion system comprising first and second conductive elements electrically isolated from each other and each having a different electrical potential applied thereto, the first and second conductive elements each comprising carbonaceous particles in a polymeric binder forming a conductive load bearing surface, the load bearing conductive surface of the first conductive element being close enough to the load bearing conductive surface of the second conductive element for both surfaces to simultaneously be in electrical contact with an animal of predetermined size.
Claims17
An animal exclusion system comprising:
- a first conductive element and a second conductive element positioned side by side, wherein
- each of the first conductive element and the second conductive element comprises:
- an electrically conductive composition comprising carbonaceous particles in a polymeric binder forming a conductive load bearing surface, and
- a conductor encased within the electrically conductive composition below the conductive load bearing surface such that the conductor is not exposed at the load bearing surface;
- the first conductive element and the second conductive element are electrically isolated from each other and earth ground;
- a power source connected to apply a first electrical potential to the conductor of the first conductive element and a second electrical potential to the conductor of the second conductive element;
- and
- the load bearing conductive surface of the first conductive element being close enough to the load bearing conductive surface of the second conductive element for both surfaces to simultaneously be in electrical contact with an animal of predetermined size.
