Apparatus for rejection / control of pests for areas, and the use thereof

A pest control system configured to inhibit pests from entering a geographical area, the system comprising:

• a first conductor that is electrically conductive and at least partially uninsulated;
• an electrical current source connected to the first conductor and comprising:
• a capacitor configured to build up and discharge electrical pulses;
• a voltage regulator configured to control a relevant voltage of the discharged electrical pulses between the first conductor and at least one of:
• a second completely or partially uninsulated electrically conducting conductor;
• and
• ground;
• an amperage regulator configured to control a current of the discharged electrical pulses;
• the current source configured to provide a plurality of pulse trains to the first conductor, each pulse train comprising a plurality of the discharged electrical pulses separated by a duration of time between each pulse, sequential pulse trains separated by a resting period between the pulse trains, wherein:
• the relevant voltage is between 400 and 50,000 volts;
• the current is under 100 mA;
• and
• a number of pulses per minute does not exceed 10,000;
• a control unit coupled to the current source and configured to receive system settings for the current source;
• a data collection unit coupled to the control unit and configured to collect operation data associated with the system;
• a go/no-go unit coupled to the control unit and configured to determine if starting conditions for the system are met;
• and
• an on/off unit coupled to the control unit and the go/no-go unit and configured to turn the system on or off in response to the go/no-go unit.
