Abstract
A rodent deterrent system for a pipe system, the pipe system including a T-junction and a midsection riser. The deterrent system for the T-junction includes a first mesh screen configured to surround a vertical portion of the T-junction and a second mesh screen configured to surround a horizontal portion of the T-junction. Also, the deterrent system for a perforated riser includes a mesh wrap sleeve configured to surround the midsection of the riser. Alternatively, the riser midsection sleeve can be lengthened so that the second mesh is not needed as the lengthened sleeve also performs the same function as the second screen.
Claims20
A system to deter rodents from accessing a pipe system including a midsection riser pipe, the deterrent system comprising:
- a riser mesh screen folded so that opposed ends align, a riser strap folded over the aligned ends and sewn along the length of the riser mesh screen to form a riser mesh screen assembly, the riser mesh screen assembly having a diameter so that it will fit over the midsection riser pipe and a length at least as long as the length of the midsection riser pipe.
A pipe system, comprising:
- a T-junction having three openings, two of the openings aligned at opposing ends of a first generally cylindrical portion, the third opening at the end of a second generally cylindrical portion, transverse to the first generally cylindrical portion;
- a midsection riser pipe, one end of the midsection riser pipe received by the T-junction third opening;
- a system to deter rodents from accessing the pipe system including a riser mesh screen folded so that opposed ends align, a riser strap folded over the aligned ends and sewn along the length of the riser mesh screen to form a riser mesh screen assembly, the riser mesh screen assembly having a diameter so that it will fit over the midsection riser pipe and a length at least as long as the length of the midsection riser pipe, where the riser mesh screen assembly is placed over the midsection riser pipe.
