Abstract
Embodiments are directed to deterring pests using a user-customizable array of spikes buried under the surface of the ground. A system is provided for deterring pests using a user-customizable array of spikes buried under the surface of the ground. The system includes a lattice sheet with one or more interconnected segments, where each interconnected segment includes various recipient nodules configured to receive pest deterring spikes. In this way, the lattice sheet comprises a user-customizable array of pest deterring spikes. The pest deterring system also includes various pest deterring spikes, each of which is fastened orthogonally to at least one of the recipient nodules on the lattice sheet, so that the pest deterring spikes are positioned toward the ground surface.
Claims20
A system for deterring pests using a user-customizable array of spikes buried under the surface of the ground, the system comprising:
- a lattice sheet comprising one or more interconnected segments, wherein each interconnected segment comprises one or more recipient nodules configured to receive a pest deterring spike, such that the lattice sheet comprises a user-customizable array of pest deterring spikes;
- and
- one or more pest deterring spikes, each of which is fastened orthogonally to at least one of the recipient nodules on the lattice sheet, such that the pest deterring spikes are positioned toward the ground surface.
A method for deterring pests using a user-customizable array of subterranean spikes fastened to a lattice sheet, the method comprising:
- an act of fastening one or more pest deterring spikes to a lattice sheet, the lattice sheet comprising one or more interconnected segments, wherein each interconnected segment comprises one or more recipient nodules configured to receive a pest deterring spike, such that the lattice sheet comprises a user-customizable array of pest deterring spikes;
- and
- an act of burying the lattice sheet with the one or more fastened pest deterring spikes under the ground surface such that the pest deterring spikes are positioned toward the ground surface and are positioned to be substantially even with the ground surface.
A user-customizable pest deterring apparatus that includes the following:
- a lattice sheet comprising one or more interconnectable segments, the segments of the lattice sheet being individually connectable or disconnectable such that the layout of the lattice sheet itself is user-customizable, wherein each interconnected segment comprises one or more recipient nodules configured to receive a pest deterring spike, such that the lattice sheet comprises a user-customizable array of pest deterring spikes;
- one or more connecting clips for connecting the lattice sheet to at least one other lattice sheet;
- and
- one or more pest deterring spikes, each of which is fastened orthogonally to at least one of the recipient nodules on the lattice sheet, such that the pest deterring spikes are positioned toward the ground surface.
