Abstract
Electrical deterrent systems are presented. A deterrent system can include electrical deterrent tracks comprising an insulator base and a conducting strip affixed to a top surface of the track. The bases can include one or more base connectors that allow tracks to be joined together in various configurations including area covering arrays. The conducting strips can be woven, non-woven, meshes, or other types of conductors.
Claims25
A pest deterrent system, the system comprising:
- a plurality of tracks, each track comprising an elongated insulator base and a conducting strip affixed along a top surface of the base, and where the base has at least a first base connector capable of coupling the base to another base of another track;
- wherein at least a first track and a second track are arranged adjacent to each other on an installation surface;
- and
- a power coupling assembly electrically coupled to at least the conducting strips of the first and second tracks and configured to provide a voltage different difference between the conducting strips.
1 more element
An electrical deterrent track, comprising:
- an elongated insulator base having a first base connector configured to couple with a second base connector of a second insulator base;
- and
- a conducting strip affixed to a top surface of the elongated base.
