Abstract
An animal deterrent is provided. The animal deterrent includes a housing having a high voltage spark generator disposed within. A power source, such as a battery, is connected to the high voltage spark generator. A sensor may be connected to the battery and is operable to detect at least one of a motion and a sound. When the sensor detects at least one of the motion and the sound, the power source powers the high voltage spark generator so that the high voltage spark generator generates high voltage sparks. The high voltage sparks produce a sound and a light, along with ozone scaring animals away.

An animal deterrent comprising:
- a housing;
- a high voltage spark generator disposed within the housing;
- a power source operable to power the high voltage spark generator;
- a sensor operable to detect at least one of a motion and a sound, wherein
- when the sensor detects at least one of the motion and the sound, the power source powers the high voltage spark generator so that the high voltage spark generator generates high voltage sparks.
A method of deterring animals from entering a restricted area comprising:
- placing an animal deterrent within the restricted area, wherein the animal deterrent comprises a high voltage spark generator;
- a power source operable to power the high voltage spark generator;
- and a sensor;
- detecting at least one of a sound and a motion within the restricted area by the sensor;
- producing a high voltage spark from the high voltage spark generator.
