Abstract
The present disclosure provides a pest repellant system that includes pulse generator circuitry to generate pulses from a power source. The frequency and amplitude of the pulses are selected based on a selected pest species. One or more emitters are coupled to the pulse generator to generate pulsed fields to interfere with navigational/landing/nesting abilities of the selected pest species. The pulse generator circuitry includes filter circuitry to remove/attenuate unwanted frequency components of the pulses, in accordance with regulatory and/or government requirements. The pulse generator circuitry is encased in a housing structure to provide moisture and tamper resistance in accordance with regulatory and/or government requirements.

1-6. (canceled)
A pest repellant system, comprising:
- a water-resistant housing structure;
- transformer circuitry, disposed within the water-resistant housing structure, to generate a step-up voltage output from a voltage source;
- pulse trigger circuitry, disposed within the water-resistant housing structure, to generate pulse signals having a selected frequency;
- filter circuitry, disposed within the water-resistant housing structure, to filter signal components in the pulse signals;
- controller circuitry, disposed within the water-resistant housing structure, to control the pulse trigger circuitry to control the frequency of the pulse signals based on, at least in part, based on a selected species of pest;
- and
- an insulated conducting wire to receive the plurality of pulses and to generate a pulsed electromagnetic signal having frequency based on the frequency of the plurality of pulses.
