Abstract
A method and a device for repelling pit vipers (rattlesnakes, copperheads, water moccasins) and boids (pythons, anacondas, boa constrictors) are disclosed whereby the snakes are irradiated with IR radiation having an appropriate wavelength and intensity to stimulate the IR-receptors of the snakes, thereby “jamming” the IR-receptors and/or producing an inimical electromagnetic environment that the snakes cannot tolerate.
Claims11
A method of repelling an IR-sensitive snake by irradiating the snake with electromagnetic radiation that has an appropriate wavelength and a sufficient power density to activate the IR-receptors of the snake.
A device for repelling IR-sensitive snakes comprising:
- a first means for producing electromagnetic radiation that has an appropriate wavelength and a sufficient power density to activate the IR-receptors of the snakes, and a case enclosing said first means.
