Abstract
An apparatus for repelling animals which is attachable to the top of any external barrier. The apparatus has an elongated hollow roller with an opening on each of its two ends; an end cap, with an aperture for receiving an axle, seated in a water-tight manner into each end of the roller; and a mounting member having an upper section with one or more axle projecting from it wherein the axles are adapted to insert into the aperture of the end cap and permit rotation of the roller and also having a lower section adapted to attach to an external structure. Noise-producing articles may be inserted into the hollow of the roller such that, as the roller is rotated, the movement of the articles within emit noise.
