Pest Deterrent Device

摘要

A pest deterrent device for surrounding a plant includes a base member having a generally circular configuration and constructed of a non-conductive material. A battery is situated adjacent the base member. First and second conductive elements are coupled to an interior surface of the base member and electrically connected to the battery. The conductive elements and battery are configured such that electrical current is actuated when a conductive bridge, such as an insect or other pest, electrically connects the conductive elements. The base member includes a bottom wall, a lower portion extending upwardly from the bottom wall, and an upper portion connected to the lower portion and extending upwardly and inwardly so as to form a precipitation shield over the first conductive element and the second conductive element.

1. A pest deterrent device for surrounding a plant, comprising:
a base member having a generally circular configuration and constructed of a non-conductive material; a battery situated adjacent said base member; a first conductive element coupled to an interior surface of said base member and electrically connected to said battery; a second conductive element coupled to said interior surface of said base member and electrically connected to said battery, said first conductive element being parallel to and spaced apart from said second conductive element; wherein current from said battery flows circuitously between said first conductive element and said second conductive element when said first and second conductive elements are operatively connected by an electrically conductive bridge; wherein said base member includes:
a bottom wall;a lower portion extending upwardly from said bottom wall;an upper portion connected to said lower portion and extending inwardly so as to form an overhang above said interior surface of said base member.
