The invention relates to a device ( 01, 20, 22 ) for repelling insects ( 03, 08 ) that move along the ground, particularly termites, so as to protect buildings or parts of buildings. The inventive device comprises a support element ( 12, 21, 23 ) that is made of an electrically insulating material and at least two electrical conductor elements ( 04, 05, 06 ) which are disposed thereupon parallel to and at a distance from each other and between which a voltage can be applied by means of a voltage source. The distance between the conductor elements ( 04, 05, 06 ) is at least slightly smaller than the length of the insects ( 03, 08 ) that are to be repelled such that the insects ( 03, 08 ) form a current-conducting connection between the conductor elements ( 04, 05, 06 ) when passing the support element ( 12, 21, 23 ) perpendicular to the conductor elements ( 04, 05, 06 ). Said conductor elements ( 04, 05, 06 ) run in a vertically staggered manner at different heights. An at least small difference in height exists between the lowest conductor element ( 06 ) and the subjacent surface ( 07 ). |
