<p>A deterrent means for deterring the presence of small animals, birds and the like includes elongate insulating material (2), housing at least two laterally spaced apart lengths of partially exposed wire (3, 4), one being live and connected to a source of power (5), the other being connected to earth. A plurality of spaced apart openings (6) are provided along the length of said deterrent means, between said laterally spaced apart wires (3, 4) for drainage. The arrangement of the invention is such that on a small animal coming into contact with the wires (3, 4), a circuit is completed and a current is conducted through the small animal or bird, thus discouraging its presence.</p> |
