Electric deterrent device
Electric pest deterrents device having knitted conductors are presented. An elongated conductor comprising at least a single conducting strand knitted with itself or with other conducting strands can be attached to a based of the device. The conducting strands can be knitted according to one or more patterns to form textured surfaces having raise protrusions.
1. A method for producing an electrical deterrent device, comprising:
providing an elongated base; and
thermally attaching first and second conductors to the elongated base, wherein the step of thermally attaching the conductors further comprises molding the base around portions of the conductors.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of thermally attaching the conductors further comprises spot welding the conductors to the base.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the base comprises an insulator disposed between the first and second conductors.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the insulator comprises a raised portion of the base.
5. A method for producing an electrical deterrent device, comprising:
providing first and second conductors; and
molding an elongated base around portions of the first and second conductors to thermally attach the first and second conductors to the elongated base.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the base comprises an insulator disposed between the first and second conductors.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the insulator comprises a raised portion of the base.
8. An electric deterrent device, comprising:
an elongated base;
first and second conductors thermally attached to the base, wherein at least a portion of each of the first and second conductors is molded into the elongated base; and
a power connector coupled to at least one of the first and second conductors and capable of connecting the at least one of the first and second conductors to a power source.
9. The device of claim 8 , further comprising an insulator disposed between the first and second conductors.
10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the insulator comprises a raised portion of the base.
11. The device of claim 8 , further comprising an anti-arc lip.
12. The device of claim 8 , wherein the base further comprises an extruded hole.
13. The device of claim 8 , wherein the elongated base further comprises at least one channel on a bottom of the base.
