ABSTRACT:
An animal repellant apparatus, particularly for protecting trash cans, comprises a mat of rubber, plastic, or other elastomeric material equipped with a system of wires and a source of electric current for shocking and repelling animals. The mat has at least one central opening to receive a trash can and a switch actuated by placing a trash can in position. The mat has a plurality of parallel grooves and ridges in the upper surface thereof with drainage holes extending through the bottom of the grooves to assist in draining off rainwater. A system of wires is provided on the surface of said ridges and a source of electric power provided to energize the wires sufficiently to shock an animal without killing it and without danger to humans, adult or child. The electric power source is connected to the wires so that alternate wires are connected to one side or the other side thereof whereby any animal stepping thereon will be shocked and repelled therefrom.
