ABSTRACT:
The antipest mat protects vehicles against entry by small animals by giving the animals a deterrent electrical shock. The mat is made up of two sections joined together to form a closed shape with an open area in the middle. The sections are connected together at a pivot point that allows the mat to be opened so that it can be placed around a vehicle support point, such as a tire, and then closed to completely surround the vehicle support point. The upper insulative surface of the mat sections holds a pattern of closely spaced conductors. The conductors are arranged so that adjacent conductors are of opposite or differing polarities. The conductors are connected to one or more connectors. A source of electric power is provided to energize the conductors so that an animal contacting two or more adjacent conductors receives an electric shock.
