ABSTRACT:
In order to deter deer from yards and gardens, an improved electrode design for a baited, shock-producing deer repellent device is provided. The devices are deployed in the area to be protected and deer, attracted to the scent oil used as bait, will receive a shock and be frightened from the area. The device consists of a protective housing which shelters the electronic components and batteries, and serves as the base for a long thin support stem which holds the scent dispenser and the electrodes at the desired height. The improved electrodes are configured to be almost complete circles which crisscross, without touching, at the top. The circular electrodes more completely surround the scent dispenser, thus improving the chances of a deer contacting the electrodes, regardless of the height or angle of the device or the size or approach angle of the deer.
