ABSTRACT:

The insulated electrical shock tube comprises a hollow voltage insulating tube (30), with it's exterior surface criss-crossed with a bare secured electrical circuit (100) insulated at disposed areas (40, 50, 60), and a power supply connector (70) providing electrical shock stimuli to animals when contact is made to the bare secured electrical circuit surrounding the insulated tube secured to support pole of birdfeeder. In an alternate embodiment the shock tube can be installed horizontally at roof overhangs to deter pigeons and other animals from nesting and spoiling roof (FIG. 6.) In another embodiment the shock tube can be hung on expensive landscaping or fruit trees where deer try to feed (FIG. 7.). Still another embodiment the shock tube can be for commercial use around trash areas or electric power sub-stations where racoon and possoms are a problem and poisons are undersirable. Another alternate embodiment of the shock tube can be around flower and vegetable gardens in isolated areas where an electric fence is not wanted.
