Abstract: An area protection system deters predators/varmint from specific areas, such as vegetable gardens, shrubs, flower beds and the like. The system includes a horn that sounds an alert when the predator/varmint pulls a trip wire that circumscribes the area where protection is desired. The system does not use harmful chemicals or electric shock and does not require an electricity supply or batteries. The system is simple to set-up and maintain. The system can be set up in straight runs, circles, squares, and up and down elevations, making the system versatile.
