Abstract: A rodent repellent cable includes a jacket, a transmission means for facilitating transmission of electrical current or data, and a repellent bonded to at least one component of the cable. A method of manufacturing the rodent repellent cable includes electrostatically bonding a repellent to one or more components of the cable and adding the jacket around the internal components of the cable. The repellent is preferably an olfactory stimulant configured to repel rodents. Prior to adding the jacket around the internal components, the method may also include wrapping, enclosing, or otherwise surrounding one or more of the transmission means with a separator and/or wrapping, enclosing, or otherwise surrounding an assembly of internal components with a sheath. Additionally, prior to adding the jacket around the internal components, an assembly of internal components may be passed through a cooling apparatus to cool the assembly to a pre-determined temperature.

Abstract: A rodent repellent fiber optic cable includes an outer jacket, one or more optical fibers, and a repellent electrostatically bonded to at least one component of the cable. The one or more optical fibers extend longitudinally through an interior of the cable. The repellent is preferably an olfactory stimulant, such as menthol, configured to repel rodents. In various embodiments, the cable also includes one or more separators and/or a sheath. In embodiments that employ separators, at least one optical fiber is wrapped in, or otherwise surrounded by a separator. In embodiments that employ a sheath, the sheath surrounds an assembly of the cable's internal components.

Abstract: A rodent repellent cable has an outer protective jacket for housing the cable's internal components. The internal components include at least a means for facilitating transmission of electrical current or data, and a repellent bonded to at least one component of the cable. The means for facilitating transmission of electrical current or data include, but are not limited to, wires and optical fibers. The cable may include additional internal components, such as one or more separators and a sheath. The repellent is configured to repel rodents, based on a negative olfactory stimulus when the rodents are subjected to the repellent. This will deter rodents from chewing on wire or cable containing the repellent, which will significantly reduce the incidence of fires of undetermined origin and rodent-inflicted damage to wiring systems universally.

Abstract: The rat repellent system includes a structural member saturated with a menthol solution. The structural member is a fibrous member, such that saturation may be accomplished by submerging the structural member into the menthol solution to allow the structural member to absorb the menthol solution. To maximize saturation, the submerged structural member may be pressurized. The structural member is configured to releasably couple to a substrate, such as a wall stud, a floor joist, a structural beam, or a shipping pallet. The structural member couples to the substrate using a fastener, such as a nail, a screw, or a bolt that passes through an aperture in the structural member and into the substrate. The structural member may also be coupled to a substrate using a clamp.

Abstract: A rat repellent system comprises a prepared solution comprising at least a solvent and an effective amount of crystal menthol. A structural member that is saturated with the prepared solution. A substrate receives the structural member.

Abstract: A rodent repellent system for repelling rodents from open spaces while simultaneously providing a pleasant scent. The inventive device includes a wood stake which is driven into the ground. The stake is soaked in a fragrance oil. A package preferably stores one or more of the stakes preferably within a sealable plastic bag. The user drives the stake into open earth in the area to be cleared of rodents. The fragrance oil is retained by the stake and slowly released. The fragrance oil provides a strong scent that repels rodents by irritating their respiratory system while simultaneously providing a pleasant scent to humans.
