  • Publication number: 20060050511
    Abstract: A high intensity strobe light beam rodent repelling apparatus, which produces an undesirable high intensity strobe light beam to rodents, such as squirrels, mice and bats. It is used to deter such rodents from trespassing within certain geographical location of the high intensity strobe light beam in attics and crawl spaces and other areas and used to deter rodents from occupying said spaces. The high intensity strobe light beam apparatus annoys the eyes of said rodent. The external stimulus produce a reversible unpleasant sensation to said rodents and will avoid returning to such area. It is virtually harmless and creates a sensation of dizziness. It is to be used indoors and in unoccupied spaces, and hangs from wood beams such as in attics, and crawl spaces, to a height, which is the most desirable height of high intensity strobe light beam spread to cover targeted area.
