Abstract: A pest deterrent device for surrounding a plant includes a base member having a generally circular configuration and constructed of a non-conductive material. A battery is situated adjacent the base member. First and second conductive elements are coupled to an interior surface of the base member and electrically connected to the battery. The conductive elements and battery are configured such that electrical current is actuated when a conductive bridge, such as an insect or other pest, electrically connects the conductive elements. The base member includes a bottom wall, a lower portion extending upwardly from the bottom wall, and an upper portion connected to the lower portion and extending upwardly and inwardly so as to form a precipitation shield over the first conductive element and the second conductive element.
