As attorney for the inventor of the innovative Apparatus For Repelling Ground Termites we are currently seeking manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention.
The present invention relates generally to termite repellents and, more specifically, to an apparatus for repelling ground termites from a desired area through application of a voltage to the ground surrounding the desired area thereby creating an electrical barrier.
Objects of the present invention:
- to provide an apparatus for repelling ground termites which is able to provide protection for a desired area from termites by treating the ground of the area with an electrical current
- to provide an apparatus for repelling ground termites which is able to provide protection for generally inaccessible areas such as beneath a wooden structure
- to provide an apparatus for repelling ground termites wherein the electrical current is supplied by a plurality of electrodes extending into the ground
- to provide an apparatus for repelling ground termites wherein the plurality of electrodes are in the form of metal stakes which can be easily inserted into the ground
- to provide an apparatus for repelling ground termites wherein the electrodes are in the form of flat metal plates of any desired shape or size
- to provide an apparatus for repelling ground termites including two sets of electrodes positioned in the ground on opposing ends of the desired protection area whereby the electrical current flows through the soil and between the two sets of electrodes
The following pictures are meant to display possible physical characteristics of the present invention and are not to be taken in a limiting sense. It is understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
