US Patent 10028502 Animal deterrent device

An animal deterrent is provided. The animal deterrent includes a housing having a high voltage spark generator disposed within. A power source, such as a battery, is connected to the high voltage spark generator. A sensor may be connected to the battery and is operable to detect at least one of a motion and a sound. When the sensor detects at least one of the motion and the sound, the power source powers the high voltage spark generator so that the high voltage spark generator generates high voltage sparks. The high voltage sparks produce a sound and a light, along with ozone scaring animals away.
