Abstract
An elongate insect repellant barrier for application to the exterior of a building. The barrier is formed of a backing extending in a substantially vertical direction when applied to the exterior of a building, a bottom surface extending from the backing, and a lip formed along the front edge thereof. The backing, bottom surface and lip form a trough along the length of the barrier, and an upper angled surface slopes downwardly from the backing and extends outwardly from the backing to overhang the lip along the length of the elongate barrier. The trough is filled with a mixture of mineral oil, or other light oil, and water, from which crawling insects attempting to enter the building fall as they reach the top of the lip on the front edge of the elongate member and are unlikely to escape, and the overhanging angled surface protects the oil and water mixture in the trough from being affected by ambient weather conditions.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/874,156, filed Dec. 12, 2006, which related patent application is hereby incorporated in its entirety by this specific reference thereto.
- The present invention relates to a barrier that is applied or installed to a building or other structure for repelling entry of insects into the building or structure. In more detail, the present invention relates to a barrier that is applied to the outside of the building that traps crawling insects attempting to enter the building along the building foundation.
- In today's environmentally conscious world, it is no longer acceptable to repel insects from, for instance, building interiors by applying increasing amounts of stronger chemicals. Such chemicals require periodic re-application, further increasing their impact on the environment and even the health and safety of those who apply such chemicals and those who live and/or work in the buildings to which they are applied.
- At the same time, and for some of the same reasons, stringent governmental controls for both the composition of chemical insect repellants and for methods of application of chemical insect repellants increase the cost of traditional insect repellant chemicals such that such methods are not as economical as in years past. For similar reasons, so far as is known, there are no safe and efficacious insect repellants that can be applied by the “do-it-yourself” home and/or business owner. Nor are there any known insect repellant methods or treatments that can be applied to a building or structure once, without repeated applications (and repeated cost).
- It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an environmentally-friendly insect barrier for application or installation on buildings or other structures.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a barrier that is easily and quickly applied to the exterior of a building or other structure for trapping insects, especially crawling insects, that would otherwise enter the building or other structure.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus that is effective in repelling insects from the interior of buildings or other structures.
- Another object of the present invention is to effectively repel insects from buildings or other structures without the need for re-application of toxic or harmful chemicals.
- Similarly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus that is effective at repelling insects even after long exposure to ambient weather conditions, including heat, cold, and moisture.
- Other objects, and the many advantages of the present invention, will be made clear to those skilled in the art in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment(s) of the invention and the drawings appended hereto. Those skilled in the art will recognize, however, that the embodiment(s) of the present invention that are described herein are only examples of specific embodiment(s), set out for the purpose of describing the making and using of the present invention, and that the embodiment(s) shown and/or described herein are not the only embodiment(s) of method performed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention.
- The present invention meets the above-described objects by providing an elongate member adapted for mounting to the exterior of a building or other structure. The elongate member is formed with a cross-sectional shape comprised of a backing extending in a substantially vertical direction when said member is applied to the exterior of a building, a bottom surface extending substantially horizontally from the backing and having a lip formed along the front edge thereof, the backing, bottom surface and lip forming a trough along the length of the elongate member, and an upper angled surface sloped downwardly from the backing and extending outwardly from the backing to overhang the lip along the length of the elongate member. The trough is filled with a mixture of mineral oil, or other light oil, and water, from which crawling insects attempting to enter the building fall as they reach the top of the lip on the front edge of the elongate member and are unlikely to escape, and the overhanging angled surface protects the oil and water mixture in the trough from being affected by ambient weather conditions.
- Referring now to the figures,
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic sectional view of a presently preferred embodiment of the insect repellant barrier of the present invention. - Referring now to
FIG. 1 , a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated and will be described in detail. The insect repellant barrier is indicated generally inFIG. 1 atreference numeral 10, and is applied to the foundation or an exterior wall of a building or other structure, theconcrete slab 12 of a building being shown inFIG. 1 at a point aboveground level 14. As known in the art, the building or other structure is provided with aninterior wall 16 with the exterior brick, siding, or other facing being shown atreference numeral 18. After removing any dirt the extends up the side of theslab 12 fromground level 14 and cleaning the exterior surface ofslab 12 to whichbarrier 10 is to be applied, thebarrier 10 is adhered toconcrete slab 12 with a bead of caulk or building adhesive. A silicone caulk is preferred for this purpose because of the durability and water repellant capabilities of that material and, although as described below,barrier 10 is preferably made of a material that flexes and therefore follows the contour of the exterior surface ofslab 12, it may also be advantageous to fill any cracks or voids in the exterior surface ofslab 12 with caulk or other material as known in the construction arts to provide a smooth surface to whichbarrier 10 is adhered and to seal the exterior ofslab 12 againstbarrier 10. As shown inFIG. 1 , two beads, or rows, 20 of caulk provide satisfactory adherence to slab 12, but as set out below, the exterior surface ofbarrier 10 is preferably provided with a bead of caulk to provide a weather seal that also seals thebarrier 10 againstslab 12 such that those skilled in the art will recognize thatbarrier 10 can also be applied to the exterior surface ofslab 12 using masonry screws or other conventional fasteners known in the art, hence the use of the term “applied” herein for characterizing the relationship betweenbarrier 10 andslab 12. If masonry screws or other fasteners are utilized to applybarrier 10 toslab 12, it is important that the screws be inserted throughbarrier 10 near the top and that each screw hole be sealed with caulk so that the oil-water mixture 22 (see below) does not leak through the screw holes and to insure an effective barrier against crawling insects. - In applying
barrier 10 toslab 12, it is important that the barrier, which is applied so that it extends around the perimeter of the entire building, be level. Further,barrier 10 is comprised of aluminum, vinyl or other polymeric plastic, or other material that is seamed and/or sealed in accordance with techniques known in the construction industry for, for instance, installation of gutters. For instance, ifbarrier 10 is comprised of vinyl, scrap pieces may be used with PVC cement to complete the barrier in accordance with known techniques around both interior and exterior corners of the building supported onslab 12. - Referring again to
FIG. 1 , the structure ofbarrier 10 will now be described in detail.Barrier 10 is formed from an elongate member that is comprised of abacking 24 that is substantially vertical whenbarrier 10 is properly applied toslab 12. Abottom surface 26 extends frombacking 24 and, although shown as being substantially horizontal inFIG. 1 , there is no requirement that thebottom surface 26 extend at a right angle from thebacking 24, or even that thebottom surface 26 be flat. The present invention contemplates, for instance, that the bottom surface may extend at an angle other than 90° from thebacking 24 for, for instance, application ofbarrier 10 to surfaces that are not vertical and/or that, in the alternative, thebottom surface 26 may be curved to form a gutter (not shown). The front edge ofbottom surface 26 is provided with alip 28 that extends along the length ofelongate backing 24, andlip 28,bottom surface 26, and backing 24 form atrough 30 that likewise extends along the length ofbacking 24 that is, as described below, at least partially filled with an oil-water mixture 22. - As shown at
reference numeral 32, thetop edge 34 ofbacking 24 is provided with an angled surface sloped downwardly frombacking 24 and extending outwardly frombacking 24 to overhanglip 28 that extends along the length ofbacking 24. As will be apparent fromFIG. 1 , the combination of the downward slope and overhang ofangled surface 32 provides effective protection oftrough 30, having the oil-water mixture 22 therein, against the entry of ambient moisture, dirt, and other elements;angled surface 32 provides a second function as set out in more detail below. Although not shown inFIG. 1 , and not necessarily required for effective sealing against environmental conditions and crawling insects, thetop edge 34 ofbacking 24 may be sealed against the exterior surface ofslab 12 by a bead of caulk that is applied at the juncture of the exterior of thetop edge 34 andslab 12. - The
trough 30 formed bylip 28,bottom surface 26 and backing 24 that extends along the length ofbarrier 10 is at least partially filled with a mixture of oil and water so that insects that crawl up the exterior of and overlip 28 fall into themixture 22 and are trapped therein. Any crawling insects that do manage to escape from the oil-water mixture 22 intrough 30 can only exittrough 30 from the front overlip 28, keeping them away fromslab 12, or up thebacking 24. Of course insects that do crawl up backing 24 encounterangled surface 32 and, if the insect crawls along the underside ofangled surface 32 without falling back into oil-water mixture 22, the insect next encounters the overhangingfront edge 36 ofangled surface 32. The overhangingfront edge 36 provides another difficult passage from a crawling insect such that the likelihood of the insect being able to navigate from the underside ofangled surface 32, aroundfront edge 36, and then onto the outside, or top, of theangled surface 32 ofbarrier 10 is small enough thatbarrier 10 acts to effectively exclude such insects from the interior of the building supported byslab 12. - In a presently preferred embodiment, the oil-
water mixture 22 is a mixture of mineral oil and water, mineral oil being preferred for its ready availability, low cost, and resistance to breakdown. Water is preferably added totrough 30 to a depth of about a quarter of an inch and the oil is then preferably added to the top of the water to act as a “cap” to reduce evaporation of water fromtrough 30. Those skilled in the art will recognize that even with the oil “cap,” it will be necessary to check and replenish the water intrough 30 periodically, and also that oils other than mineral oil may be used to advantage in connection with the insect repellant barrier of the present invention. Although it is important that the oil be relatively inflammable, other oils that may be utilized include essential (preferably mixed with a resin), vegetable (for instance, inedible oils such as palm or coconut oil), and fat-derived (tallow or fish oil, for instance) oils, but mineral oils are preferred because of their resistance to breakdown of the organic molecules. The oil in oil-water mixture 22 provides the added benefit of wetting the exterior of the body of a crawling insect that falls intotrough 30, increasing the likelihood that the insect will not escape. - Those skilled in the art who have the benefit of this disclosure will also recognize that certain changes can be made to the component parts of the insect repellant barrier of the present invention without changing the manner in which those component parts function and/or interact to achieve their intended result. All such changes, and others that will be clear to those skilled in the art from this description of the preferred embodiment(s) of the invention, are intended to fall within the scope of the following, non-limiting claims.
