A shield for biasingly self-attaching to a duplex electrical receptacle in a wall without having to be plugged into the duplex electrical receptacle or having to enter the wall and for completely concealing the duplex electrical receptacle to completely hide and thereby protect the duplex electrical receptacle from contaminants, said shield comprising: a shell; wherein said shell is generally rectangular parallelepiped shaped for biasingly self-attaching by pressing at six points of contact on the duplex electrical receptacle in the wall without having to be plugged into the duplex electrical receptacle or having to enter the wall and for completely concealing the duplex electrical receptacle to completely hide and thereby protect the duplex electrical receptacle from contaminants; wherein said shell being generally rectangular parallelepiped shaped has: a) three large side walls; and b) two opposing small end walls; and wherein said two opposing large side walls of said shell and said two opposing small end walls of said shell are slightly concaved so as to allow said two opposing large side walls of said shell and said two opposing small end walls of said shell to be normally biased inwardly yet be forced outwardly by the duplex electrical receptacle when said shell covers the duplex electrical receptacle against biasing of said two opposing large side walls of said shell and said two opposing small end walls of said shell, and in doing so, said shell is self-attached to the duplex electrical receptacle in the wall without having to be plugged into the duplex electrical receptacle or having to enter the wall and thereby completely conceals the duplex electrical receptacle to completely hide and thereby protect the duplex electrical receptacle from the contaminants.
