Claim:
A DC ant and insect repeller comprising: a portable spool ( 8 ) wound with a predetermined plurality of the electromagnetic windings ( 3 ) of an electromagnet conductor wire ( 2 ); a portable transformer ( 10 ) positioned proximate the portable spool ( 8 ) for transforming predeterminedly high AC voltage to predeterminedly low AC voltage; a portable rectifier ( 11 ) positioned in electrical communication intermediate the portable transformer ( 10 ) and the electromagnet conductor wire ( 2 ) for converting the predeterminedly low AC voltage from AC to DC electricity; spool insulation positioned on the electromagnetic windings ( 3 ); the portable spool ( 8 ) being supported in design proximity to a targeted area ( 1 ) by at least one spool support ( 12 ); the DC ant and insect repeller is a small repeller ( 13 ) having a two-inch spool ( 14 ) with a length of approximately two inches intermediate a first end ( 15 ) and a second end ( 16 ); the electromagnet conductor wire ( 2 ) has a diameter of approximately 0.009 inches; the plurality of the electromagnetic windings ( 3 ) is 2,000 intermediate the first end ( 15 ) and the second end ( 16 ); the portable transformer ( 10 ) is structured for transforming 240 volts of AC electricity to 24 volts of AC electricity; the portable transformer ( 10 ) is in electrical communication of the 24 volts of AC electricity to the portable rectifier ( 11 ); the portable rectifier ( 11 ) is structured and positioned in electrical communication for converting the 24 volts of AC electricity to 24 volts of DC electricity in the electromagnet conductor wire ( 2 ) for causing an electrical resistance of approximately 80 ohms and heat of approximately 140° F. of the electromagnet conductor wire ( 2 ) between off cycles; a flow cycler ( 26 ) positioned in electrical communication with the portable transformer ( 10 ); the flow cycler ( 26 ) having on-and-off flow cycling of electrical current to the DC ant and insect repeller with duration of on-timing and off-timing for causing predeterminedly on-and-off cyclic current and heat for repelling ants and other insects; the on-timing having predeterminedly short duration for preventing accumulation of undesired heater-level heat for heating the target area ( 1 ) predeterminedly; the off-timing duration of the flow cycler ( 26 ) being timed for repelling return of the ants and other insects predeterminedly with recycling of the on-timing; and the off-timing being timed predeterminedly for allowing dissipation of any undesired heat of the target area ( 1 ) between on-timing cycles with the flow cycler ( 26 .
