Repellant string light

Abstract

A system includes a first power cord and at least one heated repellant dispersal unit electrically connected to the first power cord that increases an evaporation rate of a repellant within the heated repellant dispersal unit.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system comprising:
 a first power cord; and   at least one heated repellant dispersal unit electrically connected to the first power cord that increases an evaporation rate of a repellant within the heated repellant dispersal unit.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first power cord does not have a manual power switch to activate or deactivate the at least one heated repellent dispersion port. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first power cord is electrically connected to a wireless power coupler. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one heated repellant dispersion port is electrically connected to the first power cord via a wireless power coupler. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a second power cord physically connected to but electrically isolated from the first power cord, the second power cord having at least one light receptacle thereon. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the first and second power cords are physically connected such that the at least one heated repellant dispersal unit disperses repellent into an area lighted by a bulb in the at least one light receptacle. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one clip-on light having a clip that is sized to selectively attach to the first power cord, and further containing a battery that powers an attached light bulb. 
     
     
         8 . A system comprising:
 a first power cord;   a plurality of heated repellant dispersal units electrically connected to the first power cord that increase an evaporation rate of a repellant within the heated repellant dispersal units; and   a plurality of light receptacles affixed to the first power cord such that the light receptacles illuminate an area below the power cord into which the plurality of heated repellant dispersion ports disperse repellent.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the plurality of light receptacles is powered by the first power cord. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the plurality of light receptacle is not powered by the first power cord. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the plurality of light receptacles is powered by a second electrical power cord physically connected to but electrically isolated from the first electrical power cord. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the plurality of light receptacles is battery powered. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the plurality of light receptacles are affixed to the first power cord via detachable clips. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the plurality of heated repellant dispersal units each contain one or more floats visible outside the plurality of heated repellant dispersal units indicating a level of a repellant contained in the respective heated repellant dispersal unit. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the first power cord has a wireless coupling to a household power outlet. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the plurality of heated repellant dispersal units are electrically connected to the first power cord via a wireless coupling. 
     
     
         17 . A method comprising:
 providing a first power cord; and   electrically connecting a plurality of heated repellant dispersal units to the first power cord, the plurality of heated repellent dispersal units increasing an evaporation rate of a repellant within the plurality of heated repellant dispersal units;   arranging the power cord over an area to be protected by the repellant such that the entire area is infused by repellant from at least one of the heated repellent dispersal units, or is protected by intrusion from pests by an area infused by repellant from at least one of the heated repellent dispersal units.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising providing a plurality of light receptacles on the first power cord such that at least part of the area to be protected is lighted by the plurality of light receptacles. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 providing a second power cord;   physically attaching the second power cord to the first power cord while keeping the first and second power cords electrically isolated; and   powering the plurality of light receptacles via the second power cord.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 attaching the plurality of light receptacles to the first power cord via a detachable clip; and   powering the light receptacles via a plurality of internal batteries.
