An active conductor 210 is disposed on top of the support surface 220, with an electrically insulating material 230 interposed between the active conductor 210 and the support surface 220. The active conductor 210 is a highly conductive material. A voltage is supplied by a power source 120 through the active terminal 122 to the active conductor 210. The active conductor is disposed flush, slightly below or slightly above a support surface and protects against pests and vermin.
