A rodent deterrent system for a pipe system, the pipe system including a T-junction and a midsection riser. The deterrent system for the T-junction includes a first mesh screen configured to surround a vertical portion of the T-junction and a second mesh screen configured to surround a horizontal portion of the T-junction. Also, the deterrent system for a perforated riser includes a mesh wrap sleeve configured to surround the midsection of the riser. Alternatively, the riser midsection sleeve can be lengthened so that the second mesh is not needed as the lengthened sleeve also performs the same function as the second screen.

A reinforced flexible seal (101 and 201) for sealing a gap or space, such as a gap or space between an edge of a wall, fence, door, door leaf or wing, port or window and a surface adjacent to the wall, fence, door, door leaf or wing, port or window is provided. The flexible seal may be used to provide a barrier below a door leaf or door wing in order to avoid entrance of for example unwanted animals. The reinforced flexible seal has a width and a length and comprises a flexible outer material (102a, 102b, 202a, 202b), and a plurality of elongated metal wires (103, 203) embedded in the flexible outer material and running substantially in a longitudinal direction of the reinforced flexible seal with at least part of said elongated metal wires arranged at a distance to each other. For at least one of the embedded elongated metal wires, at least part of said metal wire holds several bent, bulging or wavelike deformations in the longitudinal direction of the wire.

A seal deterrent assembly for deterring seals from climbing onto a structure in a marina includes a rope that is extendable between a floating object and a structure in a marina. A float is provided and a plurality of holes extends through the float. The holes are spaced apart from each other and are distributed along the float. The rope is laceable through the holes in the float for attaching the float to the rope. In this way the float can float in the water adjacent to the structure. A plurality of kelp plants is provided and each of the plants is coupled to and extends away from the float. In this way each of the kelp plants deters seals from climbing onto the structure.
