Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus for scaring deer and other unwanted animals away from agricultural crop production areas using unnatural audible and visual stimuli. The invention generally comprises a substantially hollow housing having a removable top portion mounted atop a rigid support frame member. The exterior of the housing includes a plurality of light and sound emitting devices attached thereto, in addition to at least two rotatably mounted elongated arms having a hollow interior portion with a flowable metal particulate contained therein for producing unnatural sounds upon rotation of such for scaring deer and other unwanted animals away. The interior portion of the housing includes an electronic controller in electrical connection with a power relay for energizing the aforementioned electrical components, along with a motor assembly for imparting rotational motion to the rotatably mounted elongated arms on the exterior of the housing. The apparatus is generally powered by a battery connected to a solar charging panel.
