An apparatus for deterring flies by reversing their flight path has a transparent container that includes a plurality of outwardly facing planar surfaces. A liquid, preferably water, is disposed in the container. A penny or similar planar object formed of copper is preferably secured at each outwardly facing planar surface. Planar objects formed of a material other than copper or having a different color, shape, or varying degree of reflectivity can be used instead of or along with the penny. A hook or other means for hanging the container is provided. An optional battery or AC powered motor may be included to rotate the device around a center vertical axis. A less expensive version that is formed of a flexible transparent plastic container is also shown and described. The containers are either filled with liquid and sealed or are fillable by the user.

A wildlife warning system that comprises at least two independent warning devices, wherein each warning device has an electric power supply, at least one signal generator, a microcontroller for controlling the signal generator, and a communication means for wireless communication with other warning devices and/or with a base station for the purpose of forming a wireless network of wildlife warning devices.

An animal deterrent device includes an elongated carrier having an internal cavity. A conductive trace can be coupled to the carrier by a first fastener that extends from the conductive trace to the cavity, which prevents water from contacting the fastener and shorting the conductive trace.

The invention relates to a method for producing a bird protection device arid to a bird protection device. According to the invention, a method for producing a bird protection device is proposed, wherein the bird protection device is made of an at least partially transparent material and contains an optical structure visible to a bird's eye. Here, the method comprises a radiation input, wherein the radiation input is implemented on and/or in the partially transparent material for forming the optical structure. The radiation input is preferably laser radiation. Suitable lasers for the radiation input are, for example, CO2 lasers with a wavelength of 1064 nm, picosecond lasers with a wavelength of 532 nm or nanosecond lasers with a wavelength of 532 nm. In one embodiment of the invention, the bird protection device furthermore comprises an element for increasing the contrast, wherein, for forming the optical structure, the radiation input is implemented on and/or in the element for increasing the contrast.

Described herein is a deterrence system for deterring animals from a vicinity of an environment monitoring apparatus, the system includes: a detector system having at least one sensor configured to generate a presence signal indicative of the presence of an object within a predefined vicinity of the environment monitoring apparatus; a deterrence processing system; and a repulsion system, wherein the deterrence processing system is configured to: monitor the presence signal; determine, from the presence signal, the presence of an object within the predefined vicinity of the environment monitoring apparatus; and communicate a command for the repulsion system to perform a sequence of one or more repulsion events actions in response to determining that an object is present, and wherein the repulsion system is configured to: perform one or more repulsion events responsive to receipt of the command from the deterrence processing system.

Fly Balls repel files because flies are frightened and confused by the multiple thousands of reflective images they see whenever they are in a Fly Balls' no flies zone. A combination of a flies 4,000 eyes; faceted bead(s) reflections; and multiple water molecule reflections create a visual reflective predator threat to a fly.

The present invention is an insect repellent assembly comprising of a light source, a transparent container having a quantity of liquid, typically water, inside the container, and a mount that positions the light source so as to be approximately centered with a surface of the liquid, so that about half the light source is below the surface and the remaining half is above the surface. The amount of liquid is not important, other than it cannot fill the entire container. The container is configured to surround the light source so that light emitted by the light source must pass through the container and in one embodiment the container is disposed as a plurality of containers surrounding the light source. A method of use is also provided.
