A reflective bird deterrent, having a base, a center post attached to and extending up from the base, and first and second spinner assemblies having a plurality of fins rotatably attached to the center post. The plurality of fins on the first spinner are angled such that they spin in the opposite direction of the plurality of fins on the second spinner, and the plurality of fins on the first spinner and the plurality of fins on the second spinner are reflective.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for nonlinear parametric manipulation of a biological object, e.g. small animals, such as birds and rodents, based on the use of nonlinear parametric effects of auditory organs, whereby the influence on the biological object is caused by two acoustic signals with different carrier frequencies, the carrier frequency of the first acoustic signal is fixed, the carrier frequency of the second acoustic signal is wobbling, the first and the second carrier frequency are in the range of the maximum sensitivity of the auditory pathway of the objects, the difference between these frequencies is in the range of the infra-threshold resonance frequencies of the biological object, a parametrically synchronized effect with a pulsed, modulated, optical, incoherent field in the visible wave range is also exerted on the biological objects, and whereby the duration of the pulses as well as the frequency of their repetition are similar to the parameters of pulsed acoustic fields.

A system and method for reducing bird collisions with glazing utilizes a UV light source and a perforated opaque object. The UV light source is located adjacent an edge of a glass panel and is configured to project UV light rays onto a planar surface of the glass panel. The perforated opaque object is located between the UV light source and the planar surface of the glass panel, such that UV light rays passing through the perforated object cast onto the planar surface of the glass panel a UV shadow visible to birds and substantially invisible to humans.

A luminescent replica comprising a replica of a bird of prey is described. The bird of prey can be an owl, falcon or hawk. The bird of prey can be a great horned owl. The luminescent replica can include a luminescent material on a surface of the replica. The luminescent replica can include a luminescent material on a surface representing a ventral area of the bird of prey. The luminescent material can emit light having a wavelength of from about 600 nm to about 750 nm, and optionally, from about 450 nm to about 500 nm. The luminescent material can absorb ultraviolet radiation having a wavelength of less than about 400 nm. The luminescent material may include a porphyrin or derivative of a porphyrin. A kit and method for making the luminescent replica are also described.

A system includes a server that stores pest data for each region, and a vehicle control device that receives pest data related to a current location of the vehicle from the server, and controls at least one of a sound output device or a lighting device according to driving or stopping based on the pest data received from the server. The system may actively prevent pests from approaching the vehicle according to the location and driving conditions of the vehicle to improve driver satisfaction and prevent the vehicle from being damaged.
