A device for visually scaring animal species, in particular bird species includes means for generating at least one visual signal including at least one image, varying in size over time, which simulates approach via an increase in the size of the image. For example, the visual signal includes one of the following images: eyes, a disc, and a spiral.

A pest deterrent system including at least one processing device that determines a presence of a pest in accordance with sensor data from at least one sensor, determines a deterrent strategy, causes at least one deterrent to be activated in accordance with the deterrent strategy, monitors a response of the pest to the activated deterrent in accordance with sensor data from at least one sensor, and selectively modifies the deterrent strategy in accordance with the response of the pest.

An engine assembly comprising an engine and a pod surrounding the engine that is equipped, upstream according to the direction of entry of air into the engine, with a fan provided with blades, the pod having an upstream air intake. The engine assembly also comprises a display unit including at least one light ring arranged in the air intake upstream of the fan, the light ring including at least one row of light-emitting diodes and being configured to emit at least one light beam and to project it on the blades of the fan.

A wildlife damage prevention device and system are provided. The wildlife damage prevention system includes a wildlife deterrence unit and one or more sensor devices associated with the wildlife deterrence unit. The wildlife deterrence unit includes an inflatable device and a base unit. The one or more sensor devices are separate from the wildlife deterrence unit and distributed around a geographic region a user intends to protect from wildlife. The one or more sensor devices sense motion, and upon sensing motion, send a signal to a receiver at the base unit. The receiver activates a blower and/or a light also at the base unit. The blower inflates the inflatable device, and the light illuminates the inflatable device.

The invention relates to a biological pest control device comprising a cover (1) coupled above a capsule (b) containing beneficial insects or substances that assist in pest control, with a cavity (C) being defined between the cover (1) and the outer upper surface of the capsule (b), which cavity can house an element used to hang the biological control device. The device is suitable for use in agricultural and/or forest production and it can be supported on the branch of a tree or on an existing natural or artificial linear support. The proposed structure allows the device to be firmly secured to the support, with a lower centre of gravity, thereby protecting the beneficial insects or substances contained therein from rain and wind of any speed and from any direction.

The present invention provides a rope apparatus to deter maritime birds and rodents comprising a snakehead device, a receptacle and a means for firmly attaching the receptacle to a rope.

Systems and methods for deterring avian species from approaching a sensitive area. A determination is made that a bird is approaching a sensitive area. A predefined flight path is selected from a plurality of predefined flight paths based on the determination that the bird is approaching the sensitive area. Each of the predefined flight paths of the plurality of predefined flight paths is configured to avoid objects within the sensitive area. An unmanned aerial vehicle is instructed to traverse the predefined flight path that has been selected.
