Present invention is a system and method for chasing birds and other unwanted pest animals from a particular area. A robot is programmed to move toward the pest animal within a geofenced area until the pest animal leaves the geofenced area.

A motorized, floating device is associated with another aquatic device that carries a passenger or passengers (associated aquatic device). The invention comprises components such as one or more magnetic field emitters that deter aquatic animals from approaching the associated aquatic device without interfering with the operation of the associated aquatic device. The associated aquatic device may be a surfboard, a raft, a personal watercraft, or other similar small craft that floats in water. The invention may be used with larger boats and other watercraft. The motorized aquatic animal deterrent is tethered to the associated aquatic device to follow movement of the associated aquatic device but is spaced apart from the associated aquatic device.

A portable bird scare device uses airflow to create random movement of a sock. For example, a portable bird scare device can be constructed from a toolbox, marine fan, waterproof switch, deep-cycle battery, fuse, ripstop nylon tube, plumbing pipe and plumbing pipe connectors. A switch can control power between the fan and a battery protected by the fuse. The fan can drive air from within the toolbox through pipe and connectors to the ripstop nylon tube. By controlling the dimensions of the ripstop nylon tube, the ripstop nylon tube can be made to alternatively rise and collapse. By constructing the bird scare device in this manner, it can be made to fit the needs of an airport for a portable, all day, quiet device that can be placed in fields and within confined spaces (such as under bridges, within window wells, etc.) to scare birds due to the movement.

Methods, systems and apparatuses are disclosed for attracting and/or repelling animals, more particularly methods systems and apparatuses for deploying and retrieving decoys, such as, for example, waterfowl decoy displays typically used in hunting, and particularly to attract overflying waterfowl.

A scarecrow mount for mounting a scarecrow to a first support, the scarecrow having a hollow base with an aperture formed on a bottom of the hollow base. The scarecrow mount includes a first rigid leg of unitary construction and mountable to an upper surface of the first support and having a scarecrow holder formed thereon and configured for installation to the scarecrow through the aperture on the bottom of the scarecrow to engage the bottom of the scarecrow and apply a spring tension to hold the scarecrow on the leg. The scarecrow holder is configured as an elongate double curved member having a proximal end directly connected to the first leg and an opposite free end. The scarecrow holder is shaped to have an upward curve just outward of the proximal end and an oppositely extending downward curve just inward of the free end, such that the free end is angled upwardly away from the first leg.
