A flying insect deterrence system and device is provided. The flying insect deterrence device may include a rotary element, a vertical column, a cordage, a cordage element, and a motor. The flying insect deterrence system may include a base and an insect deterrence device. The insect deterrence device may include a vertical column, a rotary element, a motor, a cordage, and a cordage element. The rotary device is located on top of the vertical column and is powered by the motor that spins a cordage attached to the rotary device to deter flying insects from flying or landing in the area.

A scarecrow includes a scarecrow body corresponding generally in shape to a body of a live animal; and an assembled and balanced hollow head of molded plastic construction corresponding in shape to a head of the live animal. The assembled and balanced head includes a front face portion and a rear head portion fixed together to form the head. The front face portion has a first thickness and the rear head portion has a second thickness, the front face portion and the rear head portion being unequal in weight, with the rear head portion having selected areas on an interior surface thereof that are thicker than the first thickness and define an offset weight so that the assembled head is substantially balanced as assembled. An unstable mount is disposed between the body and the head onto which the head is rotatably mounted for 360-degree movement of the head to the body without interfering with free movement of the head, the head being balanced on the unstable mount.

The present invention generally relates to an inflation device having a base with a top surface containing an aperture and a control device, a motor having a shaft mounted within the base and controlled by the control device, a propeller fixedly secured to the motor to produce an upward thrust, an inflation member secured to the base, circumscribing the aperture, and arranged for inflation by the upward thrust of the propeller, a plurality of wireless motion sensors spaced in the vicinity of the base to detect the presence of movement and to communicate with the control device to initiate inflation of the inflation member, and a random time generator to control random inflation of the inflation member. A method of using the inflation device is also provided in both a tactical training and a wildlife mitigation setting.

The present invention relates to an insect repellant device. The device includes a repellant for repelling insects and a motor for driving the repellant. A coupler is provided for coupling the motor to a bottle. Advantageously, the coupler may be coupled to an existing bottle, such as a wine bottle, on a crowded table thereby occupying no additional room on the table.

An apparatus for deterring birds and other animals from an area is provided, including a sheet of a material, such as a metallic material, having a first end comprising a hole through the sheet, a second end separated from the first end by a length of the sheet and a width. The apparatus further includes a cable comprising a first loop at one end inserted through the hole in the first end of the sheet configured to attach the cable to the sheet and a second loop at another end and separated from the first loop. The second loop forms an opening having a diameter greater than the width of the sheet. The sheet can be inserted and passed through the second loop, which defines a third loop to secure the cable to a structure from which the sheet is suspended, by tightening the third loop around the structure.

An animal repelling device is disclosed that may include a first mounting bracket and a second mounting bracket, each of which includes an upper section and a lower section. The upper section may include a vertical tab, a notch formed in the vertical tab, and ribs coupled to opposing sides of the vertical tab. The lower section may include a foot coupled to a sidewall, the sidewall comprising a curved inner surface configured to mateably couple with a fence. A roller may be disposed between, be rotatably coupled to, and extend axially between, the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket, the roller comprising an aligner that biases the roller back to an initial at rest position. An attachment clip may be releasably coupled to the notch of the vertical tab.
