VIBRATING BIRD DETERRENT DEVICE
20170311584 · 2017-11-02 ·

A bird deterrent device is configured for use in common garden bird-feeders. A flexible vibrating tip is electrically connected to a power supply and a wireless receiver via electrical wiring. A remote transmitter is operable to send a signal to the wireless receiver. When the wireless receiver receives the signal, the vibrating tip produces a vibration to generate visual, auditory and structural vibrations in the associated feeder, thereby scaring away targeted undesirable birds.

MOTORIZED TWO-PIECE HEAD FOR OWL
20230172186 · 2023-06-08 · ·

A scarecrow includes a scarecrow body corresponding generally in shape to a body of a live animal and an assembled hollow scarecrow head of molded plastic construction corresponding in shape to a head of the live animal. The assembled head includes a front face portion and a separate rear head portion fixed together to form the head, the front face portion having a front receiver and the rear head portion having a rear receiver. The scarecrow includes a motor having a rotatable motor shaft; a mounting insert fixed to the motor with the motor shaft extending below the mounting insert, the mounting insert received by the front receiver and the rear receiver to fix the mounting insert to the head; and a mounting bracket fixed to the scarecrow body and having a motor shaft receiver into which the rotatable motor shaft is received. Rotation of the motor shaft rotates the assembled scarecrow head relative to the scarecrow body.

Housefly deterrent device
11452287 · 2022-09-27 ·

A housefly deterrent device is an apparatus used to deter houseflies from approaching a particular area. The apparatus is also configured to mount to an appropriate area for ease of positioning and maintenance and does not rely on chemical compounds to affect houseflies. The apparatus includes a visual deterrent, an orienting fixture, and an attachment mechanism. The visual deterrent is a structure which mimics the physical appearance of the housing of various predators of houseflies sufficiently to affect the general behavior of houseflies. The orienting fixture is a mount which supports and arranges the visual deterrent in position, preferably adjacent to a door or a building entrance. The attachment mechanism is an arrangement of components that allows for connection of the orienting fixture to surfaces or relevant structures proximal to a target housefly protection zone. The visual deterrent is removable, facilitating adjustment, and general maintenance.

Bird deterring structure and method
11350623 · 2022-06-07 ·

Systems, devices, apparatus and methods for deterring birds and other animals from structures such as but not limited to cell towers, communications towers, buildings and areas to be protected. An effigy of the species to be deterred is suspended from an upper suspending structure and a lower suspending structure. The effigy can be molded or otherwise produced from rubber, plastic, or any other suitable material. The effigy can contain an internal supporting structure attached to a first cable and a second cable for suspending from the suspending structures. Either of the cables, or both, can include tensioning lines. Other embodiments include hangers and stands that can be attached to structures such as towers, buildings and the like. A C shaped hanger can be used for hanging an effigy which allows for the effigy to be able to move, such as rotate and simulate a live bird. A stand can allow for the effigy to pivot up and down which can simulate beak rising and falling, as well as the entire effigy being able to rotate in place.
