Apparatus and associated methods relate to a pest repelling magnetic field generating device (PRD) having a temperature sensor to detect the temperature of a solenoid coil during operation. The detected temperature to be used to ensure that the PRD operates within an ideal temperature range. Additionally, a fan is oriented within a housing of the PRD to force the flow of air from inside a housing of the PRD to outside a housing the PRD. In an illustrative example, the PRD may shut off if the temperature of the solenoid coil moves outside the ideal temperature range. By operating the PRD within an ideal temperature range, the service life of the PRD may be extended. Further, the fan may mitigate dust collection within the housing of the pest repelling magnetic field generating device.

A shark repellent system includes a barrier, a controller and at least one remote device wirelessly connected to the barrier. The barrier is configured to be positioned in the ocean and includes a plurality of electronic pods configured to be spaced apart along a length of the barrier. Each pod has an electrode attached thereto and the pods are configured to apply electrical pulses to the electrodes to form an electric field between adjacent electrodes, thereby repelling sharks from the vicinity of the electrode. The system includes a mooring arrangement for securing the barrier to a structure, vessel or coastal feature. The controller is configured to transmit firing instructions to the pods in order to coordinate the electrical pulses generated, and is configured to monitor operation or status of the pods. The remote device permits a user to remotely control and monitor the barrier, individual pods or the controller.

The invention relates to a system for deterring aquatic animals. The system includes a plurality of deterrent modules which are spaced apart from, and interconnected with, each other, and which are, in use, positioned/located in a body of liquid at spaced apart positions/locations. The deterrent modules are configured to generate an electro-magnetic field(s) between the spaced apart deterrent modules such that, when the deterrent modules are located in the body of liquid, an electro-magnetic field(s) is generated between the deterrent modules within the body of liquid, to thereby form a non-physical barrier between the deterrent modules within the body of liquid. which deters aquatic animals. The system also includes a management module which is configured to monitor the operation or functioning of each deterrent module by receiving data from each deterrent module. The data received from each deterrent module relates to an operation or functioning of the particular deterrent module.

A non-lethal animal shepherding active denial system of directed electromagnetic energy having at least one emitter to provide low-energy radiation to deter and shepherd birds and other species away from dangerous areas such as airports or wind turbines. The directed electromagnetic energy may be emitted in a conical shape to target a precise area and to define at least one denial zone and at least one shepherding zone. The shepherding zone may create a pathway to shepherd animals away from the denial zone to allow the birds to safely escape from the denial zone. Objects within a shepherding zone are subjected to dielectric heating, such that the radiation penetration is very shallow, only heating the surface of the skin or fur. By employing a large spatial swath, lower energies (<1 kW), and time-varying intensity, birds and other species can be shepherded away from regions of interest.

A pet location monitoring and deterrent system is provided. The system includes a first pet collar assembly that transmits a first RF signal. The system includes a first pillar assembly having a first control module, a first RF receiver module, an infrared photodetector array, a first wireless transceiver circuit, and a first warning light. The system includes a second pillar assembly having a second control module, a second RF receiver module, an infrared phototransmitter array, and a second wireless transceiver circuit. The first and second pillar assemblies are disposed a predetermined distance apart from one another such that a warning area is defined in front of and proximate to the first and second pillar assemblies and a keep-out area is defined behind and proximate to the first and second pillar assemblies.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a novel deterrent barrier based on the phenomenon of fluid cavitation. A drive unit comprising a motor and a propeller are configured for inducing cavitation in water. The cavitation takes the form of a rotationally confined vertical column of cavitation bubbles extending from the propeller, and a one-dimensional series of drive units spanning the width of a waterway may provide an effective, environmentally friendly and non-lethal barrier against entry of target fish species.
