Wildlife Deterrence

Challenge

Deer Deterrence

Deer intrusion in urban and rural areas poses significant challenges, particularly for agriculture, road safety, and residential gardens. In the UK, deer-related road accidents are estimated to cost over £50 million annually, with damage to crops and property adding to the financial burden. Traditional deterrence methods, such as fencing and repellents, are often ineffective in open areas and can be costly to maintain, leaving communities searching for a more reliable and sustainable solution.

Solution

AI-Driven Deer Deterrence

Our AI-powered deer deterrence system offers an effective and humane solution. Using sound and motion detection technology, the system activates upon detecting deer presence, emitting ultrasonic sounds and flashing lights. These stimuli, customizable in intensity and frequency, scare deer away without causing harm. Strategically deployable in large open areas and fields, the system provides a maintenance-free, long-term solution to protect crops, gardens, and roads from deer intrusions.

Deer Challenges Across the UK

A Growing Population

Over 2 million deer in the UK are causing increasing issues for agriculture, road safety, and communities. Deer-related challenges extend beyond rural areas, impacting urban gardens, infrastructure, highways, and railways.

Crops Under Threat

Deer consume over 1.5 million tonnes of crops annually, leading to food shortages and economic loss. Farmers face an estimated £100 million in agricultural damage each year.

Deer-Related Accidents

Over 74,000 road accidents are caused by deer annually in the UK. These accidents result in £50 million in vehicle repair costs and pose serious safety risks. Highways and railways are increasingly affected, raising safety concerns for both drivers and passengers.

Property Damage

Deer destroy gardens, fences, and residential landscapes, increasing repair costs for homeowners. Suburban areas face rising maintenance costs due to deer intrusion.

Challenge

Elephant Deterrence

Elephants often intrude into farmlands and residential areas in search of food, leading to crop destruction, property damage, and even human-elephant conflicts. This is particularly prevalent in regions close to wildlife habitats, where traditional methods like trenches, electric fences, or firecrackers prove either ineffective or unsustainable.

Solution

Effective Elephant Deterrence

Our AI-powered deterrence system uses sound and light technologies to create an environment that discourages elephants from entering restricted areas. By detecting elephant presence through motion sensors, the system emits low-frequency noises and pulsating lights that are harmless but effective in scaring them away. This scalable and maintenance-free solution ensures the safety of both humans and elephants while protecting crops and property.

Elephant Challenges Across India

Rising Human-Elephant Conflicts

Over 500 human lives are lost annually in India due to elephant encounters, with property and crop damage worsening the conflict in rural regions.

Agricultural Damage

Elephants destroy up to 1 million hectares of crops annually in regions like India and Sri Lanka, causing over £200 million in agricultural losses and threatening food security.

Infrastructure and Property Loss

Elephants damage homes, fences, and vital infrastructure, forcing communities to spend millions on repairs and protective measures.

Impact on Wildlife Habitats

Shrinking habitats push elephants into human settlements, escalating conflicts and posing long-term risks for both wildlife conservation and rural livelihoods.

Challenge

Cows Deterrence

Free-ranging or stray cows can damage crops, invade restricted zones, and disrupt traffic in urban and rural settings. Managing such intrusions becomes expensive and labor-intensive with conventional methods like fencing or manual intervention.

Solution

AI-Based Cow Deterrence

Our smart cow deterrence system leverages motion detection and AI-based sound recognition to identify cow presence and activate deterrents, such as ultrasonic sounds and mild light flashes. This humane approach ensures cows are redirected without causing harm, safeguarding agricultural areas, and urban zones effectively and affordably.

Cow Challenges Across India

Agricultural Crop Losses

Cows destroy up to £150 million worth of crops annually in India alone, reducing farmers' yields and impacting food supply chains.

Traffic Disruptions

Stray cows cause thousands of road accidents annually, disrupting traffic flow and leading to injuries, fatalities, and repair costs.

Property and Infrastructure Damage

Cattle intrusion damages fences, irrigation systems, and residential property, increasing maintenance costs for farmers and rural communities.

Impact on Livelihoods

Uncontrolled cattle intrusion forces small-scale farmers to incur significant losses, threatening their income and rural economies.

Challenge

Horse Deterrence

Horses entering unauthorized zones can pose risks to safety, especially near roads, farms, or event areas. They may cause property damage or accidents if not managed efficiently. Traditional barriers often prove ineffective or cumbersome.

Solution

AI-Powered Horse Deterrence

Our AI-driven deterrence solution combines advanced motion tracking and sound-based deterrents to prevent horse intrusions. It uses harmless stimuli, such as specific audio frequencies and subtle light flashes, to discourage horses from entering restricted areas. This system is easy to deploy and maintain, ensuring safe and humane control over horse intrusions.
