Deer Deterrence

Challange

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

We have developed a low-cost, battery-powered deer deterrence system using AI-based sound and motion detection. The system is designed to activate upon detecting deer presence, emitting a combination of ultrasonic sounds and visual deterrents, such as flashing lights. These features can be tailored with varying intensity, frequency, and patterns to scare away deer without causing harm. The system can be strategically deployed in large open spaces or agricultural fields, providing a long-term, maintenance-free solution to protect crops, property, and roads.
