Abstract
An animal monitoring and deterrent device includes a lure body, one or more sensors, an animal deterrent mechanism, a mounting fixture, and a controller. The lure body is configured to attract the attention of a pest animal. The sensors are configured to detect movement or presence of the pest animal proximal to the device. The animal deterrent mechanism includes a source of animal deterrent and an animal deterrent delivery system. The animal deterrent delivery system is fluidly connected to the source of animal deterrent and is configured to disperse the animal deterrent upon activation of the animal deterrent delivery system. The mounting allows at least one of rotational, pivotal, or translational motion of the lure body. The controller is communicatively connected to the one or more sensors and the animal deterrent mechanism and analyzes data generated by the sensors to initiate release of the animal deterrent.
