Deer Deterrent
Problem
- Sun City deer eat flowering shrubs
- Deterrents include: garlic, sprinklers, soap, hair, egg, sour milk, animal urine…
- Deer learn and adapt (2-3 weeks?)
- Deterrents fail over time and need changing
- This can be costly and time consuming
==========
Deer Deterrent
Solution requirements
- Detect deer
- Deter deer
- Rotate deterrent method
- Document by recording pictures
- Automated
- Inexpensive
==========
Deer Deterrent
Raspberry Pi based device
- Motion sensors
- Alarm circuits?
- Sound/speaker
- Lights
- Motion?
- Random selection
- Camera (save images)
==========
