ABSTRACT:
A horn powered by a compressed air canister and/or battery pack, that emits sounds that are too high for humans to hear (ultrasonic) and/or too low for humans to hear (infrasonic), to act as a means for repelling animals that can hear these sounds (e.g., mammals, birds, reptiles, or insects), combined with a strobe light powered by the battery pack, that can temporarily blind animals. The canister may contain air or other gases. Ultrasonic and infrasonic sounds may alternate. There can be different sound patterns adapted to different species of animals. It may be hand-held and operated by push button or other means. It can also enable lost persons to send signals to rescuers. It may have a strap for carrying, that can be placed around a user's neck. Alternatively, it may have a clip that can be used to attach the device to a belt, back pack, bicycle, etc.
