ABSTRACT:
The animal repellent apparatus provides a safety reflector with a solar powered ultrasonic signal audible to deer and other animals. The apparatus is used in place of currently existing reflectors and is of like shape and size. The ultrasonic signal is repulsive to such animals and thereby wards them away from roads that use the apparatus. The low profile, impact resistant apparatus has a reflector on each side for visibility to motorists in either direction of traffic flow. While differing little from typical reflectors in outward appearance, the apparatus is internally equipped with a rechargeable battery, protected solar panel, and a sound chip for emitting the ultrasonic signal. Since the apparatus requires no patterned deployment, installation is straightforward and requires no measured or other particular arrangement. The apparatus can be installed sequentially, or sporadically.
