Driveway alert deer deterrent experiment

off the shelf motion detection being deployed as electronic deer deterrent


Youtube user rchopp had some luck recently using the above driveway alert system to keep deer out of his garden.

He simply put the receiver in a ziplock bag and hung it next to the motion detection unit near his garden.

Since our deer pressure is extreme I would consider making a modification that allowed one to switch the alert noise to something more harsh and scary, or better yet make the alert also trigger a mechanical gizmo that would activate and provide motion for a minute or two.

Expect to pay 30 dollars unless you catch it on sale.

Another nice feature I didn't mention about this solution is the fact that it's battery powered, which might function as a good back up to a mechanical deer deterrent system like the ones I blog about here that require 110 volts of electricity.
