Scare Devices Protect Livestock from Predators

Defenders helps to place radio-activated guard boxes with ranchers to protect livestock. The scare devices are triggered by a signal from a wolf’s radio collar. When a collared wolf approaches a pasture equipped with the scare device, the collar triggers the device to flash lights and emits loud noises that scare wolves away from the site and discourage their return. This concept, proposed by a rancher, has become one of the most successful nonlethal methods for dealing with predating wolves.
