Badger deterrent trials in UK
Lasers are being investigated to examine their usefulness in deterring small mammals from areas of land as an alternative to using pesticides and rodenticides. In this video we see a Badger walking along the edge of the field, the laser is used as a non-physical interaction with the Badger so as to make it change its path. This is a demonstration of the ability of lasers to deter animals from a path when in the open, showing their usefulness in potentially keeping animals away from specific areas of land.
