for seeing at dawn and dusk. The results of the study come as
no surprise for the Brandenburger Landesjagdverband
(Brandenburg State Hunting Association). “Our hunters have
been installing blue reflectors on trees along roads at their own
expense for quite some time in order to prevent collisions
between drivers and game,” says managing director Georg
Baumann. “This idea helps us more than game fences along
roads that block the movement of animals and are unacceptable
from a wildlife biology perspective.” While wildlife crossings
familiar from motorways would be a solution, building such a
crossing every 500 metres in Brandenburg is not feasible.
Functionality
The device automatically emits a light sequence (3x blue against wildlife)
at night and during twilight hours, serving as a natural and permanent
barrier. Blue occurs very rarely in nature (flora and fauna), and indicates
danger for animals. Most nocturnal animals avoid this region. Due to the
additional LED light, the deterrent effect of this device is activated sooner
and more permanently compared to conventional reflectors installed
along roads. It can effectively prevent wildlife damage to vehicles, in
gardens and forests, and to crops. Ideal as a preventive wildlife deterrent.
Conventional reflectors are only effective when struck by car headlights,
which may be too late if wild animals are already at the edge of the road.
Our device serves as a continuous deterrent since it flashes
autonomously.
