Administration of a wildlife repellant to protect an entity

An apparatus comprising:

• a detector to automatically detect an animal proximate to an entity based on sensor data from a plurality of sensors on the entity, wherein the plurality of sensors is to include one or more proximity sensors to generate proximity sensor data for an object that is to be located proximate to a vehicle, one or more weight sensors to generate weight sensor data for an object that is to be in contact with the vehicle, one or more image capture sensors to generate image sensor data for an object that is to be in motion adjacent to the vehicle, and one or more motion sensors to generate motion sensor data for an object that is to be in motion under the vehicle, and
• a protector to automatically administer a mechanical repellant from a protection device to repel the animal proximate to the entity.

At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• automatically detect an animal proximate to an entity based on sensor data from a plurality of sensors on the entity, wherein the processor is to generate proximity sensor data for an object that is to be located proximate to a vehicle, generate weight sensor data for an object that is to be in contact with the vehicle, generate image sensor data for an object that is to be in motion adjacent to the vehicle, and generate motion sensor data for an object that is to be in motion under the vehicle;
• and
• automatically administer a mechanical repellant from a protection device to repel the animal proximate to the entity.

A method comprising:

• automatically detecting an animal proximate to an entity based on sensor data from a plurality of sensors on the entity, the method including generating proximity sensor data for an object located proximate to a vehicle, generating weight sensor data for an object in contact with the vehicle, generating image sensor data for an object in motion adjacent to the vehicle, and generating motion sensor data for an object in motion under the vehicle;
• and
• automatically administering a mechanical repellant from a protection device to repel the animal proximate to the entity.
