Pest deterrent device

A pest deterrent system comprising:

• a control hub defining an operation radius, the control hub comprising:
• a sensor housing;
• a first sensor and a second sensor positioned within the sensor housing, the first sensor and the second sensor configured to:
• detect a presence of an animal within a detected area within the operation radius;
• and
• in response to detecting the presence of the animal, transmit a detection signal;
• a first controller communicably coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor, the first controller configured to:
• receive the detection signal from the first sensor and the second sensor;
• in response to receiving the detection signal, select at least one peripheral module of a plurality of peripheral modules to actuate within a deterrence area, the deterrence area being different from the detected area;
• and
• in response to receiving the detection signal, transmit a deterrent request to the least one peripheral module;
• and
• the plurality of peripheral modules in communication with the control hub and configured to be positioned within the operation radius, each peripheral module in the plurality of peripheral modules comprising:
• an actuator housing separate from the sensor housing;
• an actuator positioned within the actuator housing;
• and
• an actuator controller in communication with the first controller, the actuator controller configured to:
• receive the deterrent request from the first controller;
• and
• in response to the receiving the deterrent request, transmit a deterrent command to the actuator so as to cause the actuator to actuate and generate a deterrent stimuli.

A method comprising:

• detecting, by a sensor of a sensor module, a presence of an animal at a first location within an operation radius defined by the sensor module;
• transmitting, by the sensor module to an actuator module positioned separate from the sensor module within the operation radius, a detection signal in response to the detecting the presence of the animal;
• receiving, by the actuator module from the sensor module, the detection signal;
• transmitting, by the actuator module to an actuator, a deterrent command in response to receiving the detection signal so as to actuate the actuator;
• and
• generating, by the actuator, a deterrent stimuli at a second location, the second location different from the first location.
