Abstract
The movement of animals may be controlled by recording a sound which initiates movement in an animal and combining that movement initiating sound with additional sounds to produce music. A preferred embodiment uses the sound of one or more active dragonflies in combination with at least one of instrumental notes and sounds of nature to repel mosquitoes, flies and other closely related insects while attracting or entertaining humans.
Claims19
An apparatus for repelling an animal while simultaneously entertaining a human, comprising:
- an auditory signal replicating an acoustic signal emanating from a predator of said animal;
- a sequence of sounds that when acoustically reproduced in tandem with said auditory signal produces a musical composition;
- a means for storing said auditory signal with said sequence of sounds for electronic reproduction of said musical composition on demand;
- and
- a means for acoustically reproducing said musical composition in the presence of said animal and said human.
A method for selectively initiating movement of an animal species with respect to a sound reproducer without damaging or consequentially altering a habitat, comprising the steps of:
- selecting an animal species to be affected;
- identifying a natural acoustic source which selectively affects said animal species movement;
- making at least one sound recording of said natural acoustic source;
- mixing said at least one natural acoustic source recording with at least one musical recording;
- storing said at least one natural acoustic source recording and said at least one musical recording;
- and
- reproducing said mixed recording in the presence of said selected animal species, and, responsive thereto, initiating movement therein.
A method suited to selectively repel mosquitoes from a region without leaving physical or chemical residue within a habitat while simultaneously creating an attractant for humans, comprising the steps of:
- making a sound recording of an active dragonfly;
- associating said active dragonfly recording with a musical score;
- storing said sound recording and said musical score;
- and
- reproducing said sound recording and said associated musical score to produce music.
