Aussi device not music to deer’s ears
Shu Roo
If it can protect drivers from darting kangaroos in the Outback, than taking care of deer in Ontario should be a piece of cake.
That’s more or less what Australia-based Shu Roo had in mind when launching its product of the same name in North America. Proven to be effective against Kangaroos, the company is hoping the product will also take as a prevention device to avoid deer accidents on North American highways.
The unit consists of a sound generator that mounts under the hood and a speaker system that attaches to the front of a car or truck. The Shu Roo puts out a high frequency varying signal inaudible to the human ear. However, it is pitched to scare wild animals such as kangaroos, deer and other wildlife away from the path of approaching vehicles.
The units are to be marketed through mail order and through catalogs and parts stores.
