Pesticide, poison and various other chemicals are commonly used by various farmers to ward off the pests and rodents that might damage the crops or the harvest. Even if it shows results it is a temporary process and has to be repeated, which eventually ends up affecting the fertility level and in turn producing of lesser quality. It shows results by killing the pest so it is just a matter of time before another takes the previous one's place. If accidentally consumed, they are dangerous to humans so there is always a factor of risk. This project is developed to fabricate a cheap and efficient device that can replace the above methods not just temporarily but permanently. This device uses ultrasonic waves in unfriendly frequencies for pests so that they are affected when they enter the range of it and are left with no other choice but to leave. This also makes their nervous system unstable so it even makes the place not fit for breeding. This is considered a better alternative because it does not kill the pests but just wards them away permanently so there is no killing of natural pests. It is also proven that these frequencies do not affect humans or the crops in any way so the fertility and quality are not at all damaged or affected by the installation. The usage of solar power makes it easily portable as there is no requirement for wiring.
