This article discusses a newly developed device called the ‘Snake Detector Barrier’ that helps keep snakes away from homes and other areas.
There’s some good news for those scared of snakes! A group of scientists from BRA Bihar University in Muzaffarpur has created a cool device called the ‘Snake Detector Barrier’ that helps keep snakes away from homes, farms, and warehouses. This invention not only protects people from snake bites but also helps conserve snake populations.
This device was developed by Professor Manendra Kumar and Dr. Braj Kishore Prasad Singh from the University’s Zoology Department. They have patented their design in the UK, which is a big achievement for the scientific community in Bihar. This means their invention is recognized internationally, making it even more exciting!
The ‘Snake Detector Barrier’ uses a special two-layer system made from mild steel that does not rust. Each unit is self-controlled and contains a mix of pebbles or sand with some carbolic acid or natural oils like clove and citronella. This mixture gives off a strong smell that keeps snakes at bay.
When the smell starts to fade, the device sends out an alert using LED lights and wireless signals. It even has a solar heat plate option to help spread the smell better during colder weather. The device is easy to install and costs around Rs 1500, with refill costs being just Rs 40 to 50 every 15 days.
This device could be a game-changer in India, where around 60,000 people die from snake bites every year. Its introduction promises to improve safety for people while also maintaining balance in the environment.
