Concord, NH -- July 10, 2008 -- Nocturnal animals can ruin gardens, attack livestock, infiltrate campsites and can even seek entry into your home. The Nite Guard is a solar powered, maintenance-free device that deters a host of night time predators with a simple principle—a flashing red light that mimics the eye of another animal. Studies have shown that predators fear being watched and stared at by other animals. It represents a challenge. Predators feel threatened and stay away from the area.

Duncraft, a leader in wild bird feeding products, originally offered Nite Guard to deter raccoons from destroying customers’ bird feeders at night. Sharon Dunn, president of Duncraft states: “Nite Guard is also effective against bears, a real problem in New England.  But we absolutely do not advocate feeding birds whenever bears are present!  We do recommend Nite Guard for keeping deer and raccoons off your birdfeeders and out of your vegetable and flower gardens. And it’s very effective at keeping owls away from purple martin houses and other nesting boxes, which is very important to our customers.”

But the Nite Guard is not just for people that feed and house birds. It deters coyotes, foxes, skunks, bobcats and weasels and a number of other evening visitors that threaten livestock and family pets, and it’s ideal for keeping skunks and raccoons out of campsites. The flashing red light also resembles an active security system which may help deter human intruders. The solar powered Nite Guard is compact and completely weatherproof. It automatically begins emitting its flashing red light at dusk and turns off with daylight. Four can be used on a 4x4 post for 360 degree protection or every 50 feet along a border fence. Complete instructions are included as well as telephone support.  The Nite Guard can be purchased online at www.duncraft.com .
