This update relates to the issue that we are currently investigating relating to the sound lure and the lure acting as a deterrent to possums or pest animals. Previously we showed initial indications that the lure was working, but we switched to recording HD Camera Footage to observe what was happening when the unit was activating when there were pest animals present.
Last night there were a considerable number of activations at deployment site one. In total we had ten visits during distinct time frames starting at 9:27pm and concluding at 1:14am. The previous evening we had a number of visits and were unsure if it was repeated visits from the same possum, last night we can confirm multiple visits from different possums as there was a mother and a baby clearly visible.
There was multiple interactions between possum and the site and the unit - with a variety of sounds of which the possum/s can be seen paying attention to the noise but clearly not fleeing or avoiding it. We are continuing to record and analyse this data and continue to work with this current sound profile before switching to a possum profile and sounds shortly, which we will continue to document.
