Rodents are a huge problem in our daily lives and in our farms and getting relieve from them seems almost inevitable. They cause large scale damage to our crops, commodities and other useful things. Rodent repellents already exist, but due to their toxicity or high price, they aren’t feasible to use. In this paper, we have been able to design a microcontroller based rodent repelling robot using PIR sensor, micro-controller module, and a mechanism - which provide the system the capacity of patrolling the area of application (such as farm) to be kept rodent-free and dispense repellent stimuli in a predetermined pattern.
This device can be beneficial to farmers, storage house, and general public to repel these harmful rodents.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Rats and mice are among rodent commonly found in homes and on farmlands. Rodents constitute serious irritant nuisance that disturb humans and plants.
Rodents are among nature's most prolific mammalian breeders. Worldwide, 3.5 million rats are born every day. Female rats breed up to a dozen times in a year and produce, on average, a half-dozen offspring. Some litters total 20 or more. (1) The rat population in the United States isestimatedtobe1.25 billion rats, possibly more.
It is impossible to calculate the extent of the damage inflicted by rats. The scope of the damage however, is immense. They destroy standing crops and harvested grain causing huge food losses even before the crop leaves the farm. Structural damage is caused by burrowing and gnawing rats. Rats once put out the lights at Heathrow airport by gnawing through double-insulated power cables.
Beyond such economic damage, however, rats pose health hazards. The animals harbor the lice and fleas that spawn serious diseases such as typhus, trichinosis, infectious jaundice and the deadly plague (1).
Owing to such high nuisance value, rodent control products have never been short of buyers. Traditional rodent control methods include poisoned baits, traps and rodenticides. However, traps eventually require the disposal of rat bodies and rodenticides run the risk of in advertent secondary poisoning. Furthermore, these methods cannot be employed in places where them are presence of a rodent, and the thereby, the smallest chance of urine and fecal contamination, an not be tolerated (e.g food storage ware houses, restaurants, etc.)
Hence, the pest control industry is overrun with electronic devices that claim to clear off existing rodent infestations and ward off future ones. These devices are usually static and target the victim of a domestic rodent infestation. The devices are meant to plugged into electrical outlets in the inflicted homes, upon which, they emit the alleged repellent stimulus. However, there is overwhelming evidence documented through numerous studies (from Sprocket al. in 2019 to Shumake et al. in 2015) regarding the gross inefficacy of these devices. As a result, the scientific community advises that these devices“ be viewed with considerable skepticism by legislators, pest controllers, and consumer”(2).
Hence, it was proposed that the possibility of designing a rodent repellent device in the form of a mobile robot, that overcomes most of the disadvantages of static electronic devices, be explored.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Rodents and pests are a huge problem in our daily lives andin the industry and getting relieve from them seems almost inevitable. They cause large scale damage to our crops, commodities and other useful things. Using Traditional rodent control methods such as poisoned baits, traps and rodenticides can be hazardous to human being. In other to overcome these challenges this robot was build. This robot has the capacity of patrolling the area of application (such as farm) to be kept rodent-free anddispense repellent stimuli in a predetermined pattern.
1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The aim of this study is to build a microcontroller based rodent repelling robot on farms. The objectives of the study are:
- To build the system prototype using microcontroller.
- To overcome disadvantages seen in traditional rodent control methods
- To increase agricultural production
- To replace the chemical method and use of bio pesticide method with ultrasonic rodent repelling system which is eco-friendly
1.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of this study is to design a robotic rodents Repellent circuit using PIR sensor and8051 micro-controller module. The microcontroller is the heart of the device. Theoperationofthe devicebaseduponultrasonicdevicesoperateby detection obstacle when the robot patrols. The robot works by patrolling the area of application to be kept rodent-free anddispense repellent stimuli in a predetermined pattern. The work also covers the conceptual design, mechanical design, fabrication andassembly of the mobile platform. Furthermore, I was responsible for the selection of navigationstrategyandgenerationofalgorithmtoimplementthechosennavigationstrategy.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
To the society, this study will serve as a means of promoting agriculture in our society.
To the student involved, this study will serve as a means of having a deep understanding of ultrasonic sensors and microcontroller interfacing.
The development of this robot is considered asuseful and best design instead of pesticides and herbicides. This kind of designwill better adapt to the environment of developing countries.

CONCLUSION, LIMITATION AND RECOMMENDATION
5.1 Conclusion
The proposed microcontroller rodent repellent robot was successfully designed and built. The repellentstimuli were identified and an integrated repellence strategy was formulated. This includedultrasonicaudiostimuli andvisual stimuli.
The navigational abilities of the robot were extensively tested. The robot was able to followwalls around acute and obtuse corners. It was also able to follow objects that were lined alongthewall, liketrashcans, tables, desks, bookshelves andevenirregularly shapedobjects likefilled garbage bags. The robot showed good robustness in detecting and circumventing randomobstaclesinitspath, andindetectingandfollowingtheedgeofstaircases.
Hence,itcanbeconcludedthatthenavigationalperformanceoftherobotmeetsthespecificationsoutlinedinthe problemstatement.
5.2 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The efficacy of repellence with live rodents could not be testedin a controlled laboratorysetting. Hence, contacts and information regardinginfrastructure, procedures and protocol was very hard to come by. Over time contacts wereestablishedthroughnetworkingandresearch.
5.3 RECOMMENDATION
- Repellence efficacy testing can be carried out with live rodents. Results of the testsshould be used to tune the repellence strategy with respect to parameters like strobedutycycle,USVduty cycle, USVamplitude,etc.
- The use of chemical stimuli (irritants like capsaicin and semio-chemical mimicry agentslike syntheticpredatorodourscanbeexplored)
- A more sophisticated strategy navigation strategy that combines elements of SLAM withwallfollowingcanbeexplored.
- Similarly,thefeasibilityofamoreactiverepellencestrategy,wheretherobotwillattempt to locate rodents rather than passively patrol the perimeter, can be explored.The possibility of using thermal imaging to isolate the heat signature of a rodent can beexplored.
