Researchers are investigating the potential of ultrasound repellers as a means of preventing hedgehogs from venturing onto roads, thereby reducing the number of roadkill incidents. These devices emit high-frequency sounds that are unpleasant to hedgehogs, encouraging them to avoid dangerous areas. The hope is that this technology can provide a safe and effective way to protect vulnerable hedgehog populations.
