Pesti.ai Guardian — AI Animal Deterrent (Gen 1)
Pesti.ai Guardian is an AI vision camera with a precision water jet. It watches your balcony, patio, garden, rooftop or storage room around the clock, recognises the animals you don't want there — cats, pigeons, crows, martens, rodents — and answers with a short, accurately aimed burst of water. It does not fire at your kids, your dog or the mailman. Water only: no chemicals, no ultrasound, no shocks.
Gen 1 is sold out
Our first production run is fully allocated. You can reserve your place in the Gen 2 queue with a $5 Founders Waitlist Pass. The $5 is credited back against your order, locks in 30% off the launch price, and gives you a numbered place in the shipping queue.
How it works
- Watch. A wide-angle camera monitors the zone you define, day and night, using on-device infrared for low light.
- Identify. The classifier separates target species from people and pets before anything happens. Confidence thresholds are yours to set.
- Deter. A servo-aimed nozzle tracks the animal and releases a short burst of mains-pressure water. Timing is randomised so animals cannot learn the pattern.

Humane by design
Pesti.ai uses nothing but water. Cats generally stop coming back within a few days once the space stops feeling safe to settle in. With birds the honest answer is that it reduces visits and discourages nesting rather than eliminating them outright — results vary by site.
