[TheForge] electric "firecracker"??? OT

[Grover Richardson]

I've tried many types of detterants.  Beasts, particularly ones that operate
near humans, are not bothered for long by noise or light.

Best option.  Get a Radio Shack infra red sensor.  One of the indoor
eyeballs is good.  Put it under the edge of a piece of wood so that it won't
get wet.  Though they say they are for indoor use only, I have used them out
of doors for over 3 years.  This will usually see a chicken sized animal at
about 15 feet.  They will only false if it lightnings.

In my instance, the buzzer goes off, I look at the color of lamp
illuminated, and the color tells me what window to shoot out of<G>.

Anyone know an electric or electronic device that would make a noise
comparable to a small firecracker?  A friend wants something to scare deer
from his suburban house.  The exact nature of the sound it makes is not real
important.  (An electrified fence is out of the question.)
