1. A method comprising:

  • defining a deterrence area;

    determining a species to be deterred within the deterrence area;

    generating mono-colored light of at least one wavelength within 25 nm of a peak absorption wavelength of a short-wavelength-sensitive (SWS) photoreceptor of the species; and

    directing the mono-colored light to the deterrence area with a light intensity sufficient to cause a temporary disruption of visual perception in the species to induce an augmented behavioral response resulting in avoidance of the deterrence area.
