The Eco-Smart Pest Control system provides an innovative, environmentally friendly solution for managing pests in small gardens and household plant areas. This automated system utilizes motion-sensing technology to detect pests and trigger a sprinkler that sprays chili water a natural repellent, eliminating the need for harmful chemical pesticides. The system includes motion sensors, a water pump, an auto valve, and a switch, all powered by AC electricity, providing a consistent and reliable operation. When movement is detected within a 0.5-meter range, the system activates to eliminate pests, minimizing damage to plants. This solution is based on fundamental physics concepts such as projectile motion, linear momentum, and rotational kinematics to provide targeted and efficient pest control. The system is designed to reduce manual labour and toxic chemical exposure, while promoting sustainable gardening practices for both casual plant caretakers and small-scale growers.

The sensor accurately detects pests only at close range, ensuring water is used efficiently and only when necessary. The automation reduces the need for continuous monitoring, providing convenience for users. Although some limitations exist such as the possibility of false triggers from wind or nearby movements the system largely performs with accuracy and stability. Compared to traditional pest control methods, this solution is more economical for the environment and more cost-effective over time. Eco-Smart Pest Control is a practical and eco-friendly system that effectively safeguards plants without relying on harmful chemicals. It is a significant advancement in automated gardening technology and demonstrates how simple, sustainable innovations can be beneficial to households by promoting healthier plants and reducing environmental impact.
