Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, embodiments can include receiving signals over a transmission medium. The signals are received as electromagnetic waves at a physical interface of the transmission medium that propagate without utilizing an electrical return path. The electromagnetic waves are guided by the transmission medium. Further embodiments can include detecting a disturbance on the transmission medium and identifying the disturbance as an animal. Additional embodiments include selecting a control measure according to the animal resulting in a selected control measure and implementing the selected control measure in response to identifying the animal. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining a target position of a particular physical location, accessing an image system that provides a number of images based on physical locations including the particular physical location, and obtaining a target image from the image system based on the particular physical location. The target image includes imaged features based on physical features of the particular physical location. Image processing is applied to the target image, and a particular physical feature is identified as a candidate deployment site based on the applying of the image processing, wherein the candidate deployment site is configured to accommodate equipment of a distributed communication network that facilitates transmission of electromagnetic waves along a surface of a transmission medium. Other embodiments are disclosed.
