Finally a way to keep unwanted animals out of the garden and protect your yard, fruit trees, vegetables and flowers from hungry or destructive creatures. Cats, dogs, deer, rabbits, large birds, and many others. The patented Scarecrow motion-activated sprinkler is the smartest scarecrow ever invented. When it sees an intruder it instantly releases full garden hose water pressure towards the trespasser. The effect is both startling and immediate. Animals quickly get out of the area and avoid it in the future.The ScareCrow motion-activated sprinkler is constructed of durable, high-quality materials, and has been designed to provide many years of reliable service.

The ScareCrow uses a combination of sudden noise, unexpected movement, and a startling blast of water to create a memorable and unpleasant experience for the trespasser.
The animal immediately associates this unpleasant experience with the location, and to avoid similar surprises, learns to avoid the area. If an animal chooses to return, the ScareCrow will be waiting.
While a human may flee several steps after activating a ScareCrow, animals are typically affected to a much greater degree. In most cases they run much farther, and stay away longer. Because the unit only triggers when the animal moves, its behavior is difficult for animals to anticipate, making it a very effective deterrent.

 Awsome product keeps the cats and racoons out of my pond August 28, 2008
I used to end up buying feeder fish for my pond because the neighborhood cats and racoons would eat the fish. I tried nets but did not like the way they looked and what good is a water feature if it looks bad. Then I found this. Since I've installed it, the neighboorhood cats have stayed out of my yard and make a large arc around it. I have not lost any fish and have even added some expensive Koi without fear of simply buying pricey cat food. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is tired of dealing with neighborhood cats entering thier yard.
Humane way to deter deer August 27, 2008
I wish we would have had this product before the deer ate most of this year's daylilies and hostas. Looking forward to a garden without deer next season. Product scares away the deer and neighborhood kids that use our property as a shortcut home. Would recommend highly - even though its expensive - I think its worth it!
great tool August 27, 2008
I gave this to my dad for father's day last year to try to keep the deer, possums, and woodchucks away from his vegetables, and to keep the neighbor's cats from overfertilizing them. It works great. Both years it's taken about a month for the animals to get the message, but then they don't even come near the garden. Yes, it will spray you if you're not careful, and a good stiff breeze can move the bushes enough to trigger it, but it works. Only warning, you need to think before you put this thing in you're garden. It took a couple tries to get location perfect so it covers the whole garden. Now my dad has so many veggies, he has to give them away. Great tool!
THE DEER HAVE NOT BEEN BACK!!! August 26, 2008
I was really upset to see the tomatoes, gladiolous, cucumbers, pumpkins, corn, canteloupes and other plants and flowers grazed over by deer one morning... you wait all winter, plant, water, fertilize, hope, then all in one night some stupid deer eats it all!!! I set up two Scarecrows in my yard and the deer, and rabbits, have not been back!!!!!!! Plants have recovered. The sensor range is good and they don't use a lot of water, and they are effective. I've even seen them activated by squirrels.
Scary for the wildlife! August 26, 2008
We purchased this to scare the deer away from eating our garden. It is very effective. It also works great on squirrels, groundhogs and neighborhood cats. Yesterday, I was amused as I watched a squirrel trying to "army crawl" past the front of it. When he was in range, it came to life and boy did he jump and run!
We need to adjust the sensitivity so it doesn't keep going off for false alarms, such as the breeze blowing the trees. Overall, we are very pleased with the product.
