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.

Top view of spray radius. Click to enlarge. | Using the ScareCrow is easy. Simply attach a standard garden hose to its base, set the ScareCrow in the ground in the area you want to protect, and then turn on the water. Once you switch the unit on, it is ready to go. How does it work?
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.

 Love at first meow May 10, 2008
I got the scarecrow for a massive neighborhood cat problem. (roughly 20 running around wild and the city will do nothing, but that is another story)
It works awesome! After a few days no cats coming through the area targeted and doing their thing. The crow can then be moved to a new area and the cats do not return to the old area.
I will put the negatives in here as well but, I love my crow so much they do not change my 5 star.
If it is set on much sensitivity at all, it will detect vehicles from an extreme distance, causing alot of false positives. This can easily be fixed by not aiming it towards roads.
The other is the fact that it will not differentiate between you and the disease and parasite infected cats. So if you use it in a human traffic area, expect to forget and get wet on occasion.
Almost forgot...You can take this as a negative or positive, your call. The neighbors dog found it, and fell in love. She could not get enough of "making the water happen". I don't think I have ever seen that dog so happy.
Love it, would have paid full retail for it, was very happen to get it from here for $59.99.
Great Digging deterrent May 9, 2008
Love this product - we have a dog that has been digging large holes in a sizable section of our lawn for two years - no matter what I did I couldn't deter him. Figured I had nothing to lose so I gave the Scarecrow a shot and, after just the first day of using this product our dog won't even go into that section of the yard. We now have a nice lawn without any holes. Highly recommended.
Deer Slayer May 4, 2008
This product exceeded my expectations. Deer had been constantly invading my yard at nite time and eating the grass and plants. The Scarecrow has worked perfectly and scares the deer away. I ordered two additional Scarecrows to cover other parts of the yard. This product is a great value.
Fantastic! May 1, 2008
Last year, I had a problem with my neighbor's cats. They decided to use my backyard as their kitty litter box. I was picking up poop all summer and they destroyed my grass. Now, thanks to the Scarecrow, my grass is lush and beautiful. I will be able to use my backyard again. It is the best thing I could have purchased and does the job well!
Our scarecrow April 27, 2008
We have had scarecrows constantly since we installed our koi pond 13 years ago. It is the only thing that works in keeping away herons, racoons and unwanted solicitors.
