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.

 The deer scatter! July 19, 2008
The Scarecrow actually works. It really panics the fawns and the mothers follow the dash back into the woods.
 easy to use July 18, 2008
This device was very easy to set up and use. The sensor seems to detect better just to each side of center. I could not adjust the water spray as low to the ground as I wanted, so I turned down the water pressure a little. Otherwise, it seems to be working and I haven't lost any more koi...... yet.
 How can one stop the leaking from the connector? July 18, 2008
Great idea, but I have done everything from purchasing a new hose, to putting in rubber rings to even putting plumbers tape around the item to stop the water from spurting out. I have not been able to use the product because you have to leave the hose on and over the course of time gallons of water will leak out. Who has a fix for this? UGH!!!
Cannot Do The Job It Was Purchased For! July 15, 2008
I just want to post some observations/facts about this product.
1) Despite the $60 price the scarecrow does not come with the needed 9-volt battery.
2) It was purchased in the hope of keeping squirrels from raiding our tomato plants. It failed and in calling Contech they confirm that it will not work against squirrels.
3) Assembly of item, including decals, took 5 minutes or less.
4) It works great on humans.
 NO MORE DOODY July 14, 2008
Neighborhood dogs constantly doing their business in my yard....the water scarecrow put an end to that!!!
