The Scarecrow protects your garden without using any hazardous chemicals. View larger. | Safe, Humane Deterrent Helps Protect Your Garden
A huge amount of time and energy goes into keeping your yard and garden looking great, so it's only natural that you want to protect them from damage caused by hungry wildlife or local dogs and cats. But there are lots of reasons to avoid chemical deterrents, traps, and hazardous electric fences. Whether you're a dedicated organic vegetable gardener or a parent looking out for the health of children and pets that play in your yard, you'll appreciate the simple, innovative, and effective water-based concept behind the Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler. It's also a great choice for neighborhoods where fences are prohibited and for people who consider wire fences and other visual barriers unappealing. When the ScareCrow detects an animal it instantly releases a short but startling burst of water. The sudden spray of water and the movement and noise of the sprinkler scares animals away. Animals associate this negative experience with the area and avoid your yard in the future. Versatile and Broad-Reaching for Maximum Effectiveness
The Scarecrow is versatile enough to keep deer, rabbits, and other foragers from snacking on plants and bulbs, to prevent dogs from digging up newly seeded lawns, to keep the cat from using your garden as a litter box, and to scare predators like herons and raccoons away from your fish pond. The ScareCrow's motion detector is powerful enough to guard an area up to 1000 square feet of coverage with a single sprinkler. For added coverage, Scarecrow sprinklers can be linked in series to guard larger spaces. Efficient Design and Easy to Set Up
Setting the Scarecrow up is fast and easy, and doesn't require any special tools. Simply install a standard 9-volt battery, connect the sprinkler to your hose, push the 17-inch stake into ground to secure the unit, and set the adjustable sprinkler arc to cover the area you want protected.

 Worth the price July 3, 2009
Oaktown Fan (Oregon)
My morning routine used to consist of digging cat "stuff" out of my garden beds, and trying to rescue as many of the newly sprouted seedlings as possible. Cats were getting in the garden nearly every day. I have to admit, I hesitated spending $60 on a sprinkler, but I could no longer put up with my garden being destroyed nearly every night.
The unit is very easy to set up and test. It was up and running in no time. We went on a 4 day vacation right after buying this product, and when we returned there had been NO ANIMALS in the garden! We were pleasantly surprised. We have now had this in place for 2 full weeks, with no issues at all. The unit has good range and sensitivity. You do have to remember it's on, as it won't discriminate between it's "owner" and an intruder. When you get soaked, you may say a lot of things, but you can't say it doesn't do it's job. I would definitely recommend this and would buy it again.
My mornings are much more enjoyable now.

Product is effective and arrived in a timely fashion. Have 6 of them now and they are the only method we have found that works to keep the deer out of our flowers.
 Take That You Waskally Wabbits June 29, 2009

This isn't the perfect solution to those pesky wabbits in my yard but it's a good deterrent. It works as advertised but there is a learning curve to its set up location & sensitivity if you are planning on using it in an area where people are present or cars drive by.
I bought it to protect my newly planted yard but I found that I was also protecting my neighbors driveway from that pesky car that wanted to park in the driveway. Sensitivity and distance has been re-set but the neighbor still isn't talking to us.
I especially like the fact that the distance and radius of the spray are easily set and you don't have to be a irrigation expert to opperate it. The down side on our small lot was finding a location where it wouldn't be set off by cars or people. After trial and error, I think that we've finally got it. It has a default so it won't go off every 8 seconds if you are 'Scare Crow challenged' and don't get the settings right at first.
Cost is probably the bigest deterrent to purchasing but its price is much higher in retail stores. I am planning on getting my moneys worth though as it will move to the back yard garden when the new front is established. It would be nice if the 9volt battery was included. There's nothing more dissapointing than getting a new toy and having to wait to use it.
And be prepared for neighborhood kids on a hot day ;-)

The deer ate EVERYTHING out of our garden last summer. I had heard others who had had great success at keeping the deer out with this sprinkler. I have to say it has worked like a charm. Make sure you check the batteries because they will run down. Plants waiving in the wind will also cause it to activate so that can run
down the batteries. You'll forget at least once to turn it off before you go into your garden....I got sprayed and screamed so loud my kids laughed till they cried.
 Not for Groundhogs June 28, 2009
