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.

 Really Works November 19, 2009
Edward W. Seith (Silicon Valley)
We really like the Scarecrow!!!
Our front lawn is no longer the toilet for 6 to 12 dog walkers per day!
Most of the dog walkers are now walking on the other side of the street!
Prior to the Scarecrow we had tried dog repellent dispensers every 6 feet, doggy signs and confronting polluters. We even provided doggy disposal bags which the dog walkers refused to use. On more than one occasion we were threatened by the dog walkers or by their pit bulls as they insisted upon their right to soil our lawn. Over a period of 2 months, the dog walkers kicked and crushed the 6 dog repellent dispensers that were located 2 feet away from the side walk on our lawn. The crushing of the dog repellent dispensers led to the crushing of our 8 solar powered lights as much as 15 feet from the sidewalk. Subsequently, I securely mounted the Scarecrow to a fence post to discourage kicking and crushing at a sprinkler height of about 4 feet. One pit bull was determined to kill the Scarecrow, but he could not jump to the height of the sprinkler and after several attempts and getting soaked he retreated. The Scarecrow has been in operation about 2 months and has not been kicked or crushed so far by humans. Dog walkers and teenagers have thrown rocks at the Scarecrow but there has not been any damage as yet. Since installing the Scarecrow, I reseeded our front lawn and it is now returning to look like a lawn instead of a dog run at a dog pound. Since the Scarecrow, the squirrels have also abandoned the front of our house. However, large black crows are not intimidated by the Scarecrow and don't seem to mind the shower as they peck about.
No more iguana poop by the pool November 17, 2009
Millie (FL)
In south Florida there is a hugh iguana problem. Apparently hundreds of thousands of iguanas with no natural predator. These iguanas enjoy going to our pool to either poop in the pool or around the pool. Yuck. You cannot capture them and relocate. it's illegal. I'm not into killing them. I tried a spray especially made to repel iguanas...didn't work. So I bought this "scarecrow sprinkler" with the motion sensor. I have it set up adjacent to Mr. Iguana's favorite spot and guess what? It works...no more iguana poop.
Totally Rocks! November 9, 2009
L. Adrian (Sutherlin, OR)
We have used the Scarecrow Sprinkler for about 10 yrs now. Most recently we moved out in the country where we were having alot of problems with deer and turkey in our yard. We purchased a few more from Amazon--they have a great price! No more turkey in our yard! The deer now stay on the outskirts of our property. No more problems with them destroying our newly planted trees or garden. The Scarecrow is a great humane and easy way to keep whatever you want out of your yard. It really works!
Give it a shot. November 9, 2009
A. Lee (East Bay -- Bay Area, California)
I experimented with the sprays and other repellents and they did not resolve my cat and raccoon problems. I was a little skeptical about this until I read the other reviews. The price was decent compared to what retail outlets were charging ($80) so I gave it a chance. I hooked everything up the day I received it. The following morning, there were no signs of digging or tracks. This went on for a few nights until one night I forgot to turn the sprinkler on, which was a HUGE mistake on my part. The next morning there were 3 basketball size holes on my new lawn. Since then I was convinced that the Scarecrow works and is the best thing invented to repel animals from the yard. My only complaint is that I wish there was a wider range of motion for the up-down shooting. Also, I used the tip from another reviewer and used some plumbers tape for a tighter seal when putting the sprinkler together. This is a great product!
scarecrow motion-activated sprinkler November 4, 2009
not a cat lady
I recently moved into a house that has 8 cats living across the street. They insisted on using my flower beds for their litterbox. I tried all the ideas I saw online but none worked. I was at the end of my rope when I googled motion activated sprinklers. I chose item#cro101 and I LOVE it! I have had it in my flower bed for a month and I have only had a cat try 2 different times without sucess, they get scared and run away as soon as the sprinkler comes on. I highly recommend this product.
