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.

 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.
Price was great and it really does work. November 1, 2009

I needed to keep out deer as well as sheep, a llama and dogs and cats from my garden. This works great! I was impressed.

I have a kind neighbor who has adopted several stray cats. The problem is the cats like to come to my front yard as their favorite "rest stop" on their commutes. However, since I bought the Scarecrow Sprinkler we have nicknamed "Raven," the cats have bypassed my front yard in search of drier pastures. Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

Works great! No evidence of dogs or cats, even though I've seen them...if only it had a full 360 degree motion sensor... :)
 Somewhat dissapointed so-far October 22, 2009

We've used it for about 2 months now. It seemed that it might have helped a bit with the Racoon issues we have. Sensitivity adjustment works, but trying to figure out the proper setting is tricky. Wind blowing things around can set it off. Had to tighten the hose at the bottom once. Looks like the vibration caused it to loosen up. Most dissapointing is that the battery went dead once already. If we end up having to replace the battery every 1+ month, that seems exessive...
