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.

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.

great product5
I bought this product because the neighborhood cats were using my uncle's herb garden as a toilet. He has us over for dinner several times per week. I didn't want to run the risk of hurting any animals, but I also didn't want "contaminated" herbs in my salad! So far, the motion-activated scarecrow has been great! The cats only need one encounter with the scarecrow to learn their lesson. If you have a similar problem, this product is a great solution. Highly recommended.

I wish I had thought to take a picture of the damage to our back lawn from the bathroom habits of our two French Bulldogs...We tried several things ,,nothing worked,,,
One dog loves water, the other dog hates water, so we weren't sure if the Scarecrow would work,,,,,It was like magic,,,,,we reseeded the dead spots. the Srarecrow not only kept the dogs off, but kept the seeds wet... the new grass is growing great, even in this heat,,,,,,

love my scarecrows

It really seems to be working well. No plant damage since we started using it except for a couple of times I forgot it was on. It quickly reminded me when I stepped in front of it.
