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.

 Saved a relationship with a neighbor over our cat(s) September 7, 2010
LL
We have a few cats that are ours but were found as ferals - thus, they are out and about all the time and come close to our yard only for feeding times. A new neighbor whose younger daughters play in the front yard on the grass found that they were using a section as a "potty area". Cat repellents (spray or other)worked for only a week at $10.00+ a week....in looking at the reviews on this I thought this was worth a try. After purchasing the Scarecrow and a hose for the neighbor - 2 weeks later he has said that they have found no cat "poop" issues on the front lawn! Hooray for the scarecrow...it works!

THE GARDENER
I am very impressed with this product. I had a very bad problem with deer and rabbits destroying my garden (especially just after planting). The scarecrow picked up on the rabbits very well while the garden was new and low.
The only thing that you have to watch out for is that if you have a lot of animal activity the scarecrow tends to use the battery up quickly.
This product worked so well that I purchased a second one.
Best deer deterrent I've found so far September 6, 2010
Diana Pudwill (Michigan City, IN United States)
This product WORKS!!! I live in an urban area with a LOT of deer that are not afraid of humans. They love to eat my beatutiful flowers and shrubs, year round. After losing almost all my daylily blooms & blossoms to hungry deer one night (considering we had sprayed everything with the smelly stuff first), I decided it was WAR on deer and purchased the scarecrow. The blossoms that hadn't been eaten managed to bloom undisturbed, and they no longer use my yard as a path to destruction at the neighbors' houses. I will be purchasing a 2nd unit to protect the plants in the backyard as well. Nothing is easier or more convenient to use than the scarecrow. Also works to keep dogs/cats from toileting in places they shouldn't.
Scarecrow Sprinkler Works September 5, 2010

I had a severe deer problem in my home garden. They had nearly destroyed everything after I had invested many hours of labor. I had tried several home remedies (soaps, ropes, repellents), with little sucess. After talking to neighbors and searching on line, I decided to try the sprinkler. So far it has worked well. The garden has recovered and is producing at a reduced rate. I'm looking forward to next year and a better crop.
AWESOME PRODUCT - HOWEVER September 4, 2010
Douglas Perkins (Michigan)
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R15ZVCQFRWLE79 The deer no longer think our garden is a midnight buffet as the Scarecrow works like a charm. Yes, I have to remember to turn it off when I go in the backyard, but it does not spray that much, mostly makes noise which startles the forest critters. Though our neighbours grandkids think it is blast to run through on hot day, which is fine. However the spray head is made completely of plastic and after 1 1/2 summers of duty, the nub that holds that top flapper broke off. Lucky enough the plastic head is a standard design and I found the same head (metal construction) at Home Depot on one of those ground stakes, bought,took it off the stake and installed it into the Scarecrow and back in business. I would still recommend this unit highly as it really does work and is worth the effort if you want the deer to stay out of your garden.
