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.

What's in the Box
Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler

Keep cats from using your garden as a litter box or prevent raccoons and herons from snacking in your fish pond.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful product!   September 4, 2010
Samantha Robinson
I have had problems with cats using my yard and garden as a litter box. I tried everything from using organic, chemicals, and even going midevil by buring boards with nails sticking up. But those buggers would find an empty spot and go there. So this was my last resort and it has been a blessing! No more stinky cat poop in my yard :) If you have problems with any animals I would recommend this product!!


5 out of 5 stars The darn thing works.   September 1, 2010

I purchased this thing because I grow and sell Koi in a large outdoor pond. We had a great big blue heron come a callin in addition to the kingfishers and osprey in our area and I just wasn't feeling very secure. I didn't want to use netting to protect the fish as the natural surroundings would be compromised. I hooked up this thing in less than 20 minutes and had it working. It works like a charm and no more big bad birds! PS put the stickers on before you bring it outdoors, its alot earlier. I will be buying another when my additional pens are complete. [...]



3 out of 5 stars animals beware   August 31, 2010
Andrew Suarez
My dogs do not like it. My wife likes her garden dog free, I do not like the hesitation before it comes on. It could be a little quicker. The sprinkler's spray cannot be adjusted. It has a single stream of water and it shoots high.


5 out of 5 stars Did what I wanted it to   August 31, 2010

I wanted to keep the cats out of my garden and it has done just that.


4 out of 5 stars It works   August 30, 2010

I'm generally happy with this product. We purchased it to keep the stray cats out of the yard. It works pretty well for that. It seems to go off randomly but it helps water the lawn too so no complaints there.
