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.

 Will make it work better July 30, 2010
Randy Brusse (Carson, Wa.)
OK, this thing really does work well. I've had mine for over 6 years. But the spike to stick it in the ground is a pain. Unit will fall over or even break depending on the hardness of the soil. So get a heavy duty small farm type feed bucket (plastic) and fill it 3/4 full of sawdust and about 1 to 2 inches of concrete on top of the sawdust. You don't need to fill the bucket all the way up. Be sure to keep the hose connection above the level of the bucket or you won't be able to connect up to it. Stick the spike in the concrete and let it dry for 2 days. when you place it in the bucket move it off center so that when you pick up the bucket by the handle it doesn't hit the spike so you can pick it up and move it any where you want with ease. I also use quick connects you can get most any where and its easier when you move it around.

I have tried almost everything on the market to discourage deer, racoons and other critters from destroying fruit trees, flowers, and even my tomato plants without much success. My family and I went on vacation for 2 weeks and on return my rose bushes were almost eaten along with many other flowers. Seems as though the critters knew we were away, so they had a field day.I finally saw the Scarecrow at work. I had to get this as soon as I could. I have installed 3. We left for another trip but this time when we returned all the roses were blooming and the other flowers were as healthy as could be. I do turn the eyes off during the day when I am home--extends the battery life. Great product and was shipped very fast. I would recommend the Scarecrow to everyone with similar problems.

I purchased the scarecrow because of a unusually high number of deer, groundhogs and rabbits visiting our garden this year. We came home from a 9 day vacation to find our garden totally wrecked and the tops of everything eatten off. It seems to have done the trick and we were able to replant and prosper! The downside....make sure it is not too close to the neighbor's routine of walking the dogs. It has made one of their dogs afraid to come over to our fence line. The upside is that you are able to set the sensitivity and the direction of the spray, and I am thinking of getting a second one for another problem area.
