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, scarecat, scaredog February 7, 2010
DH (Houston TX)
The Scarecrow works as advertised and has made a dramatic decrease in the number of presents the neighbors pets leave in our yard. The only thing that I didn't like about this product is that it is made in China instead of the USA.

I bought the Scarecrow with the intention of using it to keep my dog out of a particular area of the yard. It works. Plus, it waters the lawn. A great (and lest costly) alternative to an invisible fence, where applicable.
 No More Dog Droppings on Our Lawn! January 30, 2010
K. Denis (California)
My husband purchased the Contech Scarecrow motion-activated sprinkler because he was sick and tired of getting up every morning and finding dog poop on our grass. We don't own a dog! After hearing about this product from a friend, he went right to the computer and ordered it. WE LOVE IT! It's been operating for the past several months and we have not had ONE pile on our grass since he put it in. It's very sensitive to movement on the lawn or people walking by on the sidewalk. It gives a good spray for several seconds and makes a slight ticking sound that scares the animals off. We know it won't harm the animal, which is important to us, and it won't harm the environment. We've had excellent results and highly recommend this to anyone who is experiencing problems with unwanted animals in their yard.

A waste of my money. It will go off if a car or person passes by, but won't go off if cats or squirrels come near it and that was what I thought it would do.
It really works! January 10, 2010

My current purchase of a Contech scarecrow will be a spare for the two I've had in operation for about 2 years now. When I first bought one my primary concern was to keep the deer away from the flowers and bushes on my lawn and in this case it has worked extremely well. It has conditioned them to the point where they don't even come around anymore and the newborn learn quickly to stay away as well. It also works for cats to the extent that mine has learned to walk the outer limits of it's range. As for raccoons, forget about it! In the warm weather they really love it and it seems they even use it to bathe as they spend quite some time getting wet and preening themselves into the wee hours. Some things to be aware of are: If you do have raccoons don't use an ordinary hose to hook it up. They will bite throuh it in no time and render it useless. Use some type of armored hose such as Armadillo brand, stainless braided washing machine hose(comes in 6' lengths) or plastic sprinkler pipe under ground(my choice)to make your connection. If there are bushes you want to protect, as I do, it's obvious the unit can't see through them so if the deer can sneak up the back and eat they will. A low 3 foot fence in back of them will herd the deer to the end of the fence to an open area where they can be detected by the scarecrow; this worked very well for me. Also remember bushes and tall plants move in the wind and they will set off the unit as well. For this reason it is best that you don't use the unit up to it's maximum range. By shortening the range at which you install the unit it will work in such a way that you can reduce the sensitivity on breezy days and still be effective. Oh yes, and then there are the woodpeckers who have learned to swoop in front of the unit to set it off in hopes of getting a drink; especially if I'm late filling the bird bath with water. And that brings us to the battery. Under my conditions I have found a One Month lifetime is all that can be expected and I don't dare stretch it any furthr and leave the grounds unprotected for even one night; you never know. All in all a great device when used correctly. It allowed me to keep my yard open and fence free so it could blend uninterrupted into the surrounding woodlands.
