    Amazon.com Product Description
    The Contech Electronics Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler presents an innovative, humane way to keep pets and wildlife from disturbing your yard and garden without the use of complicated traps or potentially hazardous chemicals. The sprinkler combines a surprise spray of water with unexpected motion and noise to create a safe, effective deterrent to unwanted visitors, helping keep your garden looking its best.


    The Contech Electronics Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler:
    • Uses a startling burst of water to deter animals
    • Teaches pets and wildlife to avoid your yard and garden
    • Is safe, humane, and environmentally-friendly




    One Scarecrow can cover up to 1000 sq.ft. View larger.


    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.

    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 Saved my fish from the heron!!!   March 3, 2010
    Sharon Smirti (apopka, florida)
    Product was fair priced and came very quickly. I am very satisfied and so are my fish!!!!!


    4 out of 5 stars Works well but needs more adjustability   February 23, 2010
    Aromatherapist in Phoenix (Phoenix, AZ)
    The Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler works very well, however, it would be nice to have more adjustment options. Mainly the angle up and down at which it sprays. I don't have a huge backyard but it's not that small either and I had a very hard time adjusting the sprinkler head to keep the spray from going over my back or side fences and into the neighbors yards. I finally got the adjustment just right (after a couple of hours of trying) by changing the angle that the spike was pounded into the ground (or rock in the case of yards here in Phoenix). Other than that, it works exactly how it is described and I would recommend it to friends and family.


    5 out of 5 stars Humane way to get rid of animals!   February 22, 2010
    GraphixD (Seattle, WA)
    When I bought this I was skeptical, but hopeful. I had a problem with my neighbors cat not only using my front yard as a litter box, but afterward it would scratch, like a dog, to cover it's business. And it returned frequently, which left very large patches of dead grass in my lawn. This took care of the problem in a humane way without causing discourse between neighbors. It takes a little adjusting to get it just the way you want it - spraying the cats but not everybody coming up the driveway - but overall a great product.


    3 out of 5 stars Over watering can be its own problem   February 21, 2010
    Jennifer S. Pritchard (Bay Area, CA)
    Had a huge problem last year with racoons pulling up new plants to get at slugs and worms in my garden. I swallowed the financial pill to deploy the Contech Scarecrow, and it did the trick for a while, but the racoons started to get even more clever about how they approached their target plants, they didn't seem to mind the soaking, and that part of my yard turned into a serious bog over the span of a week. This didn't make the plants too happy either!

    Finally gave up on the sprinkler and installed a FidoShock electric fence and have never had a problem since . . .



    5 out of 5 stars It really works   February 13, 2010
    Hockey Shovler (Cullman Al. USA)
    Next door is three big dogs that stays inside except about three times each day they let them out to do their business on the nearby lawns.Since I got my Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler and they do not get on my lawn any more.I have tried electronic motion sensers and they did not work.I think the Scarecrow Sprinkler is the best thing since sliced bread.
