Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler Details

The Scarecrow is the smartest scarecrow ever invented. When it sees an intruder it instantly releases full garden hose pressure towards the trespasser. The effect is both startling and immediate! Animals quickly get out of the area and avoid it in the future.

1) Position the Scarecrow so the area you wish to protect is within its 105 degree detection area (avoid pointing at any moving objects to prevent "false triggering",  ie: sidewalks, roads or waterfalls).

2) Adjust the sensitivity dial to the lowest setting that will still pick up your target animal(s).

3) Fine tune the sprinkler to ensure the water covers the area you wish to protect.

Why it Works

The Scarecrow invokes a memorable and unpleasant form of deterrence through a combination of:

* Sudden Unexpected Noise

* Unexpected Movement 
* Water Spray

This unpleasant experience is quickly associated with the location. To avoid similar surprises they begin to avoid the area. While humans flee several steps after activating a Scarecrow motion activated sprinkler, animals are scared to a much greater degree, run much further and stay away longer.

This difference is attributed in part to the inherent fight-or-flight survival mechanism found in most animals and their lack of intelligence or ability to ‘figure out’ what caused the annoying noise and motion.

Other Reasons Why the Scarecrow Works

Training/repelling is consistent at the location, 24 hours a day. It is the environment rather than a person or other animal doing the 'conditioning'. The water spray distributed is sufficiently surprising and unpleasant to communicate an immediate 'Leave now!' message.

Product Highlights

Water Based Concept 
Safely and effectively repels animals without chemicals, visually objectionable barriers, or shock

Passive Infrared Detector 
Operates unattended and 'sprays' when movement is detected

Operates 24/7 
Scarecrow protects day and night for up to 6 months (or 3000+ activations) on one 9 volt battery

Becomes a Temporary "Water Barrier"
Can be used in neighborhoods where fences are not allowed

Water Conserving Design 
Only uses 2-3 cups of water per deterrence and can usually be used in communities engaged in restricted lawn watering practices

Water Flow Through Stake
Easy to extend coverage with additional Scarecrows

Besides being one of the most effective deterrents available today, the Scarecrow is a clean, fun alternative to smelly, poisonous, or visually disruptive alternatives available. It is widely endorsed and less expensive than physical barriers. If you've tried other solutions that failed, you're ready for a Scarecrow.
