Protect your yard, fruit trees, vegetables, flowers and water features from hungry or destructive animal intruders. The ScareCrow® motion-activated sprinkler automatically detects deer, racoons, heron, dogs and more as they approach, and repels them with a short but startling burst of water. The sudden noise, movement and spray scares animals away, teaching them to avoid the area in future.
Keep animals away from your pond or garden with a harmless blast of water

Read what the press has to say about our innovative products:
"We installed a Scarecrow in one of our test gardens last summer, where we're
normally troubled by hungry deer. It worked well--better than more-costly and
complicated devices such as electric fencing and deer netting. Deer tracks in
our tilled soil indicated that the deer were there often to investigate. Some
snuck up behind the Scarecrow, nibbling that section of the garden. The area in
front was unmunched until we removed the Scarecrow. The plants were then eaten
to the ground."

"I love this thing, and with all the motion sensor lights around, I'm amazed
they didn't think of it sooner. A motion-sensing sprinkler! Now isn't that just
the thing to keep unwanted pests out of your garden; pest of any species.
(Except, perhaps, for ducks.)"

"Braide and Farlinger are also enthusiastic gardeners. Every summer they hang
flower baskets along the ocean side of the house, and the front garden has
flowering shrubs and plants that complement their natural surroundings. Braide
has solved a deer problem by using a device to ward them off. "I have five
sprinklers set up around the house, permanently connected to hoses that have
motion detectors on them. When the deer walk across the path, they are
sprinkled for about five seconds, and then the sprinkler turns off. This deters
the deer and the flowers aren't touched.""

"Deer will gladly go over an 8-foot fence to get at roses, but they won't stand
for getting wet. That's the concept behind Scarecrow, an animal-invasion
deterrent commonly known as "deer sprinklers." The device consists of a
rotating sprinkler head on top of an infrared motion sensor. When on guard, it
will spray any animal - dog, raccoon, rabbit, cat, cat burglar, daughter's
boyfriend - that gets within 35 feet... Cost and assembly are minimal compared
with digging postholes and running fence."

"My wife and I used to have a problem with kids sitting on the stone wall in
front of our house and smoking cigarettes. Noting would dissuade them, and our
lawn was continually littered with butts. Finally, I found a motion-sensor
water sprinkler, and whenever the smokers came into the yard the sprinkler
would activate. That solved our problem without confrontation".

"Another repelling device is a water Scarecrow. "It's a hard sprinkler connected
to a motion sensor. When critters walk past it, they get blasted with water and
they will stay away".

"Herons are probably the biggest predator we have," he says. "Everyone thinks
it's raccoons, but a raccoon won't be much of a predator if the pond is built
eight feet or more in width." It helps that herons are skittish. That limits
most of their foraging to water gardens tucked into quiet corners of
properties. "They don't like a lot of traffic or noise or kids running in and
out of the house. If you're in an area where you think you'll have a problem,
consider buying a 'Scarecrow'." By Scarecrow, Beaulieu means a sprinkler that
runs off a nine-volt battery. It has a motion detector built in with a range of
30 feet. "Hook it up to a water hose," he says. "Anything that breaks that
electronic barrier gets soaked with a blast of water.""

"With the vacation and gardening seasons in full swing, here's just the thing to
protect your premises: the ScareCrow ($89), a motion-detecting sprinkler that
takes direct aim at wandering animals or intruders. Just hook the battery
operated device to a hose and stab it in the ground. When the sprinkler detects
motion - up to 35 feet ahead and 45 feet to the sides - it shoots a short but
startling burst of water at the trespasser".

"Dogs may be man's best friend, but that friend can become too familiar. Like
when the neighbour's dog visits your yard to relieve itself. The result can be
a blight on both your lawn and neighbourhood relations. Polite protests can be
ignored, and taking revenge might make your negligent neighbour less inclined
to lend you his Sawzall.
But there is an answer that's acceptable to everyone, probably, except the dog
in question. Contech Electronics Inc. makes a sprinkler it calls the ScareCrow
which is designed to prevent unwanted lawn deposits.
The 9-volt battery powered ScareCrow has a motion detector just like the ones
found in security yard lights. Hook it up to a hose and it will shoot about two
cups of water up to 35 feet in a quick burst. (You can watch a short video of
the ScareCrow in action at www.scarecrowinfo.com)."
