Motion activated sprayer will help keep herons, raccoons, and other potential predators away from your fish with a harmless blast of water.
Protect your fish pond, yard, fruit trees, vegetables and flowers 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.
ScareCrow
- works day and night without chemicals or unsightly barriers
- can be linked to other ScareCrows to form an effective water barrier

How & Why it Works
Using the ScareCrow is easy. Simply attach a standard garden hose to its base, set the ScareCrow in the ground in the area you want to protect, and then turn on the water. Once you switch the unit on, it is ready to go.

Comments: This item works wonderfully! Birds are no longer a concern, and it also works great on raccoons and house cats. It took a little adjusting to keep it from spraying friends and family walking by, but lets face it, that was entertaining!

Comments: We have one of these. We had a bird problem. It was effective. Battery does wear down, and needs repacement. Also, it must be placed so casual walking by does not set it off.

How does it work?
The ScareCrow uses a combination of sudden noise, unexpected movement, and a startling blast of water to create a memorable and unpleasant experience for the trespasser.
The animal immediately associates this unpleasant experience with the location, and to avoid similar surprises, learns to avoid the area. If an animal chooses to return, the ScareCrow will be waiting.
While a human may flee several steps after activating a ScareCrow, animals are typically affected to a much greater degree. In most cases they run much farther, and stay away longer. Because the unit only triggers when the animal moves, its behaviour is difficult for animals to anticipate, making it a very effective deterrent.
