Finally a way to keep unwanted animals out of the garden and protect your yard, fruit trees, vegetables and flowers from hungry or destructive creatures. Cats, dogs, deer, rabbits, large birds, and many others. The patented Scarecrow motion-activated sprinkler is the smartest scarecrow ever invented. When it sees an intruder it instantly releases full garden hose water pressure towards the trespasser. The effect is both startling and immediate. Animals quickly get out of the area and avoid it in the future.The ScareCrow motion-activated sprinkler is constructed of durable, high-quality materials, and has been designed to provide many years of reliable service.

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. 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 behavior is difficult for animals to anticipate, making it a very effective deterrent.

Scarecrow for the garden
I bought the Scarecrow for my husband to put in the garden to help keep the deer and rabbits from eating our goods. Worked great for about 3 weeks then it broke. Too expensive for it to not work longer than 3 weeks. While it did work it did a great job at keeping the animals away, but certainly not worth $60.

Prettiest Plants in Deer Land
I was unsure about ordering the Scarecrow but wanted to try it since the deer were eating my "deer proof" plants at night in the front of the house. I wasn't sure I had set it up exactly right but within a week, I noticed all the plants were trying to grow back and seemed to be thriving. This device lets me plant varieties no one else would dare try in this deer infested neighborhood.
Since our deer feed at night, it's easy to set the Scarecrow on a hose timer and shut it off during the daytime to protect the mailman and joggers. But in this very hot summer, if a passerby were to get a spray or two, would it be so wrong??
This product WORKS!!

Excellent pest solution!
The Contech Scarecrow works great for keeping deer away from our flowers and shrubs. I'm giving it 4 stars because there was a leakage problem with the ground stake coupling with the main body. Contech customer service was very understanding and sent out a "coupler repair kit" at no charge that remedied the issue. This tells me that this has been a maybe not-so-uncommon problem. Hopefully, they will correct this in next generation Scarecrows. Overall though, it works well.
