Scarecrow
Motion Activated Sprinkler
Humane Natural Animal Deterrent Repellent
Finally an ecologically friendly, humane way to keep nuisance, pest and other unwanted animals
out of your garden!
Cats, Dogs, Deer, Rabbits, Crows, many other birds and animals! |
Protect
your garden or pond from unwanted animal intruders. The Scarecrow motion
activated sprinkler instantly releases a short but startling burst of
water when it detects an animal.
The sudden water, movement and noise scare animals away,
and help teach them to avoid the area in the future.
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.
-
Motion activated sprinkler instantly releases a short but startling
burst of water when it detects an animal, scaring them away
-
Humane, safe and environmentally friendly; uses only a small amount of
water each time
-
Highly sensitive motion detector senses large and small animals
-
No
chemicals, shocks or unsightly, costly fences or barriers
-
Smart circuitry automatically dampens sensitivity in windy conditions
to reduce false triggering
-
Works day and night for up to 4 months on a single battery
-
Each unit covers approx 1200 sq.ft. (112m2)
We
attribute this difference 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!

Here's what others say about Scarecrow ...
An e-mail to AwesomeTools: "LOVE MY SCARECROW!!!!! Live on the
Indian River in Grant, Fl, had crows all over my boat, ordered your scarecrow, and laugh & laugh when they try
to land on the boat now. Not nearly as much bird poo. Thanks so much," Lynn
March 2001 Consumer Reports: "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." Read
