Scarecrow Motion Activated Sprinkler

When the Scarecrow Motion Activated Sprinkler 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 has a 35 foot adjustable detection range and offers 105 degrees of coverage. Protects day and night and "fires" up to 5,000 times on one 9 volt battery (not included). Easy to use, just hook it up to your garden hose and point it over the area to be protected. 24" tall.

Why it works:
The Scarecrow consistently creates a memorable and unpleasant experience through a combination of:
• sudden unexpected noise
• unexpected movement, and
• water spray.

The animal immediately associates this unpleasant experience with the location. To avoid similar surprises, they begin to avoid the area. While humans flee several steps after activating the sprinkler, animals are scared to a much greater degree, run much further and stay away longer.

We attribute this difference in part to the inherent fight or flight survival response found in most animals and their lack of intelligence or ability to 'figure out' what caused the annoying noise and motion.

Other reasons why it 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 is sufficiently surprising and unpleasant to communicate an immediate, 'Leave now' message.
