Product Description: 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.

Top view of spray radius. Click to enlarge. | 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.

Customer Reviews
Fantastic!
Last year, I had a problem with my neighbor's cats. They decided to use my backyard as their kitty litter box. I was picking up poop all summer and they destroyed my grass. Now, thanks to the Scarecrow, my grass is lush and beautiful. I will be able to use my backyard again. It is the best thing I could have purchased and does the job well!

Our scarecrow
We have had scarecrows constantly since we installed our koi pond 13 years ago. It is the only thing that works in keeping away herons, racoons and unwanted solicitors.

GREAT PRODUCT AND ENTERTAINMENT!!!
This has kept the cats AND other critters out of our backyard. We have a 2 year old daughter who loves to play in the backyard but the cats use it as a litter box. We put the scarecrow out there and we no longer have to worry about landmines. I am confident that my daughter can go play without coming in with poop all over herself and shoes. Another plus is that it gets the lawn watered at the same time. Now I need one for the front because the cats have meandered to the front. We will let the neighbors worry about it now!!!

Arrived but a Problem
We ordered 2 Scarecrows. However, only one arrived in working condition. A call to customer service and a very pleasant young lady guided me thru the disassembly of the product to get down to the inner workings only to find that, yes, indeed the product was defective. I was advised that a replacement would be sent---no need to return the non-functioning one (which was now in a myriad of pieces and had it been considered "operational", I would never have been able to get it back together). That was yesterday and we are happy to know that another Scarecrow is flying this way via UPS.

Scarecrow works
Contech Electronics Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler #CRO101/CRO102
I installed the product in my backyard the day it arrived in order to keep deer from eating our tulips as they came up. It's two weeks later and we have no damage to the tulips. I watched it activate one day when a robin flew low past it. We're very pleased with it and will be able to use it to protect our small vegetable garden when the tulips are up high enough to no longer interest the deer.
