Others say...
"It's kewl...and I think it is working" We had Raccoons and Herons and Cats all hanging out around our pond. Not for sure this is what is doing the trick however we've had it in place for a month now and the planters in the pond that kept getting knocked over haven't. Only problem I've found is that when I come home from work I always like to waltz by the pond and look for fish. I keep forgetting about this thing and it has nailed me every time! :~) "Eliminates Hooved Vermin" After deer destroyed my wife's garden over the space of three short nights, we invest in a scarecrow. It was easy to assemble and install and worked perfectly. As long as it is on, it keeps the filthy beasts out of our garden. One caveat: our deer seem to test it regularly and have returned to the garden when I've forgotten to leave the hose on. If you have a hose in your garden and a deer problem, I would not hesitate to buy this product. It works! "Does NOT Work 100% For Heron But Does Deter" Positives of this scarecrow are that it gives the extended family a lot of laughter every time we forget it's there or are doing yardwork and get sprayed by an unexpected jet of water. The miniature dachshund also loves to attack it -- setting the nozzle off which makes her bark and growl even more insanely at it. It has NOT, however, kept a great blue heron from taking fish from our koi pond. Just this morning I found yet another speared (but not eaten) very large dead goldfish laying on the lawn nearby -- seemingly captured by the heron and then abandoned. Since this is the third fish we've lost since installing the scarecrow -- I would suggest it might scare the bird away from consuming all the fish, after it steals one fish, but it does not keep it away altogether. "Excellent scarecrow sensor works!" We were having a difficult time keeping rabbits off our lawn. One had returned yet again to start another nest, after I had cautiously relocated her bunnies from her last litter to another area. I was concerned as I did not want to cause any harm to her offspring. Once this product was installed, it was able to detect the slightest motion in its path, and a stream of water would scare it off. We have not seen any more rabbits on the lawn since this was installed, however we did water down a guy sent to do some lawn work at our request!! NOTE: If the scarecrow is set at its most sensitive, a strong breeze or wind will also set it off. "What a great product!" Before the Scarecrow, my garden was being "eaten alive" by all sorts of pests...racoons, skunks, squirrels, etc. Even after covering with chicken wire and mesh, they figured out a way to get in. With the scarecrow in place, I took down the ugly chicken wire and my garden was left untouched! It's a terrific concept (wish I would have thought of it) that really truly works. Just have to remember to turn it off before tending to your crops, or else your its next victim. Fantastic product!

What our customer's say! "Contech Electronics Scarecrow Saves Another Garden", We were very pleased to have finally found a product that would help us fight against the squirrels that were eating our newly planted ground cover. Now when they least expect it, the Scarecrow Motion Sprinkler will go off with a good spray of water sending the critters scampering. Well worth the cost! You do have to adjust a bit to get the correct position (a few funny wet mishaps) but once in proper placement it works like a charm. The Scarecrow has found a harmless solution to garden pests. "Not robust enough", The scarecrow works. That is it works under ideal circumstances. We have a lot of landscaping and wind trips it too easy. It trips so much (when no animal is nearby) that the batteries run down and it is useless when it is needed. If you have an open area that you're wanting to protect it probably will work fine. However, if you have a lot of landscaping that you are wanting to keep dogs, cats and chickens out of, you may find it to be a disappointment. "Works for me!", 1) It worked and I'd highly recommend it. I had severe deer problems in the garden, got it, and then there was about zero deer problems. A week before frost, I removed it and in three days the tops of my green beans were GONE! 2) Four stars, because it was delivered with a nicked wire that actually broke while it was in use (Before purchase I read a few folks who recieved bad units- so maybe there's a little quality control issue with it). 3) Some other reviews mention that it's a lot of cheap looking plastic for a fair chunk of change. Yep, it's plastic, and I wish it was sturdier, but what isn't plastic these days, and right or wrong, this is a product that you'd sort of expect to be a few extra bucks. 4) I only had this for about two months, BUT, the 9V battery was still working fine (somewhat in conflict with some other reviews.) 5) I kept this thing on maximum sensitivity and it did seem to SOMETMES go off every time a leaf dropped (a complaint I read before buying). But IMO, it wasn't excessive. Yeah, I got sprayed a few times, but I'm thinking it was doing what it is supposed to do, and the green beans were very good according to ME AND NOT THE DEER! 6) Instead of using the small-looking plastic stake that comes with it or the overly-expensive plastic mounting bracket, I got creative and used my own stand: a rigid 1/2" pipe plus a common sprinkler base with an adapter for garden hose thread that matches the bottom of the electric eye. 7) I see a note that it's discontinued- too bad, although I see a competitive version on Amazon.com....good- someone needs to offer something like this- it does seem to keep deer away! "No More Critters in the Garden", The Scarecrow motion detector works great! No more critters roaming around in the garden! I suspect it was deer or raccoons. Whatever it was ate all my beans before I decided to buy the Scarecrow. Since I installed it the beans have grown back and I'm planning on peas for the winter garden. I just wish I had purchased this a long time ago. I probably would have saved my fish pond too which was ravaged by some critters on a regular basis. The Scarecrow is very responsive and shoots water for a long distance. I sometimes forget it's on and get wet! "Very Limited Performance", I utilized the Scarecrow to keep my dog out of a rock garden area. Unless the dog is exactly in front of the unit and moving across, it does not activate. Even when her wagging tail is in front of the unit it does not activate. The degree of activation should be in the 45 degree range rather than in the 10 degree range. I have quit using it as it does not help. 
Read this reviews before You buy... "Hey cat, do you want a bar of soap and towel with that shower?", I live in an area that is dominated by cat lovers, but I am a bird lover. My feeding area for birds became a smorgasbord for cats. Every few days I would find a pile of Dove feathers. I was seriously thinking of taking down my feeders. Then a friend told me of a water sprayer to keep unwanted pests out of your yard, I looked on Amazon and sure enough there was the Scarecrow. I ordered one and in five days had my new defense against cats. I had a great time watching cats scatter as the Scare Crow sprayed them with water. In only two days things changed from direr straights to victory. The enemy now cowers in cover far from my bird feeders. Instead of saying "hey you cats get out of here," I say "hey cats, do you want a bar of soap and towel with that shower?" "Perfect-no, good-yes", I bought my Scarecrow to deal with skunks that are digging for grubs throughout my small front yard. It has appeared to generally work, though certainly not entirely. The main failing I see for the product is the limited sensor range. The water will easily sweep my entire lawn, but it's difficult to find a placement that ensures a skunk anywhere in the yard will trip it. Seems it works better if you have a narrow space through which animals are traveling. That said, it's definately reduced the frequency that I've found myself filling little holes in the lawn each morning. And one last thing- there's no swivel ring on the hose connection which makes putting the hose on and off akward, cause you have to rotate the sprinkler around the hose. So I'd recommend getting some quick release fittings to boot. "Keeps the deer away", I bought one of these and when I seen how well it worked, I bought two more. They really do keep the deer away from my plants. My azaleas were in bloom this spring and I didn't have to place nets over them. In fact, the deer have learned to walk around the perimeter of the yard as not to set off the scarecrow. Once I set up the scarecrows, I left them in place. I may have to move them around some next year just to keep the deer wondering. I do get sprayed myself sometimes but it is kind of fun. I learned that if I run fast enough, I can get by them before they spray me. I do wish they had a larger/wider sensor to pick up movement over a wider area of the yard. I'm not complaining though, these are so much better than anything else I've tried. Too bad I can't use them during the winter!! "Excellent Product!", The Contech Electronics Scarecrow is an excellent product to keep animals away from specific areas like ponds, gardens, outside children's play areas (so that animals don't urinate or what ever in the play area at night, etc.) It is not suited well for too large areas because what frightens the animals is the noise of the sprinkler head and of course the water spray is an annoyance in the area nearest the sprinkler head. If you need to service a large area plan on purchasing more than one. I love the product! It has saved my pond fish from egrets and raccoons. I plan to purchase one for my garden since I have seen it chase away squirrels as well. "Motion-Activated Sprinkler", An excellent product. Keeps the deer and other animals from eating your plants without injuring the animals. We have had such good luck we plan to order several more for next year. |
