Protect your yard, fruit trees, vegetables, flowers and water features from hungry
or destructive animal intruders. The ScareCrow® motion-activated sprinkler
automatically detects deer, raccoons, heron, dogs and more as they approach, and
repels them with a short but startling burst of water. The sudden noise, movement
and spray scares animals away, teaching them to avoid the area in future.
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 behaviour
is difficult for animals to anticipate, making it a very effective deterrent.
Reminder for ScareCrow use in winter:
To prevent damage from freezing water, take the ScareCrow
inside and remove the battery before the first winter frost. Failure to
do so may cause some parts to break as ice expands inside.
