    Q
    Is there a self contained version of the ScareCrow sprinkler?

    Q
    How do I avoid getting sprayed by the ScareCrow Sprinkler when I want to tend to my plants? Is there a remote switch?
    A

    The ScareCrow Sprinkler Motion Activated Animal Deterrent can detect differenct sizes of animals.  This can work for people too. You can just adjust the sesitivty knob according to the size of animal you are trying to deter, or you can adjust the distance of spray as well. The easiest thing to do would be to just turn off the water when you go outside to tend to your plants or work on your yard.

    Q
    I have just bought a new solar powered unit that worked for several weeks then it went off and would not stop
    To start with the only way I could stop it was to turn off the water supply and start it again. Then it went to being on all the time. what should I do?
    A
    There are two ways to switch off the ScareCrow motion-activated sprinkler animal deterrent : either set the sensitivity knob to zero, or shut off the water supply. Please note that if you shut the water off, the unit will still sense and activate, but will not spray water. For a heavy traffic area, turning the sensitivity knob to zero is the best option.  You may want to check your battery, it may need to be replaced.
