Customer Reviews for ScareCrow Sprinkler Motion Activated Animal Deterrent

Tried everything last year. Netting, amonia, pepper,and all the stuff recomended on the internet. This year I was ready to put up a electric wire system. About $100 and a lot of time and work. Saw the ScareCrow on line and tried it on my 4x40' above ground garden. It took about 10 minutes to install. It's been in place about three weeks, and NOT ONE cat poop pile. All that fresh soil must drive them nuts. They stay clear. Last year it was a daily chore to clean up after them. VERY HAPPY..WORKS GREAT !!

Great product and great service. My dogs hate these things so they do a great job of keeping them out of my vegetable garden. Be careful though. My wife and grandmother both got sprayed within two days. Service is terrific if you have an issue too.

We have had one for about a year and it works great. I detects movement about 30 feet and our water pressure lets it spray about that far. We bought another one to extend our protection even farther. Donna & Frank

....that's the one word that comes to mind. I'm primarily concerned about deer in my garden. And, I could see by the deer's skid tracks on the outer perimeter of the Scarecrow's range that this thing performs as advertised: the tracks indicated panic exit. I also watched my neighbor's cat get blasted. The only constructive criticism I can offer new owners is to use one wrap of plumbers tape on each threaded joint. Garden hose joints are historically not water-tight: they drip. These are no different. Be careful not to over-tighten. Song birds do seem to get used to the yellow predator decals on the motion sensor. Rabbits don't know what to make of it and remain a little nervous. Scarecrow is a very reliable product. Highly recommended. It provides the next best source of security for your plants. In my opinion, only a shotgun is better. But, you have to be there to pull the trigger.

We bought our first Scarecrow many, many years ago. Like 10, 15? It's been a fish lifesaver for our pond, and has also provided many laughs and swearing when one inadvertently forgets about it and walks right in front of it yet again (you'd think we would have figured it out by now, but no). A Scarecrow is a must when you have a Koi pond (Don't think you have herons or raccoons? Put in a pond!) Our old Scarecrow was starting to fail, so we didn't put it up right away this spring, and lo and behold, my favorite Koi was stolen by a blasted heron! Hate herons!!! Deciding we needed a new Scarecrow stat, I ordered from DMOPC.com and not only impressed by how quick they got it to us, but by their great pricing, about half of what we paid for our original Scarecrow. The fish are now safely under guard, and as per another reviewer, I'm thinking of moving our old one out front to deter solicitors. I'm tired of people badgering me to change my religion and those who TAPE THEIR JUNK MAIL ON MY HOUSE! (And always right next to my large "No Soliciting" sign.) My office over looks the front walk and I can always use a laugh!

I purchased the ScareCrow to keep the neighbors cat away from my bird feeders. She was killing the birds and wrecking the feeders. I didn't want to hurt her but I was at my witts end. I surched the web and found the ScareCrow. It really works with no harm to the cat. I'm very happy. Oh and it keeps the squirrels away too. It's also fun to watch. :)

We have tried everything....human hair, dog hair, fishing line, sprays, human smells.....everything anyone has ever told us that worked for them! Nothing seemed to keep the deer out of our garden short of the expense of fencing. The ScareCrow has been working for weeks now! We are delighted with it!

I was amazed and more than delighted with this gizmo. Nightly visits by a "family" of racoons were leaving a mess of my newly-laid sod. My wife ran across a video of the "ScareCrow" and suggested I try it. Since I had attempted numerous other "cures" over a week's period I had nothing to lose. (Local trappers wanted $425 to trap and kill the critters; so $50 seemed like a bargain.) It arrived the next day. 5 minutes later it was set up and ready to "scare". What do you know!!! No more visitors and the sod is flourishing. I may even order another one for the deer this fall. Sorry your rating scale only has 5 stars. This product rates 6 or 7! Thanks.

Have an area of shaded sandy soil that I have been struggling for 2 years getting grass to fill in and the cats from using it as a toilet at my front entry. Spending plenty on every "deterrent" that you have tried and some you haven't, I bit the bullet (It's cheaper here.) Presto! I used rebar to secure due to strong push each time it turns on. Cats, dogs, door hangers jump at just the sound... didn't even tell family, neighbors or new young mailman. You've got to do this. The pests are gone! (No honey, not your family) It's a blast, just too much fun to watch... I love sending the grand-kids to check the mail.

We have an incredible deer problem in our residential area; they dine on everything we plant, and drop their babies at our front door while the Mother lays in our gardens, ruins the plants and chomps on whatever catches her eye. Not anymore! With the ScareCrow (we have two and I'm thinking about ordering another) the deer take off running. This a beautiful sight.

I forgot this in my previous review. For those of you that may not have much space to mount the Scarecrow, I used just the long straight tube. I then hung it over the back a patio chair. It was perfect since we just have a block planter ~2ft tall. A Velcro strap keeps it secure. Lastly, I had to use two of the included gaskets where the hose screws in.

I live in a rural area and we are loaded with deer. My back yard is apparently part of their "trail." I've used the ScareCrow Sprinkler for about 6 years and it is absolutely the BEST deer deterrent I've tried! I have had ZERO deer (or rabbit) damage since I've used them. This product was the least expensive I've purchased and it arrived within three days. Outstanding service! I highly recommend this to all gardeners.

I friend told me about these little babies, and I could not be more pleased with my purchase. Not only does it water my lawn, but I have also not had any issues with critters in my flowerbeds since! All of the neighbors want one now. And the best part? It also works for keeping the bratty neighbor's kids out of my flowers!

Works perfectly. My newly planted trees are now safe from the neighborhood deer herd. This site had the best price I could find. I spent $45 to save $600 worth of trees and shrubs.

I wanted to keep turkeys and deer out of my rock garden. It's planted with deer-resistant plants, but they still tromped on it investigating things. Now, it has become a game with them. They check it out every day. It's like they are playing in the sprinklers! A few more deer now than before. But it WORKS. They do not touch the garden, nor do they hang around it. And it's fun for me to watch out my kitchen window.

To start with, I firstr saw one in a feed store, but the price was $60. I figured I could do better on the net. Unless you are protecting a narrow dead-end alley, these guys are best used in concert. Working together, they are a hoot. Also, bringing the water source through the first Gremlin to the second requires only one faucet, and works just fine. They are a hoot to watch, as they back each other up, and completely confound our agressive deer population. I have just replaced the batteries (very easy to do). Finally, our tomato plants are safe! The deer love my wifes beautiful flowers too. Did I mention that we are going to purchase two more?

I have 6 of these. Pretty serious Deer problem which has been very frustrating and expensive. So far, the Scarecrow's have done the trick. I have a little vegetation eaten just outside the spray zone, but no damage inside the area. I will be buying one more. I have 2 from last year that have held up well, and actually using the same batteries. I would recommend these to anyone with a pest problem that can be controlled by using these. A hose long enough etc.

Easy to set up and use. Keeps the deer out of the flower beds. We can now enjoy the beauty of the yard. Only issue is the water leaks take some care in stopping.

They work great and have kept the deer out of the roses. Looks like they will keep the blue herron out of the fish pond also. Great Customer Service!

Works like a charm. Beats the heck out of installing a fence, not to mention straightening every post in the spring. Excellent device.
