Mechanical ScareCrow - pretty darn good!

By Karen in Brentwood, TN on 04/27/2016

This mechanical scare-crow is pretty darn good! It's a little tricky to get set up properly and it leaks just a bit. The part are all plastic - the instructions actually tell you not to tighten the fi…

scarecrow

By Desiree in Morriston, Fl. on 07/27/2016

Love this to keep my chickens off my lanai. Sensor is tricky but this is a God send product for me since I let the Hens free range. I think a Battery should be included with the purchase.

Too early to tell

By Barry in Riverview, Florida on 04/09/2013

I'm still trying to work with the unit. I have some kind of varmint digging up my garden. The scarecrow didn't deter whatever it is. I think it may be Armadillos, since I have seen them in the yard…

Scarecrow Sprinkler

Motion portion works as advertised, but the actual sprinkler head adjustment will not stay in lowest position. Have two others from 1 year ago and the sprinkler mechanism (though the same) seems to be…

Pretty Good

By Terrie in Tempe, AZ on 02/17/2014

My challenge is attaching it to the ground. I live in a dry area and the plastic is too flimsy to be shoved into the hard ground. My bucket with sands and rocks is not as stable as I like and I am sti…

By Bill in Chalfont PA on 07/03/2014

My problem is with groundhogs. They ate all my seedlings down to nothing immediately after planting. I replanted and installed the ScareCrow. The scarecrow worked great for about 6 weeks. After that t…

ScareCrow Sprinkler

By Virginia in Washington State on 09/07/2014

Sensor is hard to control, if you set it too high it will go off with just a motion of a car on a road 50 feet away, set it too low it doesn't go off at all.

Does not work for cats

By Jesus in Hialeah, FL on 07/15/2014

Although very ingenious, this sprinkler does not work well for small animal. It is difficult to regulate. If the sensitivity is high, even passing car by the street trigger it.

By Arnie in Gates Oregon on 04/19/2015
