Customer Reviews for ScareCrow Sprinkler Motion Activated Animal Deterrent

Would give this product a 5 star review if they lasted more than a season. This is the fourth ScareCrow we have bought so far. They work wonderful and can be adjusted for distance and sensitivity. I use two in the garden and they keep the deer out. Problem is only one of the four has lasted more than a year. I remove the battery when I put them up for the winter and store them inside out of the weather. In the spring when I take them out of storage they inevitably fail. I've reset them as instructed and even put brand new batteries in them. I'm a retired engineer so I pride my self on being able to repair most things. Problem with these is, short of replacing the motion sensor nothing can be done. Yes I've adjusted water pressure to numerous psi.

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.

I bought this to keep small birds away from my pool but it doe not always detect them and when it does go off, it dose not scare them. Also it kicks on about every 5 min or so even though nothing is there to activate it. I might use it in my garden as it does scare the dog so at least it will keep her out. I think this item is over priced for what it is and how it works.
