5 out of 5 stars Super product   August 9, 2005
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I live in the woods sorta, where deer are constantly coming in eating my lillies, roses, just destroying my beautiful gardens and veggie gardens..When I heard about this product I had to try it..So far I still have my beautiful gardens. We can sit and watch the deer coming in but they don't go near my gardens..


5 out of 5 stars It Actually Works!   June 29, 2005
 18 out of 19 found this review helpful

We bought the Scarecrow because of the problems we had with our neighbors cats. The cats would come into our yard and use it as their litterbox. We live in Arizona and have a gravel backyard, so it could easily be mistaken for a litterbox by a cat.

We had tried many remedies prior to purchasing this device. The internet was a wealth of knowledge on what to do for cat problems. Most of them had some degree of effectivness but none of the solutions were long lasting. The pepper would blow away in the wind, the tabasco would wash off in the rain.

We ordered the Scarecrow from the Amazon approved dealer because we have had very positive results when ordering from Amazon and their affiliated partners. The cost was a bit higher but the piece of mind was worth it.

When the device arrived we immediately set it up in the backyard. Remember that you need one 9 volt battery for the sensor to work. The device works by reading a range of almost 180 degrees with a sensitivity knob so it won't fire and shoot a stream of water if a leaf blows by. The sprinkler head is adjustable both to horizontal range as well as vertical range. I set the device to fire just at the about the top level of our brick fence so as not to soak my neighbors yard. She was told about the sprinkler also so if her cats came home wet, she would know why.

The Scarecrow did a great job of keeping the cats out of our yard. I was very impressed with it. I never heard it fire but left the hose attached and the device on all the time for the first week. The connections were tight and did not leak. The spike on the bottom of the device was strong enough and sturdy enough to survive being pounded into the tough Arizona ground. I didn't put the funky stickers on though. I figured if it was that easy to scare the cats, I could just put a drawing outside; besides the strong Arizona sun would just bake them off.

In very short order the problems we had in that section of our yard were gone. The problem though, is cats are not as stupid as one would hope. The cats just cut through the front yard and hopped the fence on the other side of the yard and did their business there which would necessitate the purchase of a second Scarecrow. We moved away from Arizona prior to purchasing a second Scarecrow but I am sure that it would have proven as successful as the first.

Our water bill remained the same since the Scarecrow only fires for short bursts and the cats won't stay in range that long.

Overall, very worth the cost. This is one device that works as well, if not better, than it is supposed to. I would not hesitate to recommend this device to anyone with animal or pest problems. It is safe, non-toxic and user friendly. Your neighbors who own the pests should not be upset with wet animals and it is better than neighborly discord.



4 out of 5 stars Great but not perfect   June 15, 2005
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

We have used one of these scarecrows for 2 seasons and will say it works 90% of the time. It especially works when we forget it's there and walk into the middle of the garden and get blasted. But today I went out and saw my row of squash nibbled to nubs, so obviously it didn't catch that critter. We've had problems in the past with ants building a colony in front of the sensor, so it's important to open the housing and check it once in a while, especially if it doesn't seem to be working as well as it used to. Since we have a lot of animal problems (ground hogs and deer), it's on alert 24/7 so it's much better than having nothing. We've decided to buy another one for the other side of the garden. 2 sensors have to be better than 1.


5 out of 5 stars I have 4 of them!!   June 14, 2005

I have tried everything to keep the deer from eating my plants. Our house is next to a huge forest and seemed to be the first course on their trip through our neighborhood. Well I have 4 strategically placed Scarecrows and they don't touch anything. Everyone else on our street now have their plants mowed down by the deer. I even have on in my front yard that is also triggered when someone walks by. Fun to see them jump ;-) It's also fun to watch the deer approach the Scarecrow and then jump 6 feet in the air when it goes off. Of course I forget about once a month and walk into one. It looks like I wet myself and is good for a laugh at myself.


5 out of 5 stars Scares animals but not kids, they love them so do I   December 10, 2004
 17 out of 18 found this review helpful

There's no dispute that this products works. I have three of them for a year now protecting my flower and vegetable garden. No deer or ground hogs have come near my garden in that time. I've taken the Scarecrow in for the winter, but as soon as planting season arrives they'll be back in action.

The other thing to mention about the Scarecrow is that young children love them. I have two boys 3 year old and 18 months that love to play around the system. They love running back and forth shouting, "watch out for the Scarecrow." The blast of water from the Scarecrow is safe even at a very close distances (I've been hit many times). It's just a hoot. I'm not sure how many seasons it will last. But even if I have to replace them all next year, it was a worthwhile investment. Enjoy...
