Tools & Hardware : Contech Electronics Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler #CRO101

Rating: - Contech Scarecrow
I must admit I was skeptical but this product has proven to be as advertised. Usually by this time of year our plants and flowers are chewed down to the roots by deer and other wildlife. Not the case this year. Everything is as we planted. I would recommend it to anyone.... it has been very effective. If you place it by your front door it is advisable to warn visitors but it's good for a laugh.

Rating: - The scarecrow isn't all that scary
I installed the product and did not have trouble getting it to work initially.

After a while, it seemed like it lost sensitivity and needed to be reset. It had stopped responding to motion. I reset it and reconfigured it, and it worked again.

It seems like I have to go fiddle with it periodically for it to work correctly, which isn't great. But, it's a pretty inexpensive device so I guess I got what I paid for.

Pros: Cheap. Works well when it works.

Cons: Needs to be fiddled with periodically to keep it working.

Rating: - The scarecrow that can even keep Batman away.
Cats using your bedding like a giant litter box,...squirrel attacking your flowers or vegetables....NO MORE.
After having tried,sprays,pellets,liquids,ect...next to buying a dog this is one wonderful product.
It might take a little while to get the right settings for your yard but it works great.I move it around after a couple days even not putting it out sometimes so that the animals dont get use to it.
I dont have a deer problem but if it works on cats and dogs, I wouldn't think a deer would be a problem at all.
The motion sensor in conjuction with the infra-red keeps it from going off when the wind blows..branches,leaves,,a garden flag. This is the one thing that will truly work, and if you have a larger area to cover get several.
One thing.... make sure if its set up near an entrance way.... you let every in the house know....... some people just dont have a sense of humor late at night.

Rating: - Scarecrow for the garden
I bought the Scarecrow for my husband to put in the garden to help keep the deer and rabbits from eating our goods. Worked great for about 3 weeks then it broke. Too expensive for it to not work longer than 3 weeks. While it did work it did a great job at keeping the animals away, but certainly not worth $60.

Rating: - Prettiest Plants in Deer Land
I was unsure about ordering the Scarecrow but wanted to try it since the deer were eating my "deer proof" plants at night in the front of the house. I wasn't sure I had set it up exactly right but within a week, I noticed all the plants were trying to grow back and seemed to be thriving. This device lets me plant varieties no one else would dare try in this deer infested neighborhood.
Since our deer feed at night, it's easy to set the Scarecrow on a hose timer and shut it off during the daytime to protect the mailman and joggers. But in this very hot summer, if a passerby were to get a spray or two, would it be so wrong??
This product WORKS!!
