Just hook it up to your garden hose, plug in the battery and point it over the area to be protected. It's that easy. ScareCrow senses animals the same way security lights detect people; movement and heat. When an animal is seen, a valve opens instantly releasing a three-second pulsating spray of water. The combination of the sudden noise, movement, and water frightens animals away. This startling, yet harmless action is a remarkably effective deterrent. A 9-volt battery and a hookup to a garden hose is all you need to operate your ScareCrow. Battery life is measured in the THOUSANDS of activations. As a rule, the baterry should easily last through an average summer's use. Up to 1000 square feet can be covered by one ScareCrow. A 35 foot deep and 45 foot wide 100 degree sensor detection zone provides plenty of garden protection. If you've tried other solutions that failed, you're ready for the ScareCrow.
Customer Review: works, but not on smart racoons
This works as advertised - sensor is good, detects animals as small as a squirrel and sprays water for 8 seconds. My racoon problem, however, still remains. At least the one in my neighbourhood doesn't seem to be too bothered by splashing water! Subbu
Customer Review: Scarecrow works!
This is the best squirrel deterrent so far. We tried pepper spray, blood powder (?), and other stinky spray but our Brooklyn squirrels weren't deterred from digging up our expensive ground cover. We put off buying the Contech Scarecrow because of the price but it's the only thing that works. Simple to set up but you have to play with the direction of spray and it's scope to get the best effect (it may be good to change this every few weeks to keep the critters on their toes). It doesn't hurt them (I read somewhere that pepper spray can blind them) and it's FUN to watch them try to avoid the spray or get zapped by it. One problem is that they can still dig right under the Scarecrow where the spray doesn't reach but their little brains don't remember that from day to day. I wish I had bought it sooner. Great product--wish it was $20 cheaper.
