ScareCrow
Sprinkler Components
The Scarecrow requires a garden hose
connection and one alkaline 9 volt battery.
Hand assembly of the components takes just minutes.
Assembled Unit
The Scarecrow consistently creates a memorable
and unpleasant experience through a combination of: 
-
sudden unexpected noise
-
unexpected movement, and
-
water spray.
The animal immediately associates this
unpleasant experience with the location. To avoid similar
surprises, they begin to avoid the area. While humans flee
several steps after activating a Scarecrow motion-activated
sprinkler, animals are scared to a much greater degree, run
much further and stay away longer.
We attribute this difference in part to the
inherent fight or flight survival 
response found in most animals and their lack of intelligence
or ability to ?figure out? what caused the annoying noise and
motion.
Other reasons why the Scarecrow works:
-
Training/repelling is consistent at the
location, 24 hours a day.
-
It is the environment rather than a person
or other animal doing the 'conditioning'.
-
The water spray is sufficiently surprising
and unpleasant to communicate an immediate, 'Leave now'
message. ScareCrow
