Contech Electronics Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler #CRO101/CRO102
Finally a way to keep unwanted animals out of the garden and protect your yard, fruit trees, vegetables and flowers from hungry or destructive creatures. Cats, dogs, deer, rabbits, large birds, and many others. The patented Scarecrow motion-activated sprinkler is the smartest scarecrow ever invented. When it sees an intruder it instantly releases full garden hose water pressure towards the trespasser. The effect is both startling and immediate. Animals quickly get out of the area and avoid it in the future.The ScareCrow motion-activated sprinkler is constructed of durable, high-quality materials, and has been designed to provide many years of reliable service.

Using the ScareCrow is easy. Simply attach a standard garden hose to its base, set the ScareCrow in the ground in the area you want to protect, and then turn on the water. Once you switch the unit on, it is ready to go.

How does it work?
The ScareCrow uses a combination of sudden noise, unexpected movement, and a startling blast of water to create a memorable and unpleasant experience for the trespasser.
The animal immediately associates this unpleasant experience with the location, and to avoid similar surprises, learns to avoid the area. If an animal chooses to return, the ScareCrow will be waiting.
While a human may flee several steps after activating a ScareCrow, animals are typically affected to a much greater degree. In most cases they run much farther, and stay away longer. Because the unit only triggers when the animal moves, its behavior is difficult for animals to anticipate, making it a very effective deterrent.

Customer Review: Works great!!!
We purchased the scarecrow to stop the Blue Heron’s from eating our Koi fish in our pond. We tried an owl, plastic heron (moved to different locations frequently) and nothing worked. UNTILL—we purchased the scarecrow. It has been great and no fish missing. I must say my grand-kids also love it to run through and make it squirt them. Teriffic product.

Customer Review: It worked on me!!!
I use three Sarecrows to protect my garden. One morning I forgot to turn off the water. The blast from one of the “crows’ caused me to drop everything i was carrying and scamper out of the garden. it startled the tar out of me!

Only negative so far is battery life is about 1 month. I am now trying rechargeable batteries.

Customer Review: I love Breyer but this set sucked
I love breyer I had just started colleting breyer and this looked like a great saddle set to help me start when I got home Hi, I tried it on my breyer when I was putting it on the bridle snaped by the ears a few days later the anther part of the bridle snapped and the surups stretched. I also found out that the sturups dangled so far off the horse that my rider can’t put her feet in to them. I also found out that the helmet did not fit on my breyer rider’s head! If you are thinking about buying breyer tack you are better off buying the hunter/jumper bridle and saddle.
Customer Review: Breyer saddle set
I am very mad at this saddle set first off I JUST GOT RIPPED OFF FOR A WHOLE BUNCH OF CRAP!!! this saddle set is horrible the bridle is too big for the horse and the saddle is horrible the girth for the saddle is fell apart when I put it on, the Breyer tack stinks, but their Breyer models don’t I collected them when I was three and I have about 103 breyer stuff I love Breyer models!
