My husband and I were very disappointed to see that neighborhood rabbits had eaten our bean and pea plants to the stem after only two days of being in the ground. We wanted to keep the rabbits out of the garden area without chemicals, unsightly chicken wire, or traps. We purchased the scarecrow and absolutely love it! After replanting, our bean and pea plants are healthy and growing. The scarecrow seems to be doing its job of letting the rabbits know they are not welcome in the garden area. I have told friends and family about our happy results. I would recommend this item to anyone looking for a solution to unwanted intruders.Customer Review: A good, if expensive solution

Before I bought my house I thought cats went in a litterbox. Well some do, but my yard is apparently more appealing to Leo, my neighbor's cat, who is old and incontinent.
If you are reading this you know that none of the sprays, repellants, etc do anything at all and should be removed from the market. But dog-gonnit, the Scarecrow works.
There are a few minor things you should know, however. First, if you care about the Scarecrow leaking, be sure to assemble the unit with Teflon tape. Second, the Scarecrow is entirely plastic, right down to the spike that you drive into the ground. Not a big deal perhaps, but if your ground is hard you won't be hammering the Scarecrow into the dirt. Finally, if your yard is good sized you'll probably need two so crap avoidance has its price.
--And don't forget to run your hose in such a way that you can turn the water off before you approach the Scarecrow, because it will spray anything in its path; birds, the mailman, anything. This raises some interesting possibilities if you are plagued by door to door salesmen.
Customer Review: A whole new world!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The scarecrow has opened a whole new world of landscaping opportunites for me!!! For 2 years I have shared my home with about 20 deer. I love the animals and feed them twice a day in an area across my pond BUT they loved to have dessert in my landscaping. I have spent $$$$ trying all types of sprays with deterrent odors without success. An electric fence worked OK but looked so bad. The scarecrows (currently I am using 4 of them) have been working perfectly for the past month that I have had them out. The deer have learned NOT to approach these areas at all, as have my cats, the squirrels, and the rabbits...not sure about the armadillos yet. I have been able to plant flowers of my choice in planters on my stone patio, I have ROSES!!! I have a small garden. ALL of these areas are protected by my scarecrows and are flourishing. My deer still graze in my yard and certainly visit my feeder but we are cohabitating in a wonderful way. They have become part of my scenery that I now can enjoy. Several are now pregnant and two, I believe, are carrying twins. SO...the scarecrow has given me my landscaping back while preserving my privlege to view my wildlife. A SUPER DUPER WONDERFUL product!!!!Customer Review: Adjustable?
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm interested in purchasing a Scarecrow, but had a question - is the range of motion detection adjustable? Because I have a small square of grass, no more than 10' x 10', that I need covered, not 1000 square feet. Thanks for any help you can give me.
