Tools and Hardware Reviews of Contech CRO101 Scarecrow Motion Activated Sprinkler
Customer Review: Best deterent yet
Summary: 5 Stars
I have feral cats that use my yard every night as their litter box. They do not like the water spray and try to use alternate routes to enter the yard. It is a motion detector and catches them unaware. I move the Scarecrow around every couple nights and have had no problems.Customer Review: Best purchase in a long time!
Summary: 5 Stars
This works great! I plan to buy another to get full coverage of my garden. It comes with the "scarecrow" decals not applied so if you do not want them, it is a plain black box. We opted to attach the decals and think it looks great! It senses every animal that has tried to enter the garden including those pesky wild turkeys. I highly recommend this.Customer Review: Best solution ever !
Summary: 5 Stars
I have spent a fortune on products claiming to deter cats and non have worked including all the internet suggestions like citrus and garlic. My neighbors let their cats and dogs roam the neighborhood and my landscape (colored mulch) has become their litter box. This product is amazing and I didn't think cats were that smart (to remember getting wet!) Of course I got wet several times myself in the process of adjusting. After using for a few days the cats moved to the opposite side of my property and left their little bundles. So I moved the unit over to that side and they haven't been back since. Amazing and easy to use. Will take a little patience to get it adjusted correctly.Customer Review: Best solution to keep cats away from your yard
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great solution to keep cats (or other animals) away from your yard. It is easy to install and works really well. I installed in my yard and within days, all signs of cats were gone. The knob to adjust the sensitivity of the scarecrow is a bit tricky to calibrate and the sensitivity of the sensor varies with temperature. It took a bit of trial and error to figure out where to set it and prevent a water splash when people or cars are passing. Overall, a great tool and a great solution.Customer Review: Better Than "Spray Away" Pattern - On Havahart's Model 5265.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the competitor's Havahart Spray Away which wasn't terrible I have to say. However, I really believe that the spray pattern, arc range functions is much better and smoother on this one (the Contech). It's more likely to "nail" and water spritz the raccoon's I've been so desparately trying to deter from rolling up my slow to root new sod. This was from a home property re-grading project. In addition, I highly recommend putting a cheaper portable AM/FM (AC or DC) radio in a kitchen sized, Hefty trash bag out where the new sod is (in the middle somewhere) IF you have this similar or same problem. I mean WITH RACCOON's rolling up, pulling back the rooting new sod. The little guys are looking for their food meal like grubs, larvae and other insects. So, the purpose of the radio is to tune it to a talk show on AM for instance, play it at an audible volume level during darkness NOT disturbing your neighbors. As in overnight. It really works! I was so amazed. I think that the raccoons don't exactly enjoy the prospects of human's being nearby with the voices. I mean, it was only one night but I'm now really much more optimistic I'll finally have success with them leaving the sod alone. These repellents such as Bonide repellent-ALL-animals crap that don't work is a huge waste of $. There aren't any registered repellents on any state's DNR web site except Capsaicin (hot chili peppers) on raccoon's. Don't let anyone at these nurseries tell you any differently. I had spoken to an "expert" Horticulturalist at my local nursery and none of the expensive remedies had worked or was even close to being correct. They want to sell you their expensive urines, chemicals, etc... What a waste!!! Bottom line: I'd recommend this motion detector sprinkler sprayer with an AM/FM radio playing at night to deter RACCOONS. Try it, you can always return it within 30 days.
