    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.

    First off I would tell anyone that this product truly works. If you have any hesitation, my review along with all the others should be proof enough.

    I purchased the Scarecrow Sprinkler last year after coming back from vacation to find a brand new shade garden I had planted completely decimated by local deer. We have a family of about 8 deer that I try to keep away, but my neighbors have other agendas. They “feed” the deer with corn which attracts them and frustrates me more and more [if Contech invents a neighbor deterrent, please let me know 😉 ]

    After mourning the $500+ I lost in plants and shrubs, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I started with “deer-b-gone” or some sort of “organic” deer repellant. It washes away, isn’t cheap, smells bad and flat out doesn’t work.

    I then came across the Scarecrow and decided to give it the old “college try”. Well folks, IT WORKS. No more deer, but uh-oh a flaw. Just like others, you have to… Read more
