NEW & IMPROVED-Exclusive to Birds Off, The Sonic Scarecrow has an inbuilt motion sensor that detects movement up to 10 meters, when activated the jet of water will spray for approximately 5 seconds. Birds and animals (Possums, Ducks, Cats, Dogs, Roos and wildlife) will associate being sprayed within the area, and will avoid it in the future. The combination of the spray, along with the movement of the head, and the clicking noise of the distribution valve that sounds when the jet of water is activated frighthens the pest birds/animals away. The jet is only reactivated when movement is once again detected ensuring high effectiveness with little water consumption. The scarecrow is ideal for keeping pest birds and animals off the dock, jetty, pontoon, garden, yard and pool areas. This product is a safe, humane, and effective way to deter pests. An effective alternative to harmful chemicals and unattractive netting. Need to cover a larger area no problems you can link several together!
Works day and night covering up to 130 sqm.
Ideal Spots to use the Scarecrow Motion Activated Sprinkle
• Pool areas
• Gardens or ponds
• Beach front areas
• Lawns
• Koi ponds for herons
• Athletic fields
Installation
The scarecrow is very easy to install. You simply place 4 x AA batteries (not supplied) into the compartment below the “head”, and attach a garden hose to the base. Works night and day.
The scarecrow has a stake for easy installation in grass areas.
Secure the scarecrow in an area 10m or less from where the pests are a problem.
Need to cover a bigger area?
No problem you can hook them up in a series by removing the flow through cap and connecting them together.
Make sure the on switch is adjusted and you are ready to go turning tap to approx 30% pressure so not to blow the head! (must have water pressure not boat water pump)
Now that is a great idea ! Exclusive to Birds Off !

No more duck poo in the pool! This thing really works! Simple to install, although the stake is very flimsy and we needed to attach it to our own sprinkler base. Apart from that, a winner!

Because of the structure around our pond, I originally installed the Hydro-Blast about a meter above the water level.
Our troublesome cormorant didn't seem to be to fussed by it. I assumed he came in under the detection zone.
So I built a mounting that got it down to nearer water level.
We don't appear to have had any cormorant visits since, so either he was chased off by the earlier system, or the new location is working better.
I still have to adjust the zones, as it goes off if I walk by.
So far, so good.

Great device for deterring unwanted garden intruders
The ground spike is a bit flimsy given the weight of the blaster itself, have had to reinforce this with extra support.
The spray mechanism is also not that robust but has lasted so far
We have an older version of this device which was much more solid in construction
Overall happy with this product though

Hi Guys, we'd just like to tell you that the Scare Crow motion activated water spray was successful from day one.
We have a family of five Bush Turkeys who excavated our backyard daily. They are not easy to scare and you have to almost grab them to physically scare them off.
However the Scare Crow (we call it the Water Sniper) is totally effective in its range.
Nightime blasts suggest it's having a shot at the neighbourhood cats too, so it is in fact protecting our wildlife.
Thank you !

It was alot of fun to set up, got wet a few times. The sensor picks up pretty well, mostly dogs and cats and bigger birds like Ducks but they need to be within 5 to 7 meters of the unit. Its good how you can turn it on or off and the sensor up or down. The range and pitch of water can also be adjusted. Great little package.
