Contech ScareCrow®

Humanely protect your pond investment for pennies a month! Contech ScareCrow defends your koi and water garden against predators and destructive animal intruders without traps, poisons, electricity, or fencing. Motion-activated outdoor animal deterrent instantly releases a short but startling burst of water when it detects an animal within a 1,200 sq ft perimeter. The sudden water, movement and noise scare animals away, helping teach them to avoid the area in the future.

Contech ScareCrow is safe and environmentally friendly, using only 1-2 cups of water each deterrence defending your pond night and day for up to 6 months on a single 9V battery (sold separately). Simply stake into ground and attach to your garden hose. Link multiple ScareCrows in large yards for maximum defense. Trusted by gardeners for more than a decade. Measure 7-1/2" x 25-1/2" fully assembled.

For convenient installation on posts or walls, use with optional Mounting Bracket.

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.

*Some small animals might not be seen at this distance

Reminder for ScareCrow use in winter:
To prevent damage from freezing water, take the ScareCrow inside and remove the battery before the first winter frost. Failure to do so may cause some parts to break as ice expands inside.
