The ScareCrow Protects
Your Ponds
from Preditors
How
it Works
The Scarecrow senses animals the same way security lights detect
people; movement and heat. When an animal, such as a great blue
heron or a raccoon, is seen, a valve opens instantly releasing a
three-second pulsating spray of water.
The
combination of the sudden noise, movement, and water frightens animals
away. This startling, yet harmless action is a remarkably effective
deterrent.
Why it Works
The Scarecrow invokes a memorable and unpleasant form of deterrence
through a combination of:
- Sudden
Unexpected Noise
- Unexpected
Movement
- Water
Spray
This
unpleasant experience is quickly associated with the location. To
avoid similar surprises they begin to avoid the area. While humans
flee several steps after activating a Scarecrow motion activated
sprinkler, animals are scared to a much greater degree, run much
further and stay away longer.
We
attribute this difference in part to the inherent ‘fight or
flight’ survival mechanism found in most animals and their
lack of intelligence or ability to ‘figure out’ what caused
the annoying noise and motion.
