Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I used to be buy a similar product, the original Contech "scarecrow", and I have gone through about ten over the last ten years. This is the first Yard Enforcer I tried. Knowing the weaknesses of the scarecrow I was hoping that this would be a better solution. I keep buying these motion sensor sprinkler to keep the deer, racoons, and geese out of our yard, and I normally have three of them set up at the same time to cover several areas at once. As soon as I opened the package I realized why this was a bit more expensive than the scarecrow. The Yard Enforcer is made of better materials, the stake and base are made of metal, and so is the hose connection, the plastic housing to which the sprinkler attaches is sturdier as well. The motion sensor part works very well and appears to have a better wide-angle sensitivity than the scarecrow. I like that you can actually adjust how long the sprinkler will stay activated. It's also a terrific idea to have two additional hose ports in case you want to hook up additional (standard) sprinklers to be triggered by the Yard Enforcer. I expect that this will last several years longer than the scarecrow before it breaks. I am glad I spent a little more money on this unit. If all goes well, I will be replacing the last few scarecrows I have with more Yard Enforcers.
