   Bought this to keep the wild turkeys off of our landscape. Motion detection is very sensitive and can adjust the filed of spray fairly easily. However, on top of the very high quality electronic mechanism, Orbit decided to put the cheapest plastic sprinkler head which was essentially useless. I purchased a better metal sprinkler head and now I can control the exact coverage of the spray. My neighbors appreciate not getting hit by spray when walking their dogs past our house. I love the fact that the sprinkler only comes on for a few seconds, just enough to scare away the birds without flooding the yard. The only other negative is the sensitivity of the motion detector is that cars driving by our house set it off, but that is acceptable trade off.

   It has kept my front yard from being the neighborhood "cat box" from the day I installed this Yard Enforcer. I used to come out and find cat crap in my yard, and stains on my house from all the tomcats marking their territory, along with cat fights at night. Not any more. It takes some fiddling to get it adjusted , but it works. The only problem I have with it is that you must turn up the sensitivity to high in order for it to identify small animals. That means that every person, care, bicycle, etc, that goes down the street activates the Yard Enforcer. A small price to pay for no more cats in my yard!

   We have been enjoying watching the cats RUN on our yard-cam! In our very urban area, houses packed all together, the cats just poop in the middle of the grass, seemingly best if it's newly mown. Our revenge is sweet. We have accidentally sprayed neighbors on their Coved 19 walks. They have laughed and continue to ask us to set it up when we have forgotten to set it up after mowing. The animals don't habitually poop in our yard any more. We can enjoy the neighbors again without being resentful after picking up their pets poop.

   There is nothing so disheartening as coming out into the vegetable garden to find some critter has destroyed your plants and eaten the fruit of your labors! These motion activated systems really work! Not only do they spray water, they also make a noise, which adds to the effect. And this version also works at night, when many critters are out and about. Decades ago I invested in the original ScareCrow. These are cheaper and also work at night. I am excited about gardening again. I bought three and have linked them with pieces of hose so they are positioned around the garden. Before installing, there were footprints in the garden and the peas were destroyed. After installing, all is well!

   I love this thing and I waited entirely too long to set it up. After observing people n the Ring Cameras walking their dogs through my corner lot of solitude, I had enough. It works great and now I get a chuckle as the perpetrators actually stop on the sidewalk trying to decide if I'm watering the grass and creating a deterrence! Highly recommend if you have inconsiderate dog owners in your neighborhood. For some reason, that seems to be a common theme with crappy neighbors.

   I was hesitant to order this because of the cost, but after researching several, decided I'd give it a try. I live in the country and my neighbor's cat hops our fence and kills the wild bunnies on our property, usually right in front of my house. The neighbor doesn't care, so I thought this might deter the cat from coming onto our property.

   If you want to get rid of cats wandering around your property ... buy this thing. I tried a bunch of natural deterrents and did nothing. I got rid of cats pooping on my front yard mulch. Motion sensing is a bit hit or miss. I have the range to almost nothing and got cars or people walking like 30 ft away so you kinda have to point it down. Again for some people, this would be ideal but there is not much control over the sensitivity range. I wish it had a setting to use even less water as sometimes you could get some false readings ( cars ). Honestly, I'm not trying to complain about this product as I no longer have to be smelling cat poop when I open my front door every day. Lastly, the form factor for 'small' animals I was not able to reproduce even with the information on the instructions ... seems that is not really an option based on videos and instruction images.

   For years I've tried nearly every deer deterrent available (sprays, pellets, predator blood powders, urine, plastic netting, and electrical frequency deterrent systems) with each new "solution" never fully succeeding -- until I moved to deterrent sprinklers. The Scarecrow worked well for two years then began to leak even though I was careful to bring indoors before winter. In 2017, I moved to the very well constructed and designed Yard Enforcer and feel I've finally succeeded in this decades long search. This year is year 3 with no complaints. My yard is on the edge of 30 acres of undeveloped Douglas fir and Garry oak forest habitat in the Willamette Valley of OR. I encounter deer daily.

   When we first got it there was a part that didn't work so we called them and they sent a replacement part. Well it turns out that one was also defective and so they replaced that and it now works great. It keeps chipmunk s out away from our fruit trees and it also keeps the squirrels and birds from getting near them. I have to say our dog now knows her boundaries. Love it. Thanks you guys for taking the time to send us the replacements. Like a company that stands behind it's product

   I'm very pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone having critter issues. I have/had a problem with Sand Hill cranes chewing up the lawn. They definately hate these sprinklers and it's fun to see them leave when they trip the sensor. The only problem that I found is that because they detect both heat and motion, when the sun comes up and shines directly on the sensor, it triggers. In my situation, that's ok because the grass that was destroyed is coming back because if the short bursts of water. Sand Hills seem to be pretty smart, because once they figure out the detection area, they avoid that area. Periodically moving the sprinkler has kept them in check. No more destruction of the lawn since I set up two of these units. Just a note, however; in Florida they are protected birds, so check with your local regulations first. I had to obtain a permit from the state to chase them.
