lol, I have seen this in more advertisements, since I'm familiar with it now, it does come highly recommended, and since I have the one, I haven't had any deer droppings or Bear visits! I do believe it works, harmless, very funny if you could catch the action on video, but YES, I'm getting a second one, and the price is right! $50 plus change, and free shipping, thanks to Amazon, at least when I bought my first one. Still, if there's shipping I'll pay it, as my cost of putting in my gardens, and my body ackes and pains, it's well worth the cost!! I really can't say if it works, but yet, I feel it does, till you hear it go off, and look outside, what ever set it off is long gone! I just know that since the bear came for a visit before the scarecrow, he hasn't been back since!! So you figure it out! No rabbits, no squirrels, nothing!! Nothing has been in my garden but those dang tomato horn worms, out there everyday picking the ugly slimy things off and drowning them in soapy water! Ewww! Seven dust, neem oil, I'm having war with them! But, no Bear , or anything else. Now, if I could only keep the armadillo out of the yard. He's bold, my dogs bark up a noise, wakes us up, I turn the yard lights on, if there not already on, and than he scoots! This is why I need 2 scarecrows. Heck, I'd buy 3! Keep all the critters out of my yard! no harm done! We chased them out of their natural habitat, but we also need to survive!
Gracesmom, did you get yours yet, I didn't have to make any adjustments! My fenced in raised bed gardens are about 30 ft wide, 10 ft deep, 1st picture: My hubby set the SC up and than walked along the back side of the fence, this stream of water hit him in the face, no adjustments needed! I think depending on the lay out of the land, you need that stream of water to hit what it is you want to " run away!" 2ndPic: I'm putting a picture up, where during the day, to keep the squirrels out of the bird feeders, my DH went out and set it up on a ladder, tree
height for bird feeders, and those tree rats, it kept them away, which is why I want to buy another, it doesn't bother the birds! And that is where my 2nd garden is! If anyone has questions, please ask! Due to the fact I have no video of this scarecrow working, as what the actual selling point videos have, here again, very pee in your pants funny, I swear it works! Everyone in my neighborhood is having problems with the bears getting into their garbage, not us! I live up against a protected reserve for displaced animals. All woods!!!!! Something has to be working, I even have a compost pile, a green house, and a garden shed, nothing bother's us, except a pain in the butt armadillo!!! I guess I would need a 3rd, as he travels all over the yard, you can't predict where he;s comming in, or leaving! Enjoy, and let me know how you all make out if you buy the scarecrow! It works!!!!!
Have a happy shiny day in your non messed gardens! Jami

The first picture is just of the scarecrow! I think, so hard to see the little thumb nails! For some reason I can't find the picture I wanted to put up here.
The bottom line is, you get the point, I've had it and so far it's worked, now, it;s your turn to tell me what your doing and have you gotten your own scarecrow?

I will try to get some picture's of my DD's walking in front of it, especially if I get up in the morning, and forget to turn the hose off! lol!
