The Orbit Yard Enforcer (TM) Motion-Activated Sprinkler protects landscapes and gardens from animals and pests. A powerful combination of spray, motion and noise not only acts as a deterrent to scare off animals, but also conditions them to stay away from the enforced area. The heat and motion-activated sensor detects movement from up to 40 feet away and triggers the valve to spray a burst of water. The heavy-duty metal dual-step spike allows you to position the Yard Enforcer wherever you need it in your yard. The Yard Enforcer is also the only motion-activated sprinkler that includes a flow-through outlet above the valve. That means you can add sprinklers to the enforced area that are triggered by the sensor as well. The dual-purpose sprinkler has a timed watering feature that allows you to water your garden 30 minutes at a time. Fences are expensive; netting is inconvenient. Keep deer away from vegetable gardens, cats out of flowerbeds, birds from strawberry patches and ponds, and dogs away from lawns without the use of harmful methods: Don't hurt em, just squirt em.
