Description
Details:
The Sonic Scarecrow or Garden Sentinel as it is sometimes known is a motion activated sprinkler that sprays a stream of water each time motion is sensed. Birds, bats and animals (Possums, Cats, Dogs, Deer, kangaroos, wild pigs and more) will associate being sprayed with the area, and will avoid it in the future (gives thieves of the human kind a fright as well!). The combination of the spray, along with the movement of the head, and the ticking sound of the sprinkler, will all work together to deter birds and animals from the area.
Applications:
Repels pest animals including dogs, cats, deer, rabbits and other garden pests. Also targets large birds such as herons, egrets, fruit bats, turkeys, ibis and cockatoos.
Motion detector effective up to 10 Meters straight forward and 13 meters side to side. Sprinkler directs water accurately up to 10 meters, protecting up to 100 Square metres.
Keep intrusive birds and animals out of your backyard, pool area, garden and more with the scarecrow motion activated sprinkler. The scarecrow can be used for large birds, geese, ducks, and animals like cats or possums. Not suitable for small birds.
- Only turn the tap on slightly, no more than 30% as it does not need much water. The Motion activated sprinkler is designed to operate between 30psi and 80psi. If your water pressure exceeds 80psi, install a pressure reduction valve on the tap. Partially opening the tap does not reduce pressure, only water quantity.
If using in area which is not sunny, remove solar panels and use non rechargeable batteries.
Recommended for use in small outdoor areas, such as:
- Yards & lawns
- Patios & gardens
- Plantings & ponds
- Garages & garbage areas
- Greenhouses

We had a problem with 2 dogs digging up the lawn and garden. Since we have used your product, the spray of water deters them and our lawn and garden look good again.
It’s not restricted to Bird Control!

We had a huge problem with corellas on the course.
The corellas will very quickly dig a dinner plate sized hole up to 10cm
deep. If you fill the hole in they will just return and dig it up
again.
Occasionally a magpie will also dig around the greens but they make
much smaller holes.
The sprinklers have been very successful and deterring these birds from
gathering on the greens. We have now purchased another 8 sprinklers since completing our initial trial.

It was so much fun seeing the neighbours cat jump and flee when it crossed the path of the sprinkler. It was just like a kick on the bum without the infliction of pain.
Thanks team.

Just like to say a super thanks for your great product, the motion activated Garden Sentinel.
I had a real problem with brush turkeys destroying my garden, ripping up and burying plants in never ceasing attempts to build mounds in my garden.
We have up to 30 brush turkeys in the reserve behind us due to constant feeding with white bread by an inconsiderate neighbor.
Hence they migrate to our yard, along with the mice and rats that feed on the scraps.
Fortunately our cat takes care of the rodents.
I run the sentinel in a shady mulched area with Alkaline batteries and the variable sensitivity, water range settings along with flow direction capabilities allow an almost perfect set up for that part of the garden.
New turkey activity now only occurs briefly, when I assume a new turkey enters that section, only to be seen hightailing it shortly after as they have a real aversion to the water as I’m sure you know.
I’ve been telling my neighbors of your very effective product, when possible in these difficult times.
My neighbor opposite told me about it by the way.
I will evaluate to see whether I need more to cover other parts of my garden.
Thanks again, only wish I had discovered it years ago.
Best regards
David Searson

We had a pair of wood ducks that decided to make our pool their new home. The amount of ‘green presents’ that they were leaving both in and around the pool were driving me insane. They returned multiple times each day within minutes or hours after being chased away, and I spending hours watching out for them and chasing them away. They would even come irrespective of whether someone was outside or not.
My wife spoke to Bird Control Australia and they recommended this product. It arrived on Wednesday, and was installed Wednesday afternoon. There was one small ‘green present’ on Thursday morning and the ducks have not been seen again since. The area around the pool is often wet when I check it in the morning, so even if they try and sneak in under the cover of darkness or when I’m not standing on guard duty – this still gets rid of them.
This product works !! Best money we’ve spent. It has already saved me hours of cleaning after only a week.
I am more than happy to recommend Bird Control Australia. I have contacted them several times subsequently, and on each and every occasion they have been more than helpful, even when I damaged the product through my own error.
UPDATE – The ducks subsequently concentrated their efforts on a neighbour’s pool down the street – so now they are buying one too.

Finally after 10 years we have managed to deter the very tame ducks fouling our pool and jetty. We encountered a problem with one of the sprinklers and Joe was very quick to sort that out for us much to our relief. Great service.

I set up one of these to keep the seagulls off my boat and it has been brilliant!
Arlene Rogers- QLD –
We had dozens of fruit bats coming to our fig tree. Not any more! Thanks for supplying such a great product which does not harm birds or animals but is yet so effective.
Elaine Walking –
Working a treat keeping the ducks away from the pool. Thanks!

The Motion Activated Sprinkler and Predator Eyes are keeping the deer away at night. They have saved our roses. Thank you
Richard from Queensland –
Since using this sprinkler on the garden there have been no signs of wallabies eating the plants. We are still finding some droppings on the deck but do not mind that at all. Both my wife and I are very happy with the results.
Anita Hayler –
Bird Control Australia have been fantastic from the start of ordering our bird sprinkler. The sprinkler has great coverage for our large 5m x 20m lawn and settings are very responsive to movement. The customer care with follow up calls has been fantastic. Highly recommended company with extensive knowledge of their products and great ethics. Many thanks!

We were looking for a solution to keep our chickens (and the neighbours cat) off our garden bed and we found one! This sprinkler is FANTASTIC! Thanks guys 😀
Caryl Costello –
This is a brilliant product. It is the only thing that has deterred bush turkeys from our garden and we tried everything previously. It has even worked to stop one that had built a mound in our pool garden while we were on holiday. We disassembled it and set up the sensor and it persisted in coming back dozens of times but was driven away by the water sensor until he finally gave up and went further afield.
Maria Russo –
I used to spend a lot of money on Duck Off, a chemical to put in the pool to help keep the ducks away and the results were average at best. Now I use this Motion Activated Sprinkler and I have the cleanest pool Ive ever had and do not need to resort to sprinklers! Ive just bought my second one after nearly 10 months as they dont seem to have a very long life but that makes sense as they have water running through them all the time and are exposed to the elements. Ive still saved a lot by not having to buy the Duck off. Thank you

Excellent device
Having lived on the North Shore in Sydney for the last 50 years we are acustomted to the wildlife, Not since we moved to our new address near the Manly Dam, did we realize that growing our fresh vegetables was becoming a thing of the past. as the birds,bush Turkey’s,Goanas,snakes,possums and many other creatures are always ready for a fresh snack . We tried everything and anything without any success. We then came across the team of Bird Control of Australia.
They knew the problem we encountered and solved this within a few days. How? They sent us their fantastic Hydroblast Scare Crow unit. It was a set and forget installation. We are now eating our fresh cucumbers, figs,avocado’s,carrots, chillies, lime,oranges and much more.
And should a possum try to eat our beloved avocado”s, it get”s a sudden burst of water sprayed at it, not doing any harm to the possum only frightening the possum,leaving us asleep during the possum’s night rampage. Whlie during the day we can leave the house without any worries what so ever, as the birds receive the same treatment, should we forget to turn on the water tap one day, no worries as the birds are very smart and do not come near our garden. Be wary, turn on the next day as the smart birds will be back.
We cannot praise the team high enough for their assistance we received with our queries.
Happy fruit and vegie growing

Assisting in my fight against wood ducks
Good success with The Scarecrow sprinklers so we’re ordering another one (and might even need 2 more!)

No more deer!
I thought deer were such beautiful creatures until they decimated my magnolia tree. The hydroblast has managed to scare them off. We are soooo grateful! Thank you team!

Duck Issues resolved – woohoo
Highly recommend this product and the service received was outstanding, delivery time within the same week as well, brilliant.
Being able to connect several of the sprinklers together to cover a large space was just another plus! Thank you so much

No more bush turkey
Finally rid of the bush turkey which was a pest in our Yard! Also very entertaining to see it get squirted! Thank you!
Andrew –
Great Service & Product.
Purchased this product as I was having an issue with a cat in my garden. Since using the hypoblast sprinkler I have not seen the cat. Had a small issue with the sensor and a small water leak. The company sent out a replacement the very next day. Great response and no trouble what so ever. Thank you for all your help! Highly recommend this product and the service I received.
Leo –
Fantastic!
We have possums, crows,turkey’s etc.etc.
Now we have a Scare Crow from Bird Control Australia and all our unwelcome and fruit eating friends have gone elsewhere. Our cucumbers are now the best in town. Get a Scare Crow and have peace of mind 24 Hrs a day.
Happy gardening. Leo
Fruitlover –
It works, brilliantly!!!
Our suburban peach tree attracts all the neighbourhood birds and last year despite netting we had no fruit. This year after installing the hydroblast scarecrow, they didnt stand a chance!! However 2 birds tried their best by side stepping along the fence inch by inch
but to no avail as the sensor detected them and scared them off. We turn it off during high wind but it is the best and most effective scarer that we have used and the peaches are so sweet and yummy!!!

Great
Great for motion, what about one triggered by voice activation ?
