Motion Activated Sprinkler

by M A
Does anyone have a good place to get a motion activated sprinkler? I can special-order it from my local hardware store. They said it was going to take a while to get it

    M A, do you mean something that blasts water only when some animal/person goes near it?

    Carroll, it does a good job. Finds motion then shoots a blast of water. I've been hit just walking past the pond. You have to know where it shoots water.

    I googled it too. Then called my mother and told her about this. She has what she calls 200 pound slugs(aka deer) in her yard eating her garden.

    Walter, I would also recommend Amazon since that is where I bought mine.

    Walter, I just went to the site you posted and I wish I had seen it in the spring. The motion detector costs much less than the other products I have looked at, and I really liked some of the other products too. Thank you.

    I know that this is an old post, but I just wanted to share anyway. I have had perfect success with one that looks like the scarecrow on amazon, but I got mine from Walmart for about $50. I have a beautiful little Juniper on the corner that seems to be the favorite leg lift spot for every male dog that happens by, but not anymore. It clicks, makes a psst sound, then fires a spray in their direction. Works every time.
