This item was the final solution keeping predators from my Koi Pond.
Worked better than I hoped. Excellent Product.

We've been finding some dog or cat poop in our yard so we decided to try this device. The Scarecrow is fairly easy to set up and connect, and with a couple of tests we had adjusted the spray angle and sensitivity.
A couple of problems we've ran into:
1) With the sensitivity set at a fairly normal level, on a hot day the thing seems to activate very often with no animal present. As a result, we used up 1 9-volt battery after only a week or two. Until I get rechargeable batteries, I've decided to only turn it on at night.
2) The angle for the motion detection is not all that great. As a result we can't actually cover our whole yard (which is pretty durn small) using just one device. We did find one dog/cat poop, but at a different location then where we found them before, so it is "working", but not quite accomplishing what we wanted.

The Scarecrow actually works. It really panics the fawns and the mothers follow the dash back into the woods.
Rating: - easy to use
This device was very easy to set up and use. The sensor seems to detect better just to each side of center. I could not adjust the water spray as low to the ground as I wanted, so I turned down the water pressure a little. Otherwise, it seems to be working and I haven't lost any more koi...... yet.

Great idea, but I have done everything from purchasing a new hose, to putting in rubber rings to even putting plumbers tape around the item to stop the water from spurting out. I have not been able to use the product because you have to leave the hose on and over the course of time gallons of water will leak out. Who has a fix for this? UGH!!!
